Reborn My Name Is Kobe

When I came to this gym near Jessica's house, it had just opened, so there weren't many people inside. The owner of the gym had met me last time, so this time he was very enthusiastic as soon as I entered.

I also chatted with him for a while.

In fact, the owner of this gym is also a fitness expert himself. He looks like he is in his forties, but his actual age is already in his fifties. Exercise makes him look younger and his muscle lines are well maintained.

Not bad, and he seems to be a relatively natural exerciser. There are not many traces of drugs or hormones on his body. In fact, the last time I came here, there were several very strong guys who must have taken hormones.

.

I asked the gym owner for some tips on how to strength train, and I also wanted to improve my strength without gaining too much weight.

"You don't actually need to worry too much about your weight. After all, judging from the amount of aerobic exercise you do every day, it is generally unlikely that you can increase your weight. You need to pay more attention to the nutritional mix of your diet, plus

Adequate sleep and rest time is enough, and strength training cannot be done too hastily. You are still a little young and have not yet reached the most suitable age for strength training."

"What you said makes sense, so I'd better not do any particularly intense strength training. I'd rather focus on physical fitness and flexibility training."

After determining my training focus, I officially entered the gym. There are dozens of different types of fitness equipment. When I first came here, I was quite amazed because I felt that the fitness equipment here was

The equipment is much more complete than our Lakers team gym. You can find equipment here to train almost any muscle in the body.

However, I was a little dizzy when faced with so many machines, so I found a personal fitness trainer and asked him to show me the general functions of these fitness machines.

The fitness instructor spent a full hour getting me familiar with the equipment, and then I decided to train by myself, because I was used to arranging and training by myself, and didn't particularly like people standing by and watching me train.

After learning about so many different fitness equipment, I decided to make a detailed fitness plan for myself. In fact, our body muscles need a period of rest after exercise, usually 48 hours to 72 hours.

It took an hour to fully recover, but as a professional basketball player

As a football player, I train almost every day, so it is actually impossible for the muscles to fully recover. This also leads to the long-term regular season, we will accumulate a lot of exercise fatigue, and the muscles cannot be 100% recovered.

During recovery, there will be some hidden dangers of injuries.

The purpose of doing muscle training in certain positions is not necessarily to make it stronger, but to indirectly release the accumulated exercise fatigue in the body by using these muscles that are not usually used.

So I will develop a training plan to train the muscles in different areas separately, so as to achieve the best training effect.

For example, this time I mainly train the muscles of the legs, then next time I will train the muscles of the waist, abdomen or arms, and next time I may train some back or some hidden small muscle groups. This should be able to

Give me some better results.

As time went by, there were more and more people in the gym, and I also saw a few of the guys I saw when I came to this gym last time. It seemed that they really came here often, and several of them

They were all together, and they showed great enthusiasm after seeing me. Seeing how enthusiastic they were, I couldn't ignore them, so I also asked them for some training skills.

You wouldn't know if you didn't ask, but after asking you found out that one of them was a former United States bodybuilding champion. He was already in his forties or fifties at this time, but his muscles were extremely impressive. He was less than six years old.

He is 250 feet tall and weighs more than 250 pounds, and his body fat content is less than 8%. You can imagine how strong this guy is.

However, in fact, players like us who play in the NBA generally cannot train their muscles too much, which will greatly affect the flexibility of the body. And for basketball, a sport that relies heavily on running and jumping, too much weight

It is a very big burden. Not everyone can carry a weight of more than 300 pounds like Shaq and jump one meter high and run faster than ordinary forward players. He is a monster and cannot be used.

Judge according to normal people's standards.

Of course, I dare not accept all the training methods told to me by those who are very good at bodybuilding. For training, I still prefer to use my own method. My training methods are based on some of the training methods I have mastered in my previous life.

Fitness knowledge, and after talking with the trainers of the Lakers and Kobe's soul, it was formulated after comprehensive consideration, so it should be said that my own training method will be more suitable for me.

However, sometimes training alone can be a bit boring. With a few people together, chatting and training at the same time, you will feel that time passes faster, and boring training becomes a little more interesting.

