Reborn My Name Is Kobe

Chapter 37: Bloodstains

Jessica and I chatted a lot more in the evening, among which I was more interested in the past of her parents when they were young. In fact, I didn't really care about whether her parents were spies or adventurers. After all,

Everyone has the right to decide how to spend their life, especially after I regained the chance to be reborn in this life, I gained a new understanding of destiny.

If in my previous life, I would have felt more from my own perspective that some people’s life choices were strange and difficult to understand, now I will have a deeper understanding that life is only once for everyone.

, instead of living in the eyes and expectations of others, it is better to openly accept the voice from the depths of your heart and let it decide how your life should go.

I now also understand that many things in this world do not have only one possibility, and our lives do not have only one path. When everyone faces different choices, they can make something they think is right.

choices, and there is really no need for others to overly interfere or criticize their choices.

From this perspective, I understand Jessica's parents, but even so, I still feel a little pitiful for Jessica. After all, her parents have spent so little time with her since she was a child, and she has to face so much alone.

It's a challenge, but then I thought about it, isn't this very similar to Kobe's childhood experience?

Although Kobe's father has always taken Kobe with him, because they are in a foreign country, Italy, and his father needs to constantly fly between cities to play games, naturally he doesn't take much care of Kobe.

Enough, this also indirectly contributed to Kobe's later slightly withdrawn and even paranoid character.

Now when I was reborn as Kobe, and after actually playing in the NBA for more than ten games, I also realized that a professional basketball player’s time is actually very precious. If he wants to maintain a very high competitive state, then during the game

In addition, he must devote more time to training and learning.

Basketball is actually a sport that sounds simple but is actually quite complex. It is difficult for a person who only has physical talent but lacks a smart brain and good learning ability to truly become a top basketball player, and this kind of learning is often not only

Limited to those things on the basketball court, you must also learn to have various relationships with coaches, teammates, media, fans, agents, etc. Finally, you can devote the remaining energy to your relationships with others.

On the relationship between family members.

Jessica's parents didn't leave the diary they wrote to Jessica. In fact, Jessica told me that she hadn't seen the diary for many years and she didn't even know about her parents.

When did they stop recording their experiences? Or maybe it was because Jessica was getting older and wiser, so her parents deliberately hid these diaries and didn't want Jessica to know more.

More about them.

Perhaps Jessica's parents did this to protect Jessica to some extent, but for Jessica herself, this approach made her very hurt. Judging from her tone when she told me these things

Judging from her expression, she must have been hiding these things in her heart for a long time, and she has never been able to find anyone who can listen to her talk.

When I noticed that Jessica's mood had become very low, I gave up asking questions and instead tried to divert Jessica's attention to other things, such as asking her to have sex with me.

Chess.

To be honest, although I thought I was pretty good at chess in my previous life, I was repeatedly frustrated when facing Jessica. What needs to be explained is that I had absolutely no room for compromise with Jessica. Instead, I

I feel like she was merciful to me, as if she could beat me to pieces more easily if she wanted to, even though I had already lost miserably.

Only then could I see the completely relaxed smile on Jessica's face. Her smile was actually full of healing power, like the rising sun or the warm spring breeze, which made people feel happy.

My whole body feels relaxed and at ease.

This is also one of the reasons why I am fascinated by Jessica. Although I encountered all kinds of strange things during the time we were together, as long as I was with her, I would feel like myself.

My heart is full of strength. This is an indescribable feeling that I don't have at all when I am alone.

And since I learned that she is a Lakers fan, every time she comes to Staples Arena to watch me play, she can inspire me a little bit more fighting spirit, so I really feel that she is my noble person and a person.

A cute girl who deserves my love and care.

Only occasionally I can see some fleeting sadness in her eyes, and I don't know what unspeakable past is hidden deep in her heart. In fact, I don't want to understand those things, let alone

I am willing to let her reopen the scars that have already healed. In fact,

There are more or less scars deep in everyone's heart, but some people are strong enough to face it calmly, while some people are a little more fragile and need the help of others to truly be able to face it.

Open your heart, and what kind of person does Jessica belong to?

