Reborn My Name Is Kobe

Chapter 45: The World in Videotape

After I took these video tapes from Jessica, I did not put them into the video recorder immediately. Instead, I repeatedly observed some traces left on these video tapes.

But in the end, I still found that I couldn't judge the exact recording time of these video tapes. Although they seemed to have obvious marks left by the years on their surface, I still needed to watch the content recorded inside.

Only then can I make a more accurate judgment.

"Jessica, have you really thought about watching these tapes now?"

"Well, I have been hesitating whether to watch these videos before, but as time goes by, I find that even if I choose to avoid certain truths, it will not help. In the end, I still need to face all this bravely. Since my parents

There must be a reason for leaving these tapes to me."

I nodded slightly, and then decisively put the video tape into the VCR. At this time, the TV set in Jessica's home was still a black and white TV produced in the late 1980s and early 1990s, and the size was only 21 inches.

That's all.

After the videotape was put into the video recorder, I took Jessica to the sofa behind and sat down, ready to quietly look at everything recorded in the videotape.

However, a black and gray picture that lasted for more than a minute appeared on the TV screen, but I am sure that this was not because the video tape was not played correctly, because during this process I could clearly hear the sound coming from the TV

There is a sound similar to the call of a parrot. Everyone should know that some parrots can learn human speech, and these parrot calls coming from the TV contain some very obvious imitations of parrots.

human voice.

Jessica stared at me with some fear at this time. I gently patted her shoulder to signal her not to be afraid. After this short but long minute finally passed, the picture on the TV suddenly jumped.

We arrived at a very spacious room.

However, I am still not sure whether this room belongs to an ordinary private house or some factory building, because the shooting angle is from top to bottom, similar to the angle of the camera lens, but I think this era or this set

There probably weren't many cameras in the era when the video was taken, and it was obvious that the camera lens was shaking slightly, and it felt like someone was standing somewhere on the roof with a camera and filming down.

Because of the shooting distance, the entire viewing angle is not very wide. The area in the picture does not exceed more than ten square meters at most, and there are no stone tiles or wooden floors on the ground that are placed in ordinary families. Instead,

It's like some kind of strange metal with a special material, but it doesn't have the obvious luster like ordinary metal.

Jessica and I held our breaths and focused on the pictures on the TV. There were still faint sounds of parrots in the background, but the sounds were fainter than at the beginning, and seemed to be getting louder and louder.

The voice became shriller, and it even began to no longer sound like a parrot's voice, but more like the high-pitched voice of a very young girl.

Thinking of the high-pitched voice, Jessica and I couldn't help but look at each other. From each other's eyes, we both read the meaning. Yes, this voice was the same as the one we heard on the second floor staircase of the haunted house before.

It sounds like that high-pitched sound I heard.

But I haven't been able to completely confirm that the guy who made this sound was the one who made this sound in the haunted house at that time. After all, we actually didn't find the owner of this sound in the haunted house at that time. The feeling it gave me at the time

He is just staying in a dark corner and spying on us, but when we want to find him, there is nothing we can do.

This is really a very scary situation. If this guy really existed around us at the time, but we couldn't see it, then it doesn't belong to this world at all.

I immediately forced myself to give up this idea and told myself that there are no ghosts in this world, let alone things we can’t see. If I had to find a reasonable explanation, I would rather believe that it was a haunted house.

The staff deliberately placed a miniature recorder in a dark corner. When someone walked to the stairs, they would accidentally touch some well-hidden mechanism, which would emit the weird sound from the recorder.

Then think about the sound in the scene we are seeing now. Could it be a sound effect added by the photographer through post-processing, or could it be the effect brought about by a certain tape recorder mechanism?

I paused the videotape temporarily and told Jessica my thoughts, but Jessica shook her head, obviously not satisfied with my seemingly reasonable explanation.

"Rewind this section and read it again."

Jessica's fingers immediately touched the TV, and I saw some kind of flashing light in her eyes, just like the eyes of Columbus who discovered the New World.

I rewind the time of the videotape for a short period as Jessica said. However, this time the world in the videotape did not hear that strange sound again. What was even stranger was the perspective after the video started.

It seems to be a little closer to the ground than the previous perspective.

I quickly paused the video again, and then my mouth opened and I didn't know what to say.

"How could this videotape change its content on its own?"

I finally asked this question vaguely.