During this period, I also chatted with them about various attractions near Los Angeles and interesting places in other cities in the United States. Some of these guys knew a lot about these things. Some of them had hiked several places in the United States when they were young.

Traveling and exploring ten cities, he said that if cameras were not popular enough back then, he would have taken hundreds of thousands of photos.

But what surprised me the most was that when we talked about Sir Faustin’s Manor in Los Angeles, one of them actually knew a lot about it. Many of the things he said about Sir Faustin’s Manor were the same as those between me and me.

The information Jessica found in the Los Angeles History Museum was quite consistent, which instantly piqued my interest.

"How do you know these things about Sir Faustin's estate?"

"Haha, don't you know, my great-grandfather once worked as a housekeeper in this manor for nearly twenty years. He wrote a diary of everything he saw and heard during these twenty years. This diary

It has been hidden in my old house, and I only found this diary in the attic when I was renovating the old house a few years ago."

"Then what exactly is recorded in your great-grandfather's diary? Can you tell me about it?"

"You seem to be very interested in the affairs of this manor. Have you ever been to the manor to see it?"

"Well, not long ago, this manor was packaged into a haunted house by someone, and then opened to the public."

"What's going on? This is unlikely. As far as I know, the manor has been abandoned and closed for decades. Even if it is open to the public, there are only countless spider webs and fallen leaves."

"It does look like no one has been there for a long time, but someone has definitely tidied it up, and there are still a lot of furniture and documents in the main building. It looks like someone has lived there during that time.

"

"How could this happen?"

The man's expression suddenly became very strange, as if he was thinking seriously about something, but what exactly was he thinking about?

"I'm planning to go there again recently. If you're free today, you can go with me. My girlfriend will be with you. If you can bring out your great-grandfather's diary, I'll do it."

Even better, because there are really too many incredible things in this manor."

"That's a good idea. I'll go home and get my notes now. Give me your mobile phone number and we'll contact you later."

"Okay, if possible, you'd better prepare some other tools, such as flashlights and some self-defense weapons. My girlfriend and I encountered some bizarre things when we went in before.

It’s always good to make some preparations.”

We left each other a mobile phone number, and then he left the gym. Others around him looked surprised after hearing what we said. Several of them seemed to have heard the story of this manor, but it was not big.

Most of them are rumors and short stories heard from somewhere, and some of them are quite bizarre.

I didn’t stay in the gym for long. I did some jogging and returned to Jessica’s house. By this time, Jessica had also gotten up.

When she saw me, she jumped directly into my arms. I patted her back gently, telling her not to panic or get excited. I was just going out to exercise.

However, when I saw the dark circles on her face, I realized that she didn't seem to have slept very well last night.

"Did you have a nightmare?"

Jessica nodded weakly, I stroked her blond hair that fell to her shoulders with my hands, and then comforted her in a low voice.

Jessica told me the scene in her dream. It turned out that she just dreamed that her parents met with an accident in a quite desolate place. She said that she saw some big flying bats with sharp teeth that killed her parents.

She picked it up in the air and threw it to the bottom of the cliff. She cried while talking.

After more than ten minutes, Jessica's mood finally stabilized a little. I told her what happened in the gym just now, and asked her if she wanted to go to Sir Faustin's manor with me again.

She had no expression at first, as if she was thinking about something, and then she nodded slowly, as if she had made some huge determination.

Just like the last time we went to Sir Faustin's manor, we made a lot of preparations in advance. Compared to the last time, we have more experience now, so we believe that this time we should be able to go to Sir Faustin's manor.

Find more clues.

At this time, my mobile phone rang, and it was the person who just called. His name is Robert, and he is a construction worker by profession. To be honest, there are not many construction workers with such a strong body like him, but in the United States

Relatively speaking, construction workers have relatively good incomes and benefits, and in many cases they also have free time that they can arrange by themselves.

He told me that he was ready and ready to go at any time. I told him that we would just meet at the door of Sir Faustin's manor, and he readily agreed.

Jessica and I put the prepared things into our backpacks and set off.

