Reborn My Name Is Kobe

Chapter 44: The distant past

There was an expression on Jessica's face that was difficult to detect. I didn't pay attention to it, but I just thought she might be feeling a little uncomfortable.

I took those photos out from under the projector, and when they entered the palm of my hand, I once again confirmed the idea. These photos indeed came from at least fifty years ago, and those in the photos were

The yellowing traces of time cannot be easily faked.

"Jessica, what do you know about these photos and the people in them?"

Jessica did not answer my words immediately. She gently picked up a few of the old photos, then placed the photos on the table in a certain order, and then turned the photos over one by one.

I clearly saw different letters and numbers engraved on the backs of these photos. There seemed to be some unknown connection between these letters and numbers. Could it be that these photos were processed in a specific order?

Photographed?

"Do you see the pattern between these letters and numbers?"

Jessica pointed with her hand carefully at the photos placed on the table, with a certain light shining in her eyes, as if I should know the secrets in these photos.

"I really didn't see this!"

I shook my head and further focused my attention on the letters and numbers behind these photos. However, even if there were indeed some patterns and connections among them, there was definitely no way to make a judgment based on this information alone.

of.

I also carefully turned these photos over again, hoping to compare the scenes recorded on the photos with the letters and numbers behind them one by one, so as to find out some kind of pattern hidden in them.

"Did you see it?"

Jessica asked me again, but I could only continue to shake my head slightly. I also hoped that I could immediately find out the information hidden in these photos. However, I did not seem to have the talent in this area.

In terms of strength, it is only at the level of an ordinary person.

"It's normal that you can't see it, because the letters and numbers behind these photos follow the arrangement and interpretation rules of an ancient civilization, and the interpretation of this rule has become extremely difficult. In fact, I have read it before

After reading a lot of relevant information, I found that this ancient rule has long been lost in the long river of history."

"But don't you think this is strange? If this ancient rule has really disappeared, then why can you still know that this rule existed, and how did your ancestors know this rule and still be able to pass it?

This ancient rule goes into arranging these photos."

"You're right, I shouldn't know all this. However, I do know it now, but I don't know why I know it. I just know it."

I shook my head slightly. Jessica obviously knew that what she said was very inconsistent with normal logical thinking, but I thought about it carefully and thought that the reason why Jessica said this must not be joking about my boredom.

, then there must be some reasonable explanation behind this, even if this reasonable explanation seems very unreasonable to ordinary people.

"Let's not dwell on how you know this rule for the time being. The problem now is that we must find a way to break this ancient rule before we have a chance to find out what is hidden in these photos.

's secret."

"Before today, I was very eager to know the secrets in these photos, because I felt that they were also very closely related to the disappearance of my parents, and even everything that happened around me did not exist in isolation.

There must be some clues between them that we don't understand yet and can't see that connect them all."

"Jessica, you have too many family secrets. I think the process of finding this secret may make you very unhappy, and may even put you in danger. How about finding the truth of this secret?"

Is it really that important?”

"You asked me a similar question last time, and you also know what my answer was, so please don't ask me such a question again in the future. Do you know that I might have chosen to escape in the past, but

Now I understand that I can never escape this fateful prison unless I can find the key to the door."

"Do you believe that these photos are where you find the key to the door?"

"Yes, there is no doubt about this. In fact, we don't have any clues about the letters and numbers behind these photos."

"For example?"

"You have tried just now to match the contents of these photos with the letters and numbers behind them, but it is obvious that there is no clear relationship between them that can be seen at a glance.

But our current inability to see this correlation does not prove that this correlation does not exist."

"So what do you mean?"

I was stunned by Jessica's somewhat convoluted words, and wanted to know what she meant.

"It may be that we are not looking for enough samples, or the samples themselves are missing something, whether it is the content of the photos themselves,

Or the letters and numbers written on the back of the photo, is there a possibility that the information shown in them is not complete enough."

