Chapter 1045 Obtaining Two Ultimate Skills
Upon hearing this, Zhang Yunhe's eyes narrowed, and he asked, "Why did you create this kind of acupuncture technique that tortures and kills people? With your medical talent, couldn't you create other medical techniques to heal and save lives?"
The Ninth Master replied, "The 'Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang Needle Techniques' is already the highest achievement in the field of medical acupuncture. Even if I were incredibly talented, I couldn't create a needle technique that surpasses it."
"So you developed a rebellious mentality?" Zhang Yunhe asked.
"Yes!"
Zhang Yunhe thought for a moment and said, "Nothing in the world is perfect. I believe that the 'Tiangang Thirty-Six Needle Techniques' is also imperfect. It must have flaws or shortcomings. There are diseases that it cannot cure, right?"
“Yes, it has flaws; it can’t cure all diseases!” Old Nine replied.
Zhang Yunhe then asked, "Then why don't you try to make up for the deficiencies in the 'Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang Needle Techniques'? I think with your talent, you should be able to make up for some of them, right?"
Lao Jiu said, "The 'Tiangang Thirty-Six Needle Techniques' is the result of the medical wisdom and experience of my ancestors, not the work of any one person. By my grandfather's generation, he had already filled in the last piece of the puzzle. There was no point in filling it in any further. The thirty-six cycles had reached their peak and the loop was complete!"
"My 'Seventy-Two Earthly Fiend Needle Techniques' is essentially a supplement to the 'Thirty-Six Heavenly Dipper Needle Techniques,' except one is for saving lives and the other is for killing."
"I have never practiced martial arts or learned any techniques for using hidden weapons. But if I had practiced martial arts and learned any techniques for using hidden weapons, I could have shot a silver needle at the opponent's vital point and killed them on the spot!"
"Silver needles are small and can be launched using concealed weapon techniques. As long as the force and speed are sufficient, one needle is enough to be fatal. If nine needles can be launched at the same time, no matter how high your martial arts skills are or how well you are covered in armor, you will not be able to defend against them!"
This guy is truly a genius!
While Zhang Yunhe was shocked, he also sighed inwardly. Although the "Seventy-Two Needle Techniques of Earthly Fiends" was a torture and murder secret method created by Lao Jiu, everything has two sides. This kind of skill is a disaster in the hands of a vicious person, but if it is in the hands of a pure and upright person, it is the sharpest weapon.
He took a deep breath and said, "Now tell me the contents of the 'Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang Needle Techniques' and the 'Seventy-Two Earthly Fiend Needle Techniques' one by one!"
"Yes!"
Next, Lao Jiu explained the key points of these two acupuncture techniques one by one, without missing a single detail. It took more than an hour to finish the explanation. Afterwards, Zhang Yunhe asked about the points he didn't understand, and Lao Jiu answered them one by one.
The interrogation only ended after Zhang Yunhe had fully mastered these two unique skills.
At this time, No. 76 was in an uproar because 12 people, including Wang Dabao, the head of the First Operations Division, had gone missing. They hadn't reported to work for several days in a row. When people were sent to their homes, their families said they hadn't seen them come home in the past few days.
In Li Qun's office, Li Sihai, the head of the Second Operations Department, reported to Li Qun: "Director, I have sent people to Lao Jiu's house. His two bodyguards are dead in the yard, the servants are nowhere to be found, and Lao Jiu is also missing!"
"We conducted an on-site investigation of his home and can basically confirm that it was an intruder who broke in and killed the two bodyguards. They were caught completely off guard and were violently struck on the head, resulting in dents in their skulls and damage to their brain tissue."
"As for Wang Dabao, we conducted an investigation at the accident scene. His car was badly damaged. Based on the on-site investigation and interviews with people around him, we can basically confirm that this was a premeditated and deliberately staged car accident. Witnesses said that Wang Dabao was pulled out of the car by a tall, masked man who broke the door, dragged him several meters on the ground, threw him into the car, and then drove away."
"No one knows how the other nine people disappeared, and we have no witnesses. They just vanished into thin air. I don't think this was a coincidence, but a premeditated act, a malicious attack against our 76th Division."
"Given the current situation, in Shanghai, only the Blue Shirts Society's Songhu Station has the capability to make 12 of our people disappear in a single day!"
"Bang—" Li Qun slammed his fist on the table, his face ashen, and roared angrily, "Damn it! We've been quiet for so long without any large-scale retaliatory actions. Is the Blue Shirts Society's Shanghai station going to break the tacit agreement?"
"If they want war, then let's fight! We, the 76th, are not pushovers; they can't just bully us. Call all the heads of the intelligence section and the various operations departments to the conference room!"
"Yes, Director!"
After Li Sihai left, Li Qun got up and left the office to go to Ding Mo's office.
"Director Ding!" Li Qun greeted.
Ding Mo was studying a white jade Buddha sculpture when he heard a shout from the doorway. He looked up, put down the sculpture, stood up, and said with a smile, "It's Old Li! Come in, come in!"
Li Qun walked to the sofa and sat down. Ding Mo poured two cups of tea, placed one in front of Li Qun and said, "Old Ding, come and have some tea!"
"Thank you, Director Ding."
Ding Mo took a sip of tea and asked, "Are you here because of the operation involving Wang Dabao, Lao Jiu, and the other nine missing people?"
“Yes!” Li Qun nodded, put down his teacup and suppressed his anger, and said, “Director Ding, right now in Shanghai, the only people who have the ability to secretly take down so many of our people in one day are the Blue Shirts Society’s Songhu Station. Liu Wanxiong of the Blue Shirts Society’s Songhu Station has gone too far. Since he wants to start a large-scale war, do you think we, the 76th Division, are afraid of him?”
“I can’t swallow this insult, and I believe the other brothers can’t either. If we don’t retaliate, what will the other brothers think of us? How can we lead this team? So, Brother Ding, this time you must support me no matter what!”
Ding Mo nodded solemnly: "Of course, we're in the same boat. What they're doing isn't just a slap in your face, it's a slap in my face, and it's a provocation against the entire 76th Division!"
"However, I still suggest that we not take any rash actions until we have absolute intelligence showing that the Blue Shirts Society's Shanghai station was responsible. For several years, both sides have maintained an unspoken understanding not to launch large-scale retaliatory operations against each other. If the Blue Shirts Society was not responsible, if we rashly launch a large-scale operation, we may fall into someone else's trap, and we may also end up in a firefight with the Blue Shirts Society, resulting in a large number of casualties."
"Brother Ding, is there any force in Shanghai now that is larger than us and the Blue Shirts Society? If the Blue Shirts Society didn't do this, I'll chop off my head and give it to you as a chamber pot!" Li Qun said angrily.
