Who is she?

Her name is also "Summer Night", but "Summer Night" is not an uncommon name, and perhaps she is indeed related to Summer Night, but it may also be a coincidence, and this is not the most important issue.

Importantly, first of all, it was obvious that she couldn't be Lady Summer Night. It's not just a matter of looks, but just a couple of words from her speech, and a little observation of her movements and demeanor, it's easy to conclude that this is a guy with a flamboyant personality and a strong personality, completely different from (at least on the surface) gentle and reserved Summer Night.

Then more questions arise from this:

Why is Summer Night's body here?

How does it connect to another person's head and become another person and move around?

Does Aether Exploration know about this? Or is this just some kind of weird experiment they're going on?

If that's the case, why would the castle lord agree? Her affection for her sister was evident to all on that day, and I don't think she would have allowed such a thing if it had not been for a very special reason.

Ever since I found out that the person in front of me was using the body of Lord Summer Night, my mind was not on the speech, and although it seemed to be a very successful speech from the reactions around me, I didn't have time to care about it.

These questions were like those heads that flew out of the accelerator that day, circling around me, dangerous, weird, and fascinating......

If all unreasonable assumptions are excluded, then ......

There's one hypothesis left there, it's been there for a long time, but I've thrown it in a corner and ignored it until now, when I finally notice it again.

A peculiar sensation crept up my spine until it took over my body and I remembered that I was no stranger to it, having experienced it about two years ago, shortly after Ethom's death, and it was a wonderful mixture of fear and excitement.

After the speech, I didn't have the courage to approach the "person" who was using the body of Lord Summer Night, who knows what she was, what if she sensed my thoughts and killed me when I approached?

As in the past, I am a person who is afraid of death.

Just when I was wondering whether I should get involved in danger, danger came to me on its own.

This is the so-called "what to be afraid of", right?

Just the day before yesterday, with the mentality that it never hurts to give it a try, I contacted a security company and asked them to investigate if anyone had been secretly investigating me or "Mohs Biotech" recently.

Originally, I was just to be on the safe side, but I didn't expect to receive feedback this morning - someone is indeed investigating "Mohs Bio".

When I asked for more information, the security company said that they could not confirm the identity of the other party, nor when the investigation began, and apparently the other party was also a professional.

Although there is no evidence, my intuition tells me that it is the same person named "Summer Night" who is secretly investigating the "Mohs Creatures".

Thinking of this, we turned our heads and looked out the window, as if the other party was now peering at me through this window...... Of course, this was just a delusion, and I didn't see anything out of the ordinary, just people coming and going, riding broomsticks between the tall buildings.

After a night of reflection, I felt more and more that the hypothesis was true, and that it seemed very incredible, but if all the other hypotheses were more unreasonable than it, and the new facts indirectly proved it to be true, then I could no longer ignore such a hypothesis—

Is it possible that the experiment of Lord Summer Night a year ago did not fail, but succeeded, at least partially?

Previously, many people, including me, had thought that the experiment had failed, and the reason for this was obvious—the death of Lady Summer Night, who was the key figure, was an instant death, which could not have been a sign of success no matter how you looked at it.

In addition, judging from the subsequent leaks, Lord Summer Night seems to have serious paranoia, so this experiment designed based on delusions probably has no possibility of success in the first place.

But now that I look back and think about it, does the death of Lord Summer Night necessarily mean that the experiment failed?

What is the essence of this experiment?

- It is the power of the suspected "gods" channeled from the 144 "heads", and these powers are connected to the body of the summer night.

What is Summernight's Adult's thoughts?

- She believes that she is a "god", and as long as she completes the connection, she can regain her own power and become a "god" again.

What was my mind at the time?

- The experiment may summon a "god", and if the "god" comes, it is likely to lead to a catastrophe that will destroy the world.

Lady Summer Night's idea is wrong, she is clearly not a "god".

I was wrong, too, and the fact that everyone except Lord Summer Night is alive and well is the best proof of this.

But is it possible that the two of us actually guessed part of our thoughts......

By connecting those "heads", Lady Summer Night did become a "god", but not in the way she thought her body became a part of the god's body - perhaps, this could also be counted as "becoming a god"?

And the "gods" did come to our world through experiments, but the so-called "advent and destruction" is just my imagination, why can't it come to our world quietly?

Even, perhaps, even it is in some kind of doubt: it has no idea who it is or why it is here.

In this way, it will definitely investigate its own origins, which is logical. It's just that I don't know what the reason is, and it directed its gaze to the "Mohs creature".

However, although "Mohs Creatures" was not the place where it was created, it did have something to do with its birth.

An idea popped into me:

Instead of waiting passively here, waiting for the other party to investigate their heads, why not take the initiative and try to contact the other party?

Today another unexpected thing happened.

As soon as I walked into the corporate office, I found a black mask waiting for me inside – I hadn't seen them in over a year.

Seeing me, Black Mask didn't say too much to greet, and got straight to the point and conveyed the notice from the headquarters of "Aether Exploration":

With immediate effect, I have been appointed as the head of Research Project ETHP44012301096, and the required laboratories for the study are ready, and the assistants are in place, and I need to arrive at the new laboratory by 2pm today and start working.

This improvised project is not actually a new job, but something I've done many times before – testing those "heads".

As I had predicted a year ago, Aether Prospecting would summon me to work as a coolie again when the need arose, as I was one of the few people left who knew anything about the "head".

At 2 p.m., I walked into the lab and once again met my "old friends" whom I hadn't seen for more than a year. Then I immediately understood why Aether Prospecting was in such a hurry to ask me to retest them.

Those "heads" have changed. They used to have different appearances, but now they are all the same. And this look, I just saw it just a few days ago.

This is the face of that "summer night".
