The choice in front of the three of us is quite difficult now, but from another point of view, we don't really have any choice now, we can only continue to move forward, and it is possible to find a way out.

Jessica and Robert, after experiencing a rather panicked state at the beginning, gradually returned to a normal state, at least they also began to calm down again, and were able to stop thinking so much and continue to move on.

It was precisely because of the tension in the atmosphere that even though we hadn't gone too far, it still felt like we had been walking for a long time, and every time I walked a distance, Jessica would ask me if I saw an exit ahead, and every time I would patiently explain to Jessica that there was no other exit.

However, this passage is indeed long enough, but unfortunately my mobile phone has stopped moving at this time, so I don't know how long we have been walking, in this closed environment, we humans will have some errors in the perception of time and space, and we can't feel the normal passage of time correctly.

"Jessica, let's stop and rest for a while, it's not a good idea to go on like this."

Jessica and Robert stopped a little when they heard me, their eyes on me at this point, as if they wanted to know what better I could do.

"Did you think of a better way?"

Jessica's eyes were full of anticipation.

But I could only shake her head in disappointment, in fact, I did think of some things just now, but I wasn't particularly sure if these things were true, so I didn't say it.

"Say what you think, we have to think about all the possibilities now, we can't just stay here and wait for death."

"You don't have to worry so much, because this passage will definitely have an exit anyway, and the reason why we feel that we haven't found the exit for a long time, and thus feel particularly panicked, is that the main reason is that we are in this claustrophobic environment, which will cause us to have some illusions about the normal passage of time, so as to mislead us, thinking that we have been walking for a long time, but in fact it is not that bad at all, maybe we can find the exit after walking a little longer."

I patted Jessica on the back gently, trying to make her relax a little, although the situation in front of me seems quite weird, but we have been through so much together, I believe that the difficulties in front of us are only temporary, since we have chosen to come to this manor, we have chosen to face these difficulties and possible dangers, no matter what, we have to overcome ourselves, and then defeat these demons.

"In fact, I also found some special situations along the way, I don't know if you have found it, the passage we are walking on now is not straight, but moving forward in a certain arc, and there seems to be no height difference, which means that this passage is likely to be a closed circular channel, if that is really the case, the real exit of this passage is likely not to be directly in front of us, but may be above our heads or on both sides, Of course, it is not ruled out that it may be under our feet, so I think that during the next trip, we should take a closer look at the surrounding cave walls and try not to let the exit run away from our eyes. ”

Robert also said his thoughts, to be honest, I actually had this idea just now, but because this idea only flashed in my mind, I didn't think about it as deeply as he did.

"Okay, I agree with you, but whether your guess is correct or not, we're going to have to slow down a little bit and try not to miss any of the surrounding positions, each of the three of us looks at one side separately, I look straight ahead and up and down, and you look at the left and right sides and parts of the top of your heads, so if there is an exit, we will definitely be able to find it."

Robert and Jessica both nodded in agreement, and our pace of progress slowed down a lot, in fact, we didn't feel more relaxed because of the slowdown, but because the nerves were in a state of tension, and felt quite tired, this fatigue is psychological, after all, in terms of my physical fitness, it is impossible to feel tired after walking a few steps, but in this oppressive environment, there will be an invisible psychological pressure, which makes me think that it is difficult not to be tired, Presumably, Jessica and Robert at this time will feel the same way I do.

We walked cautiously forward, time seemed to become more slower in this case, but as we slowly focused, we gradually stopped thinking about time, after all, all our attention at this time was basically focused on the area we wanted to pay attention to.

I don't know how long this lasted, but we finally noticed something different from before, a bright light appeared above our heads, and it seemed to shine through a hole in the upper part of the passage.

All three of us were immediately drawn to the light, feeling that we hadn't seen the sun for a long time, and even a small ray of light made us feel an indescribable power rushing over us.

"The presence of light means that there is an exit directly above us to the outside."

