Reborn My Name Is Kobe

Jessica and I left this reading area for the time being. In fact, we have spent a long time here. Generally speaking, we have achieved a lot, at least we know about many important historical events.

Some similar people appeared at the scene of the incident. It is very likely that they are the same group of people, traveling to and from these places through time and space.

Jessica and I took out some of the files, and then prepared to bring them to the table to read slowly. Before, we only had a rough understanding of the general situation of the files, and then we were still preparing to update the specific contents of the files.

Through in-depth research and analysis, although most of the contents of these files are quite difficult to read, I believe that many new clues can still be found after Jessica and I read and analyze them together.

I have to say that our luck is really good. In the third historical file we read carefully, we discovered a quite strange story.

First of all, the appearance of this kind of story in this kind of inductive narrative archive is a very strange thing. But now that it has appeared, Jessica and I just plan to treat it as a very important breakthrough, and hope that it will

It can help us open a new door.

When we first read this story, we thought there was nothing special about it, but the more we read, the more we felt that something was not quite right in it, and we slowly understood why this story was attached to these historical records.

in the archive file.

1860 was a special time. One year later, the American Civil War began, and a new era was about to begin. However, in 1860, Boston, before the storm came, did not seem to be the same.

Not so peaceful.

A black-and-white photo of the city taken from a hot air balloon was posted on the side. This photo looks very old, giving the impression that it was taken over Boston in 1860. This photo has special significance for the times.

However, from this now very blurry photo, both Jessica and I discovered something was not quite right.

Europe in the 19th century was an era of rapid technological development. Therefore, when faced with the ever-expanding scientific territory, governments of various countries were full of curiosity and desire for unknown fields. Any group or individual who could help them obtain potential knowledge and technology would

Became the target of their efforts to win over.

There is a rather strange shadow area in the lower right corner of the photo. Jessica and I did not notice it when we first looked at it. However, this photo really attracted my and Jessica's attention, so we

I took a closer look at the surrounding area of ​​this photo, hoping to find something different.

This shadow area is very blurry. Limited by the pixels of the photos of that era and the erosion of the years, it is quite difficult for this photo to provide us with the current clarity, but although it seems to be very easy to use with the naked eye.

It's hard to make out the shadows in this photo directly, but Jessica and I spent enough time looking at it.

Until Jessica took out a small blue bottle from the small backpack she carried with her. I was very surprised because I had taken it from Jessica's backpack before on the plane.

I went to take out the atlas that looked a little strange, but I didn't seem to find this small blue bottle in my backpack at that time.

Jessica's face changed slightly. Her change was quite secretive. People who were not particularly familiar with her would not notice the subtle emotional fluctuations on her face at all. After this period of time,

Through our interactions with her, I have been able to keenly detect many special and subtle emotional changes on Jessica's face, and I have gradually discovered that Jessica actually likes to hide her true thoughts and emotions intentionally or unintentionally.

However, I didn't think about it more deeply at this time. I just felt that as a girl, it seemed quite normal for Jessica to hide her emotions and true thoughts.

Jessica gently opened the cap of the small blue bottle, and I smelled a faint fragrance. This fragrance was vague and vague, just like the fragrance that accidentally drifted through the fields in spring.

generally.

I didn't ask Jessica in detail what the liquid in the light blue bottle was. I saw her gently opening the cork of the bottle with her hand, and then slowly drained the light blue liquid in the bottle.

Fell on top of this photo.

When these light blue liquids came into contact with this ancient photo, they immediately produced some kind of white smoke. Although the white smoke looked a bit thick, it did not have any special smell, and what happened next

What happened surprised me even more.

I saw that as the white smoke slowly dissipated, the old photos that were originally yellowed and with low resolution had undergone huge changes. At this time, its resolution was as if it had been modified through software on a computer.

Just like the modifications, it suddenly became much clearer. Although it was still a black and white photo, the contrast, sharpening, resolution, and detail clarity of the photo were completely different. The most important thing is that we can see the photo clearly.

What is the originally blurry shadow in the lower right corner?

This shadow turned out to be a human figure, and it was none other than Sir Faustin.

