North American Gunslinger Detective

Chapter 794 Sudden accident
When the baptism was over and the others were leaving, Jimmy deliberately stayed for a while to chat with Father Rodney. The cross necklace he gave must be useful, but Jimmy had to ask clearly, because the child was still young and it was impossible for him to wear a necklace. Fortunately, this thing had only been purified by their baptism and had protective runes on it, which could provide the little guy with a certain ability to resist evil, so there was no rush for him to wear it.

This is a good thing. Little Liam got his first piece of magic equipment just over a month old, so he won at the starting line.

After Jimmy left the church and returned home with Nia and Liam, Roland came over shortly afterwards.

In the basement, Roland looked at Jimmy with a serious expression and asked, "Is the priest of that church an acquaintance of yours?"

Jimmy nodded, "We've known each other for a long time. I've worked with him on several previous exorcisms. What's wrong?"

Roland: "I felt something strange in the church just now. He seemed to have some ill intentions towards little Liam and kept staring at him."

Jimmy frowned, "Are you sure? Was it malicious?"

Roland: "I don't know, I just feel something is wrong. Tell me, who is he?"

Jimmy: “Father Rodney was my old church contact.”

Jimmy did not hide the truth from Roland. After all, Roland was a professional when it came to handling supernatural cases. He had been fighting those monsters all his life, so he must have some special abilities to sense certain things. Jimmy might not have noticed it at all because he was too familiar with them.

From the time he showed a special ability to see vengeful spirits, to later cooperating with the church to deal with some supernatural cases, to the time when the church showed special concern after Nia became pregnant, he also told Roland his own guess. The point was that the church was jealous of his ability to receive holy light energy, and they probably thought that their children would inherit the same physique.

A child who can receive the energy of holy light can do so many things after years of training by the church. This is hope for Father White and others.

Roland looked up at the ceiling of the basement and sighed. "The black rainbow you used up probably can't be inherited, but your psychic ability is possible. People like you are very rare in our world. If you are in a gathering place, you will become their important advisor and be called a psychic."

Jimmy: "Does every gathering point have people like this?"

Roland shook his head: "Impossible. There may be many people who can show the ability of psychic, but those who can become psychics are all powerful people. Even if ordinary people have it, their ability is not enough."

Jimmy breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good. If Liam doesn't even have the ability to shine when he grows up, the church will naturally give up on him, and then he can live a normal life."

Roland: "Well, psychic abilities usually begin to appear in underage children. If they still don't have special abilities by adulthood, then they probably don't have psychic abilities."

Jimmy: "So the fact that you observed Father Rodney staring at Liam is probably because they have been keeping an eye on him. They don't mean to harm him. I think it should be fine."

Roland nodded. "Oh, by the way, I want to go back again in a while, but it would be best if I could bring back a generator. The generator I have is from an ancient ruin. If something goes wrong, I won't be able to repair it. Also, let's see if we can start it directly here. If we can, it will be more convenient in the future."

Jimmy: "I'll bring you some cash, you can figure it out."

Roland: "Now we can go back and forth normally, Jimmy, I think..."

Jimmy interrupted immediately: "No, Liam is too young, I can't leave him, he needs me."

Roland: "It won't take too much time. I'll ask a wizard to come check it out in advance."

Jimmy: "Roland, now is not the time, give me some time..."

Roland sighed and nodded, "I understand. You go upstairs, I'll clean up here."

Jimmy reached out and patted Roland's arm. "Thank you," he said, then turned and walked up the stairs.

Roland watched Jimmy leave the basement and sit directly on the box next to him.

Roland didn't want to see Jimmy's tough attitude, but he couldn't blame Jimmy because his reasons were really strong. For little Liam, Roland couldn't even open his mouth to persuade him.

The Dark Tower world is not safe. Maybe it is not a big threat to Roland, but for Jimmy or others, living in the Dark Tower world for a long time will be a very big challenge. If they are not careful, they may sleep there forever.

Jimmy was unwilling to go to the Dark Tower world with him. The direct impact was that his previous guesses could not be confirmed, but no matter what, he had to go back for a while, because he had also used a Merlin Rainbow. If he left for a long time, it might affect the energy balance of the world. Maybe it would be faster to let those wizards verify it himself first.

However, it is still difficult to find a magician in this world who can cooperate with him in verification. They are not fixed in one place, so it requires too much luck.

Maybe it would be a good idea to find the right person first and then let Jimmy go. This would save a lot of time. If Jimmy could travel through time in a short time, he might agree.

Roland stood up, brushed off the dust on his pants, tidied up the cover in front of the portal, and quickly left the basement. He did not go upstairs to communicate with Jimmy again, but left the house directly and returned to his temporary apartment.

In the bedroom upstairs, Jimmy came to the baby's room. Little Liam was already asleep. Nia put him back in the crib to rest and went back to the bedroom.

Jimmy squatted down and looked at little Liam with a smile on his face. He took out the cross necklace given by Father Rodney from his pocket, and after looking at it, he directly wrapped it around a corner of the crib and hung the cross in the crib. It is not yet known whether this necklace is useful or not, but at least it should not do any harm.

Back in the bedroom, Nia was standing by the window. Jimmy walked over and hugged her from behind: "What are you thinking about?"

Nia raised her head slightly and pointed with her chin at Roland who had just left their house: "Roland, did he go to church today?"

Jimmy: "Well, he went there and back by himself, not with anyone else."

Nia: "What are you talking about? You're always sneaking around, as if you're planning something?"

