North American Gunslinger Detective

Chapter 796 Harsh Sound
There is more than one intersection on the beach trail, but Jimmy did not plan to close too many. He only blocked one big intersection temporarily. He would stop as many people as possible. This is not his home, and he cannot stop others if they really come.

Wearing a mask and gloves, Jimmy began to search along the route marked on the map. Mary and her group had walked quite a distance, so Jimmy had no way of determining what exactly was wrong.

But he was better than most people. Although it was tiring to frequently switch between normal vision and mind's vision, and sometimes he would misrecognize what he saw, it at least allowed him to make sure there were no problems around him and avoid embarrassing situations where he would end up getting caught up in his own investigation.

Now the environment in front of Jimmy is all grass, with only a few trees, not enough to form a forest, so it should be relatively safe. Although the church's information is incomplete, it at least gives Jimmy a potential target. And looking at what they recorded, Mary and the others are very likely to have encountered these things. So in order to avoid having their souls sucked away by these invisible things, they must try their best to cover the mind's eye vision throughout the process, even if it is a little harder.

This was not an easy investigation. Jimmy's mind's vision was flawed. Although he could observe abnormal spirits in the air, he could not identify spirits hidden inside objects or underground as long as they did not emit energy. So every time he switched his vision, he had to repeatedly compare everything he saw between black and white and color, which put a lot of mental pressure on him.

Normally, it would be easy to walk several kilometers, but now, after walking only more than half of the way, Jimmy already had a headache and dry eyes. He had to stop to rest and smoke a cigarette to relax.

Walking in a suit is really not a good thing. No matter what, this pair of leather shoes will definitely be ruined, but there is no other way. He came here in a hurry this time and went out directly with the business trip suitcase prepared in advance. The clothes in it were only regular suits, and this kind of dress could just cover up the weapons on his body, and he could also show his ID when necessary.

Several tourists were seen along the way, but Jimmy did not disturb them. It would obviously be a waste of time and energy to ask these people to leave before they found any threat. The key point was that it would likely cause chaos, which would have a greater impact on his investigation.

After a short rest, Jimmy walked forward again. From a distance, he saw several people gathered together in front of him. Two of them were squatting on the ground. It seemed that something had happened. He immediately ran over and asked, "Hey, guys, what happened?"

A bystander said, "He suddenly fainted while running..." When he turned around and saw Jimi, he stopped in surprise. Jimi didn't look like someone who should be here.

Jimmy's dress was different from that of normal tourists here. It was obvious that he was more suitable to appear in the high-rise buildings in the city, while the people in front of him were all wearing casual or sportswear. When Jimmy approached, he had already seen a person lying in front of them. One of the squatting people was trying to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation on him. It was obvious from his movements that he had received training.

The man paused and then said, "We are giving him first aid."

Jimmy looked down at the person lying on the ground. There was no blood on the ground, and there didn't seem to be any wounds on his body. "Have you called the police?" he asked as he squatted down and reached out to touch the other person's carotid artery. He still had a heartbeat.

"Not yet, he just fainted and we are trying to rescue him."

Jimmy stood up and said, "Let's call the police as soon as possible." He took out his cell phone and called Kag. "Hi, Kag, I found someone fainted on the beach trail. They are giving the patient first aid. Call an ambulance. It's 3 or 4 kilometers away from where I came from."

After hanging up the phone, he looked at these people and said, "My police friend is nearby. I asked him to come as soon as possible."

Before they could react, Jimmy had already arranged everything. This was somewhat unexpected to them. Another person looked at Jimmy in confusion: "Um, who are you?"

Jimmy reached into his pocket and pulled out his ID. "FBI, don't be nervous, I'm just passing by. Now, can anyone tell me what happened? How did he faint?"

