Reborn My Name Is Kobe

Chapter 68: Homemade Keys

Jessica has been quite satisfied after eating the dishes I cooked several times recently. Europeans and Americans are actually not particularly particular about the taste of food. Europeans and Americans prefer to eat food with original taste, so

Their types of seasonings are much inferior to those of that ancient Eastern country.

There may also be a physiological reason that the taste buds of Europeans and Americans are not as developed as those of Easterners, and they do not have such great demand for taste sensations. Unlike Eastern cultures, which place special emphasis on the so-called color, flavor, and aroma of dishes.

Of course, many things are relative. When I made delicious dishes based on the cooking methods in my memory of my previous life, Jessica still liked it very much. As far as my own feeling is concerned, even though my taste buds are different from those in my previous life.

It's a little less sensitive, but overall it's still useful enough.

I made a fish dish for Jessica tonight. The ingredient was just one big fish, but after my careful cooking, it turned into four or five dishes with different styles and tastes.

Of course, in addition to this fish, I also prepared several other delicacies that I was good at in my previous life. In the end, Jessica and I sat at the table and looked at the table full of delicacies, and we really felt quite happy.

"Can you also teach me how to cook?" Jessica asked.

"Of course you can. In fact, cooking is a very interesting thing. When you make delicious dishes from various ingredients, you can get a special sense of accomplishment."

"After I learn how to cook, we can take turns cooking for each other. It's a very happy thing just thinking about it."

I stroked Jessica's hair lovingly, and then gave her a passionate kiss.

"After dinner, I want you to accompany me to get something."

"What is it that feels so mysterious?"

"Do you remember what I said last time that my parents' room has not been opened for a long time? I want to open that door again. No matter where they are at this time, I believe they will support my choice.

.”

"That's true. Your parents would like you to inherit their will and become as powerful an explorer as your ancestors. I remember you said before that there might be some secrets worth keeping in your parents' room.

Let’s go explore.”

"Well, I melted the key to their room before, so we have to use other ways to open the door to their room."

"Have you thought of any good way to open the door to your parents' room?"

"I can create a brand new key based on the shape of the door lock."

"Do you really know this technique?"

"I actually learned some very special skills from my parents inadvertently when I was young. My parents have been exploring all over the world all year round. Many times they need to open some doors that are difficult to open, so they use a quick method.

The technology for making door lock keys is actually to pour a highly plastic liquid into the keyhole, then quickly take out the liquid, and then add some special chemicals to make it.

These liquids can be allowed to automatically solidify into the shape inside the keyhole, and then the key can be made based on the shape inside the keyhole."

"Oh my god, with such powerful key-making technology, wouldn't it mean that any kind of keyhole can be cracked?"

"Of course it's not that simple. The premise for this method to be successful is that you must be able to make a corresponding key through the shape of the keyhole. However, some very complicated keyholes cannot be made by finding the key just with the naked eye.

method, so this method can only be used to solve some door locks that are not particularly advanced."

"Anyway, this can be considered a solution. By the way, do you still have those special liquids at home?"

"Well, my parents left some behind before they left, but the quantity is not very much anymore. Maybe after using it this time, there won't be much left."

"Is this liquid difficult to get?"

"The main thing is that I don't know the true identity of this liquid, and I don't know how it can be purchased, but what is certain is that this liquid cannot be purchased through normal channels."

I nodded in agreement, thinking that this special liquid must be some kind of very technical product. Even after decades, I have never heard of the existence of similar liquids. If Jessica said

If this kind of liquid really exists, it can be regarded as a very top-notch technological product.

"Come to Jessica and eat more of this fish. I heard it's good for your skin."

"The food you cook is so delicious. If I gain weight in the future, you can't dislike me."

I rushed over and hugged Jessica's slim waist, looking into her eyes lovingly.

"Why would I dislike you? If you gain weight, I will only think that being chubby is cute."

"You are bad!"

"Hey, let me show you the bad stuff then!"

After eating, I lay contentedly on the large sofa at Jessica's house, chatting with Jessica while watching the scenes on the videotape.