At nearly midnight, Jessica took out a bottle of old-looking red wine from somewhere. I couldn't tell anything from the slightly mysterious smile on her face, but when she blocked the

When I pulled out the cork from the red wine bottle, I was completely intoxicated by the fragrance carried by the wind.

Is this the legendary saying that if wine is not intoxicating, everyone will get drunk? Well, it doesn’t seem particularly appropriate to use this sentence like this. I just want to say that the smell of this wine is so special and so intoxicating that it doesn’t even exist at all.

You don't need to actually drink the wine to feel intoxicated.

Don't think I'm exaggerating when I say this. It's really not an exaggeration at all. Of course, I have never seen such a fragrant red wine before, and when I actually poured the bright red wine down my throat,

That kind of fragrance floated upwards along my respiratory tract, and it seemed like a lush grape planting field appeared in front of my eyes. Those plump grapes grew vigorously under the care of the bright sunshine and drizzle.

“How can you tell which year this wine is from?”

I shook my head and looked at the smile on Jessica's face and involuntarily raised the corners of my mouth.

"This wine must have an extraordinary origin. Well, let me make a guess. This wine is probably not produced in the United States. I feel that there is no place in the United States that can produce such a fragrant wine and breed such a top-notch wine.

The place should be on the Mediterranean coast of Europe, where only the special Mediterranean climate makes it possible."

"It seems that you still know something about wine, but you will definitely not be able to guess the origin of this wine. There is even a touching love story in it!"

Jessica held the wine bottle in her right hand and kept shaking it in front of my eyes, as if waiting for me to say something.

"This wine is as red as blood, and the feeling in the mouth spreads to the entire brain. I guess this love story is probably a tragedy."

"Hey, I didn't expect you to guess it right. You are right. This wine feels like blood and love. It is sweet but also tragic. So are you willing to live a normal life?

Do you still want to live this life vigorously?"

I stared closely at Jessica's eyes, trying to see from those beautiful eyes the reason why she asked this question, but I failed. Her eyes became deeper and deeper. I admit that I became more and more

It became increasingly difficult to see clearly the meaning hidden behind it, so I was silent for a moment, and kept asking myself this question deep in my heart.

Of course, I knew that if it were Kobe, I would definitely choose the latter without hesitation. However, with the experience and memories of my previous life, I hesitated a little. It’s not that I don’t want to make my life spectacular, but some of the things in my previous life.

My experience makes me hesitate, because I know that the price that needs to be paid behind the vigorous work is often not small.

Seeing that I didn't speak for a long time, Jessica didn't continue to ask questions, but filled the empty wine glass with some blood-red wine again.

There are fine wines and beautiful women. Logically speaking, this is a very wonderful moment, but there are too many distracting thoughts in my heart interfering with my thoughts. I feel that I really cannot be as firm and decisive as the real Kobe.

"Which answer do you think your parents chose?"

I don’t know why I asked such a meaningless question, but Jessica’s expression suddenly changed a lot after hearing my question.

As if she suddenly remembered something, she hurriedly put the wine glass in her hand on the table, then took my hand and walked into the room.

I was also frightened by Jessica's sudden behavior, especially her eyes that really changed at any time, but at the moment I didn't ask any more questions, I just followed Jessica into a room that was completely blocked before.

Get up room.

I had seen before that the door handle of this room was equipped with a large lock. I also specifically asked Jessica what was hidden in this room, but she was always very quick.

He just steered the conversation in another direction, unwilling to let me know the true purpose of this room.

But at this time, she took the initiative to open the room, and the key to open the room was actually hidden in one of her earrings. It was an object much smaller than a small fingernail, but it could

Use as a key.

When the door that had been closed for who knows how long was opened, the dust on the pavement came towards us. At some point, a strong flashlight appeared in Jessica's hand. This flashlight looked like

It didn't look like a civilian flashlight, it was either a military one or a flashlight used by some special field expedition organizations, and I didn't think much about it. I thought this flashlight should be left by Jessica's parents.

After all, they will definitely use these equipment when venturing out all year round.

The light of this flashlight is so penetrating that even the thick dust coming from the sky cannot block its light. What surprised me was that what was behind this door was not a normal room at all, but

A long staircase leading to somewhere underground.