"This videotape may have some very special encryption method, so in fact, the pictures we see are different every time, but these contents are not actually the contents stored in this videotape, but just

The interference information brought about by this encryption method."

My head was a little confused all of a sudden. Why does such an advanced encryption method exist in this era?

It feels that even decades later, it will be difficult for the world to use this kind of technology to make different scenes and pictures appear in the same video, and from the surface, this video tape has not been around for a short time, that is,

To say that someone was able to master this magical encryption technology many years ago is really something that makes one’s scalp numb just thinking about it.

"Do you really think so? It's not that I want to question your idea, but this idea is too bold and incredible."

"It's normal that you don't believe it, but this is the reality. Can you find a better explanation? It's better that you rewind the video and watch it again, or try it a few more times, and then think about the validity of my statement.

It doesn’t make sense.”

Jessica's words caused me to fall into a deep silence. On the one hand, my brain really couldn't turn around so quickly to believe the authenticity of this kind of thing, but on the other hand, my intuition told me

Everything Jessica said is most likely correct.

In this somewhat contradictory state of mind, I finally decided to rewind the tape and watch it a few times to confirm whether what Jessica said was correct.

When I rewound the videotape and played it again at least five times, I don’t know when a cold sweat began to appear on my forehead. Judging from the current situation, Jessica’s speculation is indeed a more reasonable explanation.

.

However, a new question arises: who was the original shooter of these video tapes, whether they were the ones who encrypted these video tapes in such a terrible way, and where did Jessica's parents obtain these video tapes and why?

Eventually they would leave the tapes with Jessica again.

In order to test whether this situation also exists in other video tapes, I screened all five video tapes handed over by Jessica. The test results showed that each video tape has this powerful encryption method.

No matter whether I fast forward or watch normally, when I rewind the time, or take the video tape out of the VCR and put it back in again, the pictures they display are different every time.

However, this does not mean that there is no connection between these pictures. In fact, I found that no matter how these pictures change, they will not be too different from the overall environment of the videotape.

For example, the room in the first video tape I played, no matter how many times I play it again, the background of the room will not change fundamentally, but some details in the room will continue to change.

No matter how the sound, angle, distance or the things present in it change, it seems that the room itself will not change.

This situation appears in every video tape. Another thing that puzzles me is that there is no living person in these video tapes. Of course, there is no dead person either.

The real question is what was the true purpose of the owner of these tapes?

I discussed my findings with Jessica, and she agreed with me on at least most of the issues, but she noticed some more subtle connections.

Probably because of women's naturally more delicate observation ability or women's magical sixth sense, Jessica discovered a very difficult-to-find connection point between these video tapes.

At least I haven't discovered this after watching the tapes over and over again. The connecting point is that the owners of these tapes all have some common shooting habits.

No matter how much we humans train or artificially try to change ourselves through acquired conditioned reflexes, certain instincts or innate unconditioned reflexes cannot be changed.

If we take the example of basketball, most people can improve their basketball skills through diligent training, but not everyone can achieve certain basketball skills. Why are there talented people?

The gap, in fact, the gap here is not limited to basic physical fitness indicators such as height, speed, strength, explosive power, and endurance. There are also some things that we cannot see with the naked eye, and these things are often higher than those that can be seen.

The talent gained is more important.

The natural source of these talents inherited from our parents is our genes, that is, DNA. Therefore, certain personal habits of some people are difficult to adjust through acquired training. Jessica has observed these common traits.

The point comes from the unconditioned reflex habitual actions of the photographer.

I can confirm this after watching the video tapes repeatedly with Jessica. From this, it can be seen that the person who shot these video tapes should be the same person, and he has a special habit that can make people familiar with him recognize him at a glance.

It turns out that these video tapes are from his hand.

But the question arises, what is the real purpose of the people who filmed these ever-changing but never-changing video tape contents? I even began to suspect that these ever-changing images may not be an encryption measure, or that they are.

The original intention of the photographer was not to use this method to make us confused about which part is the real situation.

In other words, there is a possibility that the changing situations in these video tapes are real, and there are even

I have a trance-like feeling that these are not video tapes at all, but real cameras that exist somewhere, and now we are just connected to these cameras through these video tapes and video recorders, and the reason why we see different content every time is

That's because it's likely that many different cameras are placed in many similar rooms and are recording the conditions in these rooms at the same time.