After listening to Jessica's words, I suddenly had a feeling of enlightenment. Indeed, if the sources of information we have are incomplete in themselves, then the reasoning we base on these incomplete information

It is very debatable.

"If your reasoning is true, then which part of the information is imperfect? ​​Is there something wrong with the content of the photo itself, or is there something wrong with the letters and numbers behind the photo?"

"Because we don't understand this mysterious and ancient rule now, most of the reasoning is based on guesswork, and these reasonings will be more based on the knowledge and rules we already know, but

If this ancient rule itself is a rather subversive theory, then it is very likely that even if we have the right sources of information, we still will not be able to come up with the right answer."

"If you think about it carefully, your statement is indeed very reasonable, but if you really think about it, everything will be completely back to the starting point, because if everything we know is wrong, what a terrible thing it will be.

It’s something!”

"Right and wrong have always been just a relative concept, just like the same words in different contexts will have completely different meanings, so these ancient rules are likely to have completely different meanings at that time and today.

.”

"It seems to make sense, but it also feels like everything is a fog. It seems that the deeper I think about it, the more I find that I don't know anything. Even everything I knew before may be false and cannot be judged.

of."

"Actually, it's not that serious. Doubt itself will not bring your thinking to the edge of collapse. Whether you believe in your brain or not, it doesn't actually matter. The most important thing is that you can pass through countless

Look beyond the surface to discover the truth hidden behind the fog.”

"Then we go back to the original point and think that these photos come from your ancestors. They hide the secrets in these photos through an ancient rule that has been forgotten, and their purpose of doing this may be

In order to guide their descendants to continue to complete their unfinished work, although we still don't know exactly what these unfinished works are, and another possibility is that they just wanted to bury this information permanently in this way.

, so they did not leave enough clues for future generations to unlock these secrets."

"Your analysis is correct. There is a problem with the motives of my ancestors, because this ancient rule is not accessible to ordinary people, but I know the existence of this ancient rule very clearly for some unknown reason.

, so some information may exist in DNA genes, and these secrets themselves can be passed down through blood, so it is possible that they are not worried that their descendants will not be able to unlock these secrets, and they do not have to worry about the existence of people without blood.

You can interpret these secrets."

"Think further, did they really have enough understanding of genetic technology itself in the era they lived in, or could it be that the knowledge and information passed on to the blood genes were not completed by them, but

It goes back to much older times."

"If some information is really passed down through blood, and this inheritance comes from a very ancient era, then there must be many, many people in the world who have this blood component. I highly doubt this."

I fell silent. I couldn't find a reasonable explanation for Jessica's question. As our reasoning and thinking deepened, the mystery was not solved. Instead, it seemed like a Pandora's box had been opened, so that...

More and more puzzles popped up. At this moment, I don’t know why, but I didn’t feel scared or worried because of these difficult-to-solve puzzles. Instead, I felt like I encountered a very powerful opponent in a basketball game.

The feeling was the same, which even made me feel a little excited, and my desire to unlock this secret became stronger.

In fact, there are some things that you really can’t think about in detail. Once you think about it, you may think of some very scary things. In fact, from the very beginning, the fact that I met Jessica was filled with many incredible coincidences.

However, for a soul like me who has lost his life due to a car accident in another time and space, being reborn in Kobe Bryant in 1996 is a phenomenon that cannot be explained by science. There is no doubt that this is something related to

The world I originally lived in was very similar, but different in some subtle ways.

Many things in this world are trying to make me feel that this is no different from the world I lived in in my previous life, but there are other things that seem to be desperately trying to prove to me that this world is completely different from the world I lived in in my previous life.

World, if before I would still feel very uneasy because I had such strange thoughts, at this moment I have slowly figured it out and no longer feel that there is anything confusing about it all.

, No matter what the truth of this world is, I will face it bravely and use this life to accomplish some goals that I never thought of achieving in my previous life.

My hand gently patted Jessica's back, and she turned back and looked at me affectionately, but I could still see something else from her seemingly affectionate eyes, but I didn't

I'm too sure what these other contents are, because the feeling just faded away in a moment.

