Reborn My Name Is Kobe

There are less than three minutes left in the game. Our Lakers are still leading the SuperSonics by about eight points. This point difference has been maintained here for a long time. The SuperSonics really want to take this advantage.

The score difference was brought back, but it was never done, which shows that it is not easy to bring back the score difference.

Our Lakers team has completely improved our competitive state in the last few minutes. We must win today's game no matter what.

Because tomorrow we will go to the home court of the Utah Jazz to play back-to-back away games. The last time we played there, we lost miserably. It was also a back-to-back game. I really don’t know how these officials planned the matchup this season.

table.

When our Lakers face a team as strong as the Jazz, why do we always have back-to-back away games? It’s really unfair. To be honest, even if we play against the Jazz at our home court, we may not be able to win, let alone

It's back-to-back away games.

Part of the reason for the last game may be that Shaq and other Lakers players stayed up a little too late at night, which led to a relatively large decline in competitive status the next day, but even if this didn't happen this time

In this situation, it may not be possible to beat the Utah Jazz, at least that's what I think.

Because the Utah Jazz is really much stronger than expected. It’s not just because we can’t beat the Lakers in back-to-back away games, but because their tactics and staffing are more restrained than our Lakers. In addition, they are really

We are a team with very clear tactics, strong execution by the players, and a very tough coach.

It is even said that the defending champion Chicago Bulls only opened 50-50 against them, and it is entirely possible that they cannot beat them.

So we definitely have to win today's game. As for tomorrow's game, the head coach may choose to give up directly. I even doubt that Shaq will not play in the game against the Utah Jazz tomorrow at all.

Because before today's game started, during our team training in the afternoon, Shaq seemed to have already let slip. He seemed to have made it clear that he would not participate in the game against the Utah Jazz tomorrow.

For a player with Shaq's weight and a certain risk of injury, resting is actually quite normal. Although resting is not as common in this era as it was in later leagues, after all, Shaq has always been

I kind of like to take rotational rest, but there is nothing I can do about it.

In the last three minutes of the game, time seemed to pass very slowly. The three minutes seemed to last at least a quarter of an hour. In the end, neither team was willing to lose the game.

We, the Lakers, have been leading the whole game, and of course we are not willing to spit out the duck in our mouths. The Sonics have not given up their efforts. They have been at a disadvantage throughout the game.

, but he has always been extremely tenacious.

To be honest, our record at home this season is indeed very good, but in fact, winning a few games was quite thrilling. Several teams performed extremely tenaciously in our home games and created great difficulties for us.

.

The one that impressed me the most was probably the last game we played at home against the Houston Rockets. The Houston Rockets had a pretty bad home atmosphere, but they performed very well when they played away games.

I think Houston fans have to bear some responsibility for this, after all, everyone is watching their performance at home.

Shaq's free throw shooting rate in today's game was very poor, so at the last moment, the SuperSonics decisively used Shaq's shark-cutting tactics. Moreover, at this time, Shaq's free throw shooting rate was still not high. At most, it was just

One of two free throws is made, and more often two free throws are missed.

This gives our Lakers head coach Silver Fox Harris a headache off the court, and he is unwilling to substitute Shaq. After all, his deterrence in the interior is still very huge, especially at this time when he is in the interior.

His defensive contribution is actually very large, because the opponent's inside line actually has a strong scoring ability, so if he takes the risk of substituting Shaq off the court, it is likely to give the opponent a great opportunity.

Now he can only gamble, bet that the opponent's shooting percentage is not high, and bet that Shaq can make a few more free throws.

In the end, Silver Fox Harris made the right bet. It wasn't that Shaq's shooting percentage went up, but that the Lakers' defense had a good effect, making it difficult for the Sonics to get easy scoring opportunities.

After all, we are still leading by seven or eight points, but time is getting shorter and shorter. In addition, the Sonics did not take many three-pointers in this game, and their shooting percentage is not high. If there are no consecutive three-pointers

If you hit, it's really not that easy to chase points.

