Reborn My Name Is Kobe

Jessica opened the book that recorded the affairs of this manor. It seemed that the importance of this manor was very important in Los Angeles. Its original full name was Amatar Manor, and this name seemed to be also

It's not from the local area.

We looked further down and found that the person who originally built this manor did not actually leave his real name. His public name was Faustin Wagner. However, according to subsequent investigations of him, it was found that this was not his original name.

There are more or less lies about his name, his birthplace and family members.

Some people claimed to have seen him on a cruise ship in the Caribbean staying with another woman, and they also brought another pair of children. Others said that he should have come from the other side of the Atlantic, along the channel from the island of England.

He came to the United States, but he must have been engaged in some kind of illegal activity when he was in England.

There are more and more rumors about him, but people are becoming less and less aware of what the truth is. In fact, the appearance of this family after they established this manor in Los Angeles is very inconsistent. On the one hand, their family

Members seem to be very enthusiastic about local dances and various public events, and they also donate generously to some charitable acts.

But on the other hand, they are very wary of their own manor. Very few people are qualified to enter their manor as guests. This does not mean that those dignitaries can gain additional advantages. In fact, it seems that regardless of the local

It is difficult for poor people or powerful people to accept invitations from their families to visit this manor, which at the time seemed magnificent and like a small palace.

Some people therefore suspected that Faustin had hidden some unknown and terrifying things in this manor. At first, people were just curious about this, but as the rumors spread further and further, and became more and more outrageous, people began to have more and more doubts about this manor.

Curiosity turned to fear, but the strange thing was that the owner of this manor, Sir Faustin, was indifferent to this.

He neither found anyone to refute the rumors, nor did he prove anything by inviting people to his manor. He acted as if nothing had happened.

Regarding his attitude, the locals suddenly became two factions. One side believed that there must be problems within Sir Faustin's manor, and he just wanted to fool people by pretending that nothing happened.

Another group of people believed that all this was just groundless speculation by people around him, and that Sir Faustin's ignoring of the rumors was actually the right thing to do. They believed that Sir Faustin, who seemed to be very decent, must not have been in his

There is something terrible hidden in the manor.

However, no matter how long such arguments exist, they will appear to be somewhat weak and of little value, because the truth will never come out simply through a few arguments.

Time has passed like this year after year, and still not many people have been invited by Sir Faustin's family to visit their magnificent manor. However, as time goes by, people have become more and more interested in their family and this place.

Speculations about the estate have finally become less intense. After all, the Faustin family has been very enthusiastic to the outside world for many years. They have always participated in many local events in Los Angeles, which has also diluted people's respect for them.

Suspect.

But there are some people who have been secretly observing Sir Faustin's family, but they have always suffered from not having the opportunity to enter this manor to find the answer.

It is said that on a dark cloudy evening, this group of people formed a team of about five people. They planned to sneak into the manor under the cover of night to find some answer that the locals had never known.

No one knows what they saw and encountered in the manor that night, because when they returned home the next day, they were basically delirious, even if some of them seemed to be conscious.

, but has also lost the ability to speak. After this incident was exposed in Los Angeles, the Faustin family and their mysterious manor were once again pushed to the forefront.

However, no matter how the locals questioned Sir Faustin and his family members, they could not get the answer happily. Sir Faustin was very good at disturbing people's focus of thinking through the art of language, and he was also very good at making himself appear very important.

Innocent, the matter has been dragged on like this, because after all, those five people broke into Sir Faustin's manor, so there was no way to prosecute him for this.

However, after this incident, people began to gradually stay away from this kind of manor and the people in this manor. Sir Faustin usually behaved too perfectly, which aroused people's suspicion and fear even more.

A new round of rumors about his past experiences continue to ferment. Sir Faustin seems to have become the local vampire Count Dracula in Los Angeles, and many bizarre legends about him have been fabricated.

Although most people know that these remarks are very ridiculous, they still like such stories very much, just like people's various imaginations of ancient and mysterious European medieval castles. They suddenly discovered this Faustin family's

The manor was very much like a European medieval castle in many aspects, so people gradually began to believe this story, believing that Sir Faustin had terrifying mysterious powers and could drive others crazy by looking at him with his eyes.

