In the seventh century of human colonization of the Milky Way, the cutting-edge scientific research space station "Hermes" located on the edge of the "Event Horizon" black hole suddenly sent the highest level of encrypted distress signal, and then fell into dead silence. Ling Feng, a former interstellar special detective now famous for solving "paranormal incidents", was sent to investigate. What he faced was an unprecedented "murder case" in a secret room - the chief scientist disappeared out of thin air in an impregnable laboratory, leaving only a strange energy imprint and an undecipherable quantum communication at the scene. The deputy of the space station, the talented theoretical physicist Su Muyue, became the only key witness, but her testimony pointed to possibilities beyond human understanding. As the investigation deepened, Ling Feng discovered that this was not a simple murder or conspiracy. An ancient "consciousness" from the depths of the universe seems to be making first contact with mankind through this "death", and everyone on the "Hermes" may be the medium of this contact, or even... A sacrifice. The truth, like the Event Horizon itself, once touched, can never be escaped.