Jessica and I have seen Sir Faustin's honor in several places, such as when we first entered Sir Faustin's manor, in a room on the second floor of the house that we thought was a haunted house.

In the study, I saw photos of Sir Faustin and his family descendants.

In addition, Jessica and I were in the Free Library of Philadelphia before, and photos of Sir Faustin also appeared in the files of the desert experiments, so even if we only saw one figure at this time, we could have at least seven or eight

Cheng was confident that the owner of this figure was Sir Faustin.

But his location is quite strange, because this photo should be taken by the photographer standing on a hot air balloon and taking a picture of the city of Boston below him. However, judging from the size of Sir Faustin in the photo, he is not here.

It should be floating in mid-air, which is obviously not consistent with common sense.

Not to mention that he was not wearing anything like a parachute at this time, even the way he was floating in the air seemed a bit wrong. After seeing this scene, Jessica and I both looked at each other, and then

They all saw some other emotions in each other's eyes.

"Jessica, this Sir Faustin is really omnipotent. It seems that not only can he travel through time and space, but he can even float a living person several thousand meters in the sky. I think

If we continue to pursue this, I'm afraid we will find out in the end that this guy may be a superman from the planet Krypton."

"We don't care who he is or what he is, but he really has some special connection with this story."

Let’s continue the story:

The full name of the photographer who took this photo is James Wallace Black. Two years ago, French photographer Nadar completed the first panoramic shot of the ground from the air. After he took this photo, he also

He immediately noticed a blurry shadow in the lower right corner of the photo, but he did not pay special attention to the shadow at that time, let alone think that the owner of the shadow was actually a living person.

He named this aerial photo of the city taken above Boston "Boston from the Perspective of an Eagle and a Wild Goose". He regarded this photo as his masterpiece, and later invited many friends in the industry to come to his home to appreciate it.

This work, and among his friends, some people saw that there was something wrong with the blurry shadow in the lower right corner of the photo.

So his friend found Blake privately after the appreciation meeting and expressed his own thoughts and doubts about the shadow.

Blake actually had his own opinions about this blurry shadow. He believed that this shadow was a special weather phenomenon, such as a very dark ball lightning.

However, his friends dismissed his view and believed that it was impossible for ball lightning with such a dark color to exist. At that time, people's understanding of ball lightning was still quite insufficient, and they did not know what ball lightning was.

natural phenomenon, but he likes to think of some natural phenomena that are difficult to explain in the direction of ball lightning, and apply whatever can be applied to it.

This is the same in any era. People always habitually explain some difficult-to-explain phenomena with theories that they are not familiar with, so that they can naturally convert one concept into another.

.

However, his friend was an understanding person. He saw that this black shadow could not be ball lightning at all, but should be the body of a huge creature, such as a huge eagle, but even if it was a huge

The eagle shouldn't have such a blurry shadow either.

Although Blake was already a skilled photographer at that time, he was not very clear about some situations that might occur during the shooting process that would affect the later effects of the photos. Of course, this cannot be blamed on him, after all, photography in this era is a project

It has just emerged, and everything is still in the initial stage of exploration.

Blake's friend persuaded Blake to hand over the photo to more authoritative institutions and individuals for testing, hoping to help him find out what kind of existence the black shadow in the photo was.

Blake's photo was immediately sent to a mysterious phenomenon research institution, where he experienced a series of incredible adventure stories, and even said that the stories themselves sounded very much like bridges that only appeared in novels.

However, given what this organization is engaged in, it is actually logical for these things to happen.

One thing I have to say is that Blake is naturally bold and careful, and is actually a good hand at logical thinking. However, when he was brought into this mysterious phenomenon research institution by his friend, he discovered that he was

Strict logical thinking seems to be facing unprecedented challenges.

But what challenged his logical thinking was nothing else. First of all, it was the photo in his hand, because in fact the black figure in the photo he took did not appear alone. There was already something in this mysterious organization.

I have collected a lot of photos showing this kind of black shadow.

In fact, even though photography technology has just been developed not long ago, this weird phantom seems to have been with you since the birth of photography technology. You never know when this phantom will appear in the photos you take.

