Reborn My Name Is Kobe

Then Jessica and I held hands and returned to the hotel where I was staying. At first, I was going to ask Jessica to book a room again. Unexpectedly, Jessica quit and insisted on staying there.

Go to my room.

I looked at her with a bad smile, and she looked at me with a bad smile.

It was a pleasant night, but maybe it was because I slept a little late and consumed too much physical energy that I didn’t wake up until around 12 noon the next day. At this time, Jessica was still lying on my bed.

Next to me, I saw her leaning sideways and looking at me with a smile. I couldn't help but step forward and kiss Jessica again.

Half an hour later, I took Jessica on the streets of Salt Lake City, Utah. Sure enough, different cities in the United States have different styles. You can feel a kind of wildness among Western cowboys in Salt Lake City.

Feel.

The climate here is relatively dry, but the weather is also very dry. In a sense, people will appear more energetic when staying in this environment, and this wild and romantic atmosphere is what Jessica and I like very much.

like.

Jessica told me that there are indeed some western cowboy style hotels in Salt Lake City. In fact, not only the hotels, there is an entire street built according to the western cowboy style.

I readily accepted Jessica's proposal to play in this western cowboy-style street. This street was not too far from where we were at this time. We asked a few local residents while walking and everything went smoothly.

found the nearest road to the Western Cowboy Street.

"Jessica, if we really lived in the Western cowboy world more than a hundred years ago, what kind of stories and experiences would we have had?"

"I guess you can definitely become a handsome young gunman to save me from being kidnapped by robbers. Then we will gallop around in the world of western cowboys and become a heroic couple. What do you think?

.”

"Although it sounds a bit cliché, I like this story arrangement, haha, and I also want to become a fast shooter with two guns, specifically to find those bandits duel, I will use the fastest gun speed in the world to do it

Lie down on them."

"If you want to try such a duel now, you still have a chance, but they use blank bullets or a special kind of paint bullets, at least that's what the uncle who sold water just said."

"Okay, then let's speed up and experience the feeling of being a Western cowboy earlier."

To be honest, when I walked in Salt Lake City on the Utah Plateau, which is more than 2,000 meters above sea level, I didn’t feel much difficulty breathing. Instead, I felt very comfortable because of the dry and refreshing climate here. If it weren’t for the

The sidewalks are a bit narrow, so I would be more than willing to do a warm-up run of several kilometers on the streets.

But Jessica seemed to see what I was thinking, and started to pull me to jog. In fact, Jessica's athletic ability is really amazing among girls. We started walking along the edge of the street and sidewalk.

While jogging, the pedestrians around us kept paying attention to us, and we actually quite enjoyed their looks.

Soon we came to the western cowboy-style street. A huge plaque was hung above the entrance of the street, which said Welcome to the Western World.

When I talk about the name Westworld, I can't help but think of the American TV series called Westworld that I watched in my previous life. It was a very imaginative science fiction suspense drama. Its appearance also made it not appear in many movies for many years.

Western dramas have become popular again. Of course, the world of Western cowboys is actually both romantic and dangerous. Those tense and exciting feelings are all based on a game of chaos and order.

When Jessica and I walked into this western cowboy-style street, we immediately felt like we had traveled through a time tunnel. We even felt that even the air we had been breathing had undergone some subtle changes.

I saw the light shining in Jessica's eyes when she looked at the surrounding environment. Maybe her parents and their family members had such eyes. It was the eyes of a natural explorer.

We first came to a small shop that specializes in selling various western cowboy costumes and props. The shop owner is an old man with gray hair on his temples, but even though he may be over 70 years old, his whole person's spirit

God is very good, and his body is very strong. When he talks to us, his words are full of energy. It can be seen that he must have been a very powerful character when he was young.

Looking at this small but very well-equipped shop, I felt dazzled for a moment. The shop owner couldn't help but laugh when he saw my appearance, and then began to praise his own shop.

The items in the store are introduced and explained in detail. It turns out that these look like costumes and props taken out of Western movies. In fact, they are really restored by very professional personnel.

Under the introduction of the shop owner, Jessica and I became very interested in some of the stories behind these costumes and props. Unknowingly, we had been talking to the shop owner for half an hour, and later there were many other customers.

After arriving, we ended our conversation for the time being.

