Pollution Starts with Understanding

There are some things that you cannot look at, think about, or try to understand. Because in this world, understanding itself is a source of pollution. Chen Yu has been doing cognitive quarantine for five years and has sealed hundreds of logic viruses without ever missing a beat. His secret is simple: never try to understand what those viruses are. The iron rule of the segregationists is engraved on his rivets - "Only look at the phenomenon, not the reason." Until one day, he found a fingerprint at the death scene of a philosophy professor. The fingerprint was so clean that it did not belong to any known organism or any known source of contamination. It was perfect—perfect like the signature of a higher dimensional being. Twenty years ago, his mother left him a music box before she disappeared in the Twilight Zone. There are identical fingerprints on the bottom of the music box. From that day on, his rivets began to vibrate. The trembling frequency was exactly the same as his mother's pulse when she last held his hand forty years ago.