Except for the person who squatted down earlier who turned his head to look at Jimmy and continued to try first aid, the others looked at each other, and then the person who spoke just now spoke up, "We met online and arranged to meet here to camp. We have already set up the tent over there, and came here to take a walk and chat. I don't know what happened to him. When we walked here, he first felt a little unwell, and then suddenly fell down after standing by the side for a while."

Jimmy took another look at the man lying on the ground: "Did he take anything?"

"Drugs? No, I don't know. This is the first time we've met, too."

Jimmy nodded: "He needs to go to the hospital, but you need to register your identity later. If anything happens to him...registering can save a lot of trouble."

Several people's faces turned ugly. They were just young people who made an appointment to hang out, but suddenly encountered this kind of thing, especially when they had to register their information with the police. These people were really unhappy. No one was willing to leave a file with the police, even if it was just an inquiry record.

However, looking at Jimmy's FBI ID and the gun revealed when he opened his clothes, these people did not object. They just left Jimmy aside and continued to surround the fallen person and watch them perform first aid and artificial respiration.

Jimmy looked around and decided not to abandon them here. He continued to wait for Kag. Fortunately, the distance was not far and Kag drove to Jimmy's side a few minutes later.

"First aid kit!" Jimmy shouted to Kag, who took out the first aid kit from the car and came to the man. However, after testing the carotid artery and respiratory tract to confirm that there was no problem for the time being, he did not take any action. In this situation, they could only wait for the ambulance to arrive.

After instructing Kager to register the identities of these people, Jimmy took the person who had just spoken to one side and said, "Where was the place where you rested before? Take me there later."

"why?"

"I suspect he may have come into contact with or inhaled something dangerous. Otherwise, it would be difficult for him to fall into such an acute coma. If you don't want the same thing to happen to another person, you'd better check it out."

Jimmy frightened him a little, and the real example in front of him really scared him a little, so he could only nod and agree.

The ambulance arrived at the scene, and one person accompanied the fainted man to the hospital. The others, Kag, had already registered, and now they took Jimmy and Kag to the camp.

Jimmy stared at the surroundings all the way and chatted with them briefly, but his identity prevented these people from telling him much. Kag drove the police car slowly behind him. After turning a few corners, they came to a flat grassland with a few big trees next to it that could provide shade. The place chosen by these people was good, the only problem was that it was a bit far from the highway.

Jimmy and Kag came over and walked around the area first. Then Jimmy asked Kag to check next to their tent, while he went to a tree nearby to observe.

When Jimmy approached the camp from the road, he felt something was wrong. He heard some faint sounds in his ears. As he got closer to the camp, the sounds gradually became louder, but they were still very weak. After walking around the area, he confirmed the direction of the sounds, which eventually pointed to the tree. However, he looked carefully and saw nothing.

After wasting some time checking, several people began to pack up their tents and luggage. Due to such a troublesome incident, their camping plan was cancelled and no one was in a good mood to continue camping.

Jimmy and Kag left first. After letting Kag go back, Jimmy continued to move forward. There was indeed something wrong with the place he had just discovered, but he couldn't find it for the time being, and he was not sure whether it was Jimmy's target. He could only mark it first to see if there were any other places with problems.

Jimmy's investigation ended quickly. He did find two things that were wrong, but just like before, he was not sure what they were. This was very frustrating, but it was at least a gain. He would let Father Royte get involved later.

It was easier to go back. He jogged back to the car after a few kilometers. Jimmy had just lit a cigarette when he suddenly noticed that something was wrong with Ricardo in the police car parked next to him.

"dong dong dong"

"Kag, wake up! It's over! ...Kag?!"

Jimmy knocked on the glass and shouted, but Kag didn't wake up. He simply raised his hand and smashed the car window with his elbow, reached out to open the car door, and patted Kag on the face several times. Kag finally reacted and woke up.

"Why did I fall asleep?" Kag said drowsily, yawning as he spoke.

Jimmy stared at Kag with an unpleasant expression, "Kag, tell me the truth, where have you been before?"

Kag: "No, I was at the police station as soon as I left home this morning, and then I came here. What happened?"

