Reborn My Name Is Kobe

"Jessica, since we are here today, it is impossible not to go in and find out what is going on. If the owner of this haunted manor chose to open this place, it is very likely that it is to attract us to come here, then we will not hide.

Come on, go in and walk around openly, no matter what weird things are going on inside today, it can't stop us from finding the truth."

"Hmm, your idea is exactly what I am thinking now. Let's go in directly through the main entrance of the manor."

About ten minutes later, Jessica and I re-entered the Haunted Manor through the main entrance. Before entering the gate of the manor, we carefully observed the staff standing at the gate this time. However, it was obvious that the staff this time were not the same as the previous ones.

It was not the same group at the same time, and I was even a little doubtful whether the young men in front of me who looked like they were young were really the staff here, or whether they were just a few high school students pulled over from the roadside temporarily.

Jessica even stepped forward to chat with them for a few words, but the strange thing was that these guys who looked like high school students behaved quite maturely, and their speech and behavior were indeed not what high school students could show.

At this point, Jessica and I looked at each other, and instead of delving further, we walked straight into the door.

This time after Jessica and I entered the gate of the manor, we did not walk as we did the previous two times. Instead, we came directly to a trail on the edge of the main road. This trail looked like no one had walked on it for some time.

, but I unexpectedly noticed a detail, that is, the path was surrounded by a special kind of vines. The vines were broken while crossing the path. I knelt down and observed carefully.

After a while, I found that these vines had signs of damage caused by pruning, which meant that this trail was probably covered by these vines before, but later someone trimmed the vines to re-open the trail.

Restore smoothness.

Jessica seemed to have discovered this after walking up, but she didn't seem to show much surprise, and even started to walk forward directly on the path.

I followed Jessica and immediately set foot on this path. To be honest, when your feet step on this path, it really feels strange, like you are stepping on some kind of soft material.

It's the same thing, the material that feels similar to this is cotton and soft mud, but it's not that soft.

Because of this clay-like material, neither Jessica nor I are particularly fast. It feels a bit laborious to walk on it step by step, and because I weigh more than Jessica.

, so it was even harder for me to exert strength when walking on it.

"Jessica, this kind of ground feels really weird when you walk on it. Could it be that this was how it looked when it was first made?"

"Well, this is definitely not an ordinary stone or soil. The material that can produce this kind of softness and elasticity is really hard to guess. Moreover, the cost of paving such a long road for people to walk will also be

Relatively high.”

It took Jessica and I probably more than ten minutes to complete this section of the trail, but at the end of the trail there was a small garden, which looked very clean. This was what Jessica and I entered as soon as we entered.

What is particularly strange here is that the surrounding trees and flowers should produce a lot of fallen leaves and weed debris, but the garden that finally appeared in front of us in this garden turned out to be so clean.

This kind of cleanliness is different from the ordinary cleanliness that appears after someone cleans it frequently. To be precise, there will be some gravel and debris on the ground here, but there is no garbage related to plants and flowers at all.

There is a pavilion in the center of the garden that looks to be hundreds of years old. I took Jessica's hand and entered the pavilion. As soon as I entered the pavilion, I felt that the surrounding air suddenly dropped several degrees.

.

"Jessica, have you ever felt that the air around you has become a little chilly all of a sudden?"

Originally, my physical condition would not make me feel uncomfortable due to the sudden cold wind, but it is already mid-to-late November in the Gregorian calendar, and the average temperature in Los Angeles has dropped to below 15 degrees. In some places, it has even begun to

It's snowing, but at least there are no traces of falling snow near this manor.

Moreover, the temperature in Los Angeles in winter is generally not lower than ten degrees, so at this time, I was actually just wearing an autumn dress. Long-term exercise has made Kobe’s body metabolism very fast, and he is very sensitive to the ordinary cold.

Strong resistance.

"If you feel a little cold, then this cold air current must be quite obvious, but I couldn't feel this cold air just now, so..."

