介绍:
She is my twin sister, and her name is Frosty. Our mum had a great sense of humor in naming her children. Even our names sound like twins since mine is Rusty. Although she looks like an average teenage girl, Frosty is special.
As Frosty walks back, the path through the water closes behind her. Shortly after she reaches the shore, a flash of lightning appears in the sky over the calm sea, followed by heavy thunder.
Already it is dusk. A brilliant full moon is rising, shining a strange shade of blue rays to the ground. Frosty walks quickly back home carrying the suitcase. On her way home, it is a pretty sight to watch pigeons flying around to the sound of bells from a nearby temple. Just as Frosty arrives at our cottage house, our dog's happy bark interrupts her thinking of all the rare things that have happened.
"Are you going to travel? May I go with you?" I ask Frosty as I see her holding a unique suitcase at the door. Smiling at my sister, I still have fond memories of our first white-water rafting adventure in a wildlife reserve two years ago. Over there, we took great photographs of wild cranes and black
"Most likely," she says as she walks into her bedroom.
"Really? I was kidding though." I'm a bit surprised while following behind her.
"Is there a possibility that superior beings do exist?" Frosty suddenly asks.
"Why do you ask?" I say as we sit down on the floor.
"When I was walking along the seaside, I witnessed mysterious things, and I found this wooden suitcase at the bottom of the ocean," Frosty replies.
From my facial expression, Frosty knows I'm confused now. We then start to examine the suitcase, looking at it from different angles.
Unlike most traditional suitcase, which are made of artificial materials, this one is created from a single piece of wood. Its front has a thumb-shaped keyhole. I'm curious to know what is inside, but I find that it's locked.
Frosty moves a burning candle closer. She then presses her thumb on the keyhole. The suitcase slowly opens. Both of us can't wait to see inside. To our surprise, there is nothing except a brown seed lying at the bottom of the suitcase.
Frosty removes the seed from the suitcase. She places it carefully on a handkerchief, rolls it up, and puts it into her pocket. Then a long number appears mysteriously inside the suitcase. There are altogether 20 digits.
"Looks like some secret code. No alphabets, it consists of only random digits. What does it stand for? Do you recognise any pattern in the data? " I ask.
“I'm not sure, but it must be linked to the mysterious seed,” says Frosty.
The suitcase closes itself. We then hear quick, clicking sounds, like a passing train, from inside the suitcase…