Robert's voice was a little excited, in fact, I was in a similar mood at this time, this ray of light gave us a glimmer of hope, and then we need to slowly expand this hope into a force that is enough to support us to go out.

I took out a string of rope from my backpack, and then hung a small iron hook on one end of the rope, this rope was specially asked by Jessica to bring it when I went out, it seems that this rope was also left to her by her parents, we didn't bring this rope with us when we came here to explore before, or it didn't work, and today I was finally able to play its role.

I held the hook in one hand and the rope in the other, and then aimed at the small hole above my head, and threw it hard, but the first time it didn't work, Jessica signaled me not to panic, be careful, the hook of this iron hook is still very sharp, be careful not to let it hurt when it falls.

Then I tried a few more times, but in the end I couldn't succeed, I couldn't help but feel a little frustration in my heart, at this time Jessica took the hook from my hand, and then the attention was quite concentrated, I looked at her aiming so seriously, as if suddenly became another Jessica, and now I suddenly had a feeling, as if there was another Jessica living in the depths of Jessica's heart.

I remembered that during this expedition, she had climbed up the canopy of the big tree alone to get the keychain, had opened the stone door with the transformation key, and now seemed to be able to throw the iron hook into a small hole quite neatly, and Jessica was indeed a little different from her usual appearance.

Of course, I don't want to doubt Jessica about these things, even if there is a different Jessica living in her heart, isn't there still Kobe's soul living in my subconscious, it seems that we are really a couple, but I don't know whose soul will live in Jessica's subconscious at this time?

Jessica didn't disappoint us at all, she hooked the small hole in the top of the cave with just one iron hook, and then she pulled hard a few times, and the hole was directly opened into a bigger hole, and more sunlight shone in along the bigger hole at this time, and it seemed that there was really an exit here.

Jessica caught the falling hook, and then threw the hook to the hole that had been torn open a lot for the second time, this time she threw the hook to the position is also quite accurate, directly hooked the edge of the hole, so that the hook of the hook is stuck in it, Jessica asked me to pull it.

I pulled hard and found that this time the hook was very stuck, and Jessica took the rope, as if trying to climb up the rope first.

I stopped her, because I was a little worried that the rope wasn't strong enough and that it would be dangerous for her to climb like that.

Jessica pushed me away, a confident smile on her lips, as if to say that it was just a piece of cake for her.

When I saw Jessica's smile, I couldn't help but believe her a little, as if her confident smile made it impossible for me not to believe her.

Then I stood down and prepared to protect Jessica, and if she didn't hold on to the rope, or if the hook didn't hold on, at least I would be able to catch her if she fell.

The height of this hole from the ground is not high, it is not low, it is about more than three meters, in fact, I think I might be able to catch the top of the cave if I jump directly, but now I have to react, maybe I can really do it.

However, at this time, Jessica had already climbed halfway, and I found that she was really very athletic, holding the rope with her hands, and climbing up quickly with her feet on the wall, just like a female soldier in the special forces, which was really impressive.

Jessica quickly climbed to the top of the cave and then made a gesture to us that there was no danger up there, and told us to get ready to climb up as well.

At this time, I wanted to try my bounce, so I took a few steps back, then sprinted at a very fast speed, and finally jumped up with both feet, I didn't expect the height of the top of the cave to be higher than I expected, I couldn't directly grasp the edge of the hole, but I still grabbed the rope, this time the rope was pulled down by me hard, the whole top seemed to shake, but finally stabilized.

I found that my touch height was less than 30 centimeters away from the entrance of the cave, and my limit touch height was about 3.7 meters, but maybe because the ground on the side of this cave was relatively soft, so I couldn't fully exert my bounce power, so the hole was quite strong.

Then I also successfully pulled the rope to the top of the cave, and finally I worked hard with Jessica to pull Robertra up, to be honest, this guy's weight is really a bit big, I feel that the top of the hole is almost unable to support his weight, but in the end, the top of the cave is still stable, and it did not collapse in the end.