"So this is another strange thing that happened to us. Anyway, let's take a short rest in this pavilion first, and later we will find a passage into the house behind us.

"

"Well, actually I've been wanting to ask you a question."

Jessica suddenly asked me mysteriously.

"You said that as long as I know something, I will tell you the truth."

"I wonder if you've ever noticed that I seem a little strange at certain times."

I looked at Jessica blankly, not knowing how to answer her, and then a slight smile appeared on the corner of my mouth.

"The way you look now is quite strange, does that count?"

"I'm serious. I'm not joking with you. I need you to recall it seriously and answer me truthfully. This is very important to both you and me."

Looking at Jessica's eyes that were more serious and sincere than ever before, I fell into deep thought and memories. I said that it was very pleasant to get along with Jessica during this time, even though we didn't spend a long time together.

, but we have felt a sense of deja vu for each other since the first time we met. We are like a couple destined to be together in the previous life. Sometimes everything seems so natural, and there is less

Some special unexpected heartbeats.

However, this sense of familiarity also made me unknowingly ignore Jessica's existence many times, and I didn't care so much about everything about her. But when she asked me such a question so seriously at this time,

After the strange questions, I gradually felt that my usual understanding and care for Jessica was still too little.

Perhaps the most important thing deep in my heart is basketball. Have I neglected Jessica because I put too much energy into basketball?

When did Jessica show that something was wrong?

My eyes slowly closed again. When I once again fell into a state similar to meditation, every bit of the past relationship with Jessica slowly emerged in my mind.

.

"I'm sorry, Jessica, I really can't think of a time when something didn't feel right with you."

However, before my eyes were fully opened, Jessica's red lips pressed against my mouth. This feeling was so strange that I couldn't open my eyes.

At this moment, time seemed to slow down a lot, and the previous scenes with Jessica once again flashed through my mind like a movie, but this time these scenes flashed by.

The faster the speed, the more profound the impression they leave in the mind.

A few minutes later, I was still staring blankly at Jessica sitting opposite me. In fact, until the end, I couldn't find out from my previous memories when something particularly wrong happened to Jessica.

Then Jessica looked at me like this. This situation lasted for about three minutes. It was only then that I slightly discovered something was wrong with Jessica.

The thing that's not quite right is Jessica's eyes. As the saying goes, eyes are the windows to the human soul. Thinking of the difference between Jessica's eyes before and Jessica's eyes now.

"Jessica, when did your eyes change from blue to purple? It really feels like you've changed into a different person. It's so magical."

"Actually, it's not just my eyes that are changing. I can feel that there is a force in my body that is quietly awakening at this time. This makes me feel scared for no reason. It seems that there is another person living in my body.

A completely different me. Every time I think about this, I feel extremely flustered. I am afraid that one day I will wake up from my sleep and find that I am no longer under my control."

"Can you please stop saying these silly things? As long as I am here, I will not allow you to have any problems. We will definitely find the real reasons for these situations. You have to believe in yourself and me!"

I rushed over and hugged Jessica tightly.

"Your chest is really warm, so warm."

Ten minutes later, Jessica and I walked out of the pavilion, and then walked deeper into the garden. When we reached the other edge of the garden, we could vaguely see another road extending into the bushes.

Among them, and not far behind the bushes is where another large house in this manor is located.

This house is also a place we have not entered twice before. The place where it exists is very hidden. If you enter the front building of the manor directly from the main road of the manor, you will not be able to find that building in any case.

There is a rather small house behind it.

However, although this house is not small in scale, it looks very mottled, more like a building that has been ravaged by time, unlike the house on the front that has obviously been artificially repaired in the later period.

"Jessica, let's go and take a look at that house that we haven't been to before. I have a special intuition, which tells me that all the secrets are hidden there."

"Your intuition? Why have I never heard you mention it before?"

Jessica said jokingly.

"Of course my intuition won't appear easily. How can it be accurate if it appears every time, right?"