Various horror stories about the interior of the manor have also been fabricated. No one knows which story is based on the truth and which story is unfounded. The only thing that is certain is that these stories will become more and more terrifying.

.

However, the very strange thing is that Sir Faustin's family has no reaction at all to all the speculations and slanders surrounding their family. They are like people living in another world, and some even

Sometimes they do show emotional reactions that normal people are unlikely to have, which makes them even more mysterious.

Because many local people in Los Angeles no longer dare to deal with the Faustin family, the Faustin family often has fewer and fewer outsiders to come into contact with, and they themselves have become more closed. The gate of the manor

It was kept tightly closed.

Seeing this, Jessica and I couldn't help but shed a trace of cold sweat on our backs. We never thought that this manor had such a story at the beginning. Thinking that now it is directly owned by its owner.

Now that it’s open to the outside world, I can’t help but feel that everything is so interesting.

But it’s no wonder that few people are willing to enter this manor now. It seems that the mysterious legend about this manor still has a long history in Los Angeles. Perhaps many adults will know it when their children are still very young.

Treat the legends about this manor as a fairy tale before going to bed, and make this manor particularly scary in order to scare them.

Anyway, Jessica and I had some discussions about the first half of the story of this manor. According to what we know so far, Sir Faustin is probably from England, and the name Faustin is just his name.

changed his name. As for what his real name is, it has not yet been determined.

In addition, Sir Faustin's family appears to be very complicated. His announced family members include a wife, two sons and three daughters. However, according to some local investigations and reports, Sir Faustin has at least two previous wives.

As well as at least five children, these wives and children did not appear in his subsequent life, so this is still questionable.

Sir Faustin was very actively involved in the establishment of the city of Los Angeles at the beginning, and even gave people the impression that he was too active. His money and wealth seemed to be endless, and he was extremely generous to outsiders.

Generous, perhaps it is for this reason that his deliberate hiding of his manor is even more weird. In addition, he is never willing to talk about anything related to this manor directly. It is no wonder that so many people doubt him.

.

Jessica and I have been to that manor three times. From my personal experience, if it were placed more than a hundred years ago, the size and luxury of this manor would indeed be called a small palace, although there are many places inside today.

They are all dilapidated, but its overall layout, architectural planning, and control of details are amazing. This is just an intuitive feeling. There are more things in it that may require some professional knowledge to understand.

There is no doubt that there are a lot of eccentricities hidden in this manor, just like the feelings of the neighbors who first lived around Sir Faustin. Sir Faustin's manners are elegant and decent, but in many ways he is too perfect to be like a real person.

, of course we don’t know whether this statement is caused by the local people’s personal jealousy of Sir Faustin or whether Sir Faustin is really like that. Just through a few black and white photos that have traveled through more than a world,

Jessica and I have no way of telling the truth.

However, from another perspective, what does the current truth mean to Jessica and me? Of course, Jessica’s parents have also visited this manor, and they said that there is something hidden in this manor.

A top-secret document, its existence is likely to affect the lives of many, many people.

Time passed very quickly, and the closing time of the museum was coming soon. Jessica and I had no way to continue reading, and there was no way to lend these records out.

And our understanding of this manor is just the beginning. After repeated discussions with Jessica, we decided to come here again early tomorrow morning to learn all the information about this manor.

once.

With mixed emotions, Jessica and I left the museum, but at this moment, I felt a vague sense of uneasiness deep in my heart. I didn’t tell Jessica this because I didn’t want her to feel guilty about it again.

Adding more worries, it's clear that although clues to his parents are beginning to emerge, the clues themselves are becoming more and more complicated, and we don't know when the starting point is and when it will end.

An hour later, Jessica and I returned to her home. However, I did not follow Jessica into her house immediately. Instead, I planned to go to a gym near Jessica’s home to practice hard, and Jesse

Ka also told me that she would try to cook a few dishes and let me try the dishes she made. Of course, I happily agreed.

When I entered this pretty good-looking gym, several burly black men came towards me, but they had smiles on their faces at this time, otherwise their posture would be really serious.

It's easy to scare people.

"Hey Kobe, we are all your fans

, I’m glad to see you here, I’m not bragging, the equipment in this gym is better than the NBA, if you don’t believe me, look at my biceps.”