I was immediately shocked by my bold idea, and I even began to hesitate whether to tell Jessica this idea. However, what I didn't expect was that Jessica told me this idea first. Could it be that I had the same idea as me?

Is there telepathy between Jessica? Or can she read minds?

"Jessica, I think there may be many explanations for these video tapes. However, the information we have now is still too little. We can't get any useful information just by relying on these completely empty rooms."

"No, I think we must have overlooked some details. I believe my parents had their own intentions in leaving these video tapes to me. Maybe they really believed that I could unlock the secrets or learn from them.

They knew from the beginning that I could do this."

"Do you mean to say that because of your bloodline, because people in your family have this special ability, they can see the truth of things beyond the surface?"

"No, I don't think I have that ability yet. It's just an intuition."

Jessica lowered her head gently, and I rushed over and hugged her into my arms, but she had no intention of resisting at all. At this moment, I only had one thought, that is, not to look anymore.

These damn videotapes, stop thinking about the mysteries that cannot be solved at all, it would be great if time could stand still, and I could hold Jessica in my arms until the end of time.

However, time cannot stand still. Even when you are in a happy state, you will feel that time passes faster, as if it is a blink of an eye.

Time is such a thing that you cannot grasp or touch. It is just like water and quicksand. Whenever you try hard to grasp it, you will find that the harder you try, the faster it will run.

The more.

There is not much time left for me and Jessica this afternoon. Soon I will have to board the Lakers' plane to San Francisco. Thinking of this, I can't help but raise my head and stare closely at Jesse.

Card's eyes.

The team has regulations that I cannot take other planes or transportation alone to the game venue unless there are special circumstances. I asked for leave once before and was scolded by my agent, so even if Jessica can go to the away game

, there is no way I can get on the same plane as her.

"You have to compete well and forget everything that happened today for now. I don't want you to be distracted by me and affect your competition state."

"You are such a considerate girl. It's a pity that I can't go to San Francisco with you."

"I'm an adult now and can take care of myself. You don't have to worry about me. When you enter the court, forget everything outside the court. Even if it's me, you have to forget it. Promise me?

"

I know Jessica must have meant what she said, but I also know that she said it for my own good, and probably for the benefit of the entire Lakers team.

On the other hand, I really have to focus more on the game, especially considering that the opponent we are about to face, the Golden State Warriors, is not a weak team. They have players who later played alongside Garnett, the Wolf King.

Sprewell, 1995 No. 1 pick Joe Smith, God's left-hand Chris Mullin, former Cavaliers All-Star guard Mark Price, Jordan's former three-peat elite guard shooter BJ Armstrong.

Even though our Lakers are very strong this season, many previous games have shown problems such as lack of concentration, slow entry into the state, insufficient player cooperation, insufficient player tactical execution, addiction to individual singles, etc.

There are many weaknesses that are highly likely to be exploited by opponents.

So for me, this game definitely cannot be taken lightly. I think even Shaq should not underestimate such an opponent. In fact, the main core players of the Warriors this time are mainly forwards and defenders.

Their tactical system is actually very similar to the later Golden State Warriors' fast break and three-point perimeter play.

Therefore, Shaq will be a very big loophole on the defensive end. They have very good outside players, and they are not only good at one point, but also have strong outside shooting ability from defenders to forwards, and Shaq's defensive habits

It is very likely that the entire Lakers team will pay a heavy price.

Even if Shaq can completely blow up the opponent's inside, but after all, the speed of scoring three-pointers is very fast, especially the scoring efficiency that these elite shooters can achieve when no one is guarding is even better than Shaq's continuous dunks in the inside.

Higher, not to mention that Shaq's style of dunking and attacking inside cannot be maintained for a whole game. After all, Shaq's physical fitness is not that top-notch.

On the other hand, the opponent's style of using pick-and-rolls to find open three-point shots throughout the game is extremely energy-saving. As long as Shaq's interior scoring efficiency cannot keep up with the points lost due to his poor perimeter defense, then the difference between us and the Golden State Warriors will be

The point difference will be widened.

As I focus on defending the opponent's outside offensive players, I have to put in more effort on the defensive end. However, I also know that no matter how good my personal defense is, there is no way to support the entire team.

I just hope that my defensive attitude can infect those teammates and increase their defensive enthusiasm. Only the perimeter barrier built by our joint efforts can have a chance to guard against their elite shooters.
