Reborn My Name Is Kobe

"What did you say? Did you see your parents? Where, on the tape?"

My eyes also followed Jessica's and looked at the TV screen in front of me. I saw that the picture in the video happened to show a place that Jessica and I were familiar with - the haunted house. This is where Jessica and I

We have been to the place twice. However, whether it was the first time we went to the haunted house or the second time we went to the haunted house, we seemed to have discovered some secrets, but in the end we were unable to completely unlock the secrets of the haunted house, and we kept discovering more.

More incredible things exist in the haunted house.

At the beginning, I thought I could attribute everything to a routine deliberately set by the operator of the haunted house. However, our second experience after going to the haunted house confirmed in many ways how naive our previous ideas were.

evil.

"My parents have been to this haunted house before and had an accident in it, but I don't know when this video was taken. At first, I thought my parents really had an accident in this haunted house.

But later, when I took a closer look at my parents’ clothes and body shapes, I discovered that this should be a video taken when my parents went exploring the haunted house when they were still very young.”

"But your parents both appeared in this videotape, which means that when your parents went to explore this haunted house, there should be at least one other person who was with them and was responsible for this incident.

shooting assignment."

"No matter what, we have to go to the haunted house again. This time we try to be as prepared as possible. It is best to bring a camera to record our entire adventure. When we come back, we can use the videotape

Let’s look for some details that we overlooked when we were there.”

"Well, we will go to the haunted house when we are ready. But now, please come and watch the situation in this video together with me. Maybe you can find something that will be helpful for our upcoming adventure.

thing."

I asked Jessica to replay the tape to see what happened at the beginning.

When the video tape started playing again, my attention was attracted by the pictures in the video tape. It turned out that Jessica's parents did not walk in through the main entrance of this haunted house at that time. In fact, this haunted house was a

The large house had been abandoned for a long time. They walked around this large manor-like place for a long time, trying to find a gap that was easier to enter.

Finally, Jessica's parents discovered something special about a corner of the wall. When Jessica's father approached the corner with a small hammer, he squatted down and then used the small hammer to tap on the fragile stone wall surface.

Jessica's father didn't use a lot of force, but the wall seemed to have been hit by a very huge force. It was cracked in long sections. It seemed that the wall had become very fragile early on.

, it only takes a small amount of external force to completely enlarge the existing crack.

I noticed a detail, that is, there were several large English letters written with some kind of red paint on the side of the wall that was broken by Jessica's father. These letters should be SFZY. I don't quite understand.

What do these letters mean, but they exist here abruptly, and their bright colors are completely different from the surrounding ruins.

Jessica's father passed through the small hole first, followed by Jessica's mother. To be honest, Jessica's mother really looked like Jessica now when she was young. The only difference is that Jessica's mother

She had short hair, while Jessica had long shawl hair. Then the camera was taken over by Jessica’s mother, and we finally saw the appearance of the third person who had been holding the camera. However, when I saw

After seeing this face, I couldn't help but feel shocked. I always felt that he looked very familiar. Jessica and I had seen him somewhere before.

"Jessica, tell me this is not just my delusion. Why do I feel like we have really met this person somewhere, and it seems to have been during one of our expeditions."

"I seem to have an impression after hearing what you said. By the way, do you still remember the staff at the door when we went to the haunted house for the second time?"

My back suddenly seemed to be blown by a gust of cool wind, and I suddenly felt my whole body trembling slightly involuntarily. This feeling was really strange. Thinking about it, Jessica and I went to the haunted house for the second time.

Through my experiences at that time, I couldn't help but become more familiar with this face.

"Could it really be him? But judging from your parents' faces, this must have happened ten or twenty years ago. The man we saw when we went to the haunted house for the second time looked similar to the one on this videotape.

The people in it are exactly the same. Does he know some mysterious prescription for eternal youth? There are no signs of aging at all!"

"No, think about it. My mother looked quite similar to me when she was young. Maybe this man is his father. It's really possible. Where in the world can people stay young forever?

