North American Gunslinger Detective

Chapter 638 Blasting
Jimmy didn't find anything unusual in the basement just now, except for some psychological pressure and feeling a little cold physically.

There seems to be something wrong with this small religion called the Gate of Chaos. Since it is a religion, no matter how big or small, there will always be some symbols or specific items, but Jimmy did not see it in this town or the garbage recycling station.

Moreover, the statue Jimmy saw in the basement seems to have nothing to do with their so-called Chaos Gate. No words or other things were found at the scene, and no door was found. As a religious name, the door should theoretically have a very symbolic meaning. There are signs or objects, but the basement only has statues and no so-called doors.

In fact, Jimmy is now considering whether what Father Rodney and the others said before is true. If this is really the home of the Chaos Gate Church, it is too crude.

If it were anyone else, he might not think too much like Jimmy, but Jimmy is an FBI agent and a senior agent who has handled many cases. He really wants to get to the bottom of it and find out what the statue here is. What.

Back at the church, Father Rodney and others discuss who will perform the exorcism and how to destroy the statue.Jimmy listened a little confused, because the five priests used a lot of professional words when talking, and he didn't understand what they meant at all.

But at the end of the discussion about destroying the statue, Jimmy intervened, "Everyone, isn't it a bit slow to smash the statue with a hammer? I wonder if it would be more convenient to use explosives to blast it?"

The priests were suddenly stunned. They all turned their heads and looked at Jimmy with wide eyes. The sense of oppression became a little stronger. Jimmy seemed to have said something wrong, but he had already started talking, so he continued: "Your If the goal is to smash the statue, then drill some explosives into the holes in the statue, and you don’t need a lot to blow it up. The only thing you need is a certified demolitionist and a little explosive, industrial explosives will do.”

Father Rodney blinked. He really didn't expect this. He turned to look at the others. Several priests were silent. They had never used this method to destroy anything before.

Jimmy saw that they were silent, so he continued to add: "You just said you were going to find a hammer. It's just a few of us who want to destroy the five statues there. I don't know how long it will take, and we certainly can't smash it very hard." Broken. If there are professional blasters, all the statues in the basement should be blown to pieces with just one blast."

Father Rodney waved his hand: "Jimmy, please wait outside for a moment."

Jimmy shrugged and turned around and left the church. He went outside and lit a cigarette for himself. This kind of abandoned town is actually quite rare. After all, this is not the era of westward expansion. No matter how small this kind of town is, it still has an upper-level management organization. To deal with it, if a town is to be merged with other places or abolished, there should be some renovations here, instead of being completely abandoned like it is now.

If he wanted to investigate, Jimmy believed he could get some information from the county government here, but it had nothing to do with him, and there was no one he knew in this town.

After Jimmy finished smoking a cigarette, no one came out. It seemed that they had a lot to discuss. Jimmy was also funny. I guess the people in the Vatican had never thought about using explosives to exorcise demons. They didn't even use guns before. They all used cold weapons. It is estimated that in the past, this kind of thing was destroyed by manpower.

These priests are a bit too conservative. In fact, Jimmy suspects that none of them, the exorcist priests, have ever tried to exorcise demons with anything other than the weapons provided by the Holy See. It feels like they are a bit too upright.Of course, this may also have something to do with Jimmy himself. He is not a professional exorcism priest. He is completely self-taught.

Finally, the discussion among the priests in the church ended, and everyone walked out. Rodney came to Jimmy: "Jimmy, I think we need to go back. There is no one else here. You can go back to New York with us. There shouldn’t be any problems here.”

Jimmy looked at Rodney in surprise: "Go back? Why?"

Rodney: "As you said, it is still difficult to rely on a few of us to destroy the statues here. Maybe it would be better to try your method. We can currently confirm that it is their altar, and there is no sign now. Their people will come over, so go back and contact the professional demolition personnel before coming over.”