I shook hands with them respectively to express our friendship. It was quite stressful to shake hands with these guys. Some of them deliberately squeezed hard when shaking hands. Of course, this is actually quite normal. This is a kind of relationship between men.

A friendly way to express yourself.

They seemed very enthusiastic. They first took me to visit this large gym. At least in terms of scale and hardware equipment, I felt that this gym was indeed perfect. In fact, I don’t really need all the complete fitness equipment. Of course

There are definitely only advantages and no disadvantages to having fitness equipment as complete as possible.

One of the important reasons why I chose this gym is that it is close enough to Jessica's home and I can come anytime I want. Secondly, if it is good enough, I will be very happy.

To be honest, the fitness enthusiasts here are really hardcore. Their fitness level is so high that you probably won’t find many with the same level in the whole of Los Angeles. It seems that what they said about the equipment being better than the NBA is not complete.

It's bragging.

I quickly got into a heated fight with these guys. Although they may not be more than six feet tall, some of them weigh as much as Shaq. Of course, we NBA players can't put our muscles on them.

Training like them, these balloon-like muscles will greatly weaken our body's flexibility and endurance, so in fact it is impossible for me to train muscles in the way they like. For me, there is a set that is more suitable for me.

training mode.

If there is a fitness competition, I will definitely lose to them, but if they want to compete on the basketball court, I can probably defeat at least five of them by myself (manual funny).

These guys wanted to test their strength with me at the beginning, but what should I say, these guys' arms are thicker than my thighs, even Shaq's arm muscles don't look like that

Horrible, I don’t know whether their muscles come from natural exercise or taking hormones. Of course, what I say may be nonsense. It is impossible for these people to exercise like this without taking hormones. The problem is just eating.

Just how much.

I originally didn't want to have a so-called competition with them, but it turned out to be too warm. Everyone in the gym became very excited because of the arrival of me, an NBA star. After all, I am the future star of the Los Angeles Lakers.

If you come to this gym frequently to exercise in the future, you will undoubtedly be advertising for them for free.

So soon the person in charge of this gym came out and had a friendly exchange with me, and immediately agreed to give me at least two years of experience as a senior member of the gym. I thought to myself, how could I still have experience after being a senior member for two years? Later I thought

I guess I can't accept this kind of gift from others in private. After all, I am a public figure. If my agent finds out, I don't know how they will scold me. So in the end, I politely declined the offer from the gym manager.

With good intentions, I spent real money and US dollars to become a senior member here for one year. You know, I don’t need this kind of money. It’s not worth it to ruin your reputation for a small gain.

Originally, the gym wanted to enhance the atmosphere of the scene and arrange a temporary small competition, but I didn't have much time, so I promised them that I would come here often if I was free in the future. I just came here to take a look today.

, and then I was ready to leave before I could really move my arms and legs.

Of course, I was very touched by the warm welcome from these fitness enthusiasts. I left a lot of autographs for them before leaving. Don’t underestimate the explosive power of these black men with muscles that bulge like balloons.

It’s still very scary. It’s not that outsiders think that people who work out are so-called dead muscles. A few guys showed me their jumping ability on the spot. What I didn’t expect was that they could have more than one meter of body weight based on their weight.

The above jumping ability is different from the light feeling of ordinary thin people when they jump. Their whole body is like a small steel bullet. If this kind of guy wants to dunk you, I bet he can definitely knock your whole body out.

They were all pushed into the basket.

After watching their excellent jumping display, I also went to show off my own jumping. In fact, I gave up on several opportunities to measure my jumping before. This time I really wanted to know my own accurate jumping.

This gym has a very advanced jumping measuring instrument, which can be accurate to the millimeter. After doing some warm-up exercises, I started the jumping test. The first thing I did was to test my ability to take off on the spot. This ability requires a very strong person.

In terms of leg muscle strength, this kind of jumping method is actually not my best, so even if I tried my best, I could only jump up to a height of 101 centimeters.

This height didn't even allow me to touch my head to the basket after jumping up, but compared to my slightly mediocre jumping ability, my rushing and jumping ability is extremely good. I tested two different approach jumps.

