Jessica and I drank more and more alcohol, and the scale of the conversation began to gradually open up, and I learned from her that she had just broken up with her previous boyfriend, and she seemed to be a year older than me, but these are quite normal, after all, this is the United States is more open to these things.

But apparently she didn't feel unhappy because she broke up with her ex, on the contrary, she seemed very glad to be able to leave him, and I didn't say anything about it, just continued to drink with her, listened to her say some embarrassing things about her ex, and finally the topic came to my relationship again.

In fact, Kobe Bryant should have had a girlfriend in high school, it seems that she is still a little female star, but the memories of Kobe Bryant before are a little vague in my mind now, so in fact, I am not sure whether Kobe Bryant has been completely separated from his ex, but from the current experience during this time, Kobe and his ex do not seem to have much connection with him, and I don't seem to have found anything at home that can be linked to my ex, including a phone number.

"That's right, I just broke up a short time ago, we are quite similar in this regard, it seems that we have a lot in common, for example, we both love the Lakers, we are both single......."

Before I could finish my words, Jessica took the initiative to bring her lips up, and under the influence of alcohol, I felt as if my whole body was wrapped in flames, but after a few seconds, Jessica broke free from my arms by herself, her eyes looked a little empty, and I didn't know what to say, just stared at her blankly.

"I'm sorry, maybe I shouldn't have done that."

I saw that there seemed to be a slight tear streak in the corner of Jessica's eye, which made my desire to protect as a man swell all of a sudden, and I went over and gently put my arm around her shoulder, and then used my other hand to scratch the tear from the corner of her eye.

"There's nothing you can't get by, okay, I think we can be good friends, you know I've just been in Los Angeles for a while, and I can't usually find anyone to play with other than competitions, and Shaq can't have a masquerade every week, so you know."

Jessica seemed to be amused by me, and her bright eyes widened with some unique light.

"Don't say it, Shaq might actually party every week, depending on how he's in the mood."

"Even though I find Shaq's party a bit boring, I still have to thank this damn party for having me meet you, so I'll forgive Shaq."

"Hahaha, interesting, haven't you noticed that your humor cells have begun to awaken? Why do you usually have to be so serious, in fact, isn't it a good thing to learn Shaq in this area and make life more fun? ”

"Maybe you're right, but I think you're changing me, although I can't say whether this change is good or bad, but I like this state myself, maybe I'm too serious when I usually play, I can't fully appreciate the fun of basketball like Shaq, in this respect I should really learn like Shaq, although I really love basketball, but it doesn't prevent me from being able to get more happiness from basketball, isn't it."

"Hehe, it's good that you can understand this, and I'm looking forward to you and Shaq being able to combine their swords and kill all sides in the league and create a new Lakers dynasty!"

"With your kind words, we will definitely do it, and maybe it will come sooner than expected."

"I knew that there was a new big indoor haunted house adventure center in Los Angeles recently, and I always wanted to take the time to go there, but I was still scared to go alone."

After saying that, Jessica bumped into me again with a cute look like a kitten, with a pitiful look in her eyes.

I smiled at the corners of my mouth, and I couldn't help but be completely defeated by her cute appearance, and put my hand around her shoulder again, and then walked towards the door.

This newly opened haunted house is about half an hour's drive away, and I drove behind her, and I saw that she was so skilled in driving that it was hard to imagine that a female driver who was only about 19 years old could have such good driving skills.

Well, in fact, my driving skills are not bad, and I'm only 18 years old, hahaha, but I'm not a female driver after all, I have some objections to the fact that female drivers are inherently more terrible, after all, in fact, many female drivers in reality are actually quite powerful, but one thing is true, that is, many female drivers are born with less courage, so when they encounter emergencies, their adaptability is not as good as that of male drivers, but they will also have their own advantages, For example, you will be more cautious when driving, you will obey the traffic rules more, and you will reduce a lot of dangerous driving behaviors.

When we entered this newly opened haunted house, the surrounding environment is indeed a little weird, at first I was not very interested in the so-called haunted house, I thought it was just the marketing method of some businesses, and there are no ghosts in this world, and the general so-called haunted house is just to get some very low-level devices to scare people.

However, there is a chilling atmosphere in this haunted house, and it is difficult to describe this feeling exactly, perhaps the atmosphere or even some mysterious smell is at work.

Jessica walked slowly forward with me, I don't know why the haunted house business didn't seem to be particularly good today, there seemed to be only me and Jessica in a huge haunted house, and I could feel Jessica's body on my chest trembling slightly.

This haunted house is actually a very large manor house, all the structures in it seem like there were people living in it not long ago, but the decoration style inside the haunted house is very simple, when I carefully observed the daily necessities in these haunted houses, I also found a fact, this haunted house must not have been built recently, even if some building materials can be artificially old, but in my previous life, after all, I was engaged in construction-related industries, You can discover the secrets hidden in these architectural details.

"Jessica, did you say this haunted house was newly opened recently? What was this land before? ”

"Actually, I don't know the background of this haunted house very well, did you notice anything wrong?"

"It's really wrong, I even suspect that this haunted house is a real haunted house, which means that there may really be something not quite right in it."

"yes, no, you would believe in such a thing, anyway, I think there must be someone here doing ghosts, where in the world can there be supernatural powers."

"You're right, I think too much, the building materials here are very old, in my judgment it is probably hundreds of years old, if this haunted house has always existed before, why was it recently opened for the outside world to visit."

"I don't know if we should go upstairs and have a look, after you say this, I also think that this building has some architectural styles from the late 19th century, if this building really existed here for so long, then there must be a lot of hidden stories in it, maybe we can find some interesting records in the previous owner's room."

As we walked up the stairs, the stairs creaked under the force of our gravity, which constantly stimulated our eardrums, and finally when we reached the second floor, the atmosphere around us changed subtly.

It turns out that there is a very long corridor in front of us, and the corridor is full of all kinds of character murals on both sides, these murals are quite exquisite oil paintings, it can be seen that the person who painted these heads must be quite a powerful master, under his hands these murals are not only vivid, but even to some extent the expressions of the characters are painted to the point of expressiveness.

In my previous life, I was always quite curious about Leonardo da Vinci's "Mona Lisa's Smile", thinking that there is probably no one in this world who can completely paint people's expressions to the point of expressiveness, until now I have experienced it myself, their eyes are staring at you like real people, and I even feel that the expressions of the people in the painting have changed somewhat.

"Jessica, I see, the person in that painting just now seems to have made a grimace at me."

I didn't mean to tease Jessica, but I did see it just now.

"I seem to have seen some strange things, but these must have been deliberately manipulated by someone, but now that technology is so advanced, these people who make haunted houses are quite attentive."

Despite all that, Jessica's grip on my arm suddenly became tight, which made me tremble slightly.

I patted her on the back to reassure her that I was there to protect her, and then we continued along the cloister, opening a half-open and half-closed door, which creaked as it was opened, and I couldn't help but be shocked when everything inside the door was unfolded before our eyes.