After being introduced by the store owner, Jessica and I also made some judgments about these clothing props. In the end, we each chose a set of clothes and equipment that we were most satisfied with. Of course, there was no Western cowboy among them.

One of the most important things, the revolver.

In the words of the shop owner, if the two of us

If you want to buy a good revolver, you must keep going forward. All the revolvers sold here are real guns, but they have also been specially modified and can only fire a special non-lethal weapon.

Bullets, of course this is not beyond our expectations.

After leaving this small shop and the enthusiastic shopkeeper, Jessica and I put on a Western cowboy outfit, and then continued walking along the Western Cowboy Street. At this time, there were a large number of pedestrians around us.

They were all dressed in Western cowboy attire.

"Look, the clothes that guy is wearing look like a police sergeant's uniform, and the police star on his clothes is also very conspicuous," Jessica said.

"The two of us are now a heroic Western couple. By the way, shouldn't we get two revolvers for fun first?"

"That's true, but you still have a game against the Utah Jazz to play tonight. It's already close to one o'clock in the afternoon. If you stay here too long, it may affect your game."

"This does seem to be a problem, but the game starts at 8 p.m., including early entry and training time. I can arrive at the arena around 4 to 5 o'clock, so there is plenty of time left for us.

It seems like there are still a few hours, so why don’t we seize the time and have fun, and since we are already here, don’t think about more things.”

Jessica and I continued to walk forward and came to a place similar to the central square of a western town. In the center of the square stood a statue of a character that looked like it was made of copper. The character's image was very majestic, and his body was

His appearance is exactly what he looks like in a Western movie. He looks like his eyes are shining and he is looking into the distance.

There is a stone tablet next to the statue, and many names are densely engraved on the stone tablet. I looked at these names carefully, but I didn't find anyone I knew.

Jessica also focused her attention on the stone tablet, and I seemed to see something from her eyes. She seemed to recognize some of the names recorded on the stone tablet.

"Jessica, do you recognize the name on this?"

Jessica did not answer my question immediately. Instead, she knelt down and looked at the content recorded on the stone tablet more carefully. I also followed her gaze and discovered what was recorded on the stone tablet.

The content is not just some names of people, but also records some deeds related to these names and the era in which they lived.

If you take a closer look, you will find that the order of these names is determined by time. The earliest names can be traced back to the end of the 19th century.

"All these people."

Jessica stopped mid-sentence. I looked at her doubtfully, hoping she could finish her words. However, after a few seconds of silence, Jessica still did not continue, as if there was some kind of meaning in it.

It's a secret she can't tell.

Because I couldn't get the answer to the question from Jessica, I had to carefully introduce the lives of these characters one by one. After reading from the beginning to the back, I gradually discovered some patterns.

Those who lived in the earliest times were involved in a local battle that took place in the early 20th century, between local indigenous people on one side and foreign adventurers on the other.

"Why are the names of these people recorded on this stele in this way, and who is the sculpture next to the stele?"

Jessica still didn't answer me, she just stood up again and took my hand with her hand and started walking forward.

I was pulled away from the sculptures and stone monuments in the middle of the square by Jessica. Her speed was quite fast, almost beyond my understanding of her athletic ability.

"This small western town has an extraordinary past. We'd better leave here as soon as possible."

Jessica's eyes and tone changed a lot all of a sudden. She had become a little weird since she saw the strange stone tablet just now. But seeing her reaction like this, I seemed to obey her words.

There is no other choice.

I followed Jessica and walked back in the direction we came from. As we walked back, Jessica's expression finally relaxed a little and was no longer as serious and weird as before.

"Jessica, if you have anything to say to me, you can say it now. No matter how scary and bizarre it is, I can accept it."

"I don't know how to tell you about this."

Jessica's tone became slightly calmer, but the pleasant atmosphere when we first came to this town had disappeared. I gently put my hand around her shoulders, but I could clearly feel her body

Trembling slightly, we have encountered something not quite right when this happened before. Could it be that there is something wrong with this western town, as well as the statues and stone monuments in the central square?

?

It’s just that I can’t completely connect all of this with just my own guesses and imaginations. I can only wait for Jessica to give me an answer after her mood recovers.

"It's okay, just say it. I will always be by your side and face these things with you."