After we got up to the top, the whole person was a little more relaxed, and now I think about it, I feel a little scared, what if there is really no exit in that hole, if there is no breath of sunlight in this hole, how long will we be trapped in it?

"After this incident, I have learned a lesson, that is, don't rush into some doors that you don't know where they lead, because you never know if this door will disappear directly after you enter."

Robert sat panting on the ground, I don't know if he was tired or frightened, of course, I can still understand his mood at this time, in fact, I don't feel a little lucky now, maybe I should also learn a lesson, don't think that I can really figure out all the secrets in this world, I probably don't have that kind of ability.

Jessica was now back to her usual appearance, and we stood up to find that the surrounding area was a very desolate meadow, which no longer seemed to be near Sir Faustin's manor.

The three of us looked at each other, and we all had a common question in our hearts, that is, where are we now?

"Jessica, where are we now?"

I subconsciously took out the phone in my bag, and was very surprised to find that the time on the phone started to move again.

Jessica took out her phone as well, and it seemed to be just over a minute faster than mine, and that was really the time difference between us coming out of the hole.

When I thought of the hole, I looked back and saw that there was still a hole in the hole, and there were weeds around us that were no more than ankle high, and there were still traces of the hole.

After discovering this strange situation, the three of us looked at each other again.

"NND, this trip is really refreshing my cognition, is it really possible for anything to happen?"

"It's a bit scary, but it's good to get used to it, we have to determine where and when we were brought by the space-time rift." Robert said.

"Now that our phone timer is back to normal, does that mean we're back in the normal timeline, when we first entered the manor, but it's hard to say exactly where that is."

We had no choice but to take bus 11 and walk outside, and we didn't know how long it had been, and we came to a real station, which turned out to be a suburb of Los Angeles, and seemed to be dozens of kilometers away from Sir Faustin's estate.

We found another pedestrian and asked for today's date, and found that it was indeed the date we entered the manor, but the most strange thing was that our time at this time was still advanced, because the time we entered the manor was at least after noon, and we now found that the sun seemed to be on the way to the highest point, and it seemed that the current time was about ten o'clock in the morning.

"I'm going, we're even back a few hours before we went to the manor, and I really don't really understand what kind of law this space-time rift is going on."

"Forget it, I can't figure out the principle anyway, so just don't think about it, at least I won't have so many troubles."

We have appeared this kind of thought many times, anyway, we can't figure out what is going on, so we simply don't care, anyway, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and the boat is naturally straight to the bridge, and it really doesn't make sense to think about it.

We took a taxi and went back to the gate of Sir Faustin's manor, and found that our car was not parked at the gate of the manor, and we did not have the courage to go to this mysterious manor again, so we were able to let the taxi pull us back to Jessica's door.

To Jessica's and I's surprise, Jessica's car was parked in front of her house at this time, and Robert saw this and guessed that his car might still be parked in front of his house.

For some unknown reason, we were transported to the plane before we set off for Sir Faustin's estate.

After we said goodbye to Robert, we were ready to go back to Jessica's house.

At this moment, I suddenly remembered something, and wanted to find something in the backpack, but I suddenly did not remember what I was looking for, and it seemed that there was something very important that I had put in the backpack, and I couldn't remember it at all.

I couldn't remember what that important thing was, and I didn't know if I had found it, but when I asked Jessica about what had happened in the manor, she froze, and told me that she had no idea what we had done or seen in Sir Faustin's manor today.

I froze, because the reason I was asking Jessica was because I had forgotten what was going on in our trip to the manor.

When I closed my eyes and pondered for a moment, and then opened them again, I had forgotten that I had even forgotten that I had been to Sir Faustin's manor with Jessica to-day, and that I had forgotten all about my encounter with Robert and going to the manor together.

I haven't seen Robert since, in fact I can't find a single person named Robert on my phone, and I never see a person named Robert when I go to the gym near Jessica's house.

