Chapter 782
Taking advantage of Roland's lack of saying more things, Jimmy quickly changed the topic, Texas is a place with a high incidence of traditional supernatural events in the United States, just let Roland introduce one or two legends to delay the time, it just so happens that Nyoa was quite interested in these before, so at least it won't make her think that Jimmy's change of topic is too obvious.
There are a lot of materials on Roland's side for this kind of thing, you must know that he has been active for more than ten years on Earth alone, plus his previous experience in the Dark Tower world, he can make something to attract Nia's attention by doing anything casually.
It's just that this old guy is obviously uneasy and kind, and even said that the legends of Texas are not interesting, and the most impressive is in Death Valley, California, which makes Jimmy even more uncomfortable.
Death Valley is the place where the original owner was rescued by Roland, when there was a demonic incident, the original Jimmy was lucky to be rescued by Roland, but his father died there, and then the original Jimmy lived with Roland and them for several years, until he went crazy and left Roland and began to wander.
However, Roland still didn't explain things too clearly after all, but just said that there will be suspected accidental supernatural events on the Death Valley side every few years, a very magical place, of course, there will be some accidents on the Death Valley side, and it can't be said that he is lying.
Nia turned her head to look at Jimmy, her eyes blinked, and Jimmy immediately shook her head, "Don't think about it, that kind of place is too dangerous, stay in New York honestly." ”
Nia is just an ordinary person, any supernatural events are serious for her, there are many things that can't be seen and touched, but they are fatal, and Nia has already been admitted to the hospital once on the ghost lake before.
Roland laughed: "Just kidding, Death Valley is a well-known tourist destination in California, if there are really so many weird legends there, how can so many people go there to play?" But the view is good, we have been there several times, it is a worthwhile place to visit. ”
Jimmy shrugged, "Anyway, Death Valley isn't very touristy, it's not a good name, I definitely won't go, I might as well go to Hawaii." ”
Nia: "Well, it seems that it's really hard to see things that you don't normally see. ”
Jimmy: "You'd better have a snack, you were tricked last time, and you want to do this again?" It's not always the case that you're lucky enough to run into someone in the church. ”
The smile on Roland's face slowly disappeared, and he hurriedly asked what was going on, and Nia told him what happened to him, he was just going to investigate the disappearance, but he accidentally fell into a coma, if it wasn't for Jimmy rushing over, things would be in big trouble.
That incident was over properly, especially the exorcism ritual that the priests of the church did after they arrived, although she was far away, but she could be regarded as a bystander, so there was still a lot of content, but she didn't say what Jimmy did in it.
Roland turned his head to look at Jimmy and nodded, obviously this matter was handled by Jimmy, you must know that Jimmy has the ability to shine, this point is already ahead of many people.
Jimmy pursed his lips, and roughly told the story of the ghost lake, the priests handled it cleanly, and it could at least be kept safe for a long time, unless something deliberately did something, this matter didn't need Roland to worry about, and if he was still alive, it meant that it had been taken care of over there.
Roland didn't say more because Nia had been exposed to supernatural events, but just picked up some medieval legends and stories in the world of the Dark Tower to change the topic, this dinner can be described as a pleasure for the guest of honor, the only regret is that Roland still can't say anything about letting Jimmy accompany him back on this occasion, this kind of thing must not be told to Nia.
Jimmy and Nia pushed the wheelchair together to send Roland back to the hotel, and then returned home, but the topic of the two always revolved around Roland, Nia was surprised by Roland's age, it looks like he is already 6.70 years old, and he is injured, he is still in good spirits, and he is very talkative, it is not easy, the key is his relationship with Jimmy, people with such an age difference can still talk about it, it is not easy.
Of course, this leads to another question that was not asked just now, what about Roland's family? After the injury, only Jimmy took care of him, it didn't seem normal to look at it, she had known Jimmy for so many years, except for knowing the existence of Roland when she watched the video, it seemed that she had never seen Jimmy go to see Roland, nor did she talk about him.
