790 Sudden Accidents
After the baptism, when the others left, Jimmy deliberately stayed for a while and chatted with Father Rodney, the cross necklace he gave was definitely useful, but Jimmy had to ask clearly, you must know that the child is still young, it is impossible to wear the necklace, fortunately, this thing only got their purification baptism, and there are protective runes on it, which can provide the little one with a certain ability to resist evil, and he is not in a hurry to let him wear it.
It's good that little Liam has just gotten his first magic equipment just after the full moon, and he can be regarded as winning at the starting line.
When Jimmy left the church and returned home with Nia and Liam, it wasn't long before Roland arrived.
In the basement, Roland looked at Jimmy with a solemn face and asked, "Is the priest of that church an acquaintance of yours?" ”
Jimmy nodded: "We've known each other for a long time, and I've worked with him in the previous exorcisms, what's wrong?" ”
Roland: "I was feeling something strange in the church just now, he seems to have some ill intentions towards little Liam and has been staring at him. ”
Jimmy frowned, "Are you sure?" Is it malicious? ”
Roland: "I don't know, I just feel that something is wrong." Tell me, who the hell is he? ”
Jimmy: "Father Rodney was my previous church contact. ”
Jimmy didn't hide it from Roland, after all, Roland is a professional in dealing with supernatural cases, he has fought with those messy monsters all his life, and he must have some special abilities that can perceive something, and he may not be aware of it at all because he is too familiar.
From his special ability to see resentful spirits, to cooperating with the people of the church to deal with some supernatural cases later, to the special concern shown by the church after Nia became pregnant, he also told Roland about his guess, the point is that the church covets the characteristics of the holy light energy, and it is likely that his children will inherit the same physique.
There are so many things that a child who can receive the energy of the Light, who has been nurtured by the Church for many years, and for Father Wright, this is a hope.
Roland glanced up at the ceiling of the basement and sighed, "The black rainbow you used up shouldn't be inherited, but your shining ability is possible, and people like you are also very rare in our world, if you are in a gathering point, you will become their important advisor, known as a psychic." ”
Jimmy: "Do you have people like that in every gathering place over there?" ”
Roland shook his head: "Impossible, there may be many people who show their Shining ability, but those who can become psychics are those with powerful abilities, and even if ordinary people have them, their abilities are not enough." ”
Jimmy breathed a sigh of relief, "That's fine, if Liam doesn't even have the ability to shine when he grows up, then the church will naturally give up on him, and then he can live a normal life." ”
Roland: "Well, the Shining ability generally begins to show in underage children, and if you don't have special abilities by adulthood, then you shouldn't have the Shining ability." ”
Jimmy: "So the Father Rodney you observed staring at Liam is probably because they've been watching him and not trying to distract him, so I think it's okay." ”
Roland nodded: "By the way, I want to go back after a while, but it's best to bring a generator back, the generator on my side is left in the ancient ruins, if something goes wrong, I can't fix it, and try to see if we can start it directly, if you can, it will be more convenient in the future." ”
Jimmy: "I'll bring you some cash, you can do it yourself." ”
Roland: "It's normal now, Jimmy, I want to ......"
Jimmy immediately interrupted: "No, Liam is too young for me to leave him, he needs me." ”
Roland: "It won't take too much time, I'll ask the mage to come and check in advance." ”
Jimmy: "Roland, now is not the time, give me some time......"
Roland sighed and nodded, "I see." You go up, I'll clean up here. ”
Jimmy reached out and patted Roland's arm, "Thank you." With that, he turned and walked up the stairs.
Roland watched as Jimmy left the basement and sat directly on the box next to him.
Jimmy's tough attitude is something that Roland doesn't want to see, but he can't blame Jimmy, because his reasons are really strong, for the sake of little Liam, which makes Roland unable to even open a reason to continue persuading.
The Dark Tower World is not safe, and it may not be a big threat to Roland, but for Jimmy or others, living in the Dark Tower World for a long time can be a very big challenge, and the slightest carelessness may sleep there forever.
Jimmy was reluctant to go with him to the Dark Tower world, and the direct effect was that his previous guess could not be confirmed, but no matter what, he himself had to go back and stay for a while, because he had also used a Merlin rainbow, and if he left for a long time, it might also affect the energy balance of the world, maybe it would be faster to let those mages verify himself first.
However, it is still difficult to find a mage in this world who can cooperate with his verification, they are not fixed in one place, and it takes too much luck.
Maybe it would be a good idea to find the right person and then let Jimmy go there, which would save a lot of time, and if Jimmy traveled through the past in a short time, he might or may not have said yes.
Roland got up and patted the dust on his pants, cleaned up the cover in front of the portal, and quickly left the basement, he didn't go upstairs to communicate with Jimmy again, but left the house and returned to his temporary apartment.
Upstairs in the bedroom, Jimmy came to the nursery, little Liam was already asleep, Nia put him back in the crib to rest, and went back to the bedroom by herself.
Jimmy squatted down and looked at little Liam, with a smile on his face, took out the cross necklace given by Father Rodney from his pocket, looked at it and wrapped it directly around the corner of the crib, hanging the cross in the crib, whether this necklace is useful or not has no effect for the time being, but at least it should not hurt.