But this was obviously difficult for Blake to accept. After all, he had never been a religious believer. On the contrary, he was a firm materialist. It was already very difficult for him to convince himself to follow his friends to this so-called mysterious phenomenon research institution.

Now you want him to believe that the photos he took are just part of a series of weird paranormal phenomena?

Blake kept shaking his head, and even the skin on his face was shaking evenly. It was a complex emotion that mixed anxiety, surprise, fear, and doubt. For a moment, he seemed to have made a decision.

He was ready to rush out of the house, but in the end he stayed.

When he saw those photos with his own eyes, he could no longer ignore the solid evidence. After all, he was a materialist, so as long as there was irrefutable evidence, even if you told him that there are really

God exists, and he can be believed, as long as you can find evidence that proves his existence.

Blake met some people in the mysterious phenomena research institution, and they took him into a field that he had never experienced before. In fact, the research on these so-called mysterious events was not based on legends or religions.

On the contrary, it is actually from a scientific perspective to find possible answers to these mysterious phenomena and mysterious events that cannot yet be solved.

This is a quite large organization, far larger than anyone imagined. The most important point is that this is actually an international organization. Many countries have secret research bases, and their activity funds are

Most of it comes from sponsorship from a mysterious person who is unwilling to reveal his true identity.

It is reported that this mysterious sponsor has only one request for the mysterious phenomenon research institution, and that is to regularly hand over to him the mysterious situations and specific research reports they have discovered. Of course, this seems to be a quite reasonable request. It seems that this mysterious sponsor

The patron is also a lover of mysterious phenomena.

This large international organization does not have a nominal supreme leader. Mysterious phenomenon research institutions in different countries have three to five people of similar status forming a top review group. They are responsible for conducting research on all collected mysterious phenomena.

Summarize and make a provisional judgment on these mysterious phenomena based on further research within the organization.

There are some mysterious phenomena that can be easily explained by the science of the time, but some mysterious phenomena have clearly surpassed the level of human technology and cognition at that time.

In order to further communicate, every three months, mysterious research institutions in various countries around the world will each send a member of the highest approval team to the location of the mysterious research institution in one of the countries to conduct an investigation that lasts from a week to half a month.

and other review meetings.

At this meeting, they will have some exchanges about the mysterious phenomena that they have not been able to solve, and learn from each other's knowledge and experience. This process is also a process of collision of collective wisdom, and it has indeed helped them find answers to some mysterious phenomena.

Later, as the influence of this mysterious research institution continued to expand, the governments of many countries also successively provided financial subsidies and rewards to this organization. The main purpose was actually to use this institution to conduct research on some edge technologies.

Blake gradually developed a sense of identity with this mysterious research organization, and even had the idea of ​​joining it. It happened that his friend introduced him to a member of the Supreme Approval Team, and he also invited Blake to participate in an event.

Amid the mysterious incident that had just occurred, Blake immediately agreed.

For him, this is definitely not just an opportunity to satisfy his strong curiosity, but more importantly, it is an opportunity, an opportunity for him to greatly expand the scope of his life.

Of course, things are definitely not as simple as he thought at the beginning. The reason why these mysterious phenomena are mysterious is not only because people rarely have the opportunity to encounter them, but more importantly, these mysterious phenomena have something beyond normal science.

The existence of categories also leads to the complexity of some mysterious phenomena that is unimaginable to ordinary people.

Several members of the mysterious research organization took Blake to the large sewers beneath Boston. Here they encountered attacks by some huge mutant bugs. The prototypes of these bugs should be some kind of beetles, but they don't know why they happened.

Due to the mutation, their size has directly changed from about two inches to more than one foot. Their huge size greatly enhances their aggressiveness.

Although the number of this mutated beetle is not large, because the carapace is hard, the teeth are sharp, and the mutated beetle contains a certain amount of toxins, it is highly lethal to the exposed skin of humans. Once bitten by this insect,

The wound will become red and swollen rapidly and is extremely difficult to heal. The venom of this beetle has the effect of inhibiting wound healing and can easily lead to subsequent wound infection.

