As soon as the Human Emperor Banner came out, I became the Lord of the Old Ones

Chapter 71 Dragon Locking Technique

When Long Jianhuan returned to the patrol team, the lights were already on.

Li Xinglan's battered, round face with black eye sockets peeked out from behind the dim light of the spherical screen.

Her eyes flashed with the gleam of a worker glaring at a black-hearted boss.

"Deputy Captain Long, where have you been all day?"

The patrol team's clerk and accountant gritted his teeth and said, "They threw over thirty ledgers at me this morning, asking me to investigate Silver Tongue Riley's secret accounts. I'm dizzy and my brain is on fire. I can't even use the transistor computers at the accounting firm like that."

"Sorry for being delayed at the Star Shop for a while. I came back to work overtime with you all night!"

There was no trace of "apology" on Long Jianhuan's face.

"What, working overtime all night?"

Li Xinglan jumped up and was about to explode when he suddenly realized the key words. In an instant, he seamlessly switched from angry worker mode to gossip mode. "Wait, there's something wrong. You were in the Xingxing Store all day?"

"Don't look at me with such stupid eyes. I'm here to investigate the case."

Long Jianhuan returned to his seat, took out his work notes, and wrote quickly, with a large number of clues and guesses pouring out of the tip of his pen.

Li Xinglan looked over curiously and found that she was still starting from yesterday's "brainstorming" page and continued to wander in the "thinking maze".

"What do you mean, you still doubt Xu Yan?"

Li Xinglan was puzzled. "Didn't you say this was just a thinking game to exercise the brain?"

Long Jianhuan did not answer.

He filled three whole pages in one breath, all densely packed with tiny handwriting. Then he put down his pen, pondered for a moment, and cast a strange look at Li Xinglan.

"Do me a favor, get up."

She walked towards Li Xinglan, who was confused.

Make a fist with your right hand, stick out your thumb, and press against your spine.

He clasped his left hand lightly, trying to press down on his best sister's chest.

As soon as he reached out his hand, Li Xinglan ran away with a pale face.

"Why would you use the Dragon Locking Technique on me for no reason?"

Li Xinglan looked at Long Jianhuan's hands, as if he had seen the most terrifying monster from the past. "You know, when I was at the Wei'an Academy, I was most afraid of Instructor Tu using this."

"Locking Dragon" is a very unpopular method of restricting breathing.

The human spine is equivalent to a big dragon.

The power of breathing seems to come from the lungs, but its root lies in this big dragon.

Dalong was locked up and his lungs were compressed. In this situation, every breath became torture and an impossible task.

A devilish instructor at the Wei'an Academy is best at using this trick to torture students.

It left an unforgettable impression on countless students, including Li Xinglan.

Even Long Jianhuan couldn't help but twitch his eyes when he heard the three words "Dragon Locking Technique", and nightmarish memories emerged.

"Nothing, I just want to know if the 'Dragon Locking Technique' I learned from Instructor Tu has become rusty."

Seeing Li Xinglan hiding in the corner and shivering, Long Jianhuan shrugged and gave up the idea of ​​using his good sister as an experiment.

"Don't worry, you and Instructor Tu are like-minded. He's passed on everything he's learned throughout his life to you. Even after a hundred years, you won't be unfamiliar with it!"

Li Xinglan paused, curiosity overcoming fear. "But why did I suddenly think of such a brutal, uh, advanced technique like the Dragon Locking Technique?"

"Well..."

Long Jianhuan pondered, "I remember back at the Wei'an Academy, even the elite students who had practiced breathing techniques for years cried out in pain when they first experienced the Dragon Locking Technique. They couldn't even breathe, right?"

"Of course!"

Li Xinglan, still frightened, spoke in a sullen tone, "Except for you, a monster who has been sparring with the 'Scorching Sun Lion' since childhood, who else could withstand the 'Dragon Locking Technique'?" "Well, suppose there is such a person."

Long Jianhuan continued, "I've been wandering around in the wilderness since I was young, and I've never learned any systematic breathing techniques. I'm a complete wild child.

"But he was able to withstand external pressure and stimulation and breathe independently even when Dalong was locked up.

"Dear Officer Li, what would you say?"

"Hey?"

Li Xinglan's eyes widened in disbelief. "You've never learned any breathing techniques, yet you've managed to crack the Dragon Locking Technique? Doesn't that mean you're a one-in-a-million genius spirit master? Even more incredible than you!"

"Indeed, either you are a genius or you are a monster."

Long Jianhuan fell into deep thought, pondering the whole thing over and over again, and hesitated, "Is it possible that he is actually an erosion spirit, and a long time ago, he learned the ancient secrets similar to the "Mimic Breathing Method"?"

"how is this possible?"

Li Xinglan laughed dumbly, "Hasn't Instructor Tu taught us that the Dragon Locking Technique not only locks the spine, but also stimulates acupuncture points through a special vibration technique, locking a specific area of ​​the brain. Unless the soul and flesh are highly unified and mental power is used to stimulate vitality, it can be unlocked. Brute force alone is impossible to break it.

"The eroded spirit body is a cuckoo occupying the magpie's nest. The body has an instinctive rejection of the old soul, and it is impossible to perfectly unify it. When it encounters such a high-level breathing restriction technique as the "Locking Dragon Technique", it is lucky not to reveal its true form. How can it be completely cracked?"

"That's true, but..."

"Don't say 'but'. Who exactly is this genius and monster you're talking about? It can't be Xu Yan, right? No way!"

Facing Li Xinglan's curious eyes, Long Jianhuan slammed his work notes shut and turned away.

Ignoring the other party's loud protests, waving fists, she went straight to the captain's office.

"Xiaojun, you came back so late, and you've gained a lot!"

The office was filled with smoke and the trash can was littered with cigarette butts.

Jiang Yuan poked his head out from between the piles of files, his eyes bloodshot but full of scrutiny.

"Don't worry, I didn't go to the Rolling Stone Club."

Long Jianhuan knew what he was going to ask. "I won't do anything rash without solid evidence. I've been spending the whole day on the second-hand spiritual card street, familiarizing myself with the local customs and habits of Rolling Stone Castle. I also brought you some midnight snacks."

Jiang Yuan withdrew his gaze and snorted softly.

"So, what's the matter that needs to be dealt with again, Uncle Yuan?"

"Small things."

Long Jianhuan handed over a sealed evidence bag.

These were the hair, dandruff and blood samples that were secretly collected from Xu Yan just now.

"The samples collected from the slums shouldn't have been sent to Dawn City for testing yet. Could you help me send this sample over as well?"

She looked at Jiang Yuan expectantly.

"Not yet. A murder in the planning zone shouldn't waste precious resources in the safe zone. But since you're a new official and insist, I'll send it over overnight. However, we'll have to wait in line, so the results won't come out that quickly."

Jiang Yuan took the evidence bag, narrowed his eyes, and studied it carefully for half a minute. "What is this? Is it related to the murder of 'Silver Tongue' Riley?"

"perhaps."

Long Jianhuan said, "I suspect the owner of this sample is the murderer."

Jiang Yuan's hand stopped in mid-air.

"Didn't you say that the one who killed 'Silver Tongue' Riley was the eclipse spirit 'Gravedigger' that you have been tracking?"

"Yes."

Long Jianhuan smiled, "That's what I said."
