At halftime, I went into a meditative state again, and in the meditative state, I had some exchanges with Kobe's soul, and the main direction of these exchanges was actually related to basketball.

"When you play basketball now, I feel like I've improved a lot from when I first started playing, have you noticed these improvements yourself?"

"Yes, of course I can feel this kind of progress of myself, but how to say, this kind of progress is actually based on some difficult to say a lot of times, all my efforts have actually been moving in that direction, no matter how much I have achieved before, I know that those are not enough, I can't be complacent, I still have a lot of things to do on the road to growth."

"yes, I think you're really a lot better than a lot of people in some ways, including a lot better than me, and now I really think it's a good thing for you to control my body."

"Do you really think so?"

"Yes, I do think so, your current psychological state is actually very powerful, at least in this regard, you are really stronger than me, so now you don't feel anything indebted to me in your heart, you are really stronger than me, I now hope that you can continue to work hard, and then go to the next level, so I will feel a lot more relieved."

"If that's what you really think, then things are really good, in fact, your physical talent is also too good to be true, without your physical talent as a premise, no matter how hard I try, it is meaningless, so this is the most important point, and what new discoveries have you made in my subconscious recently?"

"To put it mildly, there are really a lot of things worth developing in your subconscious, and you may not be aware of these places many times, and the reason is that many times you can't actually blame you, but because sometimes you should really ignore these things, normal people should ignore them, and it can even be said that you ignore these things is a better choice for you."

"What you said is still a little surprising to me, but it would be better if you could say it more carefully, I really can't understand your words directly, if only I had the opportunity to enter the subconscious to see it."

"You've actually gone into your subconscious mind a lot of times to see it, but you may not be aware of these situations sometimes, for example, when you're in a dream, your dreams are actually a special reaction to some situations in your subconscious, I know you may not be so clear about this, but that's what it is."

"Yes, I do feel that there is something very special about many of my dreams, but sometimes I really don't think about it that much, but now I can listen to you tell me what I can find in my dreams."

"You still don't pay enough attention to your dreams to be honest, of course, you don't have much responsibility for this, because your dreams themselves are very fragmented, and the most important thing is that normal people's dream memories can't last too long, I don't know if you have found that many of your dream memories can actually last for a long time, which is not a very normal thing in itself, it is precisely for this reason, I think you can think about a few things, and one of them is that you can find something very special. ”

"It's true that I have a long memory of many dreams, as if they were not just a dream at all, but something that happened to me at some point, which is actually a very incredible thing, but at the same time it also makes me feel a little bit of fear, so that I sometimes dare not believe it, dare not face it, even if it is true, but it is still not so pleasant for me."

"I can actually take you to some of your dreams while you're in a meditative state, and if you have that, I can do that right now, do you want to go and see some of your dreams now?"

"After listening to you say this, I really have some very special feelings about my dreams, I do want to enter some of my dreams to have a good look, to take a good walk, maybe I can really find some details in them that I have not been able to notice."

Then I re-entered my old dream:

In this dream, Jessica and I went again to the haunted house, the same manor that Sir Faustin had built, and Jessica and I followed the path that her parents had taken, and finally reached the deepest part of the manor.

"Jessica, why is this manor so big, there is an incomparably complex underground world underground, and an underground tunnel of this scale is really a bit abnormal."

I was holding Jessica in one hand and a flashlight in the other, and the atmosphere around me was eerie, so quiet, but there seemed to be some kind of voice echoing in our ears.

The road ahead was slippery, and the ground felt like it was soaked in a thin layer of oil, and if you weren't careful, you might fall down at any time.

By the light of the flashlight, Jessica and I saw some strange patterns engraved on the stone walls of the passage around us, which did not look random, but rather the product of some special design, which must represent some special meaning.

I stopped and asked Jessica to go with me to see if the strange patterns engraved on the walls had some special meaning, and sure enough, when Jessica and I looked at these strange patterns carefully, we gradually realized that these strange patterns actually had special meanings.

"Jessica, we seem to have seen these patterns somewhere, do you have any impressions?"

"I can't remember where we've seen this pattern. Are you sure you're not mistaken? ”

"There's no mistake, we're sure we've seen them somewhere, and you remember when we saw the film that recorded your parents coming to the manor's underground tunnels, and there was any picture of them."

"No, I remember hearing clearly, there were no of these patterns in the tape at the time."

After listening to Jessica's words, I fell into deep thought, and seemed to start to suspect that my memory was somehow skewed, but what was the root cause of this discrepancy?

When I came back to my senses, I vaguely felt that the lines on the walls around me seemed to come alive, they were like little snakes that had their own life, and then kept swimming on the walls.

When I looked at Jessica, she didn't seem to react at all, was I the only one who could see this?

I reached out and pulled Jessica's hand, but I couldn't feel the temperature from the other end of her hand, but it was wet and slippery, not like human skin at all.

I subconsciously stepped back and looked at Jessica's hair at this point, turning into countless poisonous snakes spitting letters, which were entangled and hissed, causing a bunch of goosebumps to occur.

I was terrified, and the snakes on the walls around me began to crawl down the walls to the ground, they were getting closer and closer, and Jessica's eyes were shining with a terrible red light at this time, which made my heart tingle after seeing it, and I instinctively avoided these snakes, and began to prepare to escape from this terrible place.

My mind was in a mess, the flashlight in my hand several times almost out of my hand, if it fell to the ground, I was afraid that it would be taken away by these poisonous snakes at once, at this time, I recalled the slippery feeling under my feet just now, and immediately understood that these were all the mucus secreted by the poisonous snakes, in order to facilitate them to crawl on the ground.