I put my arm around Jessica's shoulders and went back to her house, feeling a little empty in my head, like I hadn't slept well at night and then had some mental swings.

Jessica and I didn't seem to have any energy on this day, and I didn't go out to play anywhere in the afternoon, so I watched a good movie at home for an afternoon, and Jessica also liked the most adventure-oriented movies when she watched the movies, of course, I still like it very much, we are both very similar in movie preferences, and western cowboy movies are also very good.

Jessica and I went to look at some old western cowboys from the seventies and eighties, and the western cowboys of that era always had a special feeling, and I think it was actually quite good.

I won't go into any more detail about the day, we both went to bed early in the evening, we didn't watch the tapes anymore, and we got up early the next day because there was another home game in Los Angeles against the Denver Diggers.

I also trained from morning to evening, just like I did in the previous game against the Pistons, because I had already said a lot about the details of my training, so I will skip the process here and jump straight to the evening game.

Before the start of the game, head coach Silver Fox Harris organized a rare team-wide tactical training for the team, in fact, the team-wide tactical training we conducted before the home game against the Rockets was quite effective, and this tactical training was also carried out before the home game.

We have won five games in a row against the Nuggets, and a win against the Nuggets would increase the winning streak to six, which would have brought our Lakers' overall record to the top two in the league, just one and a half wins less than the Chicago Bulls, and even our record would be better than the Utah Jazz, who are also in the West and are very strong.

Our biggest opponents in the West this season are the Utah Jazz and the Houston Rockets, and this season we have won both games with the Rockets, while we lost the game with the Jazz, and the loss was quite miserable, which also means that the Utah Jazz team's style of play seems to be more restrained by our Lakers, so we really can't take it lightly.

In the pre-game scouting report, I found that the Nuggets don't seem to have any particularly good top stars this season, and the only player who averaged 20 points per game in a season is called Laphonso. Ellis, this guy is actually a little-known small character, probably playing a little better in his career this season, and basically no news about him has been heard in other seasons.

Among the other players of the Nuggets team, only McDyce can be called a little, but his personal strength can only be regarded as average, barely a star, but he is actually a little short of the All-Star level.

Overall, the strength of this excavation team is also relatively weak, so our Lakers team seems to be relatively relaxed up and down.

The morale of our team was also quite high during the training in the team, after all, we had just finished a back-to-back away trip, and even after back-to-back away games, we were able to win five in a row, although the opponent was not very strong, but it still made the whole team feel happy.

In fact, presumably on our home court of the Los Angeles Lakers, the Nuggets can't afford to make any tricks, if it is on their plateau home court in Denver, maybe we will be a little jealous, but in the Staples Arena, which has a great home atmosphere, there are few teams that can really withstand the crazy shouts of our Lakers fans.

At seven o'clock in the evening, the game between our Lakers and Nuggets officially began, and as the jump ball ended, Shaq took the ball into his arms quite easily.

I don't know why, after today's opening, Shaq didn't have much desire to attack, when he was playing away from home, his interest was quite high, and today he finally returned to our Lakers' home court, and he looked a little embarrassed.

Of course, since Shaq is not excited at the beginning and his desire to attack is not strong enough, it is natural that someone must go up to it, so let me play a better opening today.

So when Shaq didn't ask for the ball much, I pulled away and prepared to go it alone, anyway, I didn't recognize the player who was defending me on the other side, and he was much shorter than me, and he didn't seem to move fast, so I just ate him.

Although Shaq has no desire to attack after watching the game, as long as he stands on the court, he will put a lot of psychological pressure on the opposing team, especially in the scouting report, it must be mentioned that Shaq is often the most fierce at the beginning of the first quarter, so the Nuggets' attention at this time must still be attracted to a large part of Shaq.

At this time, they will definitely not pay special attention to my defense, and I don't care whether they are serious about my defense or not, anyway, as long as I want to score, none of them can defend against me, even if there are two, there is a high probability that they can't prevent it, we are so domineering and unreasonable.