"What do you think of the content in these tapes?" Jessica asked.

"The content in these video tapes does not seem to have much specialness, but we have just watched the beginning, and we cannot draw conclusions too early. The last time we watched the video tapes, there were many surprises hidden in them.

Content."

"Indeed, but the content in this videotape seems to be an ordinary expedition team gathering and taking a boat to move along a wide river. But judging from the clothes they are wearing and the surrounding environment, the temperature of the place where the river is located should be

It’s quite high, it should be a river with a tropical rainforest climate.”

"The river has a tropical rainforest climate and is so spacious, and the surrounding trees and vegetation are so lush. Taken together, it is likely to be the same place."

"You mean they're in the Amazon forest?"

"Are you able to determine the exact identity of the person who shot these tapes?"

"Sometimes these tapes will have the names of people related to the people who filmed them written in marker pen, but the name written on this tape should be Antonio Phillips. I have never heard of this name before.

"

"This name is quite difficult to pronounce. Let's call him Antonio. It's normal that you don't know his name. There are so many people in the world, and there are only a few famous ones. But just because this name is very

It is difficult to determine whether he was the person who shot the videotape or the name of an important person recorded in the videotape."

"Let's take a closer look at what's next in this tape."

Jessica and I refocused our attention on what was shown on the tape:

There should be a total of ten people in the group, including seven men and three women. They are all dressed in the kind of adventure clothes that explorers like to wear. The material of the clothes is very light and breathable and has many small and large portable accessories.

In their pockets, they all wore a small gray hat on their heads, with a strange logo in the center of the hat.

Neither Jessica nor I recognized what this strange sign was, but the entire camera suddenly shook violently, and someone was shouting loudly, as if something unexpected had just happened.

The person who was holding the camera to shoot didn't know where he ran. The whole camera lens fell on the ground. There were loud shouts and shouts all around. There were male voices and female voices, but these shouts were all.

The communication was intermittent and there was no specific language, making it difficult for people to judge what was happening around them during this process.

About five minutes passed like this. Jessica and I kept staring at the footage on the videotape, not even daring to blink. During the entire five minutes, except for a few intermittent screams,

The camera never moved.

Just when Jessica and I thought this shot would continue like this, someone suddenly lifted the camera to the shoulder position again. From the shoulder position, the camera began to become unstable, and we could only see the surrounding areas.

It's no longer on the previous boat. The person holding the camera is already walking in the primeval forest carrying the camera.

The surrounding light became increasingly dimmer due to the dense vegetation, and a very obvious breathing sound came from the video tape. This breathing sound was very deep. After listening to it, I even felt that it was not like us humans.

The sound it can make is more like the sound made by some kind of animal that is on all fours.

Seeing this, Jessica and I both held our breaths and watched the video carefully, looking forward to the scene that would appear next. However, in the following section, the sound of breathing became more and more intense, and the camera moved faster.

Getting slower and slower.

Just when the camera slowly stopped, several figures jumped out from the surrounding dense forest. Their bodies looked taller than ordinary people. The most important thing was that they had slender limbs, dark skin, and very proportional bodies.

Ridiculously, their hands and feet are even longer than those of ordinary South American black people. What's more important is that their faces are full of white down, and there is no way to distinguish their facial features. They even give people the impression that they do not belong to human beings.

a feeling of.

Seeing this, I paused the video, and then my eyes when looking at Jessica changed slightly.

"Jessica, what kind of event are these video tapes recording? Why did this video tape record all of this by such a coincidence?"

"I don't know, but I feel like this videotape didn't record anything. Although I saw what was happening around me all the time, there was no more explanation of the specific causes and consequences."

"First of all, we don't know the time that this video was recorded. Secondly, according to the circumstances of the video, it was filmed by a group of explorers on a boat sailing on the Amazon river. But there is one strange thing. At that time

What happened caused the camera to be thrown to the ground, but the camera lens was always on, but then the long shot showed that the environment of the person who picked up the camera subsequently changed dramatically, but after this process

How the camera was taken from the deck of a ship to the rainforest."