When Jessica and I arrived at the gate of Sir Faustin's Manor, it was already around 10:30 in the morning. After Jessica and I got off the car, we saw Robert at a glance. He was wearing a black

Wearing a windbreaker and a black hat, he looks quite stylish, just like a big brother-level character in the movie.

"Your driving skills are not good, you came so slowly."

"There's a bit of a traffic jam on the road. The traffic conditions in Los Angeles are like this. There's nothing we can do about it. By the way, did you bring your great-grandfather's diary?"

Robert smiled and took out a small book from the backpack on his back. This small book looks a little worn. Not only can you tell from the appearance that it is an old book, but even if you get a little closer,

With just one touch, you can directly smell the smell soaked in history with your nose.

I carefully took from Robert's hand a diary that looked like it might break at any time. It could be seen that this diary was probably over a hundred years old, and some parts of it had been specially reinforced.

, in addition, there are still some very strange black marks left on the paper. I suspect that these black marks are blood stains after drying.

Jessica, who was beside me, also looked at the diary with a strange look. I even looked at each other and probably guessed what the other person was thinking. Jessica and I must have thought about it together.

Robert just smiled slightly after seeing the look in our eyes.

"The black marks on this diary are indeed bloodstains. It has followed my great-grandfather through many bloody events. Just like this manor, it is full of bloody past."

"What happened in this manor has always been a mystery. Jessica and I once went to the Los Angeles Museum of History to find historical records about this manor, but we only saw a small part of it and closed the museum. However, we waited until the second day

When I went back that day, many things in the museum were stolen, and government agencies such as the FBI and CIA were involved in the investigation of this matter. Do you think this is too much of a coincidence?"

"If you open this notebook left by my great-grandfather, you will understand that this manor is full of all kinds of evil and is a place where filth and evil practices hide evil and evil. If you think about it, why Sir Faustin is doing so?

If you have been unwilling to open this manor for a long time, there must be a reason why you have to do so. I believe you also know the true identity of Sir Faustin."

Jessica and I looked at each other with doubtful expressions, but Robert's smile disappeared at this time.

"Don't you know Sir Faustin's true identity yet?"

"Sir Faustin's true identity? But as far as we know, the identity of Sir Faustin is definitely not simple. First of all, he is a person who will not age at all. In many records and photos from different places and times, this Faustin's identity is definitely not simple.

Sir Stan has appeared like this before, so I doubt that he is not an ordinary human being at all, but a future human being with the ability to travel through time and space."

"Hahaha, future humans with the ability to transcend time and space? You have watched too many science fiction movies. Let me tell you, this guy is actually a vampire with the ability to live forever. The evidence is in my great-grandfather's diary."

"What?" Jessica and I looked at each other in shock again, completely unable to believe the words coming out of this guy's mouth.

"Are you sure your mind is still clear right now? Do you believe in vampires?"

At this time, I showed a very shocked expression, but Robert did not say anything, but helped me open the diary of his great-grandfather in my hand. When it was opened, there was a strong stimulation.

The sexual smell rushed towards me, it was a strong bloody smell. I don't know how many years ago they were contaminated by this diary, but it is still so strong until now.

My attention was attracted by some records in the diary. After reading a few pages, I found that these diaries were written in a hurry, as if they were written while holding the diary with their hands, giving people a sense of urgency.

It feels quite messy, and the strokes of many letters are not fully written. It can be simplified.

Simplified writing is used in all writing places, and some contents must be understood in context. This shows that the author was in a hurry when writing this diary, and may not even be able to squat down.

To write, you must write this diary while walking.

It is precisely because of this that many of the records in this diary are quite strange. The so-called preface does not match the follower. If you don't use your imagination, you may not be able to understand the meaning at all.

Jessica and I read more than ten pages of the diary together. There are several terrible stories recorded in it. I will not describe these stories one by one here. In short, they are all about what he did at Sir Faustin's Manor.

Some of the terrible things he has personally experienced, several of which are about corpses dumped, and corpses whose blood has been completely sucked dry. In his description, this kind of shriveled corpse has become his nightmare, making him

For a long time, his dreams were filled with these horrific corpses.

