346 Is This the Black Rainbow? What about pain?
Gordon and Scott returned to the FBI office with them, and it was already off work, but Hughes hadn't come home because of Jimmy.
Gordon arrives at Hughes's office, asks him for the surveillance team to help monitor suspects found by the CTA, reports on the progress of the bomb case, and finally asks Jimmy about it, which Hughes blocks back on the pretext that he is working on a separate case.
Gordon went back to the conference room where they had been and gave Scott the corresponding monitoring tasks, and the monitoring team was in place the next day, so now they could go back and rest.
Scott: "Did you ask about Jimmy?" β
Gordon: "Yes, but Hughes isn't telling the truth. Jimmy's side should have something going on and need to be dealt with urgently, but it has nothing to do with us, it's just that we don't have his support for the time being. Okay, let's go tomorrow as planned. β
Gordon went back to the hotel, and when he was resting at night, he saw the video replay on the TV, and then he realized what was going on with Jimmy.
The next day, Gordon arranged for everyone else to leave to run errands, and he called Jimmy.
Gordon: "Jimmy, what's the video I saw last night?" That video was taken when you went to investigate the warehouse, why did this video go out? β
Jimmy said helplessly: "The people I injured were gang members, and their boss deliberately put out the video in order to disgust people, because the surveillance was secretly installed by themselves, so we didn't find it when we investigated the scene." It's okay, Hughes and they're dealing with it, I'm going to help you deal with the bomb when I'm done here. β
Gordon: "Don't worry, I've already applied for the monitoring team, and we'll take care of the rest of the work." Since it's okay, hang up the phone, goodbye. β
Gordon hung up the phone and thought about it, but in the end he still didn't call the headquarters, this kind of thing, New York should be able to handle it by itself.
Jimmy threw the phone on the coffee table, Gordon is from DC headquarters, and the reason for the matter must not be told to him, Hughes specially reminded him yesterday that he could not let DC headquarters know about this matter for the time being.
Because he didn't have to go to work, Jimmy had a good night's sleep today, and he had just woken up not long ago.
After frying a few eggs in one go, and taking out the prepared bread, energy bars, chocolates, and fast food, Jimmy took out the black rainbow from the safe in the study.
Because Jack said that Roland was very painful when he fused the rainbow, and Jimmy didn't know whether it was physical or mental. At the same time, based on the principle of conservation of matter, if the body is strengthened, then it will inevitably consume a lot of energy, in order to be safe, he began to prepare for the purchase of some food that can quickly replenish energy and monitor the body after separating from Jack.
When he came back yesterday, Jimmy thought about it and took advantage of the forced vacation time to attack Black Rainbow. It's not ready yet, at least the nutrient solution that Jimmy originally planned to buy hasn't been bought, and the monitoring equipment hasn't been bought.
But the opportunity is really good, because of the accident, Hughes It takes a long time for them to deal with it, and it is estimated that their mandatory leave will definitely not be just two days, no one will bother, and they are forcibly asked to stay at home and not go out, such an opportunity to integrate the black rainbow is indeed the most suitable.
Jimmy didn't put the Black Rainbow on the ground and smash it, Jack said to make himself the closest person, and there was an apartment under the floor, what if there was a Spider-Man crawling on the ceiling downstairs, so Jimmy directly put the Black Rainbow on the chair, put a pillow under the Black Rainbow so that he could fix it in that position, sat cross-legged on the carpet next to him, picked up a hammer and began to look at the Black Rainbow.
Just like when Jimmy first got the black rainbow, the black rainbow in the shape of a round crystal ball seems to be flowing in the black streamer, and it doesn't seem to move at all, and the black rainbow looks at it for a long time, and his eyes can't even be moved, as if he wants to fall into it.
Jimmy looked at it for a while, weighed the hammer in his hand, and slammed it on the top of the black rainbow, he aimed very accurately, the black rainbow did not move left and right, but was directly smashed down a pillow, fixed between the hammer and the chair.
Well, it seems that Jimmy underestimated the black rainbow, this shell is definitely not made of ordinary glass, and Jimmy didn't react at all when he hammered down. He turned the hammer, this time in the position of the goat's horn, and with a little more force. Finally, with a click, the goat's horn was embedded in the black rainbow, and the entire crystal ball shattered.
The black rainbow in the crystal ball exploded in an instant as if it had a will of its own, but Jimmy didn't hear anything other than the sound of the crystal ball shattering.
The black rainbow spread out in all directions like a burst firework, and it was originally just a black substance in a small crystal ball, but now it seemed to spread very large in volume, and soon submerged Jimmy's body.
Jimmy didn't dodge, because what Jack had said before was to fuse the black rainbow, so he naturally had to come into contact with it. During this process, Jimmy kept his eyes open to observe, and the area covered by the black rainbow was all black, with no other color at all, but after the initial spread, the black rainbow quickly recycled into an oval black ball, enveloping Jimmy.