Members of the mysterious research organization and Blake entered this area fully armed. Here they found several corpses of poor Parisians. All the dead had one characteristic, that is, the color of their skin changed from red to purple, and

A layer of flesh has formed on the skin, and the actual condition is extremely miserable.

After taking samples of their skin and testing, researchers found that a large number of active toxins remained in the bodies of the deceased. These toxins should only appear after the deceased died, and these toxins become more and more active as time goes by.

After some twists and turns, they discovered that the mutated beetle would inject toxins into the victim's body, and the female beetle would also inject eggs into the victim's body.

When the toxin injected into the victim is large enough, they will die, and then their bodies will produce more toxins and become more and more suitable for insect eggs to hatch.

When the toxin content reaches a certain level, the beetle eggs will hatch on their own, and the beetle larvae will also use the victim's corpse as a source of nutrition until they grow to a certain size before breaking out.

There is no doubt that this kind of beetle is a very terrifying existence, but the question arises, how did this kind of beetle appear? The factors that originally produced this kind of beetle are not particularly clear at present.

Members of the mysterious research agency and Blake explored the vast underground sewers of Boston for nearly a week. In the process, Blake experienced the longest and most terrifying week in his life.

In fact, the beetle that injects toxins into the human body and lays eggs is just an appetizer. The real meal is still waiting for them later. When they walk along the sewer that has an unknown number of years of history,

It was also discovered that more and more mutant creatures were being bred in this dark and cold underground world.

Most of these mutated creatures have become more aggressive and lethal. In the process, at least three members of the mysterious research organization were killed, and more than five people were left with permanent injuries after being attacked.

Blake's luck was relatively good, he only suffered some superficial injuries.

But what he experienced during this week had a huge impact on his spirit. He was in a state of neurasthenia for a long time after that, and even after a lot of psychological counseling and treatment by a psychiatrist, he

It's still hard to face what happened during this week.

And what exactly happened during this week, and what horrific creatures they encountered in the Boston sewer world, all this has become a huge mystery. The mysterious research agency has not revealed any information at all, and

Blake also spontaneously suffered from the so-called selective amnesia due to mental reasons, forgetting everything that happened that week.

But even though he had forgotten the horrific things that happened that week, his mental state was still not fully recovered. It was hard to imagine what kind of experience would cause such huge damage to his brain and spirit.

And their experience in the Paris underground world was actually only exposed many years later.

Many years later, an old man told his experiences during his lifetime, and found a lot of information related to this mysterious research institution among his belongings, as well as the aerial photo of Boston taken by Blake.

.

Nowadays, this mysterious research institution has ceased to exist in name only. After a series of indescribable changes, this mysterious research institution no longer exists, and the large amount of information about mysterious events they left behind has also disappeared, leaving only

Very little of the information was eventually discovered by the government.

What is certain is that a week after the mysterious research organization entered the Boston sewers, they did not know what method they used to completely eliminate the mutated creatures. Many years later, someone organized another expedition to the Boston sewers, thinking

To find out the truth about what happened to the members of the mysterious research organization and Black.

However, they found nothing. It seemed that all traces had been erased, or that everything had never happened at all, whether it was Blake's subsequent mental disorder or the man who claimed to be a member of a mysterious organization before his death.

The old man and the information he left behind are all false.

But what is the truth of the matter?

Seeing this, Jessica and I were surprised to find that there seemed to be some other information attached to this horrific story.

Blake's aerial view of Boston was posted at the front, while the information on the mysterious research institutions was left at the back.

Jessica and I looked at each other, and I took a deep breath, which was like a natural physical reaction after reading a quite thrilling suspense story.

"Jessica, do you believe these things?"

"I don't know, but you see there is so much evidence in this file, it seems we can't help but believe it."

"I'm wondering who the sponsor behind that mysterious research organization is, and what is his real purpose? And why would people from this mysterious research organization want to invite a cameraman who knows nothing about anything to participate?

Such a dangerous adventure, my intuition tells me that there must be something else hidden in this matter."