"Yes, after hearing what you said, I also feel that there is something very wrong in this.

Logic problem, because the picture captured by this camera is always in the middle. Who took the camera off the deck of the ship at what time during this process? It doesn’t feel like he picked up the camera later.

people."

Then I played the scenes recorded in the videotape again from the beginning. This time Jessica and I looked at the scenes recorded in the videotape more intently, not even daring to blink our eyes easily.

I moved for fear that I would miss some very important scene.

When the video was in progress, the camera suddenly shook violently and various people's cries came from around me. I paused the video. I listened to the cries of these people over and over again, trying to find some clues.

Some parts that we have missed before.

"Jessica, listen carefully to these cries. Do you notice anything wrong?"

"Do you hear something is wrong? But it feels like something is not quite right, but there is no way to express it in words. This feeling is really strange."

"Didn't we see seven men and three women on the boat at the beginning? If we also add that the person holding the video recorder at the beginning had no way to determine the gender, then the possible male-to-female ratio would be eight men and three

There may be seven women and four women, but listen carefully to how many female voices and how many male voices there are in these cries."

Jessica did not speak, but had a look of disbelief on her face. I played the video again and again several times, and Jessica tilted her ears and listened to the sounds in it very carefully.

"It feels like there are less than two men's voices at most, but there are so many women's voices. It doesn't seem like there are only two or three female voices at all."

"Yes, if the screams made by people in emergency have some specificity, then it is certain that we have definitely heard more than five or less female voices, and it is entirely possible that there are even more female voices. So the question

Come on, where did this extra female voice come from? And the most important point is that the size of this ship does not seem to have more cabins to accommodate more people, even if it only takes eleven people.

It must be a very difficult thing for me personally, so the sudden appearance of an extra female voice is a very serious suspicion point."

"So it is very possible that some other female personnel boarded the ship from other places at this time and had some kind of conflict with the original people on the ship, so there were so many different female voices appearing at the same time."

"At present, it seems that only this speculation can be established. In the next five minutes or so, everything around seemed to have stopped. During this period, some people's shouts appeared intermittently, but because of the camera lens

, we have no way to judge what happened at that time just through these vague sounds."

"Something bad must have happened. Maybe the people who came on the ship later knocked down those who came before, and completely lost their ability to move or even speak in a short period of time."

"The first question we must try to solve is the identity of the person who shot this video at the beginning, and what kind of relationship he has with other people on the ship. If we can know this, maybe we can go further.

It is possible to deduce the reason why they appeared here, and it is also possible to deduce the purpose of those who appeared later to attack them."

"The Amazon rainforest is a very scary place. There are countless dangerous wild animals and plants living there, as well as some terrible insects and microorganisms. If the average person does not have rich wild survival skills or has not grown up in the tropical rainforest,

, then it will be difficult for him to get out of that ancient and primitive world alive."

"We first speculate that the identities of these people wearing adventure clothing are members of a group of mysterious organizations with an organization and purpose. They may be some kind of organization or a certain company, for some purpose that we don't understand.

Go into this dangerous territory to discover something we don't know."

"If you think about the hats they were wearing, the people who appeared in the video later were no longer wearing the hats they were wearing at the beginning, so they were obviously not together, so the attack

Were their people the ones who then took the camera?"

"Another thing that is very strange is that the person who then put the camera on his shoulder and took it away obviously knew how to use this camera. So who was this person? Was he with the original explorers?

Or are the later attackers together, and what is the relationship between the long-armed weirdo with a fluffy face that appeared later and him?"

"We need to further watch this videotape to get answers to these questions. However, in any case, this videotape is unlikely to be some kind of movie film. It must be some real video clip. No matter what we will receive next

No matter what we see in the videotape, we all need to maintain a stable mental state."

I slowly closed my eyes and temporarily let my mind return to a state of nothingness. Only by putting myself in this state similar to meditation can my mind find enough space to regain calmness and peace.

Wake up and think of some details that you usually overlook.