Jimmy turned his head and glanced in the direction of the recycling bin. He was not as optimistic as Rodney.Rodney noticed nothing unusual at night, but Jimmy was awakened, indicating that something must have happened near the church.

Jimmy: "Does everyone need to go back? How many people will there be when you return?"

Rodney: "It should be just me. I should be able to come back after I contact the demolition expert."

Jimmy thought for a while, then left, waiting for Rodney to come back alone. If he encountered what happened before, he wouldn't be able to deal with that kind of invulnerable person by himself. In addition, there would be demolition experts at the scene, so maybe he would be able to do it by then. There might be heavy casualties.

Jimmy looked at the others, who had already arrived at the car, "Father Rodney, are you sure you only need demolition experts, right?"

Father Rodney: "Yes, I would do an exorcism alone before blasting to make sure there are no problems."

Jimmy: "So, what about the reward? Do you pay it?"

Rodney frowned. When they discussed it just now, they didn't mention the remuneration of explosives experts at all. For the bishops and senior priests of the Archdiocese of New York, there seems to be no cost issue at all when hiring such people, or Said they didn't have to consider the cost at all, "This needs to be reported back to Bishop Anderson to determine."

Jimmy: "I'm a little worried..." He paused, "You know, you suffered heavy losses when you faced the Chaos Gate cultists twice before. This time you destroyed their altar by yourself, or did you? It’s very risky.”

Rodney: "Do you mean to let us all wait here for Bishop Anderson to arrange it?"

Jimmy nodded: "For safety's sake, it's better for you to have more people."

Rodney turned his head and glanced at the few people who had already gotten on the car, and also looked at the location of the garbage collection station. He waved to a few people, and four priests got out of the car and walked up to them. Father Rodney said to them : "Everyone, wait a moment, I will contact the diocese to see their opinion."

After saying that, Father Rodney walked into the church, and Jimmy and others stood waiting.

A few minutes later, Father Rodney came out and said, "Jimmy, come in with me."

Arriving inside the church, Father Rodney handed Jimmy his cell phone: "Bishop Anderson."

Jimmy took over: "Bishop Anderson, this is Jimmy Young."

Bishop Anderson: "Jimmy, thank you for accompanying them to investigate this incident."

Jimmy: "No, no, don't be so polite, I should have done it."

Bishop Anderson: "Your suggestion is very good. I wonder if I could trouble you to arrange this matter? As long as the matter can be dealt with, we will have no problem with the necessary expenses."

Jimmy: "There may be something wrong with this. I don't know anyone who is a demolition expert right now."

Bishop Anderson: “But you must have more channels than we do, please.”

Jimmy paused: "Okay, I'll try."

Jimmy returned the phone to Father Rodney. Rodney hung up the phone and said, "So, Jimmy, do you have a way to contact the demolition expert?"

Jimmy: "Give me some time."

Father Rodney nodded and left the church. Jimmy really didn't expect that this matter would happen to him. Although it was inconvenient to make it public this time, it was a normal thing after all, and he definitely couldn't go through special channels. Jimmy called Dave.Jimmy: "Dave, I have a little problem here. ..." Jimmy paused, Dave did not speak, he continued: "Father Rodney and the others need to destroy an evil statue, but they can't do it for the time being. Yes, I just called Bishop Anderson and he wanted us to help contact an explosives expert to come and deal with it."

Dave: "Is it necessary?"

Jimmy: "There are five humanoid statues on site, life-size, in a basement, but Father Rodney and the others don't even have a hammer."

Dave thought for a while and said, "Did you contact Bishop Anderson directly?"

Jimmy: "Father Rodney called me and I had a few words with Bishop Anderson and he asked me to help with this."

Dave: "I understand, you can handle it yourself and don't associate this matter with us."

Jimmy: "You mean...FBI?"

Dave: "That's it, wait until you come back to my place."

Jimmy: "I understand. Goodbye then."