, one is taking off from one foot, and the other is taking off from both feet.

The maximum jumping height of my single-footed jump is an astonishing 115 centimeters, while the maximum jumping height of my two-footed jump is only 108 centimeters. This shows that my best way of taking off is the one-legged jump with a running approach. In normal competitions,

It also showed vividly in the game. The fast break counterattack I launched after stealing the opponent's ball had very terrifying speed and impact. I could take off and complete a dunk far away from the basket.

People in the gym around me were very surprised by my results, but they all said that if I could follow them to do special training on jumping ability, my jumping ability would definitely be improved to a higher level.

However, I am a little worried and say that I don’t want to increase my weight while improving my jumping. I need to maintain my current body shape, which is more conducive to me maintaining flexible steps and lower physical energy consumption. Excessive muscle mass is harmful to me.

I don't have a lot of benefits.

These guys looked at their muscles and smiled innocently, but they said they knew that as a professional basketball player, I had to stay in shape and control my mouth, but these jumping exercises were divided into many different types.

, there are also training programs specifically for NBA players. The biggest advantage is that it allows the trainers to have stronger leg explosive power, thereby obtaining more terrifying jumping speed and the ability to continuously take off.

They told me that in order for the muscles to reach an unimaginable level, one must stimulate the nerves that manage the muscles and make the nerves more excited than usual.

I know a little bit about their theories. In fact, these theories should be relatively advanced in this era, but they were nothing in the era of my previous life. It's just that I'm a little curious about what people in this era know.

In this regard, is there any way to effectively stimulate your muscles?

In the end, I did not discuss this issue further with these fitness enthusiasts. After all, I have spent a lot of time here and Jessica is still waiting for me at home.

I finally left this gym. It was a trap. I entered it for nearly an hour, but I didn’t even sweat when I came out. Just jumping a few times would not make me sweat. The rest

I spent a long time talking with these fitness enthusiasts and gym leaders.

However, during the conversation with them, I found that most of them seemed to be loyal fans of the NBA. Of course, they were also fans of the Los Angeles Lakers at this moment, as well as fans of Shaq and I, but it was obvious that these guys still knew a lot about football.

of.

The popularity of basketball in the United States is extremely scary. Even though these guys spend most of their time in the gym, according to themselves, their basketball skills are not bad. If they have the opportunity in the future, they will definitely

They want me to play ball and let me see the level of these amateur players.

Of course, there is still a huge gap between them and me, but after seeing that some of them who look fatter than Shaq can jump more than one meter, I do still look forward to seeing them on the basketball court.

See their true strength.

When I returned to Jessica's home, I smelled the aroma from the shop as soon as I entered the door. I can't remember when I taught Jessica how to make this kind of broth, but judging from the smell, it was already.

It's enough to make people hungry.

"Wow, Jessica, are your cooking skills already so good? This is the most fragrant broth I have ever smelled."

I followed the direction of the scent and walked to the kitchen. Jessica's kitchen was very large and had several very professional stoves. It could be seen that Jessica's parents also liked cooking food in the past, but it was a pity that they had not been there for a long time.

Outside, poor Jessica was left alone at home, unable to enjoy their delicious food.

The kind of broth that Jessica cooked was indeed not taught by me. When I asked Jessica about it, she told me that she made it based on her memories when she was a child. Her parents had made it more than once when she was young.

She made this kind of soup for her, and her memory of this soup was so profound that she recreated this soup many years later based on her own memory and feelings.

When I took my first bite of this extremely delicious soup, I felt as if I had fallen into a fairyland. This feeling is simply beyond any words that can be described. I hugged Jesse tightly.

Hold Ka in his arms.

Well, I suddenly discovered that Jessica also has a good talent for cooking. At least she should be able to cook any dish that impresses her. However, because of the taste buds of Europeans and Americans, many of my previous lives

Neither Jessica nor I can perfectly recreate the dishes, but perhaps it is because Europeans and Americans have less developed taste buds, so they are not so picky about what they eat. As long as we try our best, we can still do it.

reached a very high level.

In order to celebrate Jessica's achievement in making soup today, we drank a lot of red wine while eating dinner. Some of the red wine was taken out of Jessica's basement, and we are drinking it now.