After I woke up from the meditative state again, I saw Jessica looking at me with expectant eyes. Then we turned on the video tape again and continued to watch the video just now:

The picture in front of the camera was constantly shaking, and some black people with extremely exaggerated body proportions around them were constantly speaking in an indecipherable language. The man with the camera on his shoulder seemed to have a huge feeling for the black people around him.

Feeling fear, he let out some kind of heart-rending cry, and then the camera was thrown from his shoulder.

The camera lens rolled and gradually fell into a dark hole. The unidentifiable sounds were getting farther and farther away, and the picture in front of me once again appeared pitch black.

This situation continued until the entire videotape was completely played and no other scenes appeared.

"Jessica, it seems that we can't find any more reference information from this video tape. Do you have some other video tapes similar to this? Is there some connection between them?

Is there some kind of number or text on the cover of the video tape that can identify the order in which they were taken?"

"There are many more of these video tapes, but a large part of them were placed in my parents' room, and only a small part of them were left outside. If you want to completely identify the numbers or words on the covers of these video tapes,

If so, you need to take out all the remaining video tapes."

"In that case, we still have to find a way to open the door to your parents' room first. In that case, we can use the method you mentioned. Use that special liquid to pour into the keyhole, and then pass it through

Use the shape formed by the liquid to make a key and open the door."

"Well, this is the only feasible way."

Then Jessica and I used that special liquid to make a shape model inside the door lock, and used the shape inside to make a brand new metal key. To be honest, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would have been a little bit

It's hard to believe that Jessica can actually make this metal key that can open the door just by using the shape inside the door lock.

"The person who can invent this method of unlocking is really a talent!"

"This method of unlocking actually appeared very early, but people at that time did not have such a powerful molding liquid, so they had to use other methods to understand the structure inside the door lock, and then make the key through empirical judgment, so in the end

At the beginning, the success rate of unlocking this method was very low."

"Wow, now that you have mastered this technology skillfully, won't it be possible for us to pass through those ancient unopenable doors very easily when we go out on adventures in the future?"

"Things are not as simple as you think. Not to mention that making keys in this way requires a lot of tools. On the one hand, you need to carry this liquid with you, and you also need tools that can make keys. In addition, not all

I can easily make keys for all locks. Only some locks with relatively simple structures can I make keys for. For example, there is no way for me to make keys for the very complicated door locks that have existed in history.

The internal structure is what makes the key."

"What you said seems to make sense. In order to prevent others from easily cracking the door locks, the ancients would make some extremely complex door locks on some very important doors. Some of them were not only complex in structure, but also had

There are all kinds of terrible mechanisms, and people who rush to pick the lock are very likely to fall into these mechanisms."

"Well, now let's go into my parents' room first and see if we can find anything there that we missed before."

Jessica opened the door to her parents' room with her newly made metal key. When she gently pushed the door open, a strange fragrance floated out from behind the door. I smelled this fragrance.

Then he sneezed involuntarily.

"This smell is so strange. Although it smells particularly good, my nose is itchy and I really want to sneeze."

"Well, this kind of flower was brought back from overseas by my parents a few years ago. My mother said that the fragrance of this kind of flower can effectively repel mosquitoes, and even has a certain disinfection and sterilizing effect, but it is only a small part of it.

People can become allergic to the scent of this flower."

"Haha, I didn't expect that with such a good physical condition, I would become one of the few people who suffer from allergies. By the way, you haven't come in to water and fertilize for such a long time, how can they still survive so well!"

"You don't understand this. All living things have a strong ability to adapt to the environment, and this plant is likely to come from an area with a relatively dry climate, so it will not be unable to survive due to a little lack of water.

.”

"No, look at the petals and leaves of this kind of flower. They are so big. Logically speaking, water dissipates very quickly. How can it survive in a very dry environment for such a long time?"

After listening to my words, Jessica, who might have felt that there was some truth in it, couldn't help but touch her head. Then Jessica and I walked into his parents' room and took a close look at this strange flower.

Observe.

"It's strange. The itchy feeling in my nose disappeared so quickly. There seems to be a particularly cool and comfortable feeling in my lungs. I really can't understand this strange plant anymore.