I didn't try to make a big move, which was to use the cross-step and shake off the opponent to make a jumper, because the player opposite me was shorter than me, so it was basically difficult for him to interfere with my shots, so whenever I had the chance, I would shoot at the first opportunity.

Although the overall shooting rate of the mid-range jumper is definitely not as high as the layup, the mid-range jumper is more energy-saving, especially if you come directly to dribble twice like me, and pull it out directly, it is also a headache to defend the opposite side, as long as my hand is good enough, they can't come over, I have already shot and scored.

But my shooting touch today is really good, the opponent's defender still seems to be trying very hard to interfere with my shot, but I pull out on the spot and add a certain amount of backward jumper, he has absolutely no chance to block me, and the interference shooting under normal circumstances has no effect on me.

In less than three minutes, I had already scored six points on a mid-range jumper by myself, while the rest of the Lakers didn't score any points, and sometimes that's how it was with our Lakers game, and it was easy for me and Shaq to take turns to have a small burst during a period of time, and the other players in that time often struggled to play to their strengths.

Of course, this situation is also normal, after all, Shaq and I have relatively high scoring efficiency on the court, so when we feel better, we will get continuous passes from our teammates, which is also in line with the team's tactical arrangement.

And after the opening, the Nuggets seem to be a little uncomfortable, and they really don't know the basket much on our Lakers' home court, is it because they didn't have a warm-up training before the game, and after the start of the game, they have not scored a point on five shots, and four of the five players on their court have already made shots.

But it's a pity that none of them made a shot, and on our Lakers side, apart from me, only Van Exel and Robert Horry made shots, but unfortunately neither of them could hit the shot.

My three attempts were just four attempts, and all four of them were mid-range pull-up jumpers.

The head coach of the Diggers team looked a little anxious on the sidelines, and kept yelling at the players of the Diggers team on the field, but then again, sometimes the feeling of this kind of thing is really not something that the head coach can help your players get, after all, no matter how powerful the head coach is, there is no way to replace the players on the field to play, no matter how good you are, it is the player who will eventually execute the tactics to complete the shot, so many times the coach yelling on the sidelines has no way to make any substantial changes to the situation on the court.

The Nuggets finally opened the situation with a 24-second three-point frontal board, this ball our Lakers team has been defended quite well, and it looks like it is about to be successfully defended to 24 seconds, who knows that the point guard on the opposite side is casually lost, and even the frontal board is scored, this kind of ball has to be said that there must be a lot of luck in it, but the game is sometimes so wonderful, and any situation is possible.

But I don't care if you have luck or not, I rely on real strength, I feel that my competitive state is quite good after training today, I will enter a meditative state from time to time, and then have some communication with Kobe's soul, and discuss some better training methods with him.

I've found that the communication between me and Kobe Bryant's soul is really smooth, and he is always able to help me in some of the more important areas, and with his help my training is obviously quite good, at least today when I practiced I had a three-point shooting percentage of over 60%.

This is the overall shooting percentage of the whole training process, and in the best part of the period, I made fifteen consecutive three-pointers, and each shot was made directly without hesitation, because our Lakers shooting coach came early today, so someone passed the ball to me, and I just shot three points.

Because the effect of today's training is excellent, I am full of confidence in my three-point feeling at this time, and this time the Nuggets relied on luck to shoot this three-pointer, naturally they were briefly immersed in the joy of scoring, and they didn't expect that I would give them a three-point shot to chase immediately.

My three-point shot came quickly, and after rushing directly through the halfcourt, I was ready to shoot, but I was a little sensible and didn't shoot directly at the position of the midfield LOGO, and the players on the opposite side of the Nuggets naturally didn't believe that I would shoot three points directly, of course, they thought that my action was a feint.

So much so that when I actually jumped from outside the three-point line in the middle, he didn't react at all, and as the basketball crossed a very graceful arc in the air, my three-pointer went in.