Jimmy turned his head to continue to observe the black rainbow, after it formed an ellipse, it seemed to cut off Jimmy from the outside world, and the sound of the car horn that could be heard before disappeared instantly, but it didn't seem to have much impact on Jimmy, he stretched out his legs, ready to stand up, suddenly as if he lost consciousness, Jimmy did not get up, but fell backwards on the carpet with his upper body.
ββ
Jimmy didn't open his eyes, but first looked around with his eyes and made sure that there was nothing wrong with him. He was still lying on the carpet, reaching out and pressing the carpet and sitting up, the black rainbow on the chair had become a piece of shards, and some of the pieces had fallen on the carpet. The black oval that surrounded him before was gone, and nothing seemed to have changed in the living room.
He stood up and took his phone from the coffee table, there were a few missed calls, and of course the key was time. It was around 9 a.m. when Jimmy smashed the black crystal, and it was already 4 p.m. Fortunately, he was not in a coma for a particularly long time.
Jimmy looked through the missed calls, Hughes one, Ruiz one, and to his surprise, the other one was Peter. The rest is nothing, there are three different numbers, but they are not in Jimmy's address book, so I don't know who they are.
Jimmy called Hughes back first, Hughes's call came at noon, only a few hours later, and it was okay, not a big problem.
Jimmy: "Hughes, what's the matter?" Sorry, overslept. β
Hughes: "Come to the bureau tomorrow morning and prepare for a hearing about the first video. After that, he hung up the phone, well, it seems that Jimmy didn't get the call, and he was still a little upset.
Ruiz only informed Jimmy, because Hughes didn't get through, so he asked Ruiz to inform him again in the afternoon.
Peter was very surprised, he only reacted when he saw the video on TV, others don't know, but he knows Jimmy's combat power, for the fast and accurate marksmanship in the video, or Asian, naturally the first thing that comes to mind is Jimmy. Can Peter recognize it as Asian, or because he is too familiar with Jimmy, and after working together for two or three months, everyone will naturally not be strangers, and he will know that it is Jimmy by looking at the outline and movements.
After a casual conversation on the phone, Jimmy hung up the phone, this matter can't be said much now, since Hughes informed that there will be a hearing the next day, then there must be progress today, I hope it is good news.
Jimmy put his phone on the coffee table, got up to go to the bathroom, and just took two steps when he suddenly felt that something was wrong. Jimmy raised his hands in front of him, his left and right hands moved his fingers, it seemed normal, he put down his hands and slowly walked to the bathroom, he only realized the problem when he walked, it seemed that his movements could not keep up with his brain.
He could clearly perceive the amplitude of the swing of his left and right hands and the distance of his footsteps, but he always felt that there seemed to be a problem with the transmission of a machine, and there was some delay, and his mind had turned many times, but his body seemed to be unable to keep up with the command of his brain.
Looking at the mirror on the washstand, Jimmy observed himself, his eyes seemed to be normal, his face was normal, and it was normal to reach out and lift his legs, but what was the sour feeling?
After going to the bathroom, Jimmy went to the study, took out the revolver to withdraw the bullet, and then habitually practiced the reloading action, and the bullet fell to the ground without accident.
There is a problem with his body, and it is a big problem, you must know that he is very skilled in reloading, since he learned this hand from Roland, he has been training for a long time, and it can be said that he has not made a mistake for a long time.
The current situation is that he clearly knows how to operate, but the movement of his left hand is a little slower, and the frequency of his right hand to pluck the nest does not match, resulting in the speed of the bullet not keeping up with the speed of the rotation of the wheel, and the bullet hits the nest and falls to the ground.
Jimmy bent down to pick up the bullet and put it on the table, he went back to the living room, first picked up all the pieces of the black rainbow and put them in an iron box, then did some stretching movements to warm up, pulled out the rower in the corner, and let his body get used to it first.
While pulling the rowing machine, I wondered what was going on?
Jack said that Roland was in great pain when he fused with the rainbow, and he didn't feel it at all, just a few hours in a coma, and he didn't feel pain at all.
The black rainbow, as one of the thirteen rainbows in Roland's world, is very precious, and Roland's own personal test is effective, so he should be strengthened, but now he feels that he seems to be weakened? There seems to be something wrong with my body's coordination.
After twenty minutes of activity, Jimmy stopped, and after calming down a little, he began to do push-ups, sit-ups, leg presses, and turns, as if his body was normal, and these movements could be done normally, and it felt no different from before.
Didn't eat at noon, Jimmy moved for a while, he was really a little hungry, he opened the refrigerator and took out the food to prepare for cooking, when he picked up the kitchen knife, he suddenly wanted to test it, took a celery, Jimmy concentrated and began to cut thin slices, the sound of knock knock came from the cutting board, Jimmy stopped the knife in his hand and began to check.