It's strange to say that the Sonics' outside players seemed particularly hesitant when they took action today. I don't know what they were hesitating about. After all, our Lakers' defense was somewhat shrinking at the beginning, which gave them a good

There are outside opportunities, but they don't dare to take action, so that our defense can keep shrinking to the inside, making the Sonics' offense more difficult.

Haven't they discovered this problem? Is it because their head coach is too inferior, or is there something wrong with their players when executing tactics?

I have no way of knowing these things. In short, we are still shrinking in defense, but we dare not give the Sonics a three-point chance. After all, they are likely to risk using three-pointers to chase points. We still

It would be better if you try not to give them such an opportunity.

If the Sonics didn't shoot a three-pointer at this time, they would have almost no chance, so in the end they chose to shoot a three-pointer. With more than a minute left before the end of the game, the opponent actually made a three-pointer.

It was made against Eddie Jones's defense. The most important thing is that the ball was fouled.

Eddie Jones was extremely shocked. He looked at the referee with a confused face. He usually didn't like to complain about the referee's players, but now he couldn't help it.

Let me hear your explanation.

The fans around the stadium suddenly fell silent, and then there were bursts of boos. These boos could be said to have flooded the entire stadium at once. This feeling was really a bit too weird.

But then the Sonics completed free throws, and our Lakers' lead was only three points.

At this time, head coach Silver Fox Harris had to call a timeout. There was only about one minute left before the end of the game. At this time, the Sonics, who had not made a three-pointer in the entire game, made one.

Three plus one, this is like a shot of chicken blood for the Sonics, and more like a wake-up call for us, the Lakers. Now we can only find a way to stabilize the situation in the last minute.

.

Of course, at critical moments, we generally have more players who can score than the Sonics. This is really a good thing for us. In this way, we actually still have a certain amount of points.

We have the initiative, but we cannot hope to preserve this three-point advantage until the end of the game.

We definitely cannot defend the advantage. We must take the initiative, score quickly, and widen the point difference before the opponent's defense has been established. Only in this way can we win this game.

Victory is truly in your own hands.

During the timeout, head coach Silver Fox Harris also told us a lot about these aspects. The most important point is to let us stabilize the rhythm of the game, don't panic, don't be chaotic, and play how we want to play.

The Lakers will definitely be able to win the final victory.

Although it has to be said that head coach Silver Fox Harris is really not particularly good at psychological mobilization, but in general, his statement is quite correct. In the next game, we just need to stabilize our position.

, the victory of the game will belong to us sooner or later.

After the timeout, we served the ball. There was still one minute and 20 seconds before the end of the game. I slowly advanced to the frontcourt with the ball, and at this time, the Sonics started to double-team me in advance.

Their double-teaming speed is very fast, and they are also very defensive against other teammates. If I pass the ball rashly, I may make a mistake, so I can't pass the ball at will at this time. The best way is

Or look for an opportunity to attack.

I found that the players they sent out to double-team me were all inside players. They wanted to use taller players to block my line of sight, so that I had no line of sight when passing the ball, and it was easy for me to make passing mistakes.

Although this idea is quite good, it is obviously a bit too underestimated of my personal strength. If it were anyone else, I would probably be caught by his tactics, but I am not that easy.

were defeated by them.

Next, I used a direct turn on the spot and got rid of them directly. After all, they were inside players, so it was a bit difficult to catch up with my speed.

At this time, I rushed directly towards their empty inside line, and the opponent's small guard blocked me between me and the basket. Generally, I will not flinch when faced with such a defense. This

The small guard was actually Gary Payton. I saw his eyes were not very friendly, as if I couldn't possibly get past his defense.

However, my choice also surprised him. I faced him directly and took off in front of him. At this time, I only took one step to the free throw line. Did I take off at this time to dunk from such a distance?