The bottle of red wine is over 20 years old, according to Jessica.

In fact, I'm really not very good at appreciating red wine. It takes a lot of money to develop a particularly keen sense of smell for red wine. Not everyone has the capital to do it, even if Jessica and I don't.

We are short of money, but we may not really have the leisure and elegance to spend our energy on appreciating red wine.

Whether it’s a good wine or a great wine, it’s more of a special thing for Jessica and me.

A drink, a wonderful drink that can completely release our emotions. All the worries seem to have disappeared between being half drunk and not drunk. Finally, we can forget everything we should not remember, just for us.

I feel lucky to still be alive and happy.

Jessica had basically fallen into a deep sleep after the meal, and I myself was not much better, lying on the sofa in a state of sleep but not dreaming.

Several hours passed before I knew it. When I woke up again, I felt a little dizzy. After I washed my face with cold water in the bathroom, I gradually returned to my sober state.

middle.

"Jessica, where are you?"

When I woke up, my first thought was to find Jessica, wondering if she was still asleep.

Sure enough, when I came to the living room again, I found Jessica lying on the stool and asleep. I picked her up and put her on her own bed, and then covered the bed.

I walked out of Jessica's bedroom, but at a glance I found that the door to Jessica's parents' room was opened at this time. I thought it was Jessica who opened it herself, but I don't know what she did in it.

What.

When a slight headache came over my head, I rubbed my temples vigorously, trying to wake myself up completely.

I gently pushed the half-opened door open and found that the lights inside were bright. This slightly aroused my suspicion. Thinking of Jessica's appearance just now, Jessica who was already so drunk could really do this.

Come into this room?

But when I searched the room more carefully, I couldn't find much that was wrong at first. In other words, at least on the surface, nothing seemed to be wrong.

I checked the windows inside and outside the room again, and found nothing wrong. Finally, I went back to the door and checked the door carefully several times. The final conclusion

It seemed that I was too suspicious, as I didn't find anything out of the ordinary in this room.

After I gently closed the door to Jessica's parents' room, Jessica rubbed her eyes and slowly walked over to me.

"Jessica, do you feel better?"

I handed her a glass of water. After she took the water, she drank the whole glass in one breath. Then she seemed to feel a little more comfortable, and her eyes were much bigger than before.

The 囧囧有神 look is really cute.

"I haven't been so drunk for a long time. The stamina of this bottle of wine is indeed extraordinary. I have to be more careful next time, but the feeling of being drunk is really quite good."

"Jessica, I have a question for you. Do you still remember if you used a key to open the door to your parents' room after you were drunk?"

"Let me think about it."

Jessica fell into deep thought, and it seemed that for a moment she really couldn't remember whether she actually used the key to open the door to her parents' room.

"Then where is the key to your parents' room now?"

When Jessica heard this, she seemed to be stunned for a moment, and subconsciously reached into her pants pocket with her hand. When she slowly took out a key from her pants bag, I also

I haven't completely let go yet.

When I easily opened the door to Jessica's parents' room with the key that Jessica took out, my whole heart fell. But why did Jessica use the key to open the door to her parents' room?

Well, judging from her current appearance, she was probably in a state of unconsciousness at that time, which is indeed a bit too suspicious.

But at this time, I don’t want to pursue these matters anymore, as long as Jessica is safe and sound.

Jessica also slowly recovered from her drunkenness, and soon Jessica seemed to recall something. I looked into Jessica's eyes, trying to understand some meaning from her eyes.

"Jessica, I still feel a little strange about what happened tonight. Do you still have an impression of that drunken memory?"

"To be honest, I'm trying hard to recall what I did during that period of time. If I really used the key to open the door to my parents' room after being drunk and unconscious, it would be simply unbelievable.

Could it be that I was sleepwalking at the time? Can a sleepwalker do such a complicated thing as opening a door with a key without being aware of it? You must know that the shape of the key is not particularly consistent.

Door hole."

I lowered my head and thought silently, and after a moment, I hugged Jessica tightly into my arms.

"Tomorrow night there will be a game between the Lakers and the Houston Rockets. Because it is the home court of our Lakers, I plan to go to the court to practice early in the morning. You also know that I am now in a period of rising competitiveness. I must

I need to spend a lot of training time to improve my personal condition."