"So do you think that the bloodless corpses described in your great-grandfather's diary are evidence that Sir Faustin is a vampire?"

"Of course there is more evidence, but this evidence is actually sufficient. Every once in a while, my great-grandfather would need to help the manor dispose of some corpses whose blood had been completely sucked out. You said this still does not explain the nature of this manor.

Are all the people living in it vampires? And you said you found a lot of evidence that Sir Faustin appeared in different places and times, doesn’t it also prove that he can live forever like a vampire? "

For a moment, I really couldn't seem to find a suitable reason to refute Robert's words, but I always felt that something was not right. My intuition told me that Sir Faustin could never be a vampire, but what his great-grandfather recorded in this diary

How to explain these terrible things that happened?

"I found that some parts of your great-grandfather's notebook were written in a very strange script. It is neither English nor Latin. What script is it?"

I brought Robert's great-grandfather's notes in front of him and asked him to look at them carefully. In fact, only the first half of the notes were written in English, while the second half was written in a kind of English.

They were written with characters that she had never seen before, and Jessica couldn't help but shake her head after reading these characters. This kind of characters looks very ancient, because they are a bit like some kind of hieroglyphs that have been transformed.

produced.

"To be honest, I don't know what these characters are. I once took this notebook to some experts in character identification, but none of them could tell what characters they were, or even

I couldn’t even tell what era the words were written in, and later on I didn’t think about how to translate them. Maybe my great-grandfather copied them from somewhere.”

"What you said reminds me that there are many secret underground tunnels and hidden rooms in Sir Faustin's manor, but the strangest thing is that I think Jessica and I have been there several times before.

None of them have fully discovered the secret here.”

I told them the results of my previous discussion with Kobe Soul about Jessica and I's previous three visits to this manor.

When they arrived at this manor in different time and space, both Robert and Jessica had extremely shocked expressions on their faces.

"Do you think there is a possibility that there is some kind of time and space passage in this manor, and people who enter it will most likely step into other time and space without knowing it.

"

After I said these words, Robert's expression became extremely strange, as if he had heard something very strange. Maybe I had a similar expression when I heard him say that Sir Faustin might be a vampire.

Bar.

"Forget it, there is no point in discussing these issues now, because we can't draw any practical conclusions at all. We still have to enter this manor to see the results. I don't know what your plan is this time.

Did you enter through the front door or the back door?"

Robert's face calmed down a little. He took his great-grandfather's notes from me and carefully put them into the bag he carried with him. There was a metal box in the bag, and the notebook was placed in that metal box.

This can protect your notes to the greatest extent.

"Jessica and I discussed it before we came here. This time we will go in directly from the main entrance, and then go to the building we went to when we first came here. Today we will try our best to carefully check it out.

Let’s explore the manor.”

"Well, I also brought a small video camera. Its power plus the spare battery can probably record for a few hours. You didn't bring any recording tools when you came here before. To be honest, I just took a look.

It is easy to overlook many details. With the video, it will be very interesting to go back and take a closer look at our adventure process."

I was surprised. I didn't expect that Robert seemed to be a very careless person, but he thought about the problem in such detail. It seems that people really cannot be judged by their appearance, and sea water cannot be measured.

It’s just that I can’t figure out why he really believes that Sir Faustin is a vampire since he is not the kind of brainless person?

Hey, there are some things that you really can’t think about in detail, and a lot of strange questions will come up when you think about them.

The three of us came to the main entrance of Sir Faustin's Manor. This time I looked specifically at the people guarding the door. However, what surprised me was that there was no one at the door of the manor today. Every time I came here three times before,

There will always be someone guarding the door, although the person guarding it is different every time, but never like now, the door of the manor is wide open, and there is no one guarding the door.

The three of us looked at each other with doubts in our eyes, and then we crossed the gate and continued towards the interior of the manor. To be honest, I had never paid close attention to the gate of this manor before. This time I held each person in my arms.