Gary Payton was obviously a little surprised, but I obviously didn't shoot the ball for a dunk or layup. I just made a fake move. The real move was a fadeaway jumper. It was just a hesitation of less than a second that allowed Gary Payton to do it.

Suddenly, the last chance to defend me was lost.

It is impossible for me to give up such a good offensive opportunity. As long as there is such a small opportunity, I can seize it and give my opponent a huge blow.

My goal is very critical, because there is only the last minute left at this time, and if we lead by five points instead of three points, the opponent will have no way to chase the point difference within one round.

Came up.

This is a very important point, because once there is not enough time for them to chase points, they will need to use foul tactics. However, we can no longer put Shaq on the court at this time. They are likely to use shark-cutting tactics again.

.

After I made this shot, the other side called another timeout. At this time, both of us had one timeout left. The last two or three minutes could actually last a long time, even longer than imagined.

Much longer.

During this timeout, head coach Silver Fox Harris rearranged the tactics again, which were somewhat different from the previous arrangements. After all, our tactics were exposed in the round just now, and now we have temporarily changed the tactics.

At the same time, it is also an advance tactical adjustment in response to the possible tactical changes of the opponent.

To be honest, Silver Fox Harris is really good at making tactical arrangements and arranging tactics in advance. His temporary changes to the opponent's tactics may not be seen by many head coaches.

, but here it is very clear.

It should be said that his brain is relatively clear when making tactical arrangements.

The timeout ended quickly, and after the timeout came back, we started to make some tactical adjustments on the court. I just don’t know if the tactical arrangements of the opposing Sonics team have really been given by head coach Silver Fox Harris.

See it through.

Of course, the results of all this will be known once we go to the field and play.

After returning from the timeout, the Sonics did not immediately speed up the tempo of the game. Obviously this ball is very critical for them. They must consider the success rate and do not dare to take risks to attack. Once a situation arises,

If they are unable to score this goal, it will inevitably lead to them being completely passive in the next game.

The time has entered within one minute. If they score this goal, whether it is two points or three points, then they will still have the opportunity to chase points. If

If they can't score this goal, basically their chances in this game will be slim.

It is for this reason that we are very serious when defending this ball and do not dare to let them get a better chance. As long as we can defend this ball, then we will definitely win this game.

victorious.

The opponent still used Gary Payton and Shawn Kemp to perform inside and outside pick-and-rolls. Sean Kemp did not cut inside immediately after the pick-and-roll, because our current defense is actually quite contracted, which makes the Sonics in the pick-and-roll.

There will be some concerns when choosing where to focus your attack.

Now it depends on whether they dare to gamble on another wave of three-pointers. They made a very crucial three-plus-one before, but now the pressure is back on them. Do they really dare to take this shot again?

Three-pointers are a big problem.

I saw Shawn Kemp walking outside the three-point line. I don't know if this is a tactical arrangement of theirs, but what is certain is that Shaq will definitely let Shawn Kemp go directly.

Sure enough, when Shawn Kemp finally appeared outside the three-point line, Shaq did not pursue him. If he really dared to shoot a three-pointer at this time, then he would be really good.

Gary Payton passed the ball to Shawn Kemp outside the three-point line without hesitation. At this time, tens of thousands of fans in the audience and many players on the scene were holding their breath to watch the game.

At this time, any breathing sound seems to be much louder. This tense and exciting feeling is really impressive.

In the end, Shawn Kemp really shot the three-pointer, but unfortunately, he failed to hit the three-pointer.

However, everything happened too fast. Shaq didn't have time to grab the rebound. The three-pointer rebounded relatively far, so Shawn Kemp grabbed the rebound and rushed to the inside.

At this time, Shaq finally reacted, and knocked Shawn Kemp to the ground with a bloody blow from the front. It was really exciting, and the referee whistled Shaq for a foul at this time.

However, Shaq was quite excited. He stared at Shawn Kemp who was lying on the ground and flexed his muscles, as if he was telling him that he was the most powerful person and that Shawn Kemp was just a waste.

