Chapter 791
Roland's wait was not long, and after a few hours, he heard a faint sound coming from the house, because the secret door was already in the storage room, and he could still hear the faint sound after many blockades.
However, I wasn't sure who was in the house, so I didn't knock on the door directly, but continued to wait for a while.
After a while, when he was sure that there should be only one person in the house, he pulled out his revolver and knocked on the secret door above with the handle of his gun, making some noise.
Nia is now pot-bellied and has limited mobility, but she is not completely at home, next to the park and the church, even if it is just to keep her body and mind happy, she will go out during the day, but she will not stay outside for too long, after all, this is Brooklyn, even if Kevin has mobilized information to determine the safety level of the surroundings, it still cannot ensure that it is safe.
Nia is not an ordinary citizen after all, and of course she knows that the best way to avoid danger is to go out less, especially since she is now limited in mobility, even if she has a gun with her.
When you get home, you have to find something to do for yourself, and increasing the amount of exercise appropriately will be much better for your body, and it will also be very helpful for your unborn child.
The sound of "knock knock" came, and Nia, who was tidying up the study, immediately turned her head to look at the window when she heard it, and then immediately realized that the sound was not coming from outside, she opened the drawer and took out the spare pistol inside to check it, and left the study and began to look for the source of the sound in the direction of the sound.
Coming to the outside of the storage room next to her, she put her ear on the storage room door, sure enough, the sound came from inside, there were only some things that were not used very well and the basement door, Nia opened the door to reveal a small gap, raised her gun and aimed a little to move, and only came to the location of the secret door after making sure that there was no one in the storage room.
In order to ensure the safety of the basement, Jimmy deliberately pressed a large box on top of the secret door, of course, across both sides of the secret door, the pressure is mainly borne by both sides, one side is covered, and it can also block the opening of the secret door from the inside, which is why Roland can't push it open.
Nia was sure that the sound was coming from the basement, someone was knocking on the secret door, she didn't move the box to open the door, but took two steps back to the outside of the storage room, took out her mobile phone and dialed Jimmy: "Jimmy, is it convenient for you to talk over there?" ”
"No problem, you say."
"It looks like there's someone knocking on the door in the basement, right now."
Jimmy was stunned for a moment, "You said the basement?" Wait, don't open the door, leave the house now and I'll be right back. ”
Nia: "Well, I'll go to the church and wait for you. ”
In the basement, Nia had checked with Jimmy before, and there was absolutely no one or other living creatures inside, and now the secret door was not opened, and there was something knocking on the door, no matter how you looked at it, it was not a good thing, so Nia didn't ask or open the door at the first time, and left the house with a gun, and after Nia put away the gun, she came to the outside of the church and looked at her house from a distance.
Jimmy didn't waste time, and immediately drove back, he had worried about this problem before, after all, this is a portal, and it can be transmitted from this side to the Dark Tower World, so naturally it is possible to teleport from the Dark Tower World to this side of something.
According to the things he talked to Roland before, there are many different types of monsters in the world of the Dark Tower, even if there is only a slight possibility, it may still affect Nia, an ordinary person, but there has been no problem here for decades, and Roland is not the first time to use this portal, so he has been paying attention to it during this time, but he has not returned to live in his previous apartment.
There was no elevator in that apartment, and it was not a problem for Nia to climb the stairs every day when she was pregnant, and the environment was really bad, no matter how you looked at it, this new small building was much stronger than that over there.
Jimmy parked the car outside the church and entered the church to find Nia, they had been living here for a few months, the people in the church had long been acquaintances, and no one would say anything while Nia stayed here.
"Are you alright?" Jimmy came up to Nia and examined her to make sure she was okay.
"It's okay, let's go over now?" Nia didn't stop Jimmy from checking either, and he wouldn't be relieved if he didn't let him check it himself.