The beam of this kind of flashlight can shine for a long distance, but when Jessica was shining down, I couldn't see the end at all. God knows how long this step leading deep underground is.

I shivered for no reason, and I didn’t know if it was because there was a gust of cold wind blowing from under the steps. Before I had time to think carefully about why the wind was blowing under the steps, Jessica

He was already pulling me to go down.

Seeing Jessica's expressionless face, I felt that I must have been to this place before. Thinking of this, I felt a little less nervous. I thought that this place should be in the basement of Jessica's house.

Kind of place.

The distance between these steps is relatively short, and after all, my feet are much larger than ordinary people, so when I go down this step, I am not as flexible and light as Jessica, and I don’t dare to walk too fast. God knows the steps on these steps.

Is there some debris hidden in some places? If I trip here, I don’t know how long it will take to roll down to the end. I don’t want to end the season outside the basketball court!

Every time we walk a certain distance, a weak light will automatically light up on both sides of the passage in front, and the light behind us will go out. It seems that there should be sensors on the steps under our feet.

Probably because of the switch.

In fact, the steps were not as long as I had expected, but I roughly estimated that we should have descended to an area five meters below Jessica's previous house. I don't know why someone would build a basement so deep.

place, how much more manpower and material resources this will cost!

"Jessica, where is this place?"

I looked around at everything, and I felt that the underground room was a bit huge and a bit crowded. All kinds of things I had never seen before were neatly placed on various high and low shelves. If

At first glance, it may seem like nothing, but if you really get closer and look at each item carefully, you will find that the items placed on these shelves have some origins!

"These are things passed down from my ancestors. There are too many of them, so each one will be specially numbered, and the origin and story of each one will be recorded in a very big book."

"So your ancestors have always been adventurers, collecting all kinds of precious cultural relics from all over the world?"

"It can be said that, but it cannot be said completely, because in fact, in the nearly one hundred years before my parents' generation, our family has not produced any real explorers, and my parents actually have no real explorers.

We can fully call them explorers, because their behavior is different from that of our ancestors!"

I'm not surprised by the differences Jessica said. After all, the history of the United States lasts only two to three hundred years. Her ancestors must have lived in a chaotic era. At that time, the world's colonial rule was still

Popular, the so-called explorers are also a kind of foreign invaders in a sense, and the cultural relics they collected cannot naturally be obtained through normal channels, so there are often people behind these precious cultural relics.

Hidden unknown and bloody past.

However, I don't care about what Jessica's ancestors did. I just want to know why Jessica brought me here now?

"What did you think of? Why did you bring me here."

"Don't worry, you will understand it when the time is right. Even if I want to explain to you now, you may not be able to understand the real reason."

"You can give it a try. Please don't underestimate my IQ so much!"

"This is not a matter of IQ or not, but, well, since you want to know so much, I will tell you something simpler and easier to understand first."

"All ears."

"I saw my parents for the last time half a year ago. Since then, I have never received any news about them. In the past, no matter how long they left, they would send some news to my family at least every one to two months.

Letters or small things to prove that they are still living well outside."

"But they stopped sending you letters after that, right?"

"Yes, I had a bad premonition before they left, and I tried desperately to keep them. I even threatened them by slitting my wrists and committing suicide."

Jessica took off the jade bracelet she wore on her left wrist. I could clearly see a long scar on her wrist. No wonder she kept wearing this bracelet. It turned out to be a shield.

What a sign of suicide!

"Oh my God, you did this but they still cruelly left you. Why do you have such terrible parents?"

"Actually, maybe these are not options that they can choose. I didn't understand it before, until they left me the key to this room before they left. I have come down alone several times before, but what I found here is not the answer.

, but more and more secrets and questions.”

"I think so. Anyone who sees so many things with countless historical deposits will deeply feel the weight of history."

"Have you ever heard of bloodstains?"

Jessica suddenly said such an inexplicable word, which made me look at her with my eyes wide open.

"Forget it, I'm a bit of an idiot for asking this. How could you possibly know? It's something that shouldn't exist in this world!"

"What are you talking about! Jessica, Jessica!"

"Don't worry, my mind is very clear now, more sober than ever before."