"There must be some kind of trait in Blake that he doesn't know and can't discover, and the people from those mysterious research institutions

People know it very well, and you see that so many people from very powerful mysterious research institutions were either killed or injured after going down to the Boston sewers. However, Blake, who had only the power to restrain himself, was almost unscathed, but at the same time, his

The spirit has suffered some very huge damage, and there is no doubt that this Blake is the key to the whole thing."

"The story begins with Blake taking a bird's-eye view of the city of Boston in a hot air balloon, but a shadow appeared in the lower right corner of the photo. He invited many friends to his home to enjoy his photo, but it seemed that everyone

No one realized there was something wrong with the shadow in the lower right corner of this photo, but one of his friends noticed it, and in order to help him solve the problem, he introduced him to one of the most powerful people in the mysterious research organization.

It seems that his friend is also very problematic."

"What you are saying is that this whole thing was probably set up by someone from the beginning specifically to lure Blake in, including the shadow in the photo that someone deliberately wanted him to take.

, but at that time there was no post-processing technology for photos, so the shadows in this photo were all done by this person.”

"Yes, Jessica, you used that light blue liquid to wash out the true appearance of this shadow. If this person is really part of this plan, and if he is really Sir Faustin,

Then things seem to connect together."

"In other words, Sir Faustin is either the mysterious sponsor behind the mysterious research institution, or he has other close connections with the mysterious research institution. If this is really the case, then it seems to be quite reasonable."

"At least in our speculation, Sir Faustin has once again become the key figure connecting these things. Let's now take a look at the information about the mysterious research institution that the old man of the mysterious research institution left before his death."

We flipped through the file a few more pages and found that there was nothing at the back where the information should have been attached. However, we found that the information should have been torn directly from the file. It seems that someone did not want others to discover this.

Information about the mysterious research institution.

"Jessica, there is still someone who has been so quick by us. I find that the more things we find now, the harder it is to see Sir Faustin clearly. God knows how much information can be found in so many historical files.

His information, but these fragmentary information cannot help us find him at all! Maybe our pursuit direction is wrong! "

I lowered my head in discomfort, and a huge feeling of powerlessness completely enveloped me. This feeling was completely different from the feeling of powerlessness I felt when playing against a much stronger opponent on the basketball court.

In the competition field, you can at least know clearly who your opponent is, and you can clearly know in what way he will defeat you, but now everything we face is like an invisible mysterious force.

, we have no idea who our opponent is, where he is, and what we should do to defeat him.

Seemingly seeing how uncomfortable I was, Jessica came over and patted my back, wanting to comfort me. I held Jessica in my arms, and the warmth on her body also made my heart feel warm again.

He became warmer and secretly determined to find out the truth of everything.

Then I closed the file in my hand again, then closed my eyes, trying to make my heart calmer. Sometimes the more impatient we are to get the answer and truth of something, the more

You will be getting further and further away from the truth and answers of things. Sometimes stopping to rest and think is not giving up on progress, but a necessary preparation to go better and further in the future.

"Jessica, I think we have fallen into a dead end now. Do you think the information we are looking at is actually set up for us by someone early in the morning, so no matter what we see or find,

This is what they want us to see and discover.”

"How is that possible? There are 15 million books in the Boston Public Library. How can they know which book we are going to read? This is simply impossible."

"Is it really impossible?"

I muttered and murmured in a low voice. The three words "impossible" kept jumping in my mind. I always felt that the meaning of these three words had changed at some point. For us,

Are the impossible things really impossible for them?

Although I was thinking so, I did not refute Jessica's statement, because her statement was also very reasonable. I couldn't explain everything with some unimaginable situations with low probability. Forcing an explanation would make us fall into

Going into another misunderstanding, it seems that the top priority now is to regain the clarity of the brain, and then either continue to search for information, or do some summary and reflection on the existing information, maybe we can also rediscover some things that have not been discovered before.

situation.

"Jessica, it's almost 12 o'clock. How about we just see here today? I suddenly feel a little tired. Let's go find a fun place to have fun this afternoon. Now I

Then I really understood a truth, that is, sometimes using your brain is really more tiring than exercising."

"When the human body is thinking, the brain consumes a lot of energy. Sometimes it is indeed more tiring than when exercising, so no matter what, it is necessary to balance work and rest. I also agree with your idea.

