"Erisedstraehruoytubecafruoytonohsi."

What is this? A mirror? Are the words on it a person's name? Except for the first one [Eris], I know this name is a legendary Greek mythological goddess who likes to play pranks. It seems that she caused the Golden Apple Incident

Coming.

If you look at it from a distance, this is a very majestic mirror, with a height reaching the ceiling, a golden frame, and two claw-shaped brackets supporting it at the bottom.

But after all, it is just a mirror, and the image of the star is reflected in the mirror. Although it looks weird due to lighting problems, there is nothing too special about it.

After walking around the mirror and looking at it carefully, I suddenly found a piece of letter paper in the corner under the mirror.

Opening the letter, Xing Ke saw Dumbledore's handwriting on it:

"This mirror is called the Mirror of Erised, or the Mirror of Desire.

Mirrors can reflect our deepest desires.

But this mirror cannot provide us with knowledge or truth.

People will waste time in front of the mirror and even go crazy because of it.

After all, one cannot live in a dream.

Don't rely on dreams and forget about life.

Remember, remember.——Albus Dumbledore”

Well, after reading Dumbledore's instructions, I immediately understood what it meant to "get what you desire most" on the map before Lao Deng.

Where is "getting" here? It's clearly just "seeing", right?

Lao Deng, are you kidding me?

But why didn’t I even see it?

"Can you answer my question? Mirror?"

As if he was sure that the mirror would answer his question, Xingke stared at his own eyes in the mirror and said.

But the mirror still didn't respond.

"Stop imitating me. I know you are smart. Don't you know that if you take the initiative to imitate an ordinary mirror, there will be a delay?"

When he looked in the mirror and saw no reaction, Xing Ji continued to add.

Suddenly, Xingji felt that the time and space in front of him suddenly blurred, like an old TV cassette, but it soon recovered.

"Oh, actually you just want to deceive me, right? You obviously didn't notice anything unusual in your heart. And I have no wisdom."

As if giving up, the star-carved image in the mirror started to move on its own, as if it had its own consciousness.

"Ah—it actually started to move on its own."

"Because you want me to move, so I can move."

"That means if someone doesn't want you to move, you won't move?"

"No, I can reflect the hearts of everyone who is wasting their time in the things they desire most. The so-called Occlumency is of no use. If you want to stop the mirror, you must eliminate the light, not put on clothes."

"You speak so logically, why do you say you have no wisdom?"

"I have no wisdom, I only have myself and the instinct to reflect the hearts of others. The logic I express comes from your heart and is just a reflection of you."

"My heart desires that you will answer my question, so you will answer. Right?"

"Yes."

"Then why didn't you react at first?"

"No, I have been reflecting what you desire most from the very beginning, the moment you stood in front of me."

"Are you saying that what I desire most is myself? I'm not that narcissistic, am I?"

"No, what you desire is not yourself."

"Then what do I desire?"

"... What you have longed for, what you have longed for all the time from the beginning to now is - to waste your time.

"What I long for is wasted time?"

"Yes, all you long for is wasting time, and wasting time is also the purpose for which I was created. My Creator created me just to kill boring time."

"How boring is that wizard who created you? Did he create you just to chat and pass the time?"

"No, you are wrong. My creator gave me many abilities when he created me."

"Oh? Can you tell me your other abilities?"

"Of course. I also have the ability to save items in a different space, conditionally exercise the ability to take out the items I have saved, ignore any mental defenses and reflect the human heart, create a different space and then adjust the speed of time in the different space and the main world.

Ability, etc., I can’t tell you anything else at the moment. Only if you meet the conditions can you become my true master.”

"Huh? Do you belong to Dumbledore?"

"No, after the death of the previous master, I was stored in Hohenheim according to the master's will, and I served each principal with limited service until the next master who met the conditions appeared."

"What conditions are met?"

"First, passively trigger the real wasting time function. Second, give me magic power. You have only completed one of them."

"Huh? I didn't give you magic power..."

"Warning, you have stayed in the mirror space for thirty minutes. According to the settings, the user will be reminded."

"It's only thirty minutes, what's the warning... Uh, no. You said different space? And you can adjust the flow of time..."

Xingke suddenly woke up at this moment, and the ominous premonition was very strong.

"Three hundred suns and moons have passed in the main world. Do you want to exit the mirror space?"

"Quit - quit - quit now."

Following Xingke's somewhat anxious command, the space in front of Xingke suddenly became blurry again, but just like before, it recovered immediately. To the extent that people would not notice it if they were not paying attention.

However, unlike the time Xingke spent thirty minutes ago, what appeared in front of Xingke this time was not exactly the same scenery, but a room completely different from what he remembered, with all kinds of things piled up around it.

Such items seem to be all-encompassing.

Looking at this unfamiliar scenery, Xingji finally realized that he had spent nearly ten months without knowing it?

Looking at the situation in which this mirror was moved here, wouldn’t it mean that I have been missing for ten months?

Have all my death notices been posted?

But why is this happening? Did Lao Deng deliberately trick me? It’s unlikely?

"Mirror, come out and explain the situation."

Although it doesn't look like someone is deliberately plotting against me, I feel somewhat unhappy.

"My creator gave me the ability to reflect everyone's heart, and then set up a ritual - when someone who really wants to waste time comes in front of me, I will passively activate the mirror space and set the time ratio to one

One hundred and forty-four. And as long as this person gives me more magic power, he will become my next master."

"Is there no one to pass the time in front of you?"

"Wasting time is not without cost. Time will not be gained innocently, nor will it disappear innocently. The three hundred days and nights of a thirty-minute jump will actually be subtracted from the time owned by the jumper. So it is truly wasted.

A man of time is a man who does not care about the price."

In other words, the only difference between spending a year with yourself is that your body will not grow up?

"You really look like a cursed mirror that appears in fairy tales."

"I have not denied that."

From the beginning to the end, the tone of this magic mirror has not changed. The appearance it uses has always been that of Xing Ke himself.

But I don’t know if it was an illusion, but Xingke thought he was not telling lies.

Maybe he wasn't lying at all when he said that he only exists of ego and instinct.

"Regardless of whether you lied or not, you can't trick me in vain, so you should completely become my thing!"
