Roland does regret his previous behavior, mainly because he has been himself again after returning to the Dark Tower in the past few years, in that world, there are no modern laws and regulations, the strong are kings and there are too many life-threatening disasters, so he has become more accustomed to talking with guns.

I have lived on the earth with Jack for more than ten years, accompanied by Jack Chambers, he also learned the rules of the earth, plus the main activities are in various fields, and he has basically not dealt with the police many times, this is the first time he has been arrested in the police station, if it weren't for his inconvenience, maybe the police wouldn't have caught him at all, and he would have run away a long time ago.

The combination of various reasons has caused the current situation, Jimmy can climb so fast in the FBI, his brain must be very useful, he must be able to find out where Roland had an accident, plus the abandoned house that Roland said, the location of the teleportation point is also speculated.

However, it is not a big problem, the portal is not open all the time, and you need to enter the world number to activate the corresponding world teleportation function, and Jimmy must not know the number of the Dark Tower world.

But anyway, this place is exposed, and the next thing can only depend on Jimmy's choice, if he chooses to announce this door, then Roland will definitely not announce the coordinates even if he can only die of old age on Earth in the future.

After Jimmy contacted Father Rodney, the matter was put on hold for the time being, after all, Roland had already brought it back, and Nia had arranged for someone to deal with it, and she would definitely not leave a case record or anything like that, so it would not have any impact on Roland, and she didn't have to carry a wanted warrant.

The next morning, Jimmy came to the church and sat down on the pews for a while before seeing Father Rodney.

Of course, Rodney was already in the church, but seeing that the meeting time had passed, Jimmy hadn't contacted him yet, and thought that Jimmy had something to delay, and when he came out, he found that Jimmy was sitting on a bench with his head bowed and praying, and couldn't help but smile with relief, and didn't disturb Jimmy, just stood next to him and waited.

Jimmy raised his head and crossed his forehead, chest, and left and right shoulders with his right hand to end the prayer, and saw Father Rodney standing next to him get up and say hello: "Father Rodney, have you been waiting for a long time?" I'm sorry. ”

Father Rodney smiled and nodded, "I've just arrived, let's go in and talk." ”

Jimmy and Rodney are not complicated to talk about, Roland was really rude to the priest yesterday, fortunately it did not cause too serious consequences, Jimmy still hopes to apologize to the other party in person, as Roland's junior to apologize on behalf of Roland.

But after all, when it comes to a priest, having Father Rodney to help you contact can also avoid some embarrassing situations, and the other party with Rodney's introduction should also know that Jimmy is his own person, and he will give some face.

Father Rodney did not refuse, Jimmy's prayer in the church just now made Rodney's impression of Jimmy better, although it seems that Jimmy is not a devout believer, but at least now it seems that he is closer to the church, which will also be beneficial to them in the future.

With Rodney by his side, Jimmy met the upside-down priest at a church in Brooklyn, who seemed to be in good spirits, not too worried about his own safety because of yesterday's events, and not so anxious.

Rodney introduced Jimmy to Father Priest, and Jimmy shook hands with Father Priest, "Father Koch, it's a pleasure to meet you. Today I apologize to you for my elder Elba, and I am sorry that I ask the priest to forgive him. ”

Father Koch glanced at Father Rodney, who nodded, and he understood that Jimmy must be one of his own. Father Koch shook his head and said, "Thank you, Lord, that I am not hurt, and although his actions are dangerous, I forgive him and I will not pursue this matter." ”

Jimmy: "Thank you, Father Koch. Can I ask what happened? He's older, and something ...... It's not easy for me to get the details from him. ”

Father Koch nodded, gestured, and the three of them sat on the bench next to them, and Father Rodney sat next to Jimmy after Jimmy and Father Koch sat down, which also made Father Koch understand Jimmy's background better, obviously Rodney's willingness to stand up for Jimmy is very strong, and it is not just as simple as acquaintance.

Koch did not hide it, the location of his dispute with Roland was not far away, next to the park behind the church, there were no homeless people here before, but one of the believers had an accident before, and his family lost their only place to live for some reason and was forced to live on the streets, Father Koch was very familiar with the believer, and he didn't want his family to have an accident outside, so he remembered the nearby park.

The dilapidated house had existed for a long time, and no one had come forward to deal with it, and although it was dilapidated, it had at least a roof, so they stayed inside.

Koch only occasionally brought them something to eat, and he didn't go every day, and the church didn't provide free food every day.

Yesterday he was delivering food and leaving when he met Roland in a wheelchair, and Roland was surprised to see him come out of the house, so he asked the priest a few words, and then asked them to leave.

Of course, Father Koch did not take Roland's request as a threat, he just said that this is not your place, and their temporary residence in it will not affect the others, and before he could finish speaking, Roland had already pulled out his left wheel and pointed at Father Koch.

After that, the situation was very clear, Father Koch called the police immediately after leaving, and there were many patrols in New York, and Roland was pointed at by the police before he could leave, and he had to be taken back to the police station.

Jimmy patiently listened to Father Koch tell him about what happened yesterday, obviously the process that Father Koch said was much more detailed and reasonable than what Roland told him at the police station, and if it was just the gun exposed and seen by the priest, the priest would not have called the police.

When Father Koch had finished speaking, Jimmy sat quietly and thought for a while, then asked, "Can you take me to the place where you have a dispute?" ”

Father Koch nodded, and the three of them left the church and walked to the park behind the church.

Jimmy looked at the surroundings, this place is indeed very nice, the church in front, the park in the back, and the house is in the corner of the park, from the location it is obvious that this place should be with the park, but why didn't this house be disposed of? Whether it is rebuilt or demolished for other purposes, it is much better than a rotten house standing here, and if it were not for the remoteness of the place, it would be more of an eyesore.