"

"There are all kinds of strange animals and plants in nature. If there was nothing special, my parents would not be able to bring them to the world."

It must have been brought home from overseas all the way. If we search more, we might be able to find some other notes left by my parents, which may contain some records about these strange plants."

After hearing what Jessica said, I also turned my attention from those strange plants to other places in the room. But at that time, Jessica's parents' room was really very big, and because of the various strange plants placed there,

Weird things, so even though everything in the room is actually arranged neatly, it still makes people feel a little chaotic at first glance.

Maybe it’s because there are so many things and there is no particularly obvious main point, so Jessica and I are a little overwhelmed and don’t know where to start our investigation.

In the end, Jessica and I agreed to each other to start investigating from half of the room. We used the bed in the middle of the room as the dividing line, and each of us investigated half of the area.

There are really all kinds of weird things in Jessica's parents' room, some of which are small objects that are not very eye-catching. Judging from the look and even the feel of these objects, they should not only be

It's just a small object, maybe it was brought back from all over the world, covering various cultures from many different continents.

"Jessica, guess what interesting thing I found?"

"What did you find?"

"There is a wooden box here. When I opened it, I saw that there were many little people made of clay. I basically didn't recognize these little people, but one of them looked very similar to you.

.”

"What? Where did you find them?"

I saw Jessica running from the other end of the room to where I was in a hurry. At this time, I was still holding the box in my hand. I had opened the lid of the box, and there were ten items neatly placed inside.

Let’s make a beautifully crafted little clay figurine.

Jessica took the box from my hand. The look on her face seemed to be somewhat impressed by the box, but I couldn't guess what the importance of the little man in the box was to her.

meaning.

"Jessica?"

"Well, I'm here. These little people are all members of our family, including my parents, me and some people from our ancestors."

"Wow! It's my fault that I didn't know before, but from the looks of it, do these clay figurines of your family have any special meaning?"

"Actually, they are not made of ordinary clay, but are made of a special material. This material is very rare. Although the figurines produced by it do not look much different from ordinary clay figurines, they are

Just use a potion that has been passed down for a long time in our family to unlock the unique information hidden in each villain."

"What the hell? The people in your family are really interesting. Why do you use such complicated means to record that information in these special villains?"

"This may be a special family belief, or it can be understood as a family tradition. Everyone in the family will make a special little person when they become adults, and then every time in their lives, they will create a special little person.

Important information will be put into the villain in a special way, and it is not easy to unlock the information hidden in each villain. It must be passed down from generation to generation in the family.

Only with special skills can you do it.”

"But when I saw your expression just now, it seemed that you were very surprised to find this box and the little person inside. Are you hiding something from me?"

"Well, because I don't know when I was made into such a villain. My parents had already left me when I became an adult. I also saw this box by chance many, many years ago. Regarding these

I have no idea how the villains are made, how they record information, or even how to extract the information. I didn’t expect them to be placed here by my parents.”

"Oh my God, that means your parents may want to tell you some hidden information through these little people. From all the video tapes and basements your parents left for you, it can be seen that they are

They want you to inherit their expedition and other family information, but I don’t know why they can’t tell you all this directly, and they need to let you understand the things step by step.”

"They must also be very conflicted. They may have some difficulties that they can't express. Moreover, everything they left me is really too complicated and bizarre. If I didn't have you by my side to face it all together,

, I simply don’t know what to do.”

Jessica immediately jumped into my arms, and I patted her back gently, comforting her like a poor little girl who had lost her parents.

"But now even if we know that there may be very important information hidden in these villains, we still don't know how to read the information. As you just said, all of this has been passed down from generation to generation in your family.

It has been passed down, but when it comes to you, your parents did not tell you many things in the family for some reasons, so can we still find a way to answer the secrets? "

"If these little people are really left to me intentionally by my parents, then I believe they must have their reasons for doing this. Even if we can't solve the secrets hidden in these little people for the time being, as we

I will continue to follow their footsteps and understand bit by bit the problems my ancestors faced. These secrets will eventually be solved again one day."

