"Uh...... You also inspire me a lot. Again, I was embarrassed to be polite.

"It's not too early." He took out a magnetic card and drew it on the flash area next to the table, which was considered to be the checkout.

What a backward place...... I still can't help but complain in my heart.

In this era, cardless consumption has been realized all over the world, and only here is ......

Leaving the café, the street lights are dimmed, and there are many times more pedestrians than in the daytime.

"The Winter Grave doesn't like bright lights, so they always hang out at night." Aldo stood on the stairs and looked at the pedestrians, "Scared you?" ”

"Nope." I humbly denied it and asked, "What are they doing?" ”

"Worship the moon. The traditions that the planet brings. ”

I looked up at the moon that was missing a place in the sky, "Sacrifice to the moon?" What's going on? That star doesn't have a satellite, does it? ”

"That's true." Aldo nodded, "However, I interviewed a few Winter Grave people who are not repulsive to dealing with earthlings, and they all said that there is indeed a moon. ”

"And there's this thing...... "I wondered," it was probably our scientists' observations. ”

"It could also be that the orbit of that satellite is different from that of a normal satellite." Aldo added.

"It seems more likely." His explanation is clearly more plausible.

"Anyway, thank you for your time." Aldo held out his right hand, "Nice tonight. ”

I politely paid the same respects and symbolically shook his hand.

Slightly cool, pale and slender hands.

"Goodbye." I quickly withdrew my hand.

"Shall I send you back? There are no buses at night and taxis are scarce. ”

"No need. I remember how to get around. I smiled and declined.

I don't really remember, but the AI was perfect for guiding me to the hotel.

"You're too restrained. It's not the same as the big city, so let me send you. Aldo proposed again.

I glanced at the zombie-like pedestrians on the road and stopped insisting, "That's a problem for you." ”

"They're just too lazy to talk." Aldo is like a seasoned guide, "Actually, they are not terrible at all. ”

The two of us went against the flow of people, chatting as we walked.

The oncoming people all had an almost perfect shape.

They either looked down at the road or looked up at the moon.

It seems that except for the road under their feet and the moon in the sky, there is nothing worthy of their care.

What a strange bunch of people.

But I also have some envy of their lives.

It's so simple that it should be calming, right?

Thousands of people are moving in a dense manner on the not wide road.

I'm somewhat curious about their "moon worship" rituals; But I wanted to go back to the hotel and take a hot shower.

Arriving at the door of the hotel, I looked at the lonely reception.

Dim lighting, empty lobby, dozing receptionists, ugly and exaggerated floating subtitles.

"Mr. Conrad has paid a lot of money to invite you over." "Two months ago, he invited more than a dozen experts in various fields to hold a forum at the school, and the place where he lived was far worse than here. ”

"I'll pay a visit to Mr. Conrad before I go back."

"When are you going back?" Aldo looked at his watch, "Time flies, it's going to be the next day." ”

"I'll be back in two days." And then I won't come to this hellish place.

"That's right...... Tonight is the first time we've met, hopefully not the last. ”
