"At midnight, under the moonlight, I will take Apollo-Gideon.”
A small card was sent to the Gotham City Museum without anyone noticing, but no one took it seriously. Everyone thought it was just a bad joke.
"Jason, shouldn't we take this seriously?”Pantheon, who had just graduated from school and came to the museum as a security guard, said to Jason, the head of the security department and his senior.
"Joke, joke. Which thief would send a notice letter before stealing? Not Penguin, not Scarecrow, not even Crazy Clown. I've never heard of this strange thief Ji De before. He must be some stupid kid joking.”Jason took a sip of bitter coffee, relaxed his brows, and continued very calmly,""Besides, the director didn't even take this matter seriously. We just have to do our part.”
Although he said that, Pantheon, who had just stepped out of society, was still a righteous youth with a strong sense of responsibility. He thought to himself that he would keep an eye on Apollo tonight.
Apollo Gem, a yellow round gem that was like the sun, was donated by Wayne Enterprise. It was said that it was a treasure discovered by Wayne's ancestor in the New World during the Great Voyage Era. It was donated to celebrate the completion of the Gotham City Museum. It was one of the most valuable collections in the museum.
It was already evening, and Pantheon had to stay for the night shift. As a newcomer, he should be doing the hardest part. The night shift was very tiring for the entire human race because people were used to leaving early and returning late. They worked at sunrise and rested at sunset. The night shift was undoubtedly an anti-human existence, but no matter how much they complained, someone had to stay.
"Pantheon, thank you for your hard work tonight. I left you some coffee.”Jason was ready to get off work, but because of the nightlife, he still took a sip of the coffee prepared for the night shift staff before leaving to cheer himself up.
Pantheon was such an unlucky person who worked the night shift, and his weapons were only a flashlight and a rubber baton. He was the only guard in the huge museum at night. He had long heard that the museum often encountered unusual things at night, such as the legendary batman falling from the glass skylight on the roof, or evil criminals passing through the museum's sewer pipe, making people hear creepy sounds.
Of course, criminals would not send advance notice letters, so they did not receive any attention. Pantheon's lonely footsteps echoed in the museum, which was a collection of cultural relics or treasures from all over the world. Behind every piece was a history and story. Working in the museum had allowed Panson to gain a lot of knowledge.
But tonight, he went to the Apollo Gem collection, which was located in front of the collection cabinet in the center of the museum. This cabinet had a gravity sensor alarm. As long as the gem moved slightly, it would trigger the alarm, and the police would arrive within three minutes. Moreover, there were 360-degree cameras in the surroundings. No matter who approached, they would be discovered by the guard room.
To be honest, Pantheon didn't think anyone could steal the Apollo Gem, but he was still a little uneasy, so he stayed here.
The largest skylight of the museum was right above their heads. Looking out, they could not only see the moonlight but also the shadows of the buildings in the distance.
The moon was already in the middle of the sky. Pantheon looked at the time on his wrist. It was only a few minutes away from midnight. The surroundings seemed to have suddenly quieted down, causing Pantheon's heart to beat faster.
Pantheon calmed down. Wasn't this place always so quiet? There's nothing to be afraid of. Take a deep breath. Pantheon adjusted his posture in his mind. He didn't understand why he was suddenly so nervous.
Perhaps it was because he was too tired from the night shift, or perhaps it was because he did not drink coffee before that he was sleepy. In short, Pantheon began to find an excuse for his uneasiness.
At some point, the moon seemed to have stopped above Pantheon's head, making the young security guard forget everything around him.
A white figure slowly descended, as soft as a feather, and appeared under the shining moonlight. He was wearing a white gown, white gloves, white leather shoes, a white cloak, and a white top hat. The person's face was covered by the brim of his hat, and it was against the moonlight, so Pantheon couldn't see his face clearly.
However, the man wasn't strong. Pantheon compared his body size to the man's, and the man was even smaller than him. Could it be a child? Pantheon thought.
But Pantheon soon knew that this was not the time to let his imagination run wild. This unexpected guest was obviously the thief who sent the notice letter. He could not help but say the white shadow's name," Strange Thief Ji De?!!"
"I sent a notice, but no one came to watch my performance.”
Pantheon could hear the complaint in the young man's voice. It seemed that he was unhappy that the notice letter was not taken seriously. But this person was a thief, right? How could he be so high-profile and even talk about the audience? This was the first time Pantheon had heard of such a request from a thief.
" Don't move. You're under arrest." Pantheon remembered his responsibility and pointed his baton at Kidd.
Kidd was unmoved. He jumped down from the Apollo Gem display case, still as light as a swallow. It landed on the floor without making any sound. Then, he ignored Pantheon and looked at the display cabinet." Oh, there's only an outdated gravity sensor. It's too shabby to be a gem guard.”
"Don't move." Pantheon continued to shout. However, she was praying that the people in the security room would see this and call the police.
"These cameras have been jammed by me, so no one will come to help. Why don't you go back to your lounge and have a good sleep?”Ji De said. His subordinate's movements weren't slow either. He lifted the glass cover and took out a special card.
"I said don't move."
However, the thief was a thief. How could he stop because of the words of a small security guard? The thief's hands turned into wind, and the position of the gem and the card had been switched. The gravity sensor did not trigger the alarm.
"I got it." Then, goodbye. The strange thief took out a strange white gun and shot it at the roof.
Pantheon raised his head and looked over, but he was suddenly interrupted by a smokescreen. Pantheon was afraid that it was a bomb and quickly squatted down to cover his head. However, he found that the smoke was just a confetti and a spiral ribbon, which was used by ordinary people to celebrate their birthdays. When he looked up again, the white figure of the strange thief was already gone.
The skylight was intact, but there were indeed no thieves. It was like a magician who suddenly appeared and disappeared, only taking away the gemstones. Pantheon was stunned for a long time.
Inside the glass cover, the Apollo Gem had already disappeared, leaving behind a card that read 'Apollo Gem is in my custody--
Ten minutes later, the police car arrived at the entrance of the museum with sirens flashing. They searched the museum but found nothing.