The clouds have dissipated.

I picked up an old photo and put it in the air, then tilted my head to look at the photo from a very strange angle. For a moment, I really felt like I was seeing something that didn't exist in the first place.

Regarding the things in these photos, however, they disappeared too quickly. No matter I told myself that it was just an illusion or it really existed, it would make me feel conflicted and uneasy.

At this moment, the way Jessica looked at me also changed. She seemed to see the uneasiness deep in my heart, but she was also trying her best to restrain herself from saying the words that came to her lips.

I didn't know what she wanted to say. At this moment, I seemed to see the dark shadow in the photo changing again. The blackness seemed to dissipate a little, and clear areas appeared in the originally blurry area.

outline, but this time was too short, and my brain was completely unable to obtain enough information to build a clear enough picture.

So the outline that should have been very clear now became incomplete and blurry in my mind.

"You see them changing?"

Jessica finally said the words that were stuck in her mouth. I didn't expect that she would actually do this, nor did I expect that she would find it difficult to speak because of these words before.

I thought for a moment, sighed slightly, and then said:

"Well, the picture on it has changed twice. Originally, I thought this must be the result of my hallucination. It wasn't until you asked me this just now that I felt that things were not that simple. You seemed to know this."

"I don't know that I know this. Maybe it sounds ridiculous, but there is no need for me to make such a vulgar joke. If you really see the changes in this photo, then my parents will leave before they leave."

Another thing the time told me seemed to have an explanation."

"whats the matter?"

I asked in an urgent tone.

"They told me that you are the key to solving all these mysteries. It is for this reason that I went out of my way to contact you. But you have to believe me. I really didn't want to pull you off at the beginning.

Entering the whirlpool of my life, I don’t know when I started to realize that I can no longer live without you!”

I blocked Jessica's mouth with my hands and told her not to continue talking. Then I gently took her into my arms and let her tears quietly slide down my back.

.

"Don't be stupid. Even if I know your true purpose of approaching me, I won't be angry with you. After all, my life has a lot more colors because of you. It's no longer just basketball.

I used to think basketball was my life and everything until you appeared, so please take good care of yourself. I don't want to lose something as important as basketball in my life."

"But."

"Not that much, but I will definitely help you uncover the secrets left by your parents. In fact, I don't want to know the truth behind it all."

I was hesitant to say anything. It was difficult for me to tell her the truth about my rebirth in Kobe's body. Although I had a strong urge to do so, in the end I was overwhelmed by my reason.

It was suppressed.

I carefully put the black and white photos into the projector again, and then completely blocked the projector. I no longer want to spend more energy on this matter today.

In a few hours, I will be on the plane flying to Golden State again. To be honest, in my previous life, I thought it was really fun to be an NBA star. All I had to do was play basketball for a few dozen minutes every few days.

What a wonderful thing it is to become a millionaire, multi-millionaire or even a billionaire, and to be able to fly back and forth between major cities for free!

But now I have a new feeling. In fact, when a hobby truly becomes a job, it is quite challenging in itself. The lives of NBA stars are actually cut into pieces, and the challenges they have to face are very

Many, they have to deal with things from all aspects other than basketball, and many times even basketball superstars have a lot of unknown pain and helplessness.

In the remaining few hours, I decided to enjoy this sweet world of two people with Jessica and throw away all the troubles. Jessica took out a few from somewhere at home and they looked a bit good.

The video tapes of the years.

"I have never seen these video tapes. They were all discovered when I was packing up the things left by my parents. I didn't dare to watch them alone, for fear that they would record something that was difficult for me to face.

"

"It doesn't matter, you have me by your side now. Although I also want to stop you from watching these videos now, because I just want to spend this sweet time with you that only belongs to the two of us, but I don't want to

Being so selfish, if you really want to see them, I will go see them with you."

There was a slight blush on Jessica's face, which looked like an unripe red apple, half green and half ripe.

I couldn't help but kiss her forehead again, and then reached out to take the video tapes.
