The life of Qixing Technology intern Lin Ye started from the "lost" ten years ago.
When he was smoking in the fire escape while clutching the rent reminder text message, he bumped into the backward second hand; the brass key he picked up touched the palm of his hand, like a piece of ice hiding a secret. When the launch of the 30 million "Starlink" project was approaching, the "goodwill" of the department manager, the "conspiracy" of the technical director, and the sudden appearance of old photos from ten years ago dragged him into a family mystery shrouded in business smoke——
In the iron box under the ruins of the old office building, there is a paternity test showing that he is the son of Qixing's founder; the talking orange cat guards the secrets of the entire building and warns him that "someone is not a human being"; in the cracks between the old and new office buildings, the Starlink data flow is spreading crazily along the countdown.
When the stand-in robot held down his hand, and when the core code turned into a virus that could "escape", Lin Ye finally understood: what was stolen ten years ago was not the memory, but the key that could overturn the entire business landscape. What he is looking for is not only the real code, but also the self hidden in the gap in time.
"Don't trust anyone, including those who remind you."
The disappearance case in the old newspaper, the self-destructing prototype, the secret of the double fingerprint lock... All the clues point to the same end point: when the backward second hand catches up with the forward countdown, the star chain will fall together with all the lies.