Jimmy didn't know how to tell Nya about this, he could only say that he didn't know either, but his attitude of asking questions and not knowing made Nya more suspicious, how could Jimmy not know about his situation at all for such an important person? You must know that Jimmy is a fairly senior FBI agent, as long as he is familiar with it, he must have checked it.
Jimmy didn't know how many questions she had in her mind, but her own performance at night was definitely not good enough, so she waited for Nia to go to work the next morning and immediately went to the hotel room where Roland was.
Some things still have to be made clear in person, but Jimmy didn't tell Roland all his previous experiences, after all, things are more troublesome, and he just confessed his current identity to Roland.
Roland is also from another world, and he has not revealed his identity after staying on Earth for a long time, and of course there is no surprise that Jimmy hid his previous identity, but he does despise the FBI, and Jimmy used Little Rock's fake identity to not be investigated by them, and the background check is really bad.
The two of them couldn't stay in the room all the time, so Jimmy pushed Roland out the door, and after a little turn outside, he came to Jimmy's apartment.
Coming to Jimmy's study, Jimmy opened the safe, took out a revolver from it and put it on the table, and then took out his two revolvers from his holster and put them together, "Roland, I want you to take a look at this." ”
Roland frowned and picked up the pistol, flipping through it.
The gun was found by Jimmy when he went to Texas to work on a case, and when an accident occurred in a small village, Jimmy and the people of the church worked together to kill a Twilight Beast and find it in its lair.
Jimmy took advantage of Roland's inspection of the gun to tell him how he found it, especially the Twilight Shadowmon, which had appeared decades ago, disappeared for a while, and now reappeared, in the words of their natives, every 3 or 40 years, which was very different.
In fact, when he discovered the gun, Jimmy suspected that Twilight was not a native monster of Earth, and that it was clearly from the Dark Tower world or some other world.
Jimmy: "So, Roland, I'd like to ask, have you ever traveled through multiple worlds before?" ”
Roland nodded: "There were not many of us before, but I am not familiar with their previous experience, and I can't tell whose it is from this gun for the time being, but there is no doubt that it is our people." ”
Jimmy: "So, Twilight killed him?" ”
Roland shook his head: "Maybe it wasn't killed by it, but there's no doubt that it brought this gun." Only one handful? ”
Jimmy nodded, "The church people only found this one when they were cleaning the nest, and no one informed me of any other discoveries after that. By the way, have you ever seen this before? ”
Roland: "Vampires?" There are too many types of monsters, and I don't know all of them, but it can't be ruled out that this kind of monster will travel through the world to come here, but it only appears every few decades, and obviously this guy hasn't been here all the time. ”
Jimmy: "Well, that lair doesn't look like a monster has survived for decades, if it's really a few decades old, there might be more Twilight Beasts there, but in fact we only found one, it's very likely that it just came here by accident, and it doesn't have the ability to reproduce, except for killing people and sucking blood, it doesn't find anything like Twilightmon, and there are no similar cases around, so it's just good luck." ”
Roland put the gun back on the table, "Keep this gun, I can't tell whose it is, but it doesn't make sense." Our world is already on the verge of dying, and maybe the Gunslinger doesn't need to be there anymore. It's just that more and more geological changes and more and more demons and monsters may not have anyone to deal with in the future. ”
Jimmy was speechless, why did he get involved in the disaster of the Dark Tower world again...... Taking the gun back to the safe and holster, Jimmy pushed Roland to the living room, opened the refrigerator and took out the beer to Roland, sat next to Roland and asked, "Roland, how are you going to return to your world after you come over this time?" ”
Roland took a sip of his beer and looked at Jimmy, "Go back the way you came, or go back through another door, New York is a good place, there is a door to go back to." ”
Jimmy was surprised and asked, "In New York?" Where? ”
Roland: "In Brooklyn, in the basement of an abandoned house, it's a fixed door, I don't know when it was built, but as long as you have enough energy, you can go straight to my world. ”
