When a pair of dark green eyes began to pursue the whispers of the missing person, another pair of ice blue eyes had already laid a dragnet in the shadow of the parallel world.
Carl Lins, the chief investigator of the real-world International Special Incident Investigation Bureau (ISEI), has spent his life looking for two answers: the truth about the devastating explosion, and the girl who disappeared in the disaster-his childhood sweetheart Charlotte Dale. When he discovered that all the clues pointed to an impossible coordinate, a nursery rhyme he muttered in his fever dream became the first crack to break the boundary of reality:
"Golden petals, face the sun…
In the shadows, we are one."
(Golden petals, facing the sun... In the shadows, we are together.)
"I serve a truth that doesn't exist, for a man who sees everything."
Sylvester, the supreme commander of the parallel world Etheria, was ordered to hunt down the defectors - and fled to the forbidden land called the "primitive world" by his superiors with secrets that could subvert the two worlds. He firmly believed that the mission given by the professor was the only reality, until he met Carlins during the hunt - the world reflected in those dark green eyes was completely opposite to everything he knew.
A pursuit and investigation across dimensions brought two men who were supposed to never intersect together on a narrow road through a rift in time and space.
The secret guarded by the traitor is related to the survival of the two worlds, and also related to the tampered past of all of them.
Sylvester also gradually discovered that behind the truth about the professor's so-called "defectors" lay a lie that lasted for twenty years, a murder disguised as an accident, and the dark past of the collective execution of the parents of the five spies.
"Close the gate, save both worlds. But what if closing it means… we never meet again?"
Sacrifice under dual time and space,
Launch taboo hypnosis at the cost of life,
The lover who was forced to forget,
The dead souls in front of the sunflower field...
The sound of violins in the ruins is waiting for a meeting that can never be made.
"They promised to meet where the sunflowers grow. But in the end, only one sunflower bloomed… in the crack between worlds."
When ice blue and dark green met for the last time, the two worlds survived, and between them, there was only a sunflower blooming in the crack and a requiem that no one could sing anymore.
"Can we still meet?"
"... Of course. When you're done, go see the sunflowers. I heard they can grow in cracks too."
"Then it's settled."
This is a story about promises and farewell.
When the last sunflower blooms in the ruins, can the promise of blue and green really cross the boundaries between life and death, reality and illusion?