"Well, of course I can understand your thoughts. Just concentrate on practicing. Tomorrow morning I will go to the Los Angeles Museum of History to take a look and tell you about the Sir Faustin family and the manor.

Everything is fully understood.”

"Jessica, I have a bad feeling. I always feel that something is going to happen tomorrow morning. Forget it, I will accompany you to the History Museum tomorrow morning to collect all the information before going to Staples Arena to practice.

ball."

"Bryant, you are really great!"

I hugged Jessica tightly into my arms, and then carried her to the bedroom.

Early the next morning, Jessica and I woke up from our dreams one after another amidst the chirping of birds outside the window. Jessica and I went crazy last night.

I thought I would wake up late this morning, but according to the current situation, our sleep quality is super good. We slept until we woke up, and our overall mental state was at its best.

I took out my phone and looked at it. It was actually only seven o'clock in the morning.

An hour and a half later, Jessica and I drove back to the Los Angeles History Museum. It was still some time before the museum opened. Jessica and I arrived at the entrance of the museum early to wait.

However, what surprised me was that there were several police cars parked in front of the Los Angeles History Museum at the moment. It seemed that something major had happened. The police cars blocked the onlookers on the isolation strip in front of the museum.

back.

"What happened?"

asked a young man carrying a satchel.

However, the policemen only focused on talking on their walkie-talkies and did not respond to the questions from the people around them.

A few minutes later, when more and more people gathered at the entrance of the history museum, and faced with more and more inquiries, a police officer who looked older and more experienced finally spoke.

"I am very sorry. I am afraid that the Los Angeles History Museum will not be able to open normally today. I would like to apologize to everyone on behalf of the director. The normal opening time of the museum will be notified separately. Please leave here as soon as possible if you have nothing else to do."

Jessica and I looked at each other. The situation at this time was obviously beyond our expectations. Things were obviously a bit strange. Why did Jessica and I come to investigate Sir Faustin and this building?

During the incident at the manor, the museum was unable to open due to certain issues, but the police were very secretive as to why it could not open normally.

Apparently, something unknown happened to the largest historical museum in Los Angeles just last night, which prevented it from opening normally today.

Facing the doubts from the people around him, this guy who looked a lot like the Los Angeles Sheriff became more determined. He directly asked his police officers to drive more and more people away. Just as I was following

When Jessica was also driven out by the police, reporters with extremely keen news senses also arrived at the scene.

I don’t know who told the reporters about this. The reporters who came this time seemed to have a good background. Of course, in an international metropolis like Los Angeles, anything that happens will be viewed under a magnifying glass.

Maybe this is why the Los Angeles police are so cautious when dealing with these matters.

Soon the first wave of conflicts between the police and reporters came. Jessica and I happened to be standing nearby watching the excitement. I didn’t expect that the reporters in Los Angeles had such strong energy, even in the face of the power of the police.

To back down, Jessica and I certainly didn't want to leave the scene just like that, even though the situation seemed to be developing in a direction we couldn't predict.

Jessica and I could only quietly watch the situation evolve. The most important thing is that we came to the Los Angeles Museum with an important mission. Unlike most of the people around us who had the mentality of watching the excitement,

If what happened in the museum is really related to Sir Faustin and the manor we are investigating, then there must be a huge conspiracy behind it.

Although I am unwilling to make any meaningless inferences without any evidence, the bad premonitions I have had many times since last night may just correspond to this incident.

The police and reporters were in a confrontation. It was obvious that this time the Los Angeles police must have received direct orders from their superiors to completely block information on the scene. Therefore, when facing more and more reporters, their attitude

Still very tough.

Jessica recognized the identities of some reporters who appeared at the scene. Many of them were reporters from international newspapers. She didn't know where they got the news from. They were able to arrive so early, and it seemed that this time

There were many big-name journalists and media outlets here. It is hard to imagine that just a temporary closure of an inconspicuous local museum could attract so much attention.

From this, Jessica and I also speculated that maybe there are some huge unknown secrets in the Los Angeles Museum, and behind all this there are pairs of invisible eyes and black hands, working secretly.

Planning all this.