Jimmy was stunned, he originally thought that Roland was going back and forth between the two worlds through the spatial rift, but he didn't expect that there was a fixed door here, and no one else found out about such an obvious act of crossing the world? "You mean the fixed door? Can it be valid all the time? ”
Roland: "Doors have always existed, but it takes energy to open them, and you need to locate the coordinates of the world. ”
Seeing that Jimmy was still a little confused, Roland further explained: "This kind of door to travel to and from various worlds is not built now, it used to be very powerful in the early days of the Dark Tower world, but it is impossible to verify when the fixed portal was created, and the method of making it has disappeared in the long river of history, and only a few doors still exist, and they are not random to find." ”
Jimmy: "Does that mean you can travel back and forth between the two worlds whenever you find the door?" ”
Roland: "No, the operation of the door requires a lot of energy, and it is not that easy. ”
Jimmy: "Since you've been around for so long, have there been many people who have traveled to the world of the Dark Tower?" Or from there to Earth? ”
Roland stopped talking, but remembered what happened when he first arrived on Earth, when the Man in Black commanded many subordinates to come to Earth to look for him and Jack, and indeed many people crossed over, and the door seemed to be made by the Man in Black at that time, maybe they had a way to make a door? Of course, there is no need to think about this anymore, the man in black is dead, and his lair has exploded.
Jimmy saw that Roland didn't speak, and didn't continue to follow the previous question, but changed the subject: "Roland, then why don't you go back to New York with the previous door?" ”
Roland sighed: "I'm too far away, I've been wandering around for a while since I got back there, and by the time I wanted to come back to you, I had lost the location of the previous door. ”
Jimmy was speechless, "Is it only possible to go back and forth through certain doors?" Or are there so few doors that you don't know where to be, except for the one you know? ”
Roland was silent for a while and nodded: "The number of doors is indeed very small. ”
Jimmy looked at Roland, he was still a while away from recovering from his leg injury, and he shouldn't be returning to that world for the time being, "Can I take a look at that door?" ”
Roland: "Do you want to go back with me?" ”
Jimmy: "No, I just wanted to know more. Roland, here is my home, my life, my everything......"
Roland was silent again, and after a while he said, "Now is not the time, I'll take you there when I leave." ”
Jimmy nodded, and a question suddenly came to mind: "Wait, I have a serious problem in mind, Roland, that door you said was in the basement of an abandoned house, right?" ”
Roland nodded, looking at Jimmy suspiciously, and Jimmy continued, "So is it possible that the place was occupied or demolished and rebuilt?" Will it affect that door? ”
Roland frowned, thought for a while and said, "Probably not, it hasn't changed there for more than twenty years, at least it was still the same when I left before." ”
Jimmy: "Not necessarily, New York has grown very rapidly over the years, and there are many places in Brooklyn that have been demolished and rebuilt into commercial real estate, and many places have been renovated...... If something goes wrong, will you not be able to go back? ”
Roland's expression is also very solemn, if this door is gone, Jimmy will not be able to go back with him, you must know that the next time he finds a suitable rift to go back and forth, he doesn't know when it will be, he doesn't want Jimmy to become a one-way trip after he passes, so far he will die in the dark tower world, just hope that after he goes back with himself, let those mages confirm whether the black rainbow can stabilize the world's magical energy.
Jimmy looked at Roland's expression and knew that he hadn't thought about this problem before, maybe because the abandoned house that had not changed for decades before subconsciously thought that nothing would change there, but in the current period of urban development, a place like New York where every inch of land is valuable, even if it has been abandoned for a long time, still has development value.
It's timed for tomorrow.,My fault.,I just found out that there was no update before I reacted.。 By the way, I'm going on a business trip to the south tomorrow, so try to update it.
