Aisen opened his hazy sleepy eyes, and everything was dark. After about two minutes, he realized that he had just met Ai Bin in his sleep. Five years had passed since his twin brother disappeared, and this was Aisen's first time.
I saw him once in a dream.
He lifted the quilt covering him, turned around and picked up the electronic clock placed on the bedside, and checked the time. It was still 3 a.m.
"So early!" He muttered in his heart, planning to continue sleeping for a while.
He tossed and turned on the bed for a long time, but could no longer close his eyes.
"The dream just now was just like reality!"
Although the image of Ai Bin in the dream was a bit blurry, his voice was very clear and real. Ai Sen only remembered that Ai Bin was repeatedly emphasizing one thing: a star from the distant universe broke through the outer reaches of the solar system, and its target may be
Earth!
"What kind of weird dream is this?!" Aisen smiled bitterly in his heart.
When the brothers were young, Ai Bin would often tell Eisen about weird things like the mysteries of the universe and unknown civilizations, but Eisen had no interest in it at all.
Aisen has only had one hobby since he was a child, and that is playing games online. When he was in middle school, because he was afraid of being scolded by his father, he used to go to his classmates' houses to do homework as an excuse to sneak into Internet cafes and donate all the money he saved from buying breakfast to
I fell in love with the little boss who opened an Internet cafe; after I went to college, no one took care of me, so I often skipped class and stayed in the dormitory, sitting in front of the computer and playing all day long.
Perhaps Aisen has an extraordinary ability in learning, so even though he is so obsessed with games, he has not delayed his studies at all. Although Ai Bin and he are twin brothers, except for their stature and appearance, they have the same temperament, temperament, and interests.
The hobbies are all very different...
Thinking of the past scenes between the brothers, Aisen couldn't sleep even more. He simply sat up and leaned on the bedside, took out his mobile phone, and wanted to check the social platform. This was his habit before going to bed or after waking up every day.
.
After the phone screen is turned on, the normal operation interface does not appear, but some messy white symbols flash on a black background.
Eisen didn’t recognize these symbols and was sure he had never seen them before!
He kept swiping his index finger back and forth on the phone screen, but those annoying symbols still couldn't be eliminated. He guessed that there might be a problem with the phone's system, so he tried to force it to shut down and then restart it.
After a short wait, the phone finally entered the normal interface. Aisen then clicked on the social platform APP icon, but there was no response. Clicking again, there was still no response!
"What's going on?!" He muttered as he kept poking at the icon with his fingertips. Suddenly, the phone screen turned black again, and those white symbols appeared again!
The dark room, the dark screen, those white symbols flickering like ghosts!
"There must be something wrong with the phone!"
Aisen forced the phone to shut down again, threw the phone on the bedside table, and lay down to sleep again. Perhaps because his brain was a little tired after all this tossing, he fell asleep quickly this time...
When he woke up again, he was woken up by the alarm clock. 6:50, which was the alarm time he set. Usually he would wake up by himself around 6:30, but in order not to oversleep and delay work, he set
Set an alarm clock as insurance.
Through the gap between the two curtains, you can see that the sky outside is already bright.
The first thing he thought of after getting up was to try to turn on his phone again. He wanted to confirm whether the phone was really broken. However, this time the phone could be turned on smoothly, and he could immediately enter the chat interface after clicking on the social platform icon. No
A black screen and those garbled characters appear again.
After going to work, Aisen was still worried about the problem with his mobile phone. He tried it a few more times to confirm that everything was normal. After that, he quickly forgot about the strange thing he encountered last night.
Aisen works as a market researcher at an investment company in Nanbin City. He and Ai Bin finished college at the same time. His elder brother studied finance. After graduation, he worked in a bank in Nanbin and worked as a team leader. Aisen
I have changed three companies successively, and it has only been more than two years since I came to this investment company.
The company is not big, it was funded and established by a listed company, and there are only twenty or thirty people. In the two years since Aisen joined the company, except for team building or year-end dinner parties, he generally has few personal interactions with colleagues. His personality is inherently relatively
Introverted, after Ai Bin disappeared, he became more and more autistic.
When he was about to get off work, Aisen received a message from Cao Ziming, saying that tomorrow was Saturday and wanted to invite him to have a get-together. Aisen agreed.