Shawn Kemp had no choice. His personality is actually the kind of person who is not afraid of anything, but when he met Shaq, who was a lot older than him, Shawn Kemp had to give in.

Because after all, his character is not as extreme as Barkley or Rodman.

As a result, the fans on the sidelines made happy sounds. Although Shaq committed a foul, this ball completely brought out the momentum of our Lakers team, making the fans present feel that it was worth the ticket price.

Sean Kemp then made two free throws, and the score between the two sides returned to three points.

The last two minutes were really too intense. I didn’t know how long I had been playing. Then I took the ball and moved it to the frontcourt. There was still half a minute before the end of the game. If I had this ball

If time runs out, the Sonics will only have one offensive opportunity.

So as long as I can hit this attack and run out the time, the victory of this game is basically guaranteed.

At this time, I felt the enthusiasm of the fans in Staples Arena. Their enthusiasm was about to melt me ​​completely. I really love this city and the city.

The fans in the team are so cute and comfortable. I know they also love our Lakers team and every player on our Lakers team.

At this moment, a wave of warm blood slowly spread from my whole body, and time seemed to slow down in my mind. I seemed to have entered a state similar to bullet time.

Went.

I don’t know what words I should use to describe what I am experiencing now, because it is so amazing, like I am dreaming, or a scene in a movie, in short, everything seems so amazing.

It's not true. Under this situation, my thoughts slowly changed.

I know that soon I will be able to attack in a better state. Under normal circumstances, when I enter this state, the opponent has no way to stop me.

Gary Payton came out to force the ball from me now, but they did not dare to double-team me too violently because they had already reached the number of fouls, and they were unwilling to foul the ball, so they could only let Gary Payton

Press me closely and hope I can make some low-level mistakes.

But for me, it is not an easy thing to make such a serious mistake. Soon I felt the blood completely filling my body. In this state, even someone like Gary Payton

I'm afraid even the top defenders can't really guard me.

I still have some self-confidence in this regard, hahahaha, so what if I am self-confident? Is there any big way the other side can take advantage of me?

To be honest, there is nothing I can do. On the other side, at least judging from the current situation, Gary Payton dares to defend me a little more intensely, but he also doesn't dare to push me too hard.

At this time, I felt that my heart was beating slower, and Gary Payton's movements also became slow motion in my eyes. I just had to follow my own feelings and play ball.

I first dribbled with a cross-step outside the three-point line, but I didn't dare to be too fancy with my dribbling, because Gary Payton's hand speed was very fast and he was very aggressive on the defensive end, so he could easily intercept the ball.

The ball came from me, so I actually didn't dare to show too much confidence in front of him.

In fact, my normal dribbling couldn't directly get past Gary Payton's glove-like defense, but he saw that time was running out at this time, so he became more and more aggressive in defense.

, and the more aggressive he is defensively, the greater the chances he will actually bring to me.

I'm really afraid that his defense will be motionless, so it will be difficult for me to judge where his defense focus is.

In fact, this kind of mutual game between the top players is completed in an instant, and sometimes the simpler the game seems to you, the more it contains a lot of details that ordinary people can't imagine, and

Our current situation is like this. It's hard for you to see any clues from our laning. That's because you can't think about these offensive and defensive issues like those of us who have experienced it personally.

Gary Payton was a little too calm about my defense. He actually hoped that I would not run out of time. Finally, his move to grab the ball gave me a relatively big opportunity. I did not expect him.

After enduring it for so long, at this last moment I couldn't bear it anymore.

And I have been waiting for him for more than ten seconds. If he makes no move, I will be the first to attack. Sometimes when masters compete, it is not necessarily who strikes first and who has the upper hand. This

There are many, many different things in it, and there is no way to explain them clearly in just a few sentences. In many cases, it takes the players' own experience to judge what kind of situation it is.

And this time, because Gary Payton lost his defensive position, I got a good offensive opportunity and rushed directly into the SuperSonics' interior. The SuperSonics' interior defense was also full at this time. Originally,

Sean Kemp, who is not particularly good at defense, was staring at me from the inside with a rather fierce look.