The fans across Staples Arena were boiling, and it was clear that they were happy with the scoring wave I gave them in the opening game, and I had already scored nine points on 4-of-5 shooting, less than four minutes after the start of the first quarter.

The head coach of the Nuggets could only call a timeout in the midst of the loud noise at our home court, in fact, I think he came a little late for this timeout, even though they barely made a three-pointer, but at this point I have been completely trained to have a good hand, and it will be very difficult for them to defend me.

Head coach Silver Fox Harris didn't say much during the pause, in fact, he had already said a little too much during the team's tactical training this afternoon, and now he doesn't talk much, but our Lakers players actually almost understand his tactical intentions, so they didn't react much, and it feels like this game has already won for our Lakers.

So it's for this reason that our Lakers players can't inspire much passion.

After the timeout, when the Nuggets scored another three-pointer, they also started to play a very strong early wrap-up defense against me, and they also seemed to sense that Shaq's desire to score today was not high, and my form came a little too early, so they started to delay and wrap me up early in the half, which many teams do.

They also know that I am not a player who likes to pass the ball, and even if there are good opportunities for my teammates, I still don't choose to pass the ball in the first place, because I am very confident in my own strength and believe that I can still score even in the face of the opposition's high intensity defence.

But after the pause, Shaq also began to slowly show his fangs, you can never underestimate the power of such a terrifying beast, even if he chooses to sleep for a certain period of time, but as long as he wakes up at a certain moment, then it will bring very terrifying destructive power.

When I noticed that Shaq's running enthusiasm had increased, I simply stopped playing by myself, and chose to pass the ball to Shaq, who had already gone down quickly, and my pass to Shaq was basically thrown into the sky and ignored.

A lot of times my passes were terrible, but I don't know how Shaq was able to convert those bad mistakes into assists, which made me feel like it's a very easy thing to pass to him.

This time is no exception, after all, this kind of direct pass through many defenders is easy to be cut off by the opponent if the height is not enough, so it is always right to pass a little higher.

Shaq's cut this time was actually pulled by the Nuggets' inside, and he almost couldn't jump, but just when I thought the ball was going to go directly out of the bottom line, Shaq actually pressed the Nuggets' inside player with one hand, jumped on the spot, and pressed the ball into the basket with one arm from the air.

The ball silenced the entire Lakers' home court, and it was clear that everyone was completely overwhelmed by Shaq's terrifying power.

But after a short silence, there was a frantic roar, and to be honest, the atmosphere at our home stadium in Los Angeles was really good, and I saw a lot of fans just stand up, take off the Lakers jersey they were wearing, and then wave it in their hands like a flag, and it was really amazing.

I feel like the blood in my body is about to rise again, and I know that once this blood is up, my opponent will become quite miserable, and I am already in such good shape today.

I suddenly remembered that in the last game, the state of Shaq and I was also extremely terrifying, and the result was to lose the suspense of the game early, so will today's game also repeat the situation of the previous game, directly in the first three quarters, or even half of the opponent to collapse, so that the score was stretched to a state where there is no way to recover at all, which seems to be good.

Now it seems that I also like the feeling of punching in the third quarter, and it is actually good to be able to get off the court a little earlier, I can take a little more time to communicate with Kobe's soul, and in the communication with Kobe's soul, my progress is also very fast, because in fact, Kobe is a guy with a very high basketball IQ, and not only that, his learning ability is also very amazing, and his logical thinking is quite meticulous.

I can learn a lot of things from Kobe, including the attitude towards the game, I used to treat the game when I actually had a sense of retaining my personal strength, but now after Kobe's teaching, I often show my strength earlier, so that the game can enter the white-hot state earlier.

It's a great feeling, I find myself more passionate in the game, instead of asking for so much useless playing time, I might as well make every second of my playing time seem more efficient, and if I can clock in three quarters, I can clock in three quarters, why not?