Each piece of celery is very thin, a little better than the previous cut, and the thickness is very even, it seems that he has accurately controlled the distance between the vegetables cut with his right hand, this is not that he has practiced more knife skills when cooking, but his precise control ability seems to have become stronger.
Jimmy put down the knife, washed his hands, and returned to the study, holding the revolver to try to reload again, this time he concentrated on controlling his left and right hands, except for two bullets that fell out, the remaining four fell into the nest normally.
Fortunately, Jimmy poured out the bullets again, picked up the two on the ground, started again, repeated four times, and finally successfully put all 6 bullets into the bullet nest.
βYESγβ Jimmy finally knew what the problem was, the sourness of his movements was indeed real, but this was due to the fact that his mental ability seemed to have become stronger, because the body was not strengthened, which directly led to the fact that unless he concentrated on controlling his body, or completely relied on muscle memory to do it, as long as the brain intervened, the body's response would be delayed.
Reloading, too, after practicing a little more and familiarizing yourself with the rhythm, that feeling of proficiency returns.
Jimmy opened his eyes and began to look around, the distance between his eyes seemed to be strengthened, and the situation in the homes of the residents next to him was also seen clearly, and the black and gray lines that used to appear blurred at the edges of the objects were now much better, and the shapes seemed more realistic and realistic.
It seems that in the future, the most important thing is to exercise, so that your body can adapt to the faster brain as soon as possible, so as not to have problems at critical moments.
Having found the problem and thought of a solution, Jimmy happily went back to the kitchen to make himself dinner.
ββ
Early the next morning, Jimmy changed into a black suit and came to the bureau, this time he went directly to Hughes's conference room, and after waiting in the conference room for a while, several people came in from outside, Hughes, Ruiz, and a middle-aged man who looked familiar and must have seen him, they sat opposite Jimmy, and Gordon and Scott, who were following behind, sat next to Jimmy.
Hughes: "This is Dave Hudson, executive deputy director of the Manhattan office of the New York branch. Dave, this is Jimmy, the agent in the video. (By the way, Hughes is the assistant head of agents and is in charge of managing the field agents, while the chief of staff and deputy director are management and don't usually deal with Jimmy.) οΌ
Dave: "Great lad, isn't it?" Jimmy, we've talked about that video before, and I'm going to confirm with you now, what did you say when you stopped them talking? β
Jimmy: "Deputy Director, I was accompanying Scott to the bomb suspect's warehouse, Scott was searching for evidence inside, and I was in charge of guarding the door to prevent accidents. After the gang members showed up, I went to ask them how long they had rented the warehouse, and if it was longer, they might know about some of the suspects who had lived in the warehouse next door for a long time.
The video is incomplete, I first asked a person when he came out of the warehouse, and then he went back to the warehouse and found a small boss to come out. They probably saw that it was just me now, so they wanted to do it, and then a scene from the video happened. β
Ruiz stretched out his hand and said after receiving permission: "I got the full video from the T14 gang yesterday, and the previous situation is basically the same as what Jimmy said. β
Dave nodded: "So, you communicated with the people next to the suspect's residence in order to investigate the bomb case, and in the process of communication, because they were overly nervous and thought that you were targeting them, they would attack you first." Is that right? β
Jimmy: "Yes, Deputy Director, everything is to solve the case as soon as possible, the bomb attack is a terrorist case, and I must grasp any suspicious point to advance the case and continue the investigation." β
Dave looked at Gordon next to Jimmy, "Agent Gordon, is what Jimmy said true?" β
Gordon nodded: "It's true, after they returned, I and Scott have already confirmed, and that's the way it is." β
Dave curled his fingers with his right hand and clicked on the table twice: "Then the matter has been decided, involving a bomb terrorist attack, everything is the case first." And as an agent, after being attacked by two people, he was shot by four people, and being able to remove their threat in such an environment shows that our field agents are very capable.
Hughes, it seems that your ability to train new people has not regressed at all, do you want to consider becoming a teacher at the academy after retirement? β
The righteousness that Dave said earlier suddenly changed to ridicule Hughes, which caught Jimmy off guard. Looking at Hughes's face, still expressionless, it seems that he and Dave seem to have a little problem, shouldn't this kind of ridicule look at each other and smile?
Dave got up and buttoned up his suit: "Okay, I'll contact the boss of the news station, it's much faster to deal with it from above than you can find someone from below." This matter cannot continue to ferment. Jimmy Young, you're a good boy, well done. β
Dave left the room, and the others just stood up and gave it a send-off, and then sat down again.
Hughes: "Alright, you can go back, Jimmy, Ruiz, you two stay." β
Gordon and Scott got up to leave, and patted Jimmy on the back as they passed behind him, and it was obvious that they were also supporting Jimmy.