The secret recipe.”

Jessica's hand was also held together with mine unknowingly. As the camera continued to change, the atmosphere became more and more tense.

Just after Jessica's young parents and the man with the camera entered the manor through the hole in the wall, I found that the sound of the surrounding wind blowing the leaves became louder and louder, as if there was something there.

Some mysterious force wanted to remind them of something through these wind noises, and their progress became slower and slower. The lens of the camera shook slightly, indicating that the person holding the camera was in a very serious situation at this moment.

In a tense state.

I also found that there was not much communication between the three of them. Jessica’s parents held each other’s hands, but the man with the camera deliberately kept a certain distance from Jessica’s parents. Maybe because of this

It will make the proportions of the characters in the lens appear more reasonable. Anyway, judging from the quality of the videos he shot, this man should have received special shooting training before. There are many details that only professional photographers would care about.

Have noticed.

Only then did I realize that this haunted house was much bigger than I had imagined. I remember that the last time Jessica and I went to this haunted house, we had found many places that we had not been to the first time.

But judging from the itinerary of Jessica's parents and theirs, there are many, many places in this haunted house that we didn't know before.

After entering the manor from the side, there is a very old stone road. The fallen leaves have buried most of this stone road under the traces of time with the blowing wind. However, when Jessica's

After the three parents walked on the stone road, the surrounding wind seemed to be summoned by someone with a stronger power, and rolled the surrounding fallen leaves into the air. The most surprising thing was that these fallen leaves

It seemed to only be flying outside the stone road, but the three people walking on the stone road were hardly affected by the fallen leaves.

Jessica and I looked at each other, and we both saw some incredible look in each other's eyes. Then I hugged Jessica tightly into my arms. At this time, she was warm and soft.

My body made me no longer feel so uncomfortable with the weird video in front of me.

"Jessica, why do I feel that this manor is a little different from the haunted house we went to before? This feeling is really strange. I can't tell you exactly what is different at the moment."

"I have to say that I feel the same way. You know, when we went to this haunted house before, we also looked around it, but I felt that many places in this video were not discovered at the time."

"Could it be because ten or twenty years have passed, so the scene inside our manor has actually undergone some changes? Or is there another possibility? There are indeed people in these years.

The manor is being renovated. In fact, when we went there, we found traces of human activities in the manor, and the house looks like it has always been inhabited."

"I don't know, but who has been living in this house. Even now I think that the person who attracted us into this manor from the beginning knew the truth of everything, and he introduced us into this manor.

The real purpose is still unknown. Now we know that my parents have also been to this manor. It is even possible that there is some connection between my parents’ disappearance and this manor that we can’t see yet. We must find a way to go there.

Find out the truth hidden in this manor."

"Hey, sometimes it's hard to say what the truth is. We are like two little ants, being played with by some higher-level existence, but we can't find any possibility of resistance at all.

.”

"Hey, let's keep watching and see what else will surprise us in this videotape."

Jessica's parents and a group of three people walked around the outer circle of the manor. When they came to the central building, they stopped. This should be the houses in the center of the manor, but at this time they were in the house.

directly behind.

What is strange is that this stone road extending from the periphery of the manor actually leads to the back of the house, but why? Does this mean that there was actually an entrance at the back of the house at the beginning?

, but I don’t know why the entrance was closed now, or maybe it’s because we went to the haunted house twice before and took it for granted that there wouldn’t be an entrance behind the house.

The vision of the video tape still became a little blurry, as if a thin layer of mist-like things suddenly appeared in front of the camera, and these things did not seem to affect the vision of Jessica's parents and the other three.

, because it seems they are not affected at all.

Sure enough, after Jessica's father dug away the layers of weeds with his hands, a somewhat hidden entrance appeared in everyone's sight. The area around this entrance looked very neat, and it did not look like it had been artificially removed later.

There are traces of damage, which shows that this entrance was carefully designed from the beginning.