But I won't be afraid of the opponent's seemingly brutal defense, at least not now.

When I rushed inside, I saw Shawn Kemp jumping high, as if he wanted to jump over my head. However, I used a European step for this breakthrough.

In this era, there were not many NBA players who were proficient in using the European Cup, so when I used the European Cup, the opposing defensive players were a little stupid.

However, Sean Kemp's athletic ability is so strong. After he jumped up, he blocked my way forward. Even after using the European step, there was no way to directly pass through his defense. In the end

All he could do was use a small throw and throw the ball.

This goal is also very critical. If it can be scored, our victory in this game has been determined. But if it is not scored, the Sonics still have a chance.

In the end, the ball still went in. I saw Shawn Kemp's eyes full of despair and unwillingness, as if he thought he had a chance to cover me.

I admit that his athletic ability is very amazing, and the height after jumping is also very scary, but the arc of my projectile is also specially adjusted. If he can still block my ball, I will

There really isn't much more to say, because it can only be said to be incredible.

Next, the Sonics called a timeout again. This was their last timeout of the game. In fact, they didn't have many opportunities during this timeout. They fell behind by five points in less than 20 seconds.

After we come back, we will either shoot a three-pointer or a quick two-pointer, and then immediately foul on the spot. Then we will make free throws. If we lead them by four points in the end, the game will be over.

In fact, they still have a slight theoretical chance to recover it, but it is only a theoretical possibility.

I can already tell from the expressions on their players' faces that they are all a little frustrated, while the faces of our Lakers players look quite happy.

During the timeout, our Lakers players were very happy, as if the victory was already within our grasp and the rest was very simple.

After returning from the timeout, the Sonics were still prepared to score two points quickly, and then find a way to counterattack on the spot.

Their tactics were quite successful. They scored two points quickly and less than three seconds passed. Then our Lakers didn't call a timeout and just handed the ball out.

I didn't move after receiving the ball and waited for the Sonics to foul me. However, they didn't seem to have any intention of fouling me and instead started to counterattack me on the spot.

Gary Payton didn't care about any fouls or big moves at this time, and immediately came over to me.

Facing Gary Payton's terrifying appearance, I was not afraid, but let myself relax a little.

To be honest, my current psychological quality is really relatively good. There were many games this season that relied on my outstanding performance to win the game at critical moments.

The more critical moments like this I experience, the more confident I become and the more I am able to deal with such situations calmly.

In the end, Gary Payton was unable to steal the ball from my hands, and he had no choice but to foul.

At this time, there are less than 8 seconds left in the game. I have to make two free throws. If I make one free throw, the difference will be 4 points. And if they don't pause at this time, there is no way to arrange tactics.

Next it was time to test my free throw shooting skills.

However, this season my free throw shooting percentage is close to 90%, and my free throw shooting at critical moments has always been very stable.

But what I didn't expect this time was that my first free throw went out, and all the fans in the Staples Arena fell silent.

It seemed as if something terrible had happened, but I immediately adjusted my mentality and made the second free throw steadily into the basket.

In this way, our Lakers' lead has reached 4 points. If the SuperSonics cannot score four points in one offense, we will win.

Therefore, in order to avoid the opponent's three plus one situation, we did not defend their attack at all this time.

When the Sonics made their last three-pointer, I knew the game was over.

During the reporter's interview at that time, the reporter asked a lot of questions about my mental state when I missed the free throw.

I can only tell them truthfully that my mentality was quite stable at that time, because my psychological quality was so good in this situation, just like it was in the critical moments of some previous games, regardless of the situation at the time.

No matter how bad it is, I feel very calm inside because I have such a big heart.

My speech today does not seem very modest, but in American culture, a confident speech like this can gain more favor from the media, so they seem to think that there is nothing wrong with what I said, because I have said it before

His performance is indeed what I said now, he has a big heart.

