Thinking about this, Jimmy had a target in mind. He put on his coat, grabbed a cigarette, and headed downstairs. Outside, he smoked while observing passersby and the security personnel at Federal Square.

These people should be easy to distinguish. Passersby represent ordinary folks, while the security at Federal Square is somewhat stronger than ordinary people. Observing other agents passing by should cover the general crowd.

Lighting a second cigarette, Jimmy stood leaning against the wall, wearing sunglasses, staring at everyone passing by.

His judgment was correct. Under normal circumstances, Heart Eye Vision does not directly display weaknesses. Only when he focuses intensely on someone do they appear. The size of the weakness varies based on its fatal location. Additionally, he discovered that frequently focusing on weaknesses significantly drains mental energy, much more than regular Heart Eye Vision.

Under normal conditions, Jimmy can keep Heart Eye open all day. He had tried before, but when focusing, he clearly felt a slight fatigue. It's not very noticeable, but compared to regular Heart Eye Vision, there's indeed a difference.

To determine his ability's limits, Jimmy decided to keep Heart Eye on today. As for work, regular vision would not be necessary unless absolutely needed.

The next day at noon, Jimmy arrived at the church as agreed. Father Rodney had called him the afternoon before to arrange a meeting, but he still had to drive to Staten Island. Father White from St. Andrew's Church invited Jimmy for a meeting.

Father White, being old, hadn't left St. Andrew's Church for many years. Father Rodney explained to Jimmy in the car. If it weren't for this, Father White would have certainly come to Manhattan.

Jimmy had saved Father Rodney and others twice. Although they might have managed in combat, they faced tremendous risks, especially since the possessed individuals greatly exceeded their estimates. Following prior experience, sending one or two priests nearly ended in failure.

At the church, Father White greeted Jimmy and Father Rodney. After some pleasantries, Father White thanked Jimmy for his assistance and handed him a ring from the altar.

Father White merely said it was a gift to thank Jimmy. Father Rodney looked shocked, knowing that Father White intended something significant, but didn't expect such a valuable gift for Jimmy.

Father White: "Jimmy, I heard about their experiences. May I ask, do you know why you can kill these people? In fact, our people have also tried using guns in the past, but generally achieved little."

Jimmy: "I'm sorry, Father White, I'm entirely unclear about it. In fact, I've previously used a gun to kill a Resentful Spirit. That time was in Dallas, Texas. During the exorcism's last stage, the Resentful Spirit flew beyond Father Horton's cross-sword range. I didn't intend anything special; I just wanted to intercept, and only had a handgun available."

Father White: "May I see your handgun?"

Jimmy nodded: "Of course."

He took out the Glock, removed the magazine, ejected the bullet in the chamber, and handed the grip to Father White, "This is my issued handgun and the one I use most frequently."

Father White accepted it, "And the gun used to kill those two individuals."

Jimmy raised an eyebrow but didn't avoid it. He wasn't sure what was special about the two revolvers, only having a vague idea of their sturdiness and demon-breaking properties. He wasn't sure if Father White could detect it.

Jimmy handed over the revolvers after unloading their bullets to Father White. Father White placed the three unloaded guns on the altar and picked up the cross and Bible. He opened the Bible, touched Jimmy's handgun with the cross, but nothing unusual occurred.

Jimmy continuously used Heart Eye to observe the surroundings. As Father White began reciting incantations, Jimmy intensely focused on Father White. Apart from appearing as white spots, light-colored smoke started manifesting in Heart Eye Vision. If nothing unexpected happened, this should be the display of Vatican power.

The cross exhibited the same appearance but had no other phenomena when contacting the handgun. No force extended from the cross to the handgun, indicating nothing was wrong. As long as his gun didn't show issues, it was fine.

He had considered disclosing the differences in his gun compared to others, explaining his unique capabilities. But considering if he admitted the gun's uniqueness, there'd be many explanations required, like the gun's origin, and his firearm license couldn't withstand scrutiny. So, he gambled that they wouldn't recognize it.

In reality, Father White found nothing wrong with the gun. He recited incantations to confirm no problem with it, carefully observing it before returning it to Jimmy, thanking him for his trust.

Jimmy reloaded the bullets and holstered all the guns. The three sat down to discuss the two possession incidents. Father Rodney proposed preparing firearms for backup for the exorcist priests.

Jimmy had no objections but reminded them that his Glock 9mm bullets couldn't penetrate defenses. Thus, he suggested Father Rodney select powerful firearms when choosing weapons, considering special bullets, or even using surplus Holy Relics from the church to craft gun bodies and bullets.

Father Rodney had no objections, mostly communicating follow-up arrangements with Father White.

As the discussion neared conclusion, Jimmy asked, "Father White, why do you only use short swords, such close-range weapons?"

Father White smiled and said, "It's our experience over many years. Holy power can endow weapons with greater strength. This incident was a surprise. Naturally, we have other measures, just never expected their abilities to be so strong and deliberately enhance their bodies.

When possessed, they only enhance their bodies, using no spells or domain-like abilities, rendering our preparations ineffective."

Jimmy: "Seems you were underprepared. You should bring more weapons, better safe than sorry."

Father White nodded: "We'll arrange it for others."

The three talked further, learning Jimmy planned a May wedding, congratulating him. They soon concluded the conversation. Jimmy drove Father Rodney back to Manhattan.

In the car, Father Rodney mentioned the ring, "Jimmy, take good care of this ring. It's an Ascetic's Crest and will protect you."

Jimmy, surprised, glanced at Father Rodney, then refocused on the road. "It's valuable?"

Father Rodney: "Yes, Father White appreciates your help."

Jimmy: "Thank Father White for me, Father Rodney. By the way, if you're preparing handguns for others, consider securing a batch of armor-piercing bullets. Though I haven't tried, since the Magnum can break their defense, armor-piercing rounds should be more effective."

Father Rodney: "Yes, I'll have someone test the outcome. We do have Holy Bow and Arrows, but... not many can proficiently use them. Regarding guns, they've long been less effective than our weapons. Times have indeed changed."

Jimmy couldn't comment further. These matters were for them to consider. He only had the two guns Roland gifted him, couldn't just stop using them to let others use them, right?

After dropping Father Rodney at the church, Jimmy watched him enter before driving away.

Today, he used Heart Eye Observation on Father Rodney and Father White. Usually, Father White didn't exhibit that light-colored smoky power, only when reciting incantations at the altar. Father Rodney showed none throughout, indicating this power wasn't constant, only activating when needed.
