Julia's investigation needed some time, but gathering information on Will Scott was indeed troublesome due to limited data, only a name and photo. The system had too many people with the same name, so Julia directly contacted VA under the FBI's name and sent over an enlarged scanned photo of Will Scott by fax.

While waiting for feedback from VA, Julia contacted the technical department to retrieve street surveillance near the Eagle Bar, while she returned to investigate Joseph's previous surveillance footage. Now that they knew the contact's appearance, they wanted to see if this Will had appeared in earlier surveillance videos.

These investigations were very tedious tasks, similar to what Jimmy used to do, except at that time he had fewer resources and couldn't summon a support team, so he painstakingly watched the videos bit by bit. Now with subordinates, Jimmy was finally liberated.

VA's cooperation speed was decent. By the next morning, they had already found the data and contacted Julia, and the office fax machine started to buzz, delivering a document faxed over.

Julia glanced at it and immediately called Jimmy, "Yang, VA has sent over Will's information. When will you be back?"

Jimmy: "Any other whereabouts found?"

Julia: "No discoveries for now. There is no one resembling Will in Joseph's surveillance footage. The technical department hasn't yet provided results for the surveillance investigation near the bar."

Jimmy: "OK, give me the address. You also come out and meet me, let's check out his residence."

Julia: "Alright."

Julia packed some things and left with Will's information.

Jimmy was not in the office; he took advantage of the lack of clues to spend some time at the church.

Father Rodney from the church had called him earlier, but since the investigation was at a crucial point, he had to forgo the chance to observe. Now, with time, he went over to chat with Father Rodney, at least to learn what had happened in that apartment.

He had previously reported an anomaly in an apartment building in the Bronx District. However, the church's exorcism priest was not present at the time, so it was delayed. Not all priests can perform exorcisms, only those specially trained and long practiced in it. Ordinary priests just expand the congregation.

They had already visited two days ago, asking residents to temporarily leave in the name of the Church. A large-scale exorcism ceremony was held, with three priests working together to eliminate the unformed evil spirit and its domain from the building.

After the exorcism ceremony, they also performed a purification ceremony for the people in a few contaminated rooms, thus solving the problem of the evil spirit's resurgence in that apartment.

Based on exorcism records from twenty years ago and this exorcism ceremony's situation, they surmised that during the last ceremony, the evil spirits weren't fully eradicated, and there were oversights. After twenty years of development, it had reappeared. If it had been delayed further, the previous tragedy might have recurred.

Of course, their main reasoning was still to develop followers. In fact, after this exorcism and purification ceremony, almost everyone in the building promised to visit the church this weekend. How many new followers they could develop would depend on their persuasion skills.

Jimmy only knew about this after talking to Father Rodney at the church. They had sent a priest on site to ensure that the anomaly wouldn't reappear after the operation, investing heavily in the effort.

Father Rodney was very interested in Jimmy. As an ordinary person, he had managed to observe such anomalies under specific conditions without any training, which was quite rare.

In addition to his status and Father Dallas Horton performing exorcism on him, it was confirmed that Jimmy was at least very reliable for now and also a believer. If cultivated from a young age, he would undoubtedly be the perfect exorcism priest candidate.

When talking about his previous exorcism experience with Father Horton, Jimmy took out the cross pendant Father Horton gave him, requesting Father Rodney to have a look. He never felt any special powers from the cross.

Father Rodney scrutinized the cross in his hand, "Did Father Horton tell you the origin of this cross?"

Jimmy: "He did. He said it was his personal cross from seminary, given to me as a gift."

Father Rodney nodded, "Indeed, there's still a faint power in it, but it appears to have been depleted many times. It might soon turn into a regular cross. Do you need assistance? I can re-baptize it, maybe extend its useful life."

Jimmy asked excitedly, "Really? Thank you so much, Father."

Father Rodney took out his pocket Bible, placing the cross inside and clasping it with one hand, "OK, pick it up in a few days. Be sure to steer clear of any anomalies in the coming days. When in the Bronx before, you only caught a trace of the evil spirit's aura, probably because it was protecting you. Otherwise, you might have been more heavily tainted."

Jimmy thanked Father Rodney and left the church. Just as he returned to his car, he received a call from Julia. It was the perfect time to set off.