"Well, that's right, I'll just trust your intuition for once. If your intuition is wrong, I'll punish you to go back and cook for me for another week."

"I'm very happy, but if my intuition is right, you have to promise me something."

"whats the matter?"

"I haven't thought about it yet, but don't worry, it will definitely be a bit difficult!"

"Hmph, you are so bad!"

Jessica chased me and ran along the path towards the house.

Passing through the path that was half covered by bushes and weeds, Jessica and I finally came to the hidden house. The door of the house had been destroyed, revealing the pitch-black interior.

I took out a military strong flashlight from the package I carried with me. The light of this flashlight can be large or small. The most important thing is that its light penetrating ability is very powerful, and it can directly penetrate the environment full of dust and floating particles.

Use and provide good lighting effects. In addition, its light intensity can also be adjusted at any time according to the needs of the ligament to avoid wasting excess power.

Before entering, Jessica and I each put on a special small protective mask, which can block out most dust.

I took the lead with a flashlight in hand, and Jessica also took out a flashlight and followed closely behind me. Fortunately, Jessica and I made full preparations before coming, otherwise the difficulty of today's adventure would have been greatly increased.

of.

Under the illumination of a strong flashlight, everything in front of us seemed so transparent. In fact, because this house had been abandoned for a very long time, there was a lot of dust inside. As long as we walked around gently,

Once, it will bring up the dust all over the sky. At this time, the light transmittance performance of the strong light flashlight becomes very important.

"Jessica, I feel that this house has been abandoned for close to a hundred years. The thickness of the dust here and the degree of decay of the facilities have reached this level."

"Although I don't want to admit it, it is very strange for this house to appear here. Do you remember the photos we found in the room on the second floor of the house when we first entered the manor?

?”

"It's been a while, and to be honest, I can't remember the contents of those photos clearly anymore, but my impression seems to be that they record the living conditions of a family in this manor."

"I remember that this manor was built by the grandfather of the person who took the photo during the gold rush. More than a hundred years ago, Los Angeles gathered a large number of people from all over the country because of the western gold rush, and eventually it gradually became a construction

The main force in Los Angeles, if this estate was first established during the gold rush, then there is a problem."

"I still don't understand what your so-called problem is?"

"When do you think the house will be built?"

Jessica's words suddenly made me fall into deep thought. When I first entered this house, I did realize that it might have been pruned quite anciently. However, due to the decay of its materials and the ruthless erosion of time, it was necessary to

It is not easy to accurately determine when this house was built.

"Come here and take a look."

I followed Jessica through a small wooden door, and I was a little surprised by everything behind the wooden door.

The small wooden door was originally sealed, but Jessica tore it off with just a little force. Under the erosion of long time, the wood that should have been very hard and durable has now become as soft as tofu.

Fragile.

A circular hall appeared behind the wooden door. When Jessica and I used flashlights to shine around, we found seven pillars standing in the hall, with a brazier placed on each pillar.

Jessica took out a lighter and ignited one of the braziers. The flames quickly burned, and the light provided by one brazier was enough to completely illuminate more than a third of the hall.

I also took out the lighter and Jessica lit the remaining braziers. At this time, everything in the entire hall was presented in front of us. According to my visual inspection, the diameter of this hall should be more than 20 meters.

The surrounding area is covered with dense relief murals. To Jessica and I's surprise, the interior of this hall looked quite clean, at least it was much cleaner compared to the passage outside.

Is it possible that people come to this hall on a regular basis, and they also clean it and put enough fuel on the brazier?

"Jessica, I may not be able to find the answer to the question you asked me just now, because it's really impossible to tell the specific construction time of this building."

"Yeah, but one thing is for sure. This building was probably built earlier than the entire manor."

I was extremely shocked by Jessica's words.

"You mean that this hall probably existed very early on, and then someone built another house outside it in order to hide the existence of this hall, and the entire

This manor was also built next to this house, and according to the layout of the entire manor, it is difficult to find this building if you enter the manor from the front, so one of the very important purposes of the people who built the manor is

To protect and hide this hall."