After the game ends tonight, we still need to catch an early morning flight to the Utah Plateau. Because tomorrow's game is still relatively early, it is difficult to guarantee our rest time today.

And after I took a shower, Jessica and I didn’t go for supper anymore. We planned to have something to eat directly on the plane later. Jessica and I still booked the plane by ourselves and did not take the ball.

The team’s special plane.

Although I know that my privilege seems a bit uncomfortable, Americans are actually very tolerant of these things. Unlike the country where I lived in my previous life, many people would specifically talk about these things and then make them

It makes you feel quite uncomfortable.

At least in these aspects, the United States is indeed more advanced in terms of human rights, and will have more freedom and protection for some individuals' private rights.

This may also be one of the charms of this country. Of course, no matter which country it is, it will have its advantages and disadvantages. Compared with the country in my previous life, the United States has advantages and disadvantages, and the disadvantages are actually not the same.

few.

In fact, everyone and every country will have their own advantages and disadvantages, but it is best to look at these things rationally and objectively, and not to be biased against these things because of your own emotions.

That was really not a good thing. Jessica and I first returned to her home. We both had a passionate moment while we had feelings, and then watched half of the movie for a while, and then we

Went out to the airport.

After eight or nine o'clock in the evening, the traffic situation in Los Angeles is indeed slightly better than during the day, but there are still some areas where traffic jams exist, which also shows how exciting the nightlife of this city is.

Rich, many people choose to go out to have their own nightlife at night.

Of course, the nightlife in this city is indeed great, but you should not be too indulged in it. After all, many things are too much and too little. For a professional player like me, self-discipline is actually quite important.

Not everyone can have the enviable super physical fitness like Shaq. More people have to work hard to maintain their relatively good physical condition.

There is no doubt about this. Jessica and I took a taxi to the airport. After all, we both had to board the plane, and the parking fee at the airport was not cheap, so we usually took a taxi when we went out.

In a city like Los Angeles with extremely convenient transportation, you don’t need to worry about not being able to find a taxi, especially on such a charming night, there are many taxi drivers who will even drive all night long.

of.

During this period of time, when we took a taxi, we would have some exchanges with the driver and exchange information on various situations in the city. Whether it was in Los Angeles or other away cities where we played games, I felt that there were many

All drivers know a lot of things that most people don't know, which is very valuable.

In fact, we used to ask the driver about Sir Faustin’s Manor in taxis, but most local taxi drivers in Los Angeles didn’t know it. Or some people actually knew about Sir Faustin’s Manor, but because of a certain

For some reasons, they did not dare to tell us about Sir Faustin's Manor. In fact, it was not easy for us to ask too deeply. After all, what happened there was indeed quite weird, and people would have questions about that place.

Some taboos are also very normal.

I don’t know why I want to discuss Sir Faustin’s estate with this taxi driver today.

The strange thing is that today our taxi driver seems to be elderly. He seems to really know something about Sir Faustin's manor, and he actually started chatting with us about some things he heard when he was young.

"I'll tell you the truth, when I was your age twenty years ago, I was full of all kinds of curiosity about the world. I just liked to go to places with special stories all day long.

, I was not a taxi driver at that time, and I had several friends who were compatible with me. We actually went to the manor of Sir Faustin you mentioned. You don’t know, that manor is quite big.

Weird, as to why it’s weird, can you guess?”

"I'm not sure, but I heard from a friend of mine that the manor has recently been developed into a haunted house attraction, and it seems to have attracted a lot of people to visit!"

"How is it possible? Don't lie to me. That manor has been completely sealed off since that incident happened more than ten years ago. I was still there when the manor was sealed off. How could there be a general?

It was developed into a haunted house attraction. It looks very similar to a haunted house, but as an attraction, I’m afraid no one will think that it would be a wonderful experience to go inside.”

"Really? You said that the manor was completely sealed off more than ten years ago? But we actually went there not long ago and encountered many strange things!"