"What you don't understand is that the town we are in should not exist in this place."

After listening to Jessica's words, I felt like I was hit by a thunderbolt from the blue. I suddenly had a very strange feeling. On the one hand, I was absolutely unwilling to doubt what Jessica said, but

On the other hand, I couldn't rationally believe that what she said was the truth.

"You keep talking."

Jessica held my hand harder and harder, and she walked forward faster and faster. Fortunately, my athletic ability was strong enough. An average boy might not be able to keep up with her pace at this moment.

.

"I once visited this western town when I was very young, but at that time this western town was not located in Salt Lake City in the Utah Plateau, but was located several hundred kilometers east of Las Vegas.

, I was very impressed by that experience, because that day happened to be my birthday, and I begged my father for a long time before he agreed to take me with him, because at that time he and his mother were going to this small western town.

Got in."

"But, can you really remember clearly what happened when you were so young? Why didn't you react when we first entered this western cowboy town? You didn't even react when we saw the statue of that character.

What a surprise, it wasn't until you saw the contents of the stone tablet that you realized something was wrong."

"Your suspicions are justified, because even I couldn't be sure of this at the beginning. When my parents and I went to that small town, it was a dry and refreshing cloudy day like today. I have no idea about that time.

In fact, I only remember some vague scenes of the small town scene. Even though I felt a sense of déjà vu after we entered here, I would only rely on the Western movies I had seen. Even if I saw it

The statue didn't respond, because the statue didn't exist at that time, and there was a very big tree where the statue was."

"So the real basis for you to judge that this town is the same town at that time mainly comes from the content recorded on the stone tablet. So what is so special about the content recorded on this stone tablet?

If it is assumed that this town is modeled after the town near Las Vegas, why did they have to copy this monument?"

"No, the feeling it gives me is not copied at all. My intuition tells me that the stone tablet we just saw is the same stone tablet my parents took me to see when I was a child, but it may also exist.

Another possibility is that someone moved the stone monument there all the way here, which one do you think is more likely?"

I didn't answer Jessica's words immediately. At this time, I kept observing the surrounding environment while walking forward. After listening to Jessica's words, I felt completely different from the western cowboy town around me.

Same thing, when I look at everything around me with suspicion, it seems that I can really tell something is wrong.

"It's all very illogical. No matter what, I choose to believe what you say, no matter how illogical the situation you say is, but thinking about what we have experienced before, from haunted houses to amusement parks to those photos, I

I already feel that nothing is impossible, but we cannot give up thinking about problems with a scientific attitude because of this. Even if there is no scientific explanation for some things for the time being, we believe that we will eventually be able to find a reasonable explanation.

.”

"Well, what you said makes sense, but we still have to get out of this western cowboy town as soon as possible. I will feel particularly uncomfortable staying here now, and I just want to leave right away."

I patted Jessica's back gently, and then increased the forward speed a few points.

After more than ten minutes, Jessica and I finally left the town from where we came in. Before leaving, we went to the store that sold various Western cowboy props to have a look. However, I was surprised.

The thing is, the previous white-haired shop owner has been replaced by a young man, and his shop does not sell Western cowboy props at all.

However, the clothes and hats Jessica and I were wearing at this time were purchased here before. I took the hat off my head and looked carefully, but I didn't find anything wrong.

And when Jessica and I changed into our own clothes and left the town, we looked back at the plaque at the entrance, only to find that the plaque was completely different from what we had seen before.

Jessica and I couldn't help but look at each other. This is not the first time we have encountered such a bizarre situation. From this, Jessica's intuition is correct. There must be something wrong with this western cowboy town, but

At this moment, we both just want to get out of here as soon as possible.

"It's so weird. It's impossible for us to remember the location of that small shop wrong no matter what. There's also the old white-haired shop owner. The scene of him chatting with us seems to be still vivid in our minds, but in the blink of an eye he and his

The small shop suddenly transformed into a different scene out of thin air.”

"Jessica, I now feel that these things we encountered are definitely not coincidences. Can you think carefully about whether you are carrying any unusual objects on your body? I mean something that may cause hallucinations."

substance."

Jessica's face suddenly turned pale, but soon her expression returned to normal.

"It's impossible. If it's a hallucination, how could we both have the same hallucination at the same time? There must be something else that can explain all of this!"