Let’s find a place in Boston to have a good time this afternoon, don’t think about anything, and live together in a world that only belongs to us.”

"Jessica, you're so kind. It snowed in Boston last night. Let's go look for a park where we can have a snowball fight this afternoon, or we can build a big snowman together."

Jessica nodded heavily.

We put the files back to where they were supposed to be. To be honest, I suddenly had an idea, that is, instead of deliberately pursuing the truth of all these things, maybe instead of wasting time and life on these meaningless things,

In terms of meaning, it is better to cherish the time you can spend with Jessica and enjoy this beautiful life.

Jessica and I walked out of the Boston Public Library hand in hand. Although we only stayed here for a few hours in the morning, we both experienced firsthand what a real ocean of knowledge is. Maybe we will come again in the future.

Boston, we will come to this library again to look for information, or maybe we just want to come here to enjoy the tranquility.

At noon we found a restaurant that specializes in Chinese food. The owner of this restaurant is a mixed-race Chinese. His mother is from China, and his father is 50% European and 50% American. It is precisely because

With genes and bloodlines from multiple continents and different races, this female boss looks quite charming.

She possesses both the elegance of the East and the confidence of the West. Because of my previous life, I had a good chat with this female boss, which made Jessica next to me a little unhappy.

Seeing Jessica's dissatisfied look, I quickly ended the conversation with the female boss and began to think of ways to make Jessica happy. Unexpectedly, Jessica, who has always been relatively intellectual, would become really coquettish and jealous.

Such a good hand, it made me feel a bit at a loss.

In the end, Jessica and I took the initiative to admit our mistakes, made several guarantees, and promised to buy her a brand-name bag, which made her smile.

I know that girls have to be coaxed after all, and Jessica’s character is probably the kind of person who either doesn’t get jealous, but if she does get jealous, she will be very powerful.

This Chinese restaurant has quite a variety of dishes. In my previous life, I was a Chongqing native, so I especially liked Sichuan and Jianghu dishes. This Chinese restaurant also has a lot of Sichuan and Jianghu dishes. I

They are all a bit suspicious that the mother of the female owner of this restaurant is a girl from Chongqing.

Of course, I didn't really confirm this. If I talked too happily with the female boss again, Jessica would have to tear me apart.

I asked Jessica what kind of food she likes to eat, and found out that Jessica also likes spicy food. I originally thought she would prefer Cantonese food or Hunan food, but I didn't expect that Jessica's taste is different from

I quite resemble it.

It seems that one family does not want to enter the same house. If this is the case, I will not be polite.

So I ordered seven or eight dishes in one go. Jessica looked at me a little surprised when she saw the large table of dishes, as if telling me that she couldn't eat so much.

"It's okay, it's rare to experience Chinese food, and the food in this restaurant is quite authentic and authentic from the name. How can I not take this opportunity to satisfy my appetite?"

"It's good, but it's a waste if you can't finish it all."

"It's okay, you don't need to save me money, and my appetite is not small. I have really consumed a lot in these two days of competition, so I can just make up for it. A little indulgence should be okay."

A bright smile appeared on the corner of my mouth. When I saw the many dishes on the table that I liked very much in my previous life, a series of memories came to my mind, and even the corners of my eyes became moist.

Seeing these dishes reminds me of my hometown in my previous life. What a beautiful city it was!

I suppressed my emotions and did not show them.

I used chopsticks to put a lot of vegetables into Jessica's bowl, but she had an unbelievable expression on her face.

"Have you ever used chopsticks before? Why do you feel so skilled in using chopsticks in your hands?"

"Well, when I was a child in Italy, my dad took me to eat authentic Chinese food several times. I learned how to use chopsticks at that time, and the memory of my childhood was very deep, so after so many years, I saw chopsticks in my childhood.

Memories will come to mind. To be honest, I don’t know how I became so skilled.”

"That's it."

Jessica looked at me suspiciously, which made me feel a little numb.

"Eat it quickly. This is called spicy chicken. It goes very well with rice. It won't taste good if it's cold."