Jimmy put his head on Nia's shoulder and sniffed her hair. The smell of shampoo was very light, but Nia had a strong milky scent, which basically covered the smell of cosmetics. "Nothing, he just wants to go back."

Nia turned her head and kissed Jimmy: "What about you?"

Jimmy stopped moving, "What's wrong with me? I'm fine."

Nia: "Didn't he want to invite you to his world? I saw you guys secretly chatting many times, it seems like it's not just as simple as him going back, right?"

Nia is not stupid, but she was completely focused on little Liam before and subconsciously ignored many things. Now, even if she just thought about it a little, she realized that there must be something else between Jimmy and Roland that they were hiding from her, and the biggest possibility is that it is related to Jimmy.

Jimmy shook his head, "It's okay, don't worry, I won't go over there, at least not until little Liam grows up."

Nia nodded, and when she was about to speak, she suddenly heard a voice from Liam's side, and immediately ran over, "Oh, my little guy, Jimmy, bring me a diaper."

Jimmy was about to sit down, but he had to turn around and walk to the baby room. Nia had already gone to adjust the temperature of the water to wash the little guy's butt.

Anyone who has children should know that some smells are really strong, so this is definitely not an easy task, but fortunately the exhaust equipment is quite powerful and will not accumulate in the room for a long time.

Roland prepared quickly. Thanks to the untraceable funds provided by Jimmy, the generators and batteries he purchased were quickly delivered to the designated warehouse. Roland then drove them to Jimmy's house himself. He and Jimmy, the two physical monsters, moved them one by one to the basement and piled them all aside.

Now Jimmy's basement has almost become a doomsday survival fortress. In addition to power generation equipment, there is also a batch of food and drinking water, as well as a bunch of compressed dry food and canned products that can be stored for a long time.

If it were in another country, such large-scale purchases might seem strange, but in the United States, a place full of doomsday survival monsters, these purchases seem very normal. After all, these things are all civilian food, not large-scale purchases of weapons.

Actually, there were still some hidden dangers. After all, Jimmy's basement looked quite large, but Roland's purchases were basically shipped to the other side. If someone investigated, they would find that the quantities of many goods did not match at all. But who would investigate Jimmy? Even if his home's electricity consumption was abnormal, no one would suspect that he was growing leaves at home. After all, Jimmy and Nia's identities were quite sensitive, and they just had a child...

If someone really wants to investigate them, that would be fun. Maybe Jimmy wouldn't even need to take action, as the other party would be crushed by the FBI New York office and the NYPD.

The generator on the opposite side was not always running, so Roland could only carry some things with him and send them over first. After finding the ruins, he would start the generator to drive the portal to connect with the portal in Jimmy's basement. Then he could use a cart to deliver the stored materials as quickly as possible. So the whole process was very slow, and Roland could only rely on himself to slowly adjust it on the opposite side. Jimmy could only cooperate in the moving, and could not make any big movements to avoid arousing Nia's suspicion.

But they were just trying to cover up their own mistakes. They had delivered supplies and equipment to the basement many times, and it was not only Nia who was paying attention to it. In fact, many people, including the spies in the church, knew that Jimmy had started to purchase a lot of things after moving here. But these things did not seem to be too unusual, and people just thought they were spare supplies he stored, so not many people paid attention to these things. Once they were exposed later, perhaps these people would be able to make a lot of associations.

Of course Nia knew what they were doing, but Jimmy assured her again and again that these were all prepared for Roland, and Nia also knew that Roland could return to his own world, so she stopped asking questions.

Roland was the only person from the other world Nia knew, so she was of course very curious. However, she was in no mood to find out about these things right now. Her whole mind was on little Liam, so she didn't ask Roland about his past. She just wanted to make sure that he was harmless to her family.

It is no exaggeration to describe Roland's action of moving these supplies as an ant moving house. It was not until Jimmy's basement was basically emptied that this large-scale move lasted for more than half a month before it was completely completed. The price he paid was that the oil he had purchased before was almost dry, and it was estimated that it was only enough to activate the portal once or twice at most.

After asking Jimmy to help buy some supplies for the basement, Roland looked at Jimmy, turned around and entered the portal back to the Dark Tower world. After turning off the portal controller and looking at the supplies in front of him, Roland began to seal up the ruins. He wanted to go out and look for the wizard. After he left the Dark Tower world and went back and forth so many times, he wondered if the energy of this world had any fluctuations because of him.

It was obvious that Roland could not handle these delicate tasks of perceiving the world's energy by himself, and he could only rely on the judgment of others to determine the subsequent processing.

Little Liam is already a few months old. The chubby little guy is the apple of the family's eye. Nia's mother comes to stay with him almost every few days. After all, they live in the same city and are too close. Most of the time, the little guy is passed back and forth between Nia and her mother. As long as he is awake, it is basically not Jimmy's turn to carry him around.

This also gave Jimmy a lot of time to deal with his own affairs. After all, strictly speaking, he was still an unlucky non-curricular student. However, he was lucky. As long as he completed the credits and finished the thesis in the second half of the year, he could graduate smoothly.

The one or two years of silence did not make Jimmy leave the workplace, but gave him more time to adjust between his family and studies, and also paved some ways for his subsequent promotion.

However, it was almost impossible for him to have smooth sailing. When he was reading materials and preparing his paper, the phone rang and James' voice came from the receiver: "Jimmy, I need your help. Mary is in trouble."

Jimmy was stunned and immediately asked, "What happened? Where are you?"

James: "I was at home in Little Rock, Mary was at a club and several of the guys were having a breakdown and she couldn't even remember who I was."