Cao Ziming is Ai Bin's college alumnus, and Aisen also met him through Ai Bin. Ai Bin is also the ex-boyfriend of Cao Ziming's wife Qi Qi. Ai Bin and Qi Qi have been dating for many years. However, when they were about to get married, Ai Bin
But she disappeared unexpectedly. During the days when Qiqi was sad and grieving, Cao Ziming had been taking care of her. It was not until three years after Ai Bin disappeared that she gave up her wait for Ai Bin under Aisen's persuasion.
Finally, I chose to get together with Cao Ziming.
Apart from Cao Ziming and Qi Qi, Aisen has almost no other real friends in Nanbin.
In the evening, Aisen ate something alone outside. After returning to his residence, he sat down in front of the computer. He first watched a movie, then played a game, and did not log off until after midnight.
Before going to bed, he saw that the battery of his mobile phone was low, so he put it on the desk to charge before going to bed...
In a daze, he saw Ai Bin again!
He knew very clearly that he was lying on the bed, and Ai Bin was standing in front of the bed - he was not even surprised at all, because everything was so real! He wanted to get up and get out of bed, but his body could not respond.
Consciousness...
"We did not stop that star!" Because there was no light in the room, Ai Bin's image looked very blurry and his voice was very weak. "It is a probe from outer space, and both the sun and the earth may face threats! Let me inform you, it is a probe from outer space.
My mission!"
"Ai Bin——" Aisen wanted to shout, but his throat seemed to be blocked by something and he couldn't make a sound.
"I have sent the data of this detector to your mobile phone. You should notify the government as soon as possible, hoping to help them." Ai Bin seemed not to care about Aisen and continued talking.
Eisen felt that Ai Bin's voice didn't seem to come from the vague shadow in front of him, but rather seemed to come from a very far away, empty place.
"Ai Bin!" Aisen finally shouted and sat up suddenly.
There was no Ai Bin in front of the bed at all! The room was pitch dark, and with the faint light coming from the window, I could only barely make out the outline of the interior furnishings...
Aisen turned on the light and stared blankly at the place where Ai Bin stood just now, feeling a chill in his body.
He was fully awake and felt thirsty, so he got out of bed, walked to the refrigerator, took out a bottle of mineral water, unscrewed the cap and drank a few sips, then picked up the remote control and raised the air conditioner temperature by two degrees. Aisen looked at everything familiar in front of him, and his chaotic consciousness gradually calmed down. He put down the mineral water bottle and planned to go back to bed and continue sleeping. At this moment, he remembered what Ai Bin had said in his dream just now, saying that he had sent some information to
On his mobile phone——
"Could it be those symbols that appeared on the phone last night?!"
Aisen was curious and wanted to verify it again, so he went to the desk to get his mobile phone.
However, there are only charging plugs and data cables left on the desk, but the mobile phone is not there!
Aisen is sure that he put his phone here to charge before going to bed! Moreover, this has been his habit all along!
Although he didn't believe the facts in front of him, he still searched everywhere in the room, searching all the places where he usually put his mobile phone, but he still couldn't find it.
"Did a thief come in?!" He wondered.
He looked around the room, which was less than 20 square meters, and finally stopped at the closed door of the bathroom, thinking: "Did I remember it wrong?! It can't be over there, right?"
He pushed open the bathroom door suspiciously and was stunned——
The mobile phone is placed on the washstand, the screen is black, and some white symbols are flashing on it!
He thought about it again and again and firmly believed that he had put his mobile phone next to the computer on the desk to charge last night. How could it appear in the bathroom now? And those symbols appeared again! Could it really be...
Eisen felt shuddering.
He carefully walked out of the bathroom with his cell phone, sat back on the bed, and thought about it carefully. Just like the situation he encountered yesterday, no matter what he did, he could not copy, download or eliminate these strange and mysterious symbols.
"Is this really the message Ai Bin sent me?" Aisen felt that his heart was about to jump out of his throat.
Out of an inexplicable curiosity and impulse, he took out a paper and pen, looked at the phone screen, and "copied" the symbols one by one. It was like a child carefully copying unknown Chinese characters. After copying,
, he proofread it several times until it was confirmed to be correct, and then forcibly shut down the phone.
He tossed and turned in bed until dawn and never fell asleep again.