Jessica's parents looked at each other, and then walked into the small hole hand in hand. When they walked into the small hole, the layer of mist in front of the camera was like

It suddenly disappeared and was no longer visible. It only lasted for two or three seconds. The layer of mist just disappeared, as if it had never appeared.

It's been normal.

The scene in the video was very dark for a long time. Each of them had a small flashlight in their hands, but I don't know whether it was because the power of the small flashlight itself was only so powerful, or because of the content inside the flashlight.

The battery is almost out of power. In short, the light it produces is really dim. This video recorder is supposed to have a lighting function, but I don’t know why they didn’t turn on the lighting function of the video recorder. Is it to save money?

Does the video recorder have enough battery?

There was a faint sound of dripping water. This sound was very clear. Maybe it was because the surrounding environment was too quiet. The ticking sound was so obvious, accompanied by Jie's voice.

The footsteps of Sika's parents were so rhythmic.

Suddenly, Jessica's parents stopped. A big light source seemed to appear in front of them. Finally, they were able to turn off the weak flashlight in their hands, and followed the dangling light source as they walked forward. However,

However, their steps seemed quite cautious, and they seemed to be wary of the light source that suddenly appeared in front of them.

But gradually, the steps of Jessica's parents no longer seemed so cautious, and the light in front of them became more and more huge. This light was so bright that the surrounding environment was in contrast to it.

It looked even darker underneath.

"Jessica, your parents didn't seem to be very good at exploring at the time. It seems that everyone needs a growth process, just like us now, maybe after a few decent adventures,

Can gradually grow into a very powerful explorer."

"But being an explorer always requires you to face huge unknown challenges and dangers all the time. To be honest, are you really willing to accompany me on adventures that have nothing to do with you?"

"Jessica, maybe there are some things that I can't fully explain to you, but I want you to know one thing, that is, everything now is equivalent to a second chance for me, and of course I will cherish it very much.

Everything, but I hope to truly live for myself once, and do something more worthy of being remembered while I still have time and am still young."

"You are really philosophical in what you say, even though I really didn't understand some of the things you said."

"It's not a blessing to not understand. Believe me, you will understand one day."

Jessica and I continued to look at the situation in the video tape. We saw that the speed of Jessica's parents greatly increased after seeing the huge light source, until they moved forward for about 30 seconds.

Fifty meters later, they finally came to the place where the light source was. It turned out that there was an intersection. Directly above the intersection was a white headlight hanging from the ceiling. The intersection looked very regular, regardless of the

It seems to be exactly the same in every direction.

At this time, Jessica's parents seemed to be whispering something, and then it turned into a loud quarrel. It turned out that they were arguing about coming to this manor and entering this underground passage.

Jessica's father seemed to have been repeatedly emphasizing that there were important documents in this manor that they must obtain, but Jessica's mother was quite dissatisfied. There seemed to be some crying in her voice. She said this

This manor is obviously a cursed place, and they will definitely be in trouble after entering here.

The argument between Jessica's parents lasted for about a minute. During the process, the man holding the camera seemed to step forward to dissuade them. However, Jessica's parents' attitude towards him was quite unfriendly.

Jessica's mother also said that they came here because they listened to the guy with the camera and asked him to stop talking nonsense. They no longer believed him.

Jessica's mother was a little out of control emotionally at this time. When Jessica's father wanted to go forward and hug her to relieve her excitement, Jessica's mother suddenly broke away from Jesse.

Ka's father's hand suddenly rushed into the dark passage on the left side of the intersection.

Jessica's father stayed there for about a second, and then chased Jessica's mother into the darkness, while the guy with the camera shouted loudly to Jessica's parents where he was.

He said a few words, but did not rush over with a camera.

After a few seconds, the picture in the video recorder was interrupted, and everything turned into darkness again, but the strange thing is that the time displayed on the video tape is still continuing, which means that it does not appear because the filming stopped at this time.

It's darkness, but the filming has been going on in the darkness.

Jessica and I looked at each other for a few seconds, and then we both held our breaths. We didn't know how long this strange darkness would last, but we were certain that something unknown must have happened at this time.