"So this hall must have a very, very important role. Maybe the surrounding stone murals can provide us with some answers."

After Jessica finished speaking, she took my hand and walked towards the stone murals on the edge of the hall. As I walked, I carefully observed the furnishings and layout of the hall. It can be said that the structure of this hall

The form is indeed not very similar to a modern construction type, but very much like a place where ancient peoples performed religious ceremonies thousands of years ago.

"Jessica, there are several places in this hall that seem to have been artificially split apart. Something that was originally placed in the center of the hall has now disappeared, and there are many other remnants.

The traces also seem to be able to infer that this hall has undergone some kind of transformation, but it is still difficult to say what the real purpose of this transformation is."

"Everything here exists here and is strictly protected, which shows that the rituals held in this hall were very important, at least to the people at that time. Even today, there are still people doing this kind of rituals.

It goes on quietly."

"Jessica, come and see what kind of scene is depicted on the mural here."

Jessica walked to the mural where I was standing. This mural was also painted in the form of a relief. The mural showed an old man wearing a long robe and a beautiful crown stabbing a long sword into

in the chest of a young man.

"This man should be dressed like a medieval pope, right? Is he performing some kind of religious ceremony? Why does the pope need to kill this man himself, and judging from his actions, he is willing to be killed by the pope.

Yes, look at the people standing around the Pope. They are not actually dressed like priests. Instead, they should be warriors similar to knights. They are protecting the Pope or supervising what the Pope has done personally.

This ritual.”

"The next mural has a clearer picture. Even the Pope's expression seems to be vaguely discernible. What spurts out from the chest of the young man whose sword pierced the Pope is not blood, but something terrible.

These substances ignited everyone present, including the Pope, and the flames engulfed everything."

"Jessica, come and take a look. There are a few lines of strange characters engraved here. I can't recognize them anyway. Maybe you can remember if you have seen similar characters somewhere."

Jessica's eyes shifted to the strange characters I was looking at now. The characters were a little different from the previous relief murals. These characters were carved into the wall, and the carvings were very deep.

"Here, these characters are the characters used by the ancient Celts. I can't understand them all, and some characters in their culture have multiple meanings. If you can't fully understand the context in which the characters are located, then

There is no way to accurately translate what these characters mean."

"Try your best to use your knowledge to guess what these characters represent. They may also have some connection with the entire manor."

"Well, then I'll try hard to see if I can decipher these characters. But if I can't decipher these characters, then..."

"It doesn't matter. Just interpret these characters according to your own understanding. I believe there must be more things in this hall that can provide us with reference. We just need to look for them with a little more care."

All Jessica's energy was devoted to analyzing those strange characters, and at this time I was ready to look at other places around to see if I could find something in the surrounding details that we had overlooked.

details.

I first walked along the edge of the hall and took a rough look at the murals painted in the surrounding halls. I found that they were like a series of comic strips. If you keep looking and observing, you can more or less understand them.

You can find some clues through your own imagination, and you may even be able to completely connect these stories.

After I generally looked at the murals in the entire hall, I found that the murals here should mainly describe three major events. However, the time when these three major events occurred should be different, and they are very different.

Maybe they were separated by a long, long period of time.

And these three major events represent religion, war, and culture respectively. The major religious events all revolve around the Pope and some large-scale sacrificial ceremony held by him, while the war is a battle between modern firearms civilization and primitive civilization.

Judging from the picture, the unequal war is probably the colonial invasion of the American continent by European colonists hundreds of years ago, and the final culture is a description of a protracted debate conference, with many people who are very powerful in various fields.

People participated in this debate, but I have not been able to carefully look at the specific core of the debate.

After walking around the murals in the hall, I returned to Jessica's side. At this time, I found that Jessica's face was filled with an indescribable expression, on the one hand it was surprise and on the other hand it was...

With fear.

"Jessica, did you see something?"