Come on, Dave thinks this is very troublesome and wants nothing to do with it.Jimmy held the phone and smiled bitterly. It seemed that Dave did not fully support the Holy See, and he did not want to get involved in things like explosions.

So, Jimmy's choice now is the hotel. As for the Counter-Terrorism Bureau, Jimmy has not contacted them since he left the CIA.

Jimmy came outside the church and called Rodney into the church: "Rodney, I need your cell phone."

Rodney gave Jimmy his cell phone, and he dialed Charon's number directly: "Charon, this is Jimmy. I need to issue a task for someone else and find a professional, an explosives expert."

Charon: "Can I ask who he is?"

Jimmy glanced at Rodney: "Of course, the Archdiocese of New York."

Charon: "OK, do you have any requirements?"

Jimmy: "There are five statues that need to be exploded. The statues are in the basement, so very professional personnel are needed to avoid accidents."

Charon: "I received your message, please wait for my message."

Jimmy sat down with his cell phone, Rodney didn't say anything, and the two of them just waited for the call.

Ten minutes later, a phone call came. There was a man's voice on the other side of the phone, "Is this Mr. Yang?"

Jimmy: "Yes."

Man: "I am the person you are looking for. Please give me an address."

Jimmy reported their location, and the other party made an appointment with Jimmy to come here the next morning.

The four unnamed priests eventually failed to leave, and Rodney stayed with them, but briefly left to buy food and sleeping bags.

The next morning, a bearded white man drove a pickup truck outside the church and said, "I'm looking for Mr. Yang."

Jimmy shook hands with him: "I am, what do you call me?"

The man ignored the other priests, looked at Jimmy and said, "Just call me Tony. Where is the location that needs my homework?"

Jimmy: "Come with me, we'll go there together."

Jimmy and his group came to the garbage recycling station. Father Rodney opened the small room and took Tony into the basement. Tony took out the tool box to check the material of the statue, and recorded the size and width of the basement before returning to the ground.

He took a notebook from the car and calculated a lot of data on it that Jimmy couldn't understand. Then he nodded to Jimmy, "No problem, I think I can do it."

Jimmy and Rodney chatted for a while, and everyone began to take down the ritual equipment from the car and walked down to the basement.Jimmy had nothing to do with the exorcism ceremony. He and Tony stayed outside and waited. Tony had already begun to adjust his equipment and prepare explosives.

Jimmy glanced at a small box in Tony's pickup truck. Good guy, this bunch of C4 is quite a lot. According to what he told Charon, it was only five statues. This bunch of C4 can almost blow up a house. ?
Tony prepared some tape and plastic tubes, cut the C4 into small pieces and tied them with the plastic tubes. Then he took out a batch of detonators from the carriage, followed by various wires and controllers. After some operations, Five sets of scattered C4 explosives are ready.

After Father Rodney and the others came out, Tony went to the basement with everyone watching, and drilled several holes in the five statues with a hand drill. Then he stuffed some explosives into the small holes, and then added some explosives to the statues. Posted some.

When everything was ready, Tony connected the wire and asked everyone to leave the hut. When he came to the open space, he looked at everyone and pressed the detonator "3...2...1". There was a "boom" and the sound of an explosion came from the hut. A burst of dust burst out from the basement entrance where the ground could be seen from the open door, and quickly rushed out of the cabin and into the air.

Before anyone could step forward, Jimmy suddenly pulled out the 1875 and fired two shots in the air, "Be careful."

A heart-stopping shock hit, Jimmy shuddered, Father Rodney and the others were fine, but Tony's legs weakened and he fell sideways.

"Something's coming out." Jimmy held up two 1875s towards the hut. Father Rodney and the others also pulled out their weapons. The five priests spread out and stood in front of Jimmy and Tony. They also took them from their pockets. He took out a small bottle of holy water and poured it on the weapon.

A deep voice came from the dust in the small room, "I'm back."

　I changed my original plan after referring to the comments. I'll give it a try first and see the reaction.
