'Hermes, eccentric and mischievous, walking around, hiding everywhere,

was caught by you, played helplessly, brightened the night, and fell asleep. ’

---- a Kezmian nursery rhyme.

……

Clear sky, starry night, and another day of work that lasts until late at night.

The sky was full of stars and magnificent, and the atmosphere of Puxing, which was thick like clouds of smoke during the day, became almost completely transparent at this time.

Because of this, there seems to be no barrier between people and the stars, and they can see the most beautiful celestial phenomena.

Wonders create passion, and ups and downs make masterpieces, so there is the famous folk song, "The Day of Qilian and the Night of Proviston", which has been sung all over the Martial Emperor Twin Stars a hundred years ago.

Robert stood in the lobby of the East Tower of the "Twin Wings Building" under the Comprehensive Planning Bureau, and left a record of leaving the building with his fingerprints on the security holographic window at the door as required. He waved to Tony and McMillan, the security guards on the night shift, and the two staff members of the Security Committee's Safety and Security Division smiled when they saw him as him.

They were familiar with Robert for a long time, and knew that this silver-haired man who often left late at night was a typical workaholic in this building, but he had a gentle smile and never showed any bureaucratic faces.

After exiting the East Tower, he hiked to the parking lot and found his Karission in the dim night light and starlight. He opened the door and sat in the driver's seat, as a faint light indicating the operation of the components flickered in turn in the car, eventually remaining fluorescent. At this moment, text appeared on the windshield directly in front of him, and the car was asking him about his destination.

Unlike the reliance on voice assistants in the office environment, he hates a car that speaks, and is produced for a purpose other than parroting passengers.

"Go home." He commanded without emotion, and did not want to waste an extra word.

The car then starts, reverses, steers, and maintains the upper speed in the markings with precision, and finally deflects slightly at the end of the road and drives onto the main road, where it connects with the orange guide beam.

Robert raised his wrist to check the latest email on the Holographic Watch of the Development Committee, and he repeatedly confirmed like a paranoid that he had no more unfinished business before lowering his wrist when he was sure that he had no more unfinished business.

He opened the window of the car and took a deep breath, feeling much better, the night air in this city full of bright lights was as fresh and cool as the valley between the gorges on the outskirts of Wenzhi.

He looked sideways into the night sky, and Helios's slender crescent body was accompanying his Calysion in the space between the tall buildings.

He tried to find another moon, Hermes, but could not see where it was hiding as far as the naked eye could see, and he shook his head with a self-deprecating smile, closed the window, and gave up on the unrealistic attempt.

Robert had always wanted to take Joanna and Jonny to enjoy the wonders of the hidden moon of this universal star, but he couldn't squeeze in the time.

He has a busy schedule and limited vacations, Joanna has to take care of his son in Chilian when he has free time, and Jonny has to go to school, even if all of this is all right...... As Hermes itself, it also has a clear and stingy viewing schedule.

Due to its own light-absorbing effect, the existence of this strange moon once caused great inconvenience to the humans living in Puxing. It is only visible to the naked eye in April and October of each standard year, and it is lit day by day, and at the end of these two months, it releases the light of the Milliga, which has been absorbed for half a year, in 3-4 days.

Although Puxing does not produce polar day and night at the poles due to the deflection of the Earth's axis like Chilian, it will form a unique celestial spectacle because of the presence of Hermes: the moon day.

The release of Hermes, when it appeared during the day, only slightly whitened the gray sky and had little effect on people.

And once it is released at night, the sky will be almost as bright as the day, and at those nights, Hermes will hang like a silver platter in the still transparent sky, and the thousands of stars will be dim but faintly visible on those nights.

It hides all year round, but once it appears, it is beautiful and exciting, so it is greatly admired by the Puxing Romantics. They interpreted the strange phenomenon of Hermes as the 'poetry of the gods', and even formed associations to classify some natural landscapes, and "Moonlit Day" is undoubtedly the first of the seven wonders of Puxing, and it is a common treasure of mankind.

But those who do not want to close the window and prefer to sleep in front of the stars hate that the satellite has taken away their dreams. A hundred years ago, there was a movement to write to the federal government en masse, with hundreds of thousands of signatures, and they were so disturbed by the phenomenon of "Moonlight" that they demanded that the government blow up Hermes. For this crazy suggestion, it was naturally ridiculed by the majority of the population at that time.

The black Kalisaion swerved around a corner of the highway, detached from the guiding beam and sped toward a small path.

The relatively unfamiliar street scene caught the attention of Robert, who was watching the moonlight, and he called up the navigation map on his windshield, and the red route pointed straight to the southwest of Angel City, a dozen blocks away from the apartment he rented.

"Wrong navigation, I mean home!" He pressed the inquiry button on the car and questioned Karission.

"Coming Home...... Mr. shows the car's reply on the windshield screen, but the route on the navigation map does not change in the slightest.

Someone tampered with the shortcut definition? Robert frowned.

"Change of route, destination, 241 Kepler Street." He knew that something was wrong, and hurriedly conveyed the address of the correct apartment to the car.

"Changing course...... 241 Kepler Strasse...... The route was set incorrectly...... and the screen seemed to be calculated, but the end result was shocking to Robert.

"Stop!" He commanded in a loud voice.

The screen of "Parking ......" is displayed, but the speeding Karission shows no signs of slowing down. Control Module Failure...... It is advisable to contact the local emergency unit...... The security mechanism in Kaliseon was finally triggered at this moment, and a red warning sign appeared on the screen.

Coordinate Lock...... Martial Emperor Galaxy...... of Lower Angel City in Provistown, Emergency list ...... in contact

Robert stared at the screen, he was now sure he was in trouble.

Could it be...... Michael. Haydn had tried to remind him that the despicable murder he had witnessed, the eyes that had disappeared strangely from behind the car window, they were as scarlet as Alex's blood, was his turn? Have they finally decided to take a shot at themselves?