I wanted to step forward to comfort Jessica, but her expression soon returned to normal. It seemed that she didn't want me to see the look she had just shown.

"Well, I really can't decipher and analyze all of these ancient Celtic characters, but I still learned something quite terrifying through the identification of some of the symbols."

"Well, just say it. No matter what scary things or stories there are, I will always be by your side."

"To be precise, this is a coordinate. This coordinate represents the place where something very powerful and important is stored."

"What kind of thing?"

"It is an ancient book of prophecy. According to these Celtic languages, this book was carved by believers of God at the place of creation. It has very powerful power and has been secretly influencing this world.

The fate of the world."

"So where is this book of prophecy from myths and legends placed now?"

"You may sound like this is all a bit unbelievable or too strange, but if I understand the meaning of these characters correctly, the hall we are in now was used to store the book of prophecy.

The place."

"But looking at the situation around us now, this Book of Prophecy should no longer be here. That means someone has taken away the Book of Prophecy. Look at the things that have been moved and modified in this hall.

There are no traces here, it should have lost the function it had when it was first built."

"Yes, the information we can get from here is still quite limited. We just know that such a mysterious book exists, but where it is now and who took it away and when are unknown.

And know.”

"When you deciphered these characters just now, I also looked carefully at the other murals around me. The events depicted in these murals were separated by at least thousands of years, but the carving time of these murals should have been not long ago."

"How can you be sure that these murals were all carved at about the same time?"

"Without professional tools, I really can't get accurate data and answers, but look at the well-preserved condition of these murals. Do you know why?"

"Is it because the material used to carve these murals is somewhat special?"

"That's right, this is not an ordinary stone such as marble or granite, but a very rare stone. In fact, there are not many of it on our earth. Generally, its large-scale appearance depends on the strength of meteorites.

."

"Yeah, you still know these things?"

"Of course these are just my guesses. If these murals were carved at very different times, there will be very obvious differences. Otherwise, try using a knife to scratch the surface of these murals."

Jessica actually took out a military knife and carved several times on the rock of the mural, leaving several obvious marks.

"You are right. The parts of these stones exposed to the air will undergo a slow chemical reaction with the air, and the color change will become larger and larger as time goes by. From the color of the surrounding mural rocks,

From the looks of it, they should indeed be products of the same era."

"Think about it. The contents depicted in these murals are hundreds or even thousands of years apart, but they were carved at very close times. When do you think these murals might have been carved?"

"If you think according to normal logic, it must be an era after these events occurred. But if you think about the prophecy book once stored in this hall, does it mean that the actual carving era of these murals is a period of time?

A very, very ancient era, and the content in the murals is actually based on the language content described in this book of prophecy."

"Well, this is an inference that seems to be tenable, but why do they spend so much energy to carve out the contents that have already been written in the prophecy book?"

However, there was no way Jessica and I could gain more by continuing to struggle with this issue, so we could only drop the topic a little bit. In the end, Jessica and I confirmed that there were indeed enough people in this hall.

What useful information, but with our current level of knowledge, there is currently no way to unravel the doubts surrounding all of this.

Because the video recorders or cameras of this era are relatively large, neither Jessica nor I carried any equipment that can take pictures with us today. Both of us could only look at the reliefs in the hall over and over again.

, we want to record them in our brains. Of course, our brains don’t actually have that powerful memory. At most, we can only remember as many as possible.

Jessica and I also found several sealed passages in this hall, but these passages were completely sealed at this time, and there was no way to further enter them without special tools.

So in the end, Jessica and I could only stop here. So far, our adventure in the Haunted Manor can be said to have made great discoveries, but the bigger mysteries that followed made us

Falling into confusion, then Jessica and I must make a decision about whether to continue to explore. Of course, there is no doubt. It is just how to explore and when to explore.

Such a simple thing.

After Jessica and I walked out of the hidden building, we both looked into each other's eyes, and then we couldn't help but smile slightly.