Because although there is no picture visible in the picture, there will be some strange sounds faintly heard at certain moments, and these sounds do not sound like what humans can make.

"Are there some inhuman creatures living in this underground passage?"

Jessica held my arm with her hand, with a frightened look on her face, and asked me in a low voice.

I shook my head slightly and said that I didn't know what was going on. In fact, the sound sounded a bit like a mouse but also a bit like the sound of some kind of wild animal, because the audio effect in the video tape was very poor.

, there is very large distortion, so whether it is the voices of Jessica's parents before or the strange beast sounds heard at this time, we cannot hear it completely accurately. Everything is very blurry and must be added.

Just some guesswork of my own.

I temporarily paused the video, then fell backwards on the sofa, covering my eyes with my hands, hoping to gain some extra psychological energy for myself by closing my eyes and entering a meditative state.

Energy, because the things recorded on these videotapes in Jessica's home are very weird, always creating something ambiguous between reality and illusion, which is quite confusing.

Jessica also sat on the sofa at this time, took my arm with her hand and fell into my arms. She was as gentle and quiet as a cute little tabby cat, which made people feel love and pity.

.

"Jessica, do you still want to continue watching? Or should we make some preparations now and go directly to the haunted manor later. It's almost nine o'clock now. It will be over later.

It’s almost ten o’clock.”

"It seems that we have almost finished watching this video tape. This is just one of the video tapes. There are seven or eight such video tapes in the two boxes we took out. There must be many amazing contents inside. I also

We need to take it slow. Let's make preparations first and then go to the haunted house later. If we don't completely find out the truth in this haunted house, we won't come back today."

Looking at Jessica's very firm eyes, I just smiled slightly, then patted her back gently, and then started to make some preparations. As for what the so-called preparations are, the most important thing is

The first thing is to bring something that can protect our personal safety, and then some things that real explorers would bring.

Fortunately, there is a special cabinet in the basement of Jessica's house that stores some tools that can still be used and provide considerable help despite their age. Jessica took them out of that cabinet first.

Two Colt pistols were born during the war decades ago. These pistols were considered very advanced at the time and were manufactured in staggering quantities around the world.

I took the Colt pistol handed over by Jessica and felt the weight passed on from it and the thickness of the years. I didn’t know what these two pistols had experienced and witnessed in the past years.

What kind of stories were told.

Then Jessica took out some explorer-specific equipment from the cabinet, including military flashlights, short-bladed sabers, radios, and some arm guards and wrist guards.

However, Jessica and I did not bring all these things. At least I don’t think it is necessary to bring everything. Carrying so many things on our bodies always makes people feel very uncomfortable.

In the end, we decided to bring a Colt pistol, a saber, and a military flashlight, but not a walkie-talkie. After all, Jessica and I would always move together, and it would be impossible to move separately by then.

After making these necessary preparations, Jessica and I set out for the location of the haunted manor.

At about 9:40 in the morning, we drove again to the haunted manor that Jessica and I had visited twice, but this time we did not enter through the main entrance. When we parked the car at the main entrance, we found that it had been open before.

The haunted house was still in normal business at this time, but Jessica and I observed in the car for a long time and found that no one walked into the manor, and no one came out of the main entrance.

The staff we saw at the door last time also changed their faces again and turned into other people, but this time they looked younger, and they seemed to be teenagers under the age of twenty.

Jessica and I got out of the car, but had no intention of walking in from the front entrance. This time we would walk along the outside of the manor and try to find what we saw in the video first.

That is the opening through which Jessica's parents entered the manor. Then we went through that opening and walked along the path Jessica's parents took back then.

The environment outside the manor seems to have changed a lot compared to the time in the videotape, but most of the changes are still reflected in the outside of the manor, while the inside of the manor is still the same as before. It's just what you can see from the videotape.

After all, the appearance cannot completely correspond to reality, so Jessica and I still encountered some minor troubles when looking for the entrance in the videotape.