Jimmy: "Father Koch, who does this house belong to?" ”

Fr. Koch: "This is the property of the Church, including this park, which was donated to the Church decades ago. ”

Jimmy nodded, and Father Koch took Jimmy and Father Rodney to the front of the house and confirmed for them the place where the conflict had happened yesterday, and the people inside the house also came out, these were two children who looked to be in their teens, and they were standing next to him after greeting Father Koch, obviously they were familiar.

Jimmy carefully observed the inside of the house with his mental eye, and made sure that there was no other person in it, and nothing else suspicious, and then asked, "Can I go in and have a look?" ”

Koch looked at the two children, then nodded to Jimmy, "Of course." ”

The house is already very dilapidated from the outside, this house is not completely wooden, the masonry foundation below is covered with moss, and the wooden house above has a lot of damage, because no one has maintained it, the walls and roof have a lot of plants and grass have emerged, except for a window that is nailed by wooden planks, the other parts are completely dilapidated, only a few glass remains, if it weren't for the relatively few natural disasters here in New York, this house should have collapsed a long time ago.

Jimmy entered through the doorway, and the inside of the house had been cleared of a passageway, and the rest of the house was still in its old dilapidated and dusty condition, and one room had been cleaned up, and there were a lot of household items on the floor and in the corner, apparently the two children lived in this room, and they did not tidy up the other rooms.

The house was raised to the ground, so there was a semi-basement under the first floor, except that the entrance to the semi-basement was in an uncleaned room, which they apparently didn't find.

Jimmy nodded to Father Koch, the few men left the house, and the two children returned to their rooms.

Although he did not enter the semi-basement to check, Jimmy had determined that this should be the location of the door Roland had mentioned, but whatever the reason, there must be some reason why the house has not been repaired for so many years, and this matter will have to be discussed with Father Koch.

Jimmy didn't ask questions on the spot, said goodbye to Father Koch and left the church, and on the way back to Manhattan with Father Rodney, Jimmy asked, "Thank you, Father Rodney." ”

Fr. Rodney: "You're welcome, it's just a small thing. ”

Jimmy: "Father Koch said that the park is church property, does the church have any other property in New York besides the church?" ”

Father Rodney turned his head to look at Jimmy: "Of course, there are many believers who will donate, and the church will also buy some real estate for the establishment of churches or other institutions, which is all public, is there any problem?" ”

Jimmy: "Oh no, I just didn't know about it before, and since the park and the house were church property, why hadn't that house been repaired and rebuilt?" I think the rest of the park seems to be pretty good. ”

Father Rodney shook his head, "I don't know, I'm not in charge of these things, but since they kept the house, there must be enough reason. You care a lot about it, why? ”

Jimmy: "No, it just feels weird, it's New York, after all, right?" ”

Fr. Rodney: "Well, that house is near the church, and it's not very pretty. ”

Jimmy nodded, and didn't ask any more, so as not to reveal his intentions, this time he confirmed the location with his own eyes, and he would talk to Roland when he got back.

Sending Father Rodney back to church, Jimmy went to the supermarket to buy half a dozen beers and went to Roland's room.

Jimmy: "Hey, Roland, I brought you a beer, would you like some?" ”

Roland moved his wheelchair to sit down next to the couch, Jimmy opened the beer and handed it to him, opened a bottle himself, touched it, and took a sip first, "I just went to Brooklyn and met the priest." ”

Roland looked at Jimmy with the bottle, "You found it?" ”

Jimmy nodded, "The house, it's near the church." ”

Roland sighed, "That's right, that's it. ”

Jimmy shrugged: "The good news is that the house is still there, and the bad news is that there are already people inside." So that door is still there, right? ”

Roland: "I didn't go in, but it looks like it's still there." ”

Jimmy: "What's next?" Are you going to go back from there? ”

Roland nodded, since the door was still there, there was no need for him to go back to the rift in Maine, but since there were people in the house, it would be difficult for him to leave there quietly, and if someone lived there, it was easy for accidents to happen, if the door was broken, it would be troublesome if they activated the door.

Roland: "What are you thinking about?" Would you like to come with me? The door is still there, just activate the door on the opposite side and you can still come back. ”

Jimmy shook his head, "Give me some more time, it's not that easy to decide." ”

Jimmy and Roland drank their wines and fell silent.

Jimmy's worries are always about his family and career, Roland is alone, no matter what he does, it won't affect anyone else, Jimmy can't, as long as he news for a while, it will definitely affect Nia and them.

Roland also understood Jimmy's concerns, but after all, he was from the world of the Dark Tower, and letting Jimmy go back with him was also the most he wanted to do during this time, as long as those mages were sure that the black rainbow he brought out had nothing to do with the loss of energy, Jimmy could return to Earth.

It's easier said than done, once they determine that the black rainbow is related to the loss of energy control, Jimmy's future life will inevitably be seriously disturbed, and if he stays in the dark tower world, everything he is here ......

Roland is also very entangled, the chips on both sides of the scale are not equal, no matter what, he must take Jimmy back first.

Jimmy finished a bottle of wine, put it in the trash, and got up to leave, but before leaving, he repeatedly told Roland not to harass the people in the house again, and when he was about to leave, Jimmy would find a way to get the people inside to avoid it for a while.

Roland watched Jimmy leave the room, the door closed, he took a sip of the beer from the bottle, and put the bottle on the table, "Boom".

Jimmy's words just now have already indicated his attitude, and when Roland is about to leave, Jimmy will find a way to transfer the people inside, obviously he does not plan to go back with Roland. (End of chapter)
