Jimmy asked to go back to Tata Town. The reason was actually very simple: the box dug out of the ground.
After Father Horton's exorcism, Jimmy already knew that big guys like Lambert were very aware of the supernatural events in this world and there was no need to hide anything.
Although Jimmy did not explain, Lambert asked to return to Tata Town when Jimmy woke up, knowing that there must be something very important to do here.
At the police station, Lambert called Jimmy outside. In the corner of the parking lot, Lambert asked Jimmy why he came back to get the box.
Jimmy: "I found that box with my special powers. You know I can see things that other people can't see, and that box is like that.
When I was investigating the disappearance case, I found something wrong with the tree. After digging around, I dug out this box. After the box left the tree, the tree became very ordinary, so this box was the source of the strangeness. "
Jimmy looked around and saw that no one was eavesdropping: "Although I don't know the use of the things in this box, they are indeed the source of abnormal events. It would be a waste to leave them at the police station for analysis. Our FBI There are more resources and a better chance of finding the problem.”
Lambert thought for a moment: "I understand, you don't have to worry about this matter."
Jimmy nodded, and the two of them walked towards the police station building. Jimmy said, "By the way, the resentful spirits in the river have been eliminated. Do we need to clean up the bottom of the river?"
Lambert: "Well, Father Horton has said before, I will contact other people to handle it."
Jimmy: "Can I join in? I want to see what's in the river."
Lambert: "Okay, you can stay for one more day."
Jimmy: "Speaking of Father Horton, can you introduce me to him? I want to know how I fainted in the end."
Lambert shook his head: "Since he didn't say it, he just didn't want to say it. We only have an occasional cooperation relationship."
They walked into the police station building, Lambert went to find Chad, Jimmy said hello to Sam, sat down and began to think about what happened before.
Jimmy was already in the hospital when he woke up. He didn't know what Father Horton had done to him, but he remembered clearly the painful feeling before he fell into coma.
I learned the word heartbreaking when I was very young, but this was also the first time I had this personal experience. When I was exorcised by Father Horton, the feeling was so uncomfortable that I felt like I was going to die. Looking back now Come here, why would Holden attack him? If he had malicious intentions, how could he be alive? For a comatose person, there were too many ways to kill him.
As a priest, Holden should have performed an exorcism ritual on himself. Does that mean that his body has the power left by demons or ghosts? Jimmy activated his inner eye, and there was no problem with his ability. He could still use it. He picked up the pistol, and his ballistic guidance ability was still there. So what disappeared from his body during the exorcism ceremony?
Jimmy couldn't help but think of the predecessor of this body. Jimmy always thought that he had completely controlled this body and that the soul of the predecessor had disappeared. But from this exorcism, it seemed that either the predecessor had been hidden in the body, or the predecessor had been there before. Infected with the power of demons or wraiths, the disappearance of the predecessor's soul did not cause these powers to disappear.
Judging from the more than two years since I came to this world, I am sure that I have not come into contact with any demons or ghosts. It is unlikely that I brought it, that is, the power I brought with me before.
Roland once said that Jimmy's heart is full of hatred. Looking forward, Jimmy and his father encountered a demon invasion in Death Valley. Could it be that the contact at that time left behind this kind of power? For some reasons, it has never been It was revealed until Jimmy and Roland went to Big Bend National Park to kill demons, thus making Roland sure that Jimmy could not accept the title of gunslinger?
This kind of power should have been integrated with the body. If it was just a contamination, theoretically it should not cause me so much pain. I had seen an exorcism in a church before. Although the man lying on the bed was in pain, looking back now, he suffered The pain is definitely much less than my own.
This time it was really a blessing in disguise. When dealing with disappearance cases, there were supernatural events. When Cha called Lambert to deal with him, he was able to attract a strong support. Not only did he deal with the resentful spirit of Red River, but also let I was purified.
Another point is that the mind's eye ability is indeed brought by one's own soul, and it should have nothing to do with the predecessor. This exorcism did not cause any damage to the mind's eye ability, which means that this ability at least does not conflict with the power of religious belief, and this discovery The supernatural event further improved his mental ability, allowing him to see more microscopic things, and strengthened his shooting ability.
This enhancement is very obvious. Jimmy can't forget his shooting skills to kill the white dots that appear on the body of the wraith. He just stares at the fast-moving white dots and shoots without taking into account the ballistic guidance that appeared before. The hit rate is so high. . Judging from this performance, Jimmy's marksmanship has begun to change from active aiming to consciousness-driven. I just don't know if this ability only takes effect under special circumstances. I should be able to determine it when I have time to practice more later.
After a day's rest, the FBI led the River Management Bureau and cooperated with the county police and Tata Town Police Department to conduct a round of diving exploration and river bottom cleaning at the corner of the Red River. It must be said that the river bottom arranged by Horton The bottom cleaning was really the right thing to do, and it saved Jimmy a lot of work.
After the divers located the location, they used salvage equipment to fish out a total of five rotten or partially rotten corpses and two skeletons from the bottom of the river. One of the skeletons was missing a skull.
Autopsies and DNA comparisons were conducted on 5 corpses. All 4 missing people were found, and only one corpse was still in an unidentifiable state. This also confirmed Jimmy's previous judgment that there was no way to write a report on these missing cases because they were not human. made.
The skeleton of the missing skull was also compared with the skull in the box that Jimmy dug out from under the tree, and it was confirmed that they were consistent. The rest was nothing to do with anyone else. All physical evidence was handed over to the FBI for preservation, and Jimmy followed up until the end. It took more than a week to finally complete the four disappearance cases that Lambert assigned to him.
The case report has no process, only the result, and was archived directly with Lambert's permission.
After being on a business trip for more than a week, Jimmy returned to the hotel next to his Dallas office and could take a good rest for a few days.
(I admit that this one is a bit long-winded, but it is part of my original plan, the purification phase, to prepare for the future, so I will be more long-winded and explain clearly the causes and consequences above. As for the steps after purification, they will be arranged in It will be released slowly later, so please read it carefully.)