The first point is that the area outside the manor has been completely covered by various weeds and shrubs. Even if the small hole in the corner in the video still exists, it must have been covered up by shrubs and weeds.

If Jessica and I wanted to find this entrance again, I'm afraid it would take a lot of effort.

"Jessica, what should we do? We

Now I have walked more than half a circle around the perimeter of this manor, but I still haven't found anything, and I don't know if I missed that spot when I walked before."

After all, Jessica and I have limited memory capabilities. It is impossible to say that we can accurately remember how Jessica’s parents left after watching the video once or twice.

"Let's continue walking forward, or simply find a way to knock on the outer walls of these manors like my parents did many years ago. From the video, it doesn't seem like they are particularly strong. Maybe

We can also make a small hole to come out."

I nodded to agree with Jessica's idea, and then took out a small hammer from the small bag I brought with me. Jessica and I didn't bring this small hammer with us at the beginning, but we finally went out.

Jessica reminded me at the time, saying that if I brought a small hammer, it might be of some use. I thought about it and agreed, but I didn’t expect that it would actually be of great use now.

.

Through bushes and weeds, Jessica and I walked to the edge of the outer wall of the manor. We began to walk while gently tapping the surface of the wall with a hammer, and judged the location by the sound and feel of the tapping.

There may be some cracks, and we may be able to knock out a small hole.

However, Jessica and I were a little disappointed that the walls outside these manors were very strong. The wall we were watching in the video had some cracks and holes in it, but I also recalled

One detail is that there were no reinforcements such as steel bars in the small hole opened by Jessica's parents at that time. But at this time, I used a small hammer to knock out a small hole of about a few centimeters on the surface of the wall.

After that, at least two steel bars appeared.

With these steel bars, it is impossible for Jessica and I to just use a small hammer to open a small hole in these walls that can allow people to pass through.

Jessica and I looked at each other, and we both saw a little disappointment in each other's eyes, but we couldn't be defeated by a little setback like this.

I pulled Jessica up from her squatting position with my hands.

"It seems that your parents already knew the location of that special entrance before they came here, and it seems that it was the first time that the entrance was opened at that time. Then the problem arises. If your parents were also the first

If they came to this manor haunted house for the first time, how did they know about the special entrance? Is it related to the third person holding the video recorder? I always feel that his existence itself is very weird, and it always

The relationship between him and your parents seemed very delicate on the road."

"I remembered that in the video, my parents first argued about coming to this manor, and then the man with the video recorder also joined the quarrel. My parents also said that they came here because of the man with the video recorder.

The video recorder guy, but what did this guy say that made my parents decide to come here? At that time, my father said that they came here to get an important document. What exactly was this important document?

What?"

I fell into a brief silence, and just quietly took Jessica's hand and walked out of the area covered by shrubs and weeds, and returned to the street not far outside the manor.

The area where this manor is located is not actually a very deserted and desolate area. At least there are many blocks across the street from this manor. These blocks are places with a very good flow of people, but they are only separated by one street.

The manor here looked very desolate and dilapidated.

What's even more strange is that there are people cleaning the streets on the street next to the manor regularly every day, but the outer wall of the manor a few steps away is completely unattended, as if everyone is very afraid of this manor.

Generally, even the most basic weed cleaning is not done.

I told Jessica what I had discovered, and I could see from the changes in her face that she seemed to be quite confused about this issue, and more importantly, the existence of this manor was very important.

Obviously, it has greatly affected the development and construction of nearby areas. After all, the area occupied by this manor is really not small. If a private person owned such a large piece of land, it would be a very scary thing.

As far as I know, private land rights in the United States are permanent, so does this situation mean that the person who owns the land where this manor is located is still alive in this world, and he also deliberately shaped this manor into what it is today.

I really don’t believe that someone would be willing to use such a large manor that is obviously habitable as just a haunted house for an exhibition. How rich does this person have to be or what kind of huge problem is there in his brain to do this?

Something like this is coming.