I don't care to think about why Jessica became like that, she looks very much like the snake woman Medusa who can petrify people through her eyes in ancient Greek legends, and there are a large number of poisonous snakes entrenched above her head in legends, and she herself is a half-human, half-snake monster, with the upper body of a human woman and the lower body of a terrible snake, but it is a bit similar to Nuwa in the legend of Sword and Fairy, but this Medusa is too murderous, if you look directly at her eyes, she will be immediately petrified.

Legend has it that Perseus used Athena's shield to reflect Medusa's own gaze, thus successfully petrifying Medusa, but why did my favorite Jessica become Medusa at this time?

I don't know how long I ran forward desperately, but gradually there were no more traces of those poisonous snakes around, and the tunnel in front of me was still like a bottomless pit, and I had no idea what would happen next, the endless darkness was like the mouth of a giant monster, waiting for me to run into his mouth.

Yet I couldn't stop moving forward, I didn't feel tired in my dreams, but I could feel the despair, the despair wrapped in endless darkness, the despair after losing Jessica, the despair of the unknown of my fate, the despair of the terrible enemy hiding in the darkness.

But in the midst of despair, there is still a glimmer of hope and light, and the faint light of the flashlight in my hand has become the only support to lead me out of this endless darkness.

I never thought that the darkness would be so terrible, nor would I have thought that the light of this flashlight would be so dazzling, and sure enough, these faint lights have to be in the dark to show their value, if under the dazzling sunlight, this faint flashlight light will become eclipsed.

At this moment, I seem to have realized something, just like us human beings, in good times, we may not be able to show our own value, but when we are faced with difficulties or even desperate situations, we can be like this faint flashlight light, penetrate this layer of darkness, bring a trace of hope and light, and show our true value.

So I won't give up, I can't give up, in this endless darkness, I will fight against it to the end, no matter what is hidden at the end of this darkness, or they will continue to hide, or as long as they dare to appear, I will use this seemingly faint light to challenge them and defeat them!

The road ahead is still stretching, but I seem to faintly see a little light coming from the darkness, what awaits me at the end of the darkness?

However, as I moved towards the faint light of the fire, there seemed to be some strange rustling sounds around me, I don't know what these sounds represented, but it was certain that it would not be a good thing, it was a kind of intuition, could there be anything good in this dark underground tunnel?

"You're here? It's a lot later than I expected. ”

A deep voice came from the depths of the tunnel, but its exact direction was not clear, it looked like it was in front and behind, it looked like it was left and it was like it was right, and the sound made goosebumps crawl all over my body again.

"You, who are you? How did you know I was here? ”

My voice trembled slightly, and I didn't know why I had an unwarranted fear of this voice at this time, as if this fear came from somewhere deep inside, as if I had heard the call of this voice somewhere, and it brought me some extraordinary memory of fear, who was it?

"I, I'm your fear itself, do you believe that?"

"I don't believe it, how could I believe such nonsense like yours, how could my fear itself stay in this place, I've never been here."

"Don't you really remember being here? Do you really not remember that you left me in this deep, dimly lit underground tunnel? Do you really not remember what you were through here? Do you think you can get rid of me forever by leaving me in this dark underground tunnel? How naïve you are! You see, aren't you coming back now, don't you have to face the fears you experienced again? Do you think you can solve everything by forgetting about it? No, even if you forget the past, you will still come back here again and again, because I, because I am waiting for you as your fear, and you will never be able to get rid of your own fear! ”

This terrifying voice is getting closer and closer, as if it is ringing in my ears, and as if every word pierces into the depths of my heart, they are like blunt knives, cutting my spirit and soul one by one, this feeling is terrible, and I have no way to resist but to let this pain spread.

"Stop, I remember, I remember, you are indeed my fear itself, I also remember why I left you in this place, you are right, I really shouldn't have left you here, but where can you go if you don't stay here, you belong to the darkness itself, where can you go if you don't stay in the darkness?"

"I'm your fear, if you don't take me, you're incomplete, if I don't follow you, I'm incomplete, don't you understand this simplest question? Do you think that getting rid of fear itself is a way to get rid of it? You're wrong, fear isn't something you can abandon if you want to, you can only leave me here temporarily, and you yourself will keep coming back to this scene to feel the original fear, because I am trapped, you yourself will be trapped, if you don't let me out, that is, you don't let yourself out, do you understand? The person who traps you is none other than yourself! ”

This terrifying voice kept echoing in my head, so overwhelming that I was about to breathe, I couldn't support this strong pressure all of a sudden, and I fell to my knees all of a sudden, I tried to hold my head, and countless chaotic images appeared in my mind.

At this moment my fear seems to have come back to me, and I am not as scared as before.

"Look, it's not a very easy thing to do! Now you should understand one thing, face me, face fear itself, this is the key to solving the problem, escape from me, escape from fear itself, will only make you weaker, although I am your fear, but I am not actually your enemy, on the contrary, I am actually your good partner, if you can understand this truth one day, then you will really find my value and power, you will also understand what I said at this time, and what I did for you, I believe that one day you will understand. ”

The voices rang in my head, each one so clear, so heavy, I held my head tightly with both hands, trying to get it all out of my own brain, but I couldn't do it, it was too powerful, I couldn't overcome it, and eventually I lost consciousness.

What does it mean to lose consciousness in a dream?

I was speechless, and although I wanted to refute her words, but when the words came to my lips, I took them back at once, as if even if I refuted and won her, it would not do me any good, I suddenly thought.