Back in the bedroom, Nia was standing by the window, and Jimmy walked over and hugged her from behind: "What are you thinking?" ”
Nia raised her head slightly, and pointed at Roland, who had just left their house, with her chin: "Roland, did he go to church today?" ”
Jimmy: "Well, he went back and forth on his own, not with anyone else. ”
Nia: "What are you talking about?" Always sneaky, seems to be planning something? ”
Jimmy put his head on Nia's shoulders and sniffed against her hair, the smell of shampoo was very light, but Nia had a strong milky scent, which basically covered the smell of makeup, "Nothing, just he wants to go back." ”
Nia turned her head and kissed Jimmy, "What about you?" ”
Jimmy stopped, "What's wrong with me?" It's okay. ”
Nia: "Didn't he want to invite you to his world?" I've seen you talk quietly a lot of times, so it looks like it's not just him going back, right? ”
Nia is not stupid, it's just that she was all about little Liam before, and many things were subconsciously ignored, and now even if she thinks about it a little, she understands that there must be other things hidden from Jimmy and Roland, and the biggest possibility is related to Jimmy.
Jimmy shook his head: "It's okay, don't worry, I won't pass, at least not until little Liam grows up." ”
Nia nodded, and was about to speak when she suddenly heard a voice from Liam's side and immediately ran over, "Oh, my little one, Jimmy, get me a diaper." ”
Jimmy was about to sit down, but he had to turn around and walk to the nursery, where Nia had already gone to adjust the water and was ready to wash the little one's butt.
Anyone who has ever had a child should have a deep understanding that some smells are really too strong, so this is certainly not an easy thing, but fortunately, the exhaust equipment is more powerful and will not accumulate in the room for a long time.

Roland's side was still prepared quickly, thanks to the untraceable funds provided by Jimmy, the purchased generators and batteries and other things were quickly delivered to the designated warehouse, and then Roland himself drove to Jimmy's house, and he and Jimmy moved to the basement one by one, all piled aside.
Jimmy's basement is now a doomsday survival fortress, with a cache of food and water, as well as a pile of compressed dry food and canned products that can be stored for a long time.
If you change countries, maybe such a large purchase behavior seems very strange, but in the United States, a place full of apocalyptic survival weirdos, these purchases seem to be normal, after all, these things are civilian food, not large-scale procurement of weapons.
In fact, there are still some hidden dangers, after all, Jimmy's basement looks quite big, but the things purchased by Roland are basically transported to the opposite side, if someone tracks down, they will find that the number of many goods is completely wrong, but who will check Jimmy, even if the electricity consumption in his house is abnormal, no one will suspect him of planting leaves at home or something, after all, Jimmy and Nia's identities are really sensitive, plus they just had a child......
If someone really wants to investigate them, it will be fun, maybe Jimmy doesn't need to make a move at all, and the other party will be directly crushed by the FBI New York office and the NYPD.
The generator on the opposite side is not running all the time, Roland can only bring some things with him to pass over first, and after finding the ruins, he can start the generator to drive the portal to connect with the portal in Jimmy's basement, and then he can use a small cart to send the materials stored here as soon as possible, so the whole process is very slow, and he can only rely on Roland himself to slowly adjust on the opposite side, and Jimmy's side is at most to cooperate with the handling, and there can be no big action, so as not to arouse the suspicion of Nia's side.
It's just that they are covering their ears and stealing the bell, they have sent supplies and equipment to the basement many times before and after, but not only Nia is paying attention, in fact, including the eyeliner of the church in the church, many people know that Jimmy began to purchase a lot of things after moving here, but it seems that these things are not too abnormal, just as the spare materials he has stored, and not too many people care about these things, once the back is exposed, maybe these people can associate a lot.
Of course, Nia also knew what they were doing, but Jimmy repeatedly assured her that it was all for Roland, and Nia also knew that Roland could return to his own world, so she stopped asking.
Roland, a person from another world, is the only person Nia knows, of course she is also curious, but now she is not in the mood to understand these things at all, and her mind is all on little Liam, so she didn't pull Roland to ask about his past, as long as she was sure that he was harmless to her family.
It is not an exaggeration to describe Roland's action of moving these materials as an ant move, until Jimmy's basement was basically emptied, this kind of large-scale moving behavior lasted for more than half a month before it was completely completed, and the price was that the oil he purchased before was close to drying up, and it was estimated that it would only be enough to activate the portal once or twice at most.
Asked Jimmy to help purchase some to put in the basement, Roland looked at Jimmy, turned around and entered the portal back to the Dark Tower world, turned off the portal controller, looked at the materials in front of him, Roland began to close the ruins, he wanted to go out to find the previous mage, after he left the Dark Tower world and went back and forth so many times, did the energy of this world fluctuate because of him.
These delicate tasks of perceiving the energy of the world are obviously not something that Roland can do by himself, and he can only rely on the judgment of others to determine the subsequent processing.
——
Little Liam is a few months old, the little guy is the heart of the family, Nia's mother comes to live for a few days almost every few days, after all, they are all in the same city, it is too close, and the little guy is also going back and forth between Nia and her mother most of the time, as long as he is awake, it is basically not Jimmy's turn to carry around.
It also gave Jimmy a lot of time to deal with his own affairs, after all, he was still technically an unlucky supernumerary student now, but he was lucky enough to graduate as long as he completed his credits in the second half of the year and got his thesis done.
The quiet year or two didn't take Jimmy out of the workplace, it only gave him more time to adjust between his family and his studies, and it also paved the way for his later promotion.
However, it was almost impossible for him to have smooth sailing, and while he was reading the materials to prepare the paper, the phone rang, and James's voice came from the receiver: "Jimmy, I need your help, Mary has an accident." ”
Jimmy was stunned for a moment and immediately asked, "What's wrong?" Where are you? ”
James: "I was at home, in Little Rock, and Mary was at a club event, and a few of the people with me were so mentally disturbed that she couldn't even remember who I was. (End of chapter)