I told Jessica this idea again, and Jessica was also lost in thought at this time. She said that some flashback information about this mysterious manor seemed to appear in her mind, but this information

It was too short, and there was no way she could reshape and reorganize them.

"I remembered, this manor, this manor."

Jessica spoke intermittently, and it seemed that she herself was in a very chaotic state. I tried to find a way to help her, but judging from her appearance, only she could help herself.

.

"What did you remember? Don't be too hasty. Speak slowly. Speak slowly."

"I remembered why my parents came to this manor back then, and I remembered what important document they were looking for."

"What is it?"

"Strictly speaking, this document is a top-secret document of the country. I only know that such a document exists, but I have never had the opportunity to actually see the contents of this document. I have also speculated about this document over the years.

What is the content of the document? All I can think of is something important about the cooperation between several large consortiums in the United States and the government. If this project needs to be kept absolutely confidential, it must involve important resources or mysterious weapons. It goes deeper.

It’s beyond our control, and it’s best not to know what’s going on inside.”

"Well, if that's really the case, why would your parents take such huge risks to find such a top-secret document that is beyond their control? Is their purpose just to pursue excitement?"

"It's absolutely impossible. My parents are definitely not the kind of people who do such things just for the sake of excitement. I think we should focus on the third person holding the camera. It's just that that person is really

It's so mysterious. We only saw a faint glimpse of him in the video, and it was still very blurry. He looked a bit like a staff member we saw at the door when we came to this haunted house last time. This is what we only know.

It’s about him.”

"Well, anyway, I prefer to believe your parents. If they choose to take the risk and come here, there must be a very good reason. Another such important top-secret document has appeared in this manor. Do we

It can also be said that the owner of this manor must be a very powerful person, and at this time, his purpose of opening this manor to the outside world becomes even more suspicious."

"What do you mean?"

"Well, the owner of this manor certainly can't open this manor because he has too much money to use or simply can't think about it, and he also introduces it to the outside world as a haunted house. This is not very clear logically.

One possibility is that he did this to attract someone or certain people, and these people are very important to him."

"So, the reason why the manor owner reopened this manor is probably related to the fact that my parents came here to look for top-secret documents. Could it be that the person this manor owner really wants to lure out is actually me?"

"It is not possible to simply make such an inference now. After all, we have been to this manor twice. Although some very bizarre things happened each time, and even these things cannot be considered with normal logic, but

We finally left the manor safely. If the owner of the manor really wanted to lure you out, then he has succeeded."

"Maybe he wants someone with a certain mark. Forget it, I don't know what to say. There are too many things in this matter that cannot be thought of logically. For us now , we are also faced with a decision, whether to continue to pursue this matter. It seems that the matter has gradually left the scope of our control."

"Well, I don't know if it's still possible for us to withdraw from this matter now, but I think the matter has already involved your parents, and you have been tracing the truth about your parents' disappearance, so this is what we are doing now A very important clue, are you really willing to give it up so easily?"

Jessica was silent for a long time, and I stared closely into her eyes. However, her eyes seemed empty and lifeless. For a moment, I even felt that her soul had left her body and flew to somewhere. Go, this was the first time I saw this situation in Jessica’s eyes, and I couldn’t help but frown.

I gently shook Jessica's shoulders, trying to bring her back to reality from her lost state. Fortunately, I just shook her gently, and she quickly came back to her senses. If her absent-minded look just now wasn't so weird, I wouldn't have believed that the person in front of me had been absent-minded just now.

"What did you think of just now? Why do I feel like your whole soul has separated from your body?"

"Hey, you won't believe it. At that moment, I felt like I had experienced something for a long time. I don't know if you have ever had that kind of experience. You were clearly experiencing it in your dream when you were dreaming. It has been a long, long time, but when you wake up, you find that only a few or more than ten minutes have passed. You cannot believe that you can experience such a long dream in such a short real time. "

"This, this situation seems to be real. Do you mean to say that you had a dream that was a bit long during the ten seconds when you were absent-minded?"

I looked at Jessica in disbelief, but she just nodded slightly.