With the thought of not letting go of any detail, I looked carefully and realized that the gate of this manor seemed a little weird.

"Wait a minute, don't you think this gate is a little strange?"

Robert and Jessica stopped and looked at me with doubtful looks. They raised their heads and looked at the manor's main hall carefully.

Then he was silent for a long time, seemingly unaware that there was anything wrong with the gate of the manor.

"Tell me what you see is wrong?"

Robert looked at me with confusion.

"No matter where I get the information, the construction time of this manor should be around the mid-19th century. But do you think the gate of this manor looks like the architectural style of the mid-19th century?"

After hearing what I said, Robert and Jessica suddenly had a look of enlightenment on their faces, but after a moment, they showed a look of doubt.

"This gate seems to be the architectural style of the ancient European Mediterranean generation, which is a mixture of the styles of ancient Athens and Rome, but what does this mean?" Jessica saw the origin of the style of this gate.

"The difference between the styles of ancient Athens and Rome and the style of the manor itself is not huge, but that's not what I want to say is the crux of the matter."

"Then what exactly do you want to explain?"

"I remembered that when Jessica and I came to this manor for the first and second time, the gate was not like this, and when we came to this manor for the third time, the gate looked different again, and today

But a third door appears, what do you think this means?"

"Don't you mean to say that the several times you have been to this manor before, you have actually entered this manor in different time and space, or that you have not entered the same manor at all, or even that

The manor we are in now is not actually Sir Faustin's manor in a strict sense, but another manor that I don't know what it is."

Robert started dancing as he spoke, and he was now a little more excited.

"It is indeed very possible that this is the case. Although I can't figure out the logic of this now, it is indeed a direction of thinking. As for whether it is true, we have to wait until we continue to enter this

You can only find out by visiting the manor."

Then the three of us walked through the gate of the manor and walked along the mossy path toward the inside of the manor. Within a few steps of entering the manor, Jessica and I already understood the fact that this was indeed not us.

The road I saw when I first entered the manor was not covered with weeds and moss like it is now, as if no one had lived there for at least several decades.

"Is this what you were like when you first came here?"

Robert pointed to the path ahead.

I shook my head slightly.

"It was definitely not what it is now when we first came here. Although there were some weeds on the edge of the trail, there were almost no bryophytes growing, and the weeds looked quite neat, as if someone specially planted them regularly.

These weeds have generally been trimmed to some extent.”

Jessica also nodded, agreeing with what I said.

"It seems the situation is really weird."

The three of us continued walking along the path, and finally came to the house where Jessica and I first came here. At this time, we stood in front of the house and found that the entire house was

It is already covered with various vines. If the shape of the entire building was not easier to distinguish, I would definitely not be able to connect it with the building Jessica and I saw.

"This is really weird. It was definitely not like this when we came here." Jessica gently stroked the vines on the wall with her hands, as if she wanted to verify everything in front of her with her own hands.

The door of this house was also tightly closed at this time, but when we came here, the door was directly opened. It seemed that these were Sir Faustin's manor in two completely different time periods.

"It's really incredible. It seems that there really is some kind of time and space turbulence in Sir Faustin's manor. Every time we enter this manor, we will go to this manor at a different point in time, and

We don’t know what time period we are in this manor now, maybe we should go inside and have a look, maybe we can find something that can determine the time.”

Both Robert and Jessica nodded to express their agreement with my idea. Now that we are here, no matter how weird the situation in front of us is, we have to move forward with our heads on our shoulders until we completely understand the manor.

Until the secrets in it are thoroughly explored.

First of all, we must find a solution to the problem of entering this door. This is a thick wooden door. I have no way to determine the specific type of wood used for this door, but what is certain is that it must be a very hard one.

, very corrosion-resistant trees. Even if we took out a short-handled knife and tried to pry open the door, we didn't find the slightest chance.

"No, this door is too strong. If we don't have special lock-picking tools or tools to pry the door, we may not be able to enter it today."

There was a look of disappointment on Robert's face, as if being blocked by this door had already made him lose confidence.