"What? Did you really go in there? Oh my God! Do you know what a terrible thing you are getting into?"

The taxi driver's voice suddenly became completely different. It felt like it was full of some kind of fear, but there was something unclear in it. I looked back at Jessica's eyes,

She also seemed to be puzzled by the driver's strange behavior.

"Yeah, you still don't believe me? Let me tell you, I was a well-known figure in Los Angeles when I was young. If I hadn't gotten into that nightmare that I couldn't get rid of, how could I have ended up where I am today?

Driving a taxi all night makes me cry just talking about it. You young people just can’t take the wrong path. Life is very short. If you make the wrong choice at a critical node, you will have to spend your whole life.

It’s time to pay for your wrong choices.”

"Well, what you said is very reasonable, and we have all remembered it, but we have indeed been to Sir Faustin's manor, more than once, probably four times, and you

Needless to say, we have made many different discoveries during these four visits to this manor, but what should I say? We have discovered more and more secrets about it, and many of them have begun to become incompatible with common sense.

."

"Haha, young people, you are too young to know life and death, right? Let me tell you, that manor is not haunted, but is controlled by aliens. Those aliens are doing some things inside.

Horrible experiments, some of which use living people as guinea pigs, you don’t know what you found under the ground of that manor!"

"What happened back then? Why do you feel like this when you mention it? To be honest, it's a little hard for me to understand."

"Hey, you don't know. Back then, a huge corpse pit was discovered under the manor. It must have contained the remains of hundreds of thousands of dead people. However, most of the dead people died thousands of years ago.

Before, but think about it, why did that manor have to be built on such a mass grave?"

"I admit that there are some problems with the location of Sir Faustin's manor, but just because a mass grave was discovered, the manor was completely sealed off? But why is no one taking care of it now?

?”

"Hey, there are some things that you won't understand. Only people who came from our era will understand the horror of it. You young people think about things too simply. Think about it, why is that manor

It was eventually sealed off, of course because something else happened, and I can’t tell you what it was specifically.”

"Master, if you want us to give you money and you are willing to tell us, just ask for the price. You should exchange some money for such a secret. If you really discovered some of them when you were young,

Secret, I hope you can tell us, this is really important to us."

I spoke in a very sincere tone, but the taxi driver's face was still full of hesitation, as if it was really difficult to convince himself to tell me the secret.

"Hey, this is really not a question of money. Of course, if you are willing to give it, give me a thousand dollars and I will tell you all the secrets about there."

In fact, one thousand dollars is not a small amount, but in the end Jessica and I discussed it and felt that if the clues provided by the driver were worth the price, we would still give it.

"Yes, but we can only pay you half of the money first, and we can't give you the rest until you tell the secret."

After saying that, I handed five hundred dollars to the taxi driver. His eyes lit up when he saw the money. It could be seen that his life has indeed been difficult these years. If he really fell into trouble because of the manor,

If he ends up like this, it wouldn't be a bad idea to give him a little more money, just as atonement for the manor.

"Well, now that you've all said it, I won't continue to hide your reasons. You have gone in there four times, so you must have discovered that you will encounter it every time you go in.

Something different, because the four manors you entered were not real manors, but the manors those people wanted you to see."

"What? Are you saying that the four times we went there were not real manors?"

"Yes, I didn't lie to you, because since you have been there four times, you must have a reason not to go. I don't want to know these reasons, but I am sure that you are closely connected with this manor.

Now that we're together, you can't escape this fate."

"What kind of concept do you mean by fate?"

"What is fate? Fate is fate. It is the fate that you cannot change no matter how hard you try. Don't believe what I say. I will ask you a question. Do you think that no matter how hard you go, you can't change it?"

How many times have new and unexplained problems arise?"

"That's what it looks like!"

"That's right, because your every move has been under their control for a long time, and they can control where you go every time. They can let you see whatever they want you to see. All of this is

A trap, think about it again, was it a coincidence when you first went there?"
