Reasoning, and then being blasted by the neighboring idol

You long for me, like a traveler in the desert longing for a spring.

But I am not a spring, I am an endless expanse of salt and alkali.

Every time you swallow a drop, your thirst only grows.

I can give you the power to discern everything, but in the end I can make you unable to distinguish. Is this power a blessing or a nightmare?

It can illuminate everything, and it can also burn everything.

What am I? 】

Monday morning.

Miura Gensuke saw the riddle on the bathroom mirror again.

"Brother, what's the answer to this riddle?"

"Let's go to school." Miura Gensuke wiped his face with a towel.

Today is the last day of June.

After pushing Xuechuan Haruka's wheelchair out, the two walked towards the subway station.

In order to exercise, Xiaoyao decided to walk whenever she could.

Then take a wheelchair on the subway.

"Brother, Xiaoyao wants to go out and play with you."

"Didn't we have to study hard yesterday?" Miura Gensuke looked at Xiaoyao who was holding on to his clothes.

Today, Xiaoyao has twin ponytails, and coupled with the youthful summer uniform of Shengwen Middle School, she is so cute that it is almost unfair.

"We're only going out for one day..." Xuechuan Haruka hugged Miura Gensuke's arm and raised her head pitifully: "Brother..."

"Don't act like a spoiled child all the time..." Miura Gensuke patted her little head: "Just go out and play for a day."

"Brother is the best!" Xiaoyao happily sat in the wheelchair, and was then pushed onto the subway by Miura Gensuke.

During lunch break, Gensuke Miura walked into the library.

The library of Shengwen Middle School is quite large and has a wide variety of books.

Although it is already the Internet age, libraries are still essential for schools.

After all, not every book can be found online, and Japan has strict controls on pirated resources.

Although borrowing books from the library is a bit troublesome, it is free after all.

During lunch break, some students had already eaten and were studying in the library.

The library is quite quiet; the only sounds you can hear are the air conditioner and the occasional sound of students flipping through books.

"President." Seeing Miura Gensuke walk in, the female student from the literature department who was in charge of the library stood up quickly. "The library's moisture-proofing work is very good. No bookshelves have been affected by moisture."

"Yeah." Miura Gensuke nodded with a smile, motioning her to sit down and do her own thing.

Tokyo is still in the rainy season, which will not be completely over until early July.

But he was not here to inspect the work today.

This time, the riddle should be knowledge.

Places related to knowledge are undoubtedly schools, libraries and other places.

Miura Gensuke glanced at several rows of bookshelves, and then carefully looked for any abnormalities.

After searching several bookshelves, Gensuke Miura returned to the library's management office.

The junior girl from the literature department is cleaning her glasses.

"President..." After wiping her glasses, the schoolgirl quickly stood up again.

"Are there any books related to mirrors in the library?" asked Gensuke Miura.

"Wait a minute... let me check..." The schoolgirl immediately typed "mirror" into the computer and then looked up the location of the book.

"On the third shelf of Bookshelf F, there's a collection of short science fiction stories called 'Mirror'."

"Thank you for your help." Miura Gensuke immediately walked to the F bookshelf.

Science fiction is still quite popular in Japan.

"Mirror" is a short story by Liu Cixin.

It tells the story of how humans invented the string computer, used it to mirror-calculate the entire universe, and learned the past and present lives of all things in the universe.

When all the truth is exposed to the sun, it is like a mirror, nothing can be covered up.

However, this is theoretically unlikely, after all, it is only possible to simulate it if we know all the parameters at the birth of the universe.

And string theory is not necessarily correct.

After opening the book and reading for a while, Gensuke Miura did not notice anything unusual.

Isn't this the library?

Gensuke Miura plans to go to the larger library after school.

After putting the book back, Miura Gensuke found that there was a student next to him without him noticing.

The other person closed his eyes, closed his mouth, and covered his ears.

A strange expression of not looking, not speaking, and not listening.

Although he has long hair, his gender is still unclear. His face looks very neutral, and there is an indescribable weird feeling.

What does the demon in the mirror want to do?

Miura Gensuke punched it directly.

"You are too violent."

On the other side of the bookshelf, the dancer was talking to Miura Gensuke through the gap.

"This transaction is still simple. If you fulfill its wish, you will get the name of the demon in the mirror."

"So, what is your wish?" Miura Gensuke looked at the strange man beside him.

But the other party is still the same.

Don't look, don't listen, don't talk.

"Hehe..." The dancer's laughter gradually drifted away.

It seems that the challenge this time is to make the monster express his wish...

Miura Gensuke walked out of the library while thinking.

The strange man followed him closely, only one step away.

The other students seemed not to notice the weirdo and continued doing their own things.

Miura Gensuke stopped and tried to pry open the other person's hands that were covering his ears, but those hands seemed to be welded to his ears.

Brute force solution is definitely not going to work...

Miura Gensuke stood in front of the vending machine.

"Fufu."

A pink-haired anime girl immediately appeared on the screen: "Miura!"

"Are you happy today? Are you almost feeling better?" Miura Gensuke also laughed.

"Hmph." Fufu crossed her arms. "Let's not talk about that for now. What's that monster next to you?"

"Can you see it?"

"Of course." Fufu proudly kicked a can of Coke out of the vending machine. "I am the perfect combination of technology and anomaly."

Miura Gensuke picked up the Coke and said, "Do you know how to make the bad guys say their wishes?"

"Of course Fufu knows." The pink-haired girl put her hands on her hips and said, "But are you sure you want to ask me? Be careful if you keep relying on AI, or you'll be eliminated by society in the future."

“It’s like the student who only asks AI questions when doing homework.”

"Aren't you a human?" Miura Gensuke opened the can of Coke.

"Ah...what I mean is..." Fu Fu suddenly fell silent.

Miura Gensuke just felt that the world was quiet.

Do not……

The other students were clearly talking, but he couldn't hear them.

Miura Gensuke quickly looked at the strange man behind him.

At this moment, it has put down the hands that were covering its ears.

"What is your wish?" Miura Gensuke asked it.

The weirdo raised his hand and began to draw in the air as if he were painting.

However, Miura Gensuke couldn't understand it at all.

Will the monster lose a sense every time he regains it?