It was like I had just experienced many, many things. The feeling of seeing the sun again was really wonderful. I lay down directly on the grass and enjoyed the chill brought by the slightly cool dew.

The chill made my originally chaotic mind become sober again. I closed my eyes to think for a few seconds and then opened them again. Even if my eyes were staring directly at the position of the sun, I would not feel any glare.

"The secret of this haunted manor has still not been solved, but I feel that I am very tired and don't want to go any further. Maybe we will have to come here again next time. I hope that we can not do it again by then.

So tired now."

Jessica also lay down next to me, imitating my example and enjoying the feeling of the breeze blowing on her face.

"Jessica, I agree with your idea. This time we should not continue to explore. Even the murals we just saw are enough for us to digest for a long time. Let's take some time to go back.

Check out some relevant information, especially some records in the local history of Los Angeles, and see if there are any records about this manor and older things."

"The history of our founding of the United States is only two to three hundred years, but if you look at these murals, everything recorded in these murals obviously comes from a very, very ancient era, regardless of whether the book of prophecy actually existed or not.

One thing is for sure: this place is definitely not the place where they were first discovered or made."

"That's true. This place should have been a barren land hundreds of years ago. How could anyone spend so much effort to trim a hall like that? Moreover, the carving techniques and civilization symbols inside all come from

They are from the distant European continent, but who brought them to where they are today."

"I do know that there is a museum of ancient documents near Los Angeles. It will also contain everything that has happened since the city of Los Angeles was founded. It is said that most of the important events that happened in this period of history are there.

There will be records, and every citizen has the right to go there and visit those historical records."

"This system is really good. Even though we in the United States do not have a long history, we respect every period of history enough and can record everything truly and completely. It is very important and valuable for people at that time and for future generations.

"

Jessica and I followed the original path back to the gate of the Haunted Manor. Looking at the time display on our mobile phones, it was already past three in the afternoon. So much time had passed without realizing it.

"Jessica, why don't we go to that museum by the way now? Anyway, if we have a car and the distance is not far, we can go and find out all of this today. You have to keep these secrets and questions deep in your heart.

The feeling is really very painful.”

Jessica also agreed with my proposal. The history museum is about a 40-minute drive from here, and there was a slight traffic jam on the road. When we finally arrived, it was already after four o'clock, but there was still time before the museum's closing time.

It lasted nearly two hours. If we pay closer attention, we might be able to find some more important documents.

This local history museum in Los Angeles looks a bit old to be honest. It seems that it has gone through a long period of vicissitudes from the time it was built to the present. Of course, this may also be due to the influence of the cultural relics in this museum.

Bar.

In fact, I have always been very interested in history, but this time we have limited time and cannot waste our limited energy on other irrelevant historical events. We must concentrate on finding the manor in Los Angeles.

All relevant information.

However, this historical museum may not be big, but it is not small either. It has a complete record of all kinds of things that have happened in Los Angeles since the founding of Los Angeles, including not only the big events that are very famous in history.

, there are also some important events left by ordinary people, which cover all aspects of history, geography, economy, politics, humanities, etc.

It is precisely for this reason that Jessica and I want to lock in the information of that manor in a short period of time. This in itself is quite difficult. The most important point is that we do not know the information of this manor.

exact name, so there is no way to easily find information related to this manor in the file index.

In this regard, Jessica tried to find information that may be related to this manor through other methods. For example, we know that the original builder of this manor was a man who came from all over the United States during the period when the gold mining industry in the West was booming.

People gather in western cities like Los Angeles for the sake of wealth, and some of the successful people have the strength to build a large estate there.

According to this clue, Jessica and I did not spend too much time to find information about a manor that was closely related to the gold mining era. However, when Jessica and I opened the book that recorded the information about the manor, we were all confused.

We had an incredible look on our face, because several photos included in this record book were almost identical to the photos we saw when we first went to this manor. Could such ancient photos have been specially developed at that time?

How many copies are out?

After seeing this, Jessica and I were basically certain that this was the historical information about the manor we were looking for.