"Well, I believe in you and will always stay with you, but now we have to continue to explore the legacy left to you by your parents in this room. You said before that there are some video tapes that are also placed in this room.

, but we just did a rough search, and we did not see anywhere where those video tapes were placed. If the video tapes we watched before were only a small part, then there should be quite a few remaining video tapes. Although this room

It’s very big, but it also requires a large area to place these video tapes.”

Jessica did not answer me immediately, but first slowly closed the box in her hand, and then gently placed it in a small cabinet. Then she motioned for me to follow her.

I followed Jessica and came to the half of the room that Jessica had just explored. On this side of the room, I saw a very tall cabinet, with the top of the cabinet directly touching the top of the room.

"Those video tapes should be placed in the top shelf of the cabinet. If you are tall enough, it's up to you to take them down."

I smiled slightly. I didn't expect that my height could be put to extra use at this time. I stretched one hand straight up and reached a height of about 2.6 meters, but I wanted to reach the top of the cabinet directly.

The wicket is still a bit difficult.

I smiled awkwardly, took a small chair from the side and put it under my feet. Then I stretched out my hand and opened the small door on the top of the cabinet. The floor height of Jessica's house is quite high, about 3

Around 2 meters, I gently opened the small door of the cabinet and pulled out a black box. There seemed to be many similar black boxes in the cabinet.

I handed the box to Jessica who was standing below. She skillfully opened the box and took out five boxes of video tapes stacked on top of each other.

"These video tapes are all put together in several disks. They should have been specially sorted and sorted by the people who were photographed. However, these video tapes do not seem to have all the letter or number marks on the previous video tapes." Jessica said.

"There are really a lot of these video tapes. Do you want me to take them all down?"

"It's better not to take them all down just yet. There isn't much room at home to put them. Let's just put them here today and pick them up when we need to look at them later. Anyway, we already have this

The door key to the room can be retrieved anytime and anywhere in the future."

I nodded slightly, just took out another black box and closed the small door on the cabinet again. When Jessica opened the black box, I saw a sudden frown on her forehead.

The person's expression suddenly changed dramatically.

"Jessica? Did you notice something was wrong?"

"It's okay, it's okay." Jessica's tone was a little panicked. Judging from her previous expression and current performance, it was obvious that it couldn't be completely okay.

"Are you really okay? If you find anything strange, please tell me, okay?"

"Actually, when I opened the black box just now and saw the video tape inside, a fragment from my memory suddenly flashed in my mind. I don't know why this memory appeared at this time, but when I thought about it carefully

When I flashed back the footage, I discovered that it was not just a simple memory fragment, but a memory about the content of the video tape I had watched."

"Have you ever seen what's on these tapes?"

"I should have seen it, but maybe it was forgotten because it took too long. Maybe it was because of other reasons that the memories were overwritten or even tampered with?"

"The memory has been tampered with? What do you mean? Has someone done this to you?"

"I don't know, when this memory suddenly flashed back, I felt a deep fear deep in my heart, as if I had felt a similar fear at a certain moment, and some kind of fear that I had never forgotten was removed.

A mysterious power has been erased, and when it appears again, I will have this familiar feeling."

"Okay, let's stop here today. Go to bed and rest early, and then think about more things after we have fully recovered our energy."

Jessica held the two boxes containing video tapes in her hands, and I hugged her directly, then walked out of Jessica's parents' room and walked straight to Jessica's bedroom.

I had a dreamless night, and when I opened my eyes the next morning, I discovered that Jessica had gone somewhere.

I quickly put on my clothes and pants and walked out of Jessica's bedroom. When I walked to the living room, I discovered that Jessica was sitting on the sofa alone watching a video tape. At this time, her eyes were full of fear.

, I could even see a trace of tears falling from her face.

When I saw this, I immediately rushed to Jessica, gently touched her eyes with my hands, and tried to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"I see my parents!"

Jessica's sudden words startled me, and I subconsciously looked at the TV playing the video tape.