"Did you fall asleep by yourself just now? Why can't you wake up? Do you know about Mary's situation?"

Jimmy asked Kag to get out of the car with a serious expression. He glanced at Kag's eyelids and counted his heartbeats. Then he told him in chronological order what happened to Mary after the accident. First, she was listless and went to bed without eating dinner. Then she forgot James' name, and then she fell into a coma. The way Kag was sleeping just now was very similar to the first stage of Mary's accident.

Kag was also shocked. He didn't feel much at the moment. After checking his whole body, he looked at Jimmy and said, "I didn't find anything. Nothing."

Jimmy: "Think back, what did you do and where did you go from the time you got here until you went to bed?"

Kag took out a cigarette box from his pocket and it fell to the ground as soon as he opened it. Fortunately, Jimmy caught it quickly, but several cigarettes still spilled out. Jimmy ignored the cigarettes on the ground, took a cigarette from the box, put it in Kag's mouth, and lit it himself. Kag's hands were already shaking, and he was scared by Mary's illness.

Kag took two deep puffs and then began to tell what happened after he and Noah closed the road at this intersection. Apart from going to the roadside to release water, they did not leave the intersection until Jimmy called him and rushed to Jimmy's location. After that, they walked around the camps of several people and returned to this intersection. They did not go to any special place.

Noah had left before receiving the arrangement from the command center. Jimmy immediately picked up the phone and called Noah. Everything was normal on his side. Jimmy reminded him to pay attention to safety and notify him immediately if he felt unwell. Then he and Kag went to his waterproof position to check and eliminate the problems one by one.

Finally they returned to the camp where those people stayed before. It was completely empty now, but there was still some garbage left on the ground by them. Jimmy asked Kag to stay away from it, intercept other people on the way, and walked towards the tree he had suspected before.

This time he brought more things with him. He pulled out the dagger and put it in his left hand. He took out the exorcist badge from his pocket with his right hand, tried to pray a few words, then raised his hand and pressed the exorcist badge against the tree trunk.

He had vaguely heard some sounds here before, but didn't find the specific location. He once thought he was hallucinating. Now in Kag's state, he really couldn't be sure whether he had discovered this place before.

"Squeak..." A series of piercing sounds were heard at a high frequency. Jimmy's teeth felt a little uncomfortable, his fingertips were itchy, and his whole body was covered with goose bumps. The exorcist badge he pressed on the tree almost fell down. Fortunately, he held back. The dagger in his left hand stabbed into the tree trunk with a "dong", but it still did not stop the sound from continuing.

He pulled out the dagger and stabbed the tree several times, leaving a few cuts, but the harsh and uncomfortable sound did not go away. Jimmy felt a little nauseous, so he had no choice but to retract his right hand and immediately stepped back a few steps away from the tree.

Kag, who was far away, probably didn't seem to hear the harsh sound because of the distance. He just saw Jimmy chopping down the tree several times and then immediately retreating. Knowing that something must have happened, he immediately pulled out his pistol and ran over.

"Kag! Don't come near! Call Father Royte and ask him to bring the equipment over."

When Jimmy saw Kag running over, he immediately shouted to stop him. The only exorcist priest he knew here was Royte, and the situation at the scene was a bit tricky. He needed the exorcists to come and clean up the aftermath, or help him get rid of certain things.

Jimmy himself had no way of performing the purification ritual, and many of the things he had encountered before could be directly eliminated, so there were not many that required an exorcist priest to perform a purification ritual. So when investigating, he was not in a hurry to ask Father Royte to accompany him. After all, he didn't know what was going on, and the route was too long. If he hadn't discovered that something was wrong with Kag, he would have planned to go back and rest.

　I apologize profusely for delaying half a day. I will continue writing and update when I finish! In addition, I plan to finish the book as soon as possible, but I found that I missed a plot that I had planned before... Let me ask, should I save Hank...
