Jimmy also stood up, "Teach me, what should I do?"

Kevin: "Time, you are not at a point where you need to hurry to train your successor. You are still young and have enough time to assess them. Resources are limited; we can't train everyone."

Jimmy: "This might take a long time, and there's no guarantee we'll find suitable people."

Kevin: "But you have plenty of time. They've just joined your team; wait until they're more familiar and decisive before considering training. Look at the night view outside, Manhattan's night view hasn't changed much in a long time."

Jimmy looked out the window; in the heart of this New York city, an endless array of twinkling lights created a magnificent tapestry. Towering skyscrapers in various shapes and sizes stood against the city's skyline, highlighting the allure of a modern metropolis.

The myriad of lights shone brightly, and everywhere he looked, neon signs flickered. The streets were busy with traffic, and pedestrians hurriedly moved towards their destinations.

Manhattan nights are so bustling, beautiful, and inspiring, as if narrating the vitality and charm of this city.

Jimmy had been in Manhattan for several years, but he rarely paid attention to the night view of Manhattan.

Kevin: "New York is a busy city; anyone can appear in front of you and leave you in an instant. No one can be sure of their future path, so if you truly believe someone is worth your effort to train, then use all available resources to raise their position, to become your successor.

But who is reliable? Only time can tell."

Jimmy: "I understand, I'll arrange it properly."

Kevin: "The case is over, keep some nights free in the coming days; it's a good time to attend some gatherings."

Jimmy nodded, drank the rest of his drink: "I understand, I'll wait for your arrangement."

Jimmy's sudden idea was extinguished by Kevin this way. Mark and Julia are currently doing well, but whether they can truly be counted on will take some time to judge. Jimmy was far from familiar with them, only knowing their files and having worked together briefly. To use Kevin's resources to train them now seemed like a waste.

Although Jimmy had two drinks with Kevin, he was still fine, and since it wasn't far from his apartment, he drove back to the apartment with Nia.

Maybe because Christmas was approaching, the recent news mainly involved various thefts and robberies, while murder cases were rarely seen. Jimmy and the others were completely relaxed, as they only went out for two temporary support tasks due to fewer cases, with nothing major occurring.

Jimmy had been pondering what to give Kevin until he saw his drawer containing the S&W M686-1, which had become a collectible.

This gun was the first one he bought, and it had performed remarkably in the past, with at least dozens falling before it. As a collectible, it's fine, but directly gifting Kevin this gun felt somewhat inappropriate.

Jimmy had used this gun for a long time, taking many lives. Whether it could become a Demon Extermination Weapon was another matter, but the key issue was whether it would carry any unclean things.

Using Heart Eye Observation on the M686 gun, Jimmy didn't see anything hidden on it, but he couldn't be completely sure there was no issue, as Roland's two 1875 guns showed no abnormalities under Heart Eye Vision but performed much better than his handgun in supernatural cases.

Thinking it over, Jimmy took out the M686, pocketed it, and after bidding farewell to Mark, he left the office and contacted Father Rodney, ensuring he was at the church. Jimmy skipped work and headed to the church to find Father Rodney.

Inside the church, Jimmy met Father Rodney who came out to greet him: "Father Rodney, good day, how's my cross pendant now?"

Rodney: "It's all done, come with me."

Rodney led Jimmy to the back meeting room, entered, and took out Jimmy's cross pendant, handing it to him, "Here you go, remember to carry it with you, it will protect you."

Jimmy: "Thank you, Father Rodney."

Receiving the cross, it was clear that Father Rodney had cleaned it thoroughly. Having worn it for a long time, it had accumulated many lipid residues. Though Jimmy would wipe it with a cloth, it couldn't compare to this clean.

Now, the cross had been cleaned meticulously, and it seemed like a layer of Holy Oil was applied, giving a great feel after drying. The wood grain was clearly visible, and Jimmy's old leather cord was replaced with a hemp rope. Although it looked cheap, it felt smooth to the touch.

Jimmy wore the cross pendant around his neck, tucked it into his shirt, and then stated his true purpose: "There's another matter, Father Rodney. You know my profession; before becoming an FBI agent, I was a county police officer. At that time, I had a regular service revolver that I used to take down many criminals; now it's retired. I wanted to ask you to check if this gun has the potential to become a Demon Extermination Weapon?"

Rodney furrowed his eyebrows: "A gun? It's rare for a gun to become a Demon Extermination Weapon; they are usually specifically made and blessed guns."

Jimmy: "I understand, someone had introduced me to Demon Extermination Weapons before, but... this gun has taken down many suspects. If it could truly become one, I'd keep using it myself."

Jimmy took the M686 revolver from his pocket, showing the open cylinder to Rodney, then closed it and turned the gun, handling it to Rodney.

Rodney held the gun's grip, looked at it, and smiled wryly: "Sorry, I really don't know much about guns; I've never used one."

Jimmy: "Is there anyone who can take a look? I'm planning to give this gun to a senior figure; whether it becomes a Demon Extermination Weapon is secondary, but I'm worried it may have absorbed some negative things due to its history."

Rodney looked at the revolver in front of him for a while longer and handed it back to Jimmy, "Sorry, I truly can't determine. If you seriously think there might be an issue, I can ask around for you."

Jimmy: "Thank you. If there's any progress, please let me know as soon as possible."

Rodney nodded and escorted Jimmy out of the reception room.

Failing to achieve his primary goal, Jimmy returned to his car, then took out the cross pendant for a closer look. Using Heart Eye Observation, he could see a very faint color surrounding the cross, like it gained a plating; this was probably what Father Rodney meant as power.

Unfortunately, Jimmy couldn't discern what this power was. The things he saw with Heart Eye Vision were all self-taught discoveries; he had no guidance and relied solely on himself.

He knew how to identify where there was an anomaly, but he couldn't understand the nature of these anomalies.

Putting away the cross pendant, Jimmy drove back to the office, placed the revolver back in the drawer, and started looking through reports submitted by other field offices, quickly encountering a multiple murder case.

The Hudson River Valley field office's jurisdiction had a severe murder case in a suburban three-story house rented by five supermarket employees. Three nights ago, they were brutally dismembered, and the supermarket manager reported it after failing to contact them. The police then discovered the gruesome scene.