Jimmy also observed with his heart and eye, and did not find any abnormalities around Nia, so he was relieved, "No, you stay here, I will go by myself, you have my mobile phone, if you find anything abnormal, contact Father Rodney immediately." Got it? ”
Nia frowned and asked, "Why did you contact him?" Do you want to call a few cops first? ”
Jimmy shook his head: "No, if there is a real accident, ordinary people can't solve it." It's just a backup, and in fact if I can't fix it, the others will choke enough. Listen to me, don't come closer, wait for me to inform. ”
Jimmy took Nia's phone and put it in his pocket, patted her lightly, and then left the church and walked to his house.
There was a noise in the basement that must have come from the portal, most likely Roland had returned, and a little bit it could have been something else, so Jimmy didn't let his guard down, and activated his mind-eye vision to observe the room and the basement as he approached the house.
When he saw a person sitting on the stairs in the basement, he understood that it should be Roland who had come back from the opposite side, and if it was some other mess, he would have made a fuss in the basement at this time.
Jimmy checked the inside of the house by the way, and found nothing unusual, but there are always defects in the heart-eye vision, so you still have to check it yourself.
Roland was still very depressed in the basement, and when he heard that there was someone in the house, he knocked on the secret door for a long time, but the people in the house actually left, and he couldn't hear any other sound at all, so he could only continue to sit on the stairs and wait.
Finally he heard the voice again, and Jimmy shouted from above, "Who's down there?" ”
Roland turned his head to look at the secret door: "It's me, Roland." ”
Jimmy: "You're alone? ”
Roland: "Yes, Jimmy, open the door. ”
Jimmy: "Wait, I'll move things around here." ”
Jimmy removed the box on the secret door, grabbed the pull tab and lifted the secret door upward, pushing it aside, and Roland walked out of it, accompanied by the smell of not taking a bath for a long time, Jimmy immediately took two steps back.
Jimmy smiled and said, "How long have you been in the wild?" Let's go take a shower first, and I'll talk about it later. ”
Roland lowered his head and sniffed, "I haven't taken a shower for a month or two, okay." ”
Jimmy: "Wait, I'll take a look down there, safety first." ”
The lights in the basement were on, and Jimmy stood on the stairs and looked around, except for the mess that had been placed on the side of the portal, everything else was fine, and then he left the basement, closed the secret door and took Roland to the bathroom.
Roland only had a bag with him, but it was estimated that the clothes inside had not been changed for a long time, so Jimmy directly took a set of clothes that he had not worn and put them outside the bathroom for Roland, and took an unused bath towel from the cabinet under the sink and sent it to the bathroom, so that she could rest assured.
Nyoa was relieved when she learned that there was no danger, but Roland was also relieved when she came back, and she didn't wait any longer, she left the church and went home, Jimmy was waiting for Nya to come over at the door and told her that Roland was taking a shower in the bathroom, and the two waited for Roland to come out in the living room, and made a pot of coffee by the way.
Roland hadn't taken a shower for a long time, so he simply filled the bathtub, took a shower and then soaked himself in the bathtub.
There is no such enjoyment in the dark tower world, where the so-called bathing is nothing more than finding a small river to clean up briefly, or finding a pool to soak in, which is completely different from hot water and bathtub, and then get up and leave the bathtub.
He was so soaked that Jimmy had been waiting outside for a bit of a long time, and if it weren't for knowing that he was okay inside, Jimmy would have wanted to knock on the door.
"Hey, Nia, are you okay with the baby?" Roland changed into Jimmy's clothes and came to the living room, he was about the same height as Jimmy, but more muscular, so Jimmy's well-fitting clothes looked a little tighter on him, but much better than his original clothes, at least they didn't smell.
After greeting Nia, Roland took his bag to the couch and took out a necklace of beast teeth from it, "I did it myself, I hope you will like it." ”
Nia smiled and thanked her, took the necklace and looked through it in her hand, the necklace was made of brown rope, it looked like it should be braided hemp rope, and there were more than a dozen long teeth underneath, it didn't look like an animal, because there were big and small.