I gently patted his shoulder, cheered him up a little, and asked him not to give up his efforts too early. If there is no way to get in through the front door, then we will look for a side door or a window or something, and we will always find one.

A passage that can be entered.

Robert quickly returned to his previous good state after listening to my words, and the three of us kept looking around the building.

Because the surrounding weeds and shrubs were a bit too lush, we were unable to set foot directly in many places. We could only take out a knife to clear the way while walking, and Robert saw that he had taken out a long foldable knife from somewhere.

This saber is so sharp that it can open a passage for us just by touching it lightly.

However, although the saber is sharp, because the bushes in some places are too dense, our forward speed is still very limited. But if we don't take these roads, we will have to take a long detour. We follow this building

I walked to the edge of the building, trying to find a window that could allow people to get in.

However, we walked for a long time and found that there was no window on the entire first floor. This was a bit unexpected. If the first floor had no windows at all, how did the people living inside ventilate?

La?

My mind kept recalling the scene when Jessica and I entered this building for the first time. In my impression, there seemed to be no information about the windows on the first floor. It seemed that the first floor was a very large building at that time.

There seems to be no windows around the hall, which is really scary.

After walking for a while, the three of us stood still. After all, we were a little frustrated because we didn't find any windows. We really didn't expect that our trip today would be so unsatisfactory, and we couldn't even enter this building.

.

"What should we do? It looks like we can't enter this building today. This door looks really strong. I feel like it's really difficult to open it without explosives."

Robert put the knife directly on the ground and looked a little angry. After all, he had gained a lot of weight after practicing fitness, so he still felt tired easily.

"Let's go back to the front door first and think about it in the long term. I believe we can definitely find a way to enter this house."

The way back for the three of us was a little easier. After all, we had just forcibly opened a path among the bushes and weeds. When we returned to the main entrance, I caught a glimpse of a person in the distance.

There seems to be something not quite right about the place.

"Look, is there something shining on the tree over there?"

I don’t know if my eyes are really sharp, but neither Jessica nor Robert noticed it, but I saw a flash of light on the crown of a big tree dozens of meters away.

They looked in the direction of my gaze and seemed to have discovered the unusual flash. The flash looked a bit like the reflection of some kind of metal material. The weather today was pretty good, at least in winter.

It is not easy to see the sun. It is with the help of the reflection of the sun that I can see the ray of light reflected from the tree crown.

We walked to the tree in three steps and two steps. However, when we actually came to the tree, we seemed to be unable to see the thing we were looking at before. After all, this kind of looking back is often limited by angles.

Yes, I was lucky just now. I happened to see it in a position where I could see the reflection. Now that I'm under the tree, I can't see the reflection.

However, all three of us saw this reflection, so I was definitely not the only one who was dazzled by it. At this time, we had to find a way to get it off the tree crown.

"What should I do? Should I climb up? But I feel that with my size, the tree may not be able to support me."

Robert shook his muscles. I felt that it was indeed difficult to get up to the tree crown with his weight. However, I am not very good at climbing trees. I can't let Jessica climb the tree to get it. It would be too dangerous.

.

Just when I was hesitating, Jessica took off her coat without knowing it.

"Jessica, what do you want to do?"

When I found out, Jessica had already jumped up and climbed onto the tree trunk. I didn't expect Jessica to have such a strong figure. She looked like she had been trained professionally since she was a child.

Generally speaking, this reminds me of the heroine of an action-adventure game that I particularly liked in my previous life. Her name is Laura. Yes, Jessica looks like the one in "Tomb Raider" at this time.

The heroine Laura.

We are also from a family of adventurers, so maybe Jessica’s blood also has the same blood as Laura’s. I saw her climbing nimbly on the tree trunk. Her weight is indeed 60% compared to the two of us men.

It is relatively light, so when she climbs on the tree trunk, it does not cause much shaking of the tree trunk.

"Catch it."

Just hearing Jessica's voice came, I subconsciously reached out to pick it up. When I took a closer look at what I received in my hand, I discovered that it turned out to be a string of dozens of keys. It was surprising.

Yes, the shape of these keys does not look like modern key styles.