Jimmy asked, "What animal's teeth?" ”
Roland: "Wolves and bears are the harvest of this time, rest assured, very safe." ”
Jimmy nodded and said to Nia, "Put it away first, go back and do the disinfection and sterilization treatment before taking it out." ”
He asked Nia to leave and put down the necklace first, and then looked at Roland, "These are all right, right?" The animals of your world really don't have to get their hands on anything. ”
Roland: "It's okay to deal with it, it's just ordinary animals, they're just food." ”
Jimmy nodded, it's just an ordinary animal, although wolves and bears are not easy to deal with, but for people like Roland, it is really no different from domestic animals such as pigs, cows and sheep, the only difference is that the taste may not be so good, and there are more messy bacteria.
Roland's physical fitness is really strong, which Jimmy also has to admit, you must know that the previous penetrating injury on the calf Roland only took less than half the time of ordinary people to recover, if it is not for special physical fitness, it is impossible, medical development to the present, the recovery time assessment of various injuries is basically very accurate, maybe a few days short, but it is absolutely impossible to be one or two months worse.
Jimmy: "Did you find it?" This time I came back so accurately to the basement. ”
Roland nodded and didn't say anything, Nia had already walked back and took the coffee pot from the kitchen, "Do you need to add sugar?" ”
Roland: "I'll do it myself, thank you." ”
Jimmy drinks sugar-free American, and Roland directly adds two small packets of powdered sugar, supplementing sugar is still very important to him, even if he has come to Earth, if he has the opportunity, he still has to give priority to replenishing his physical strength.
Nia looked at Jimmy and blinked, tilted her head slightly towards Roland, and Jimmy said helplessly: "Roland, last time you left, Nia happened to see ...... on the stairs"
Roland looked at Jimmy in surprise, then turned to look at Nia, "You know?" ”
Nia: "Well, it was just an accident, I just saw you enter that door. Jimmy says you're a protector from another world......"
Roland looked at Jimmy, frowned, and asked, "What did you say?" ”
Jimmy: "You're a protector, not a mage, and you're going back and forth between the two worlds to keep the world safe and hunt demons and stuff like that, and nothing else." ”
Roland nodded, and he looked at Nia, "I'm the Gunslinger, the protector of the Dark Tower. Nia, the world is not safe, please keep this secret for me, please. ”
Nia nodded, Jimmy had kept Nia a secret before, and she had never said it to anyone, "So, our basement is your gateway between the two worlds?" ”
Roland nodded, "I'll talk about that later, I need some time to think about it." He looked at Jimmy, "Is your house still there?" I think I'll probably need to stay there for a few more days. ”
Jimmy: "Of course, I've always kept it over there. You can go on and stay, I just checked it out the other day. ”
Roland nodded, got up to leave, Jimmy took a backpack and loaded Roland with his clothes, and then accompanied Roland out of the house, Nia waved goodbye at the door.
Jimmy started the car and left, and Roland said to Jimmy: "I found a portal, and it has been determined, and the two portals can be opened in combination, point-to-point, and safely between the two worlds." Jimmy, do you want to go back with me? ”
Jimmy said as he drove, "Now is not the time, Nia has more than a month to give birth, Roland, I don't want to leave her now, not even for a day." ”
Roland nodded, "Okay, then wait a little longer." But I think maybe I'll need to prepare something to bring over, the portal over there needs energy, and I don't know how long it will last. ”
Jimmy: "Do you use the same electricity as here?" I've checked the controller of the portal in the basement, and it looks like it's supposed to be powered by wires, but I haven't removed the wall yet. ”
Roland: "Don't move here, if something goes wrong I won't fix it, we do use a generator to power the electricity over there, but I don't know what the oil is, maybe I can bring some oil here to try it during this time." ”
Jimmy: "Whatever it is, I can try it if I can get it, but no matter what, I'm going to wait for Nia's ......"
