Chapter 217 The Meaning of Existence

The sparkling water on the clear lake surface is as bright as a mirror, forming a sharp contrast with the deep and dark bottom of the lake.

Duo sat cross-legged on the water bank, holding a fishing rod and throwing the thin fishing line forward.

The iron hook with the bait plopped into the water, and he quietly waited for the silly fish to take the bait.

The breeze is like a bamboo flute, blowing on his handsome face.

In the sunny noon, handsome men and beautiful women are sitting on the shore of the lake fishing.

Girls are extremely beautiful, and boys are too handsome. If I had to choose, I would choose the latter.

"Duo, what are you doing?"

Tohka asked curiously.

After lunch, they wandered around for a while, and finally Duo had a sudden interest and wanted to try fishing.

Of course, the main reason is that I am really tired.

The elf is worthy of being an elf, after walking so many roads, he is still full of energy!

"fishing!"

With a serious face, Duo patiently grabbed the fishing rod.

"Fish? Can I eat it?"

Tohka's eyes lit up, and she looked at the other party expectantly.

"Of course, the fishing rod is telling me that a fish is about to be hooked!"

"Duo is too powerful!"

Her eyes flickered with sincere admiration.

"I saw it too, those fish are watching Duo fishing, I believe they will be able to catch fish soon!"

"..."

Duo's smile froze, and he looked towards Tohka's position, only to see a few huge fat fish poking their smooth heads out of the water.

Their fish eyes are full of curiosity, and they are also watching how Duo can catch the fish.

Occasionally spit out a few bubbles from his mouth to cheer for him.

It's amazing, that person is fishing, and both of them hope that Duo can get a good harvest.

Little harm, very insulting!
Duo took a deep breath, the shadows under his feet swayed slightly, and several strands of black shadows quickly separated and flowed directly into the lake.

Immediately, the fat fish watching the show sank directly, and a pair of black hands grabbed their tails.

Within a few seconds, the fishing line was shaking desperately, Duo looked surprised, and pulled the fishing rod upwards vigorously.

"Ten Xiang, look, I caught a fish, I said it was a good one!"

The tail jumped out of the water, and the scales reflected a dazzling luster.

More than a dozen fish were connected to the line, and he pulled them up with an unsatisfactory tone.

"How did you do it, Duo?!"

Tohka's voice was very surprised.

"It's nothing, as long as you practice more, you can be as good as me!"

Duo replied modestly, and immediately took the fat fish out of the fishing line, and began to prepare a whole fish feast.

He is very skilled at scraping scales and taking thorns, and the short sword glows with a cold light. Duo remembered Zed's teaching that killing fish must be fast, accurate and ruthless, and it is actually very easy to find the weak point.

"It's ready to eat right away."

Duo looked up and smiled, moving swiftly.

Tohka nodded vigorously, sat obediently in front of her, and watched the process seriously.

A pair of amethyst gemstone eyes shone with anticipation, and at the same time, the corners of his mouth were drooling.

Full of cheerful and comfortable atmosphere.

Not far from the lake, a pair of men showed gentle smiles when they saw this.

The fishing rod next to the foot of the shoe was deeply inserted into the soft soil.

The man on the left is stretching comfortably, enjoying the moisture of the sun.

"I really like this kind of day, cozy and comfortable."

"If you want to be lazy, just say it, the president will never forgive you."

"Haha, forget it then."

Ripples appeared on the calm lake, and the reflection of the fishing line dissipated temporarily like foam.

The two men chatted briefly for a while, then calmed down, waiting patiently for the fish to take the bait.

And at this moment, the man on the right suddenly spoke.

"It seems that there was a space quake yesterday."

"Isn't this a regular thing?"

"It is said that this time, a high school was blown up..."

The man on the left finally turned his head and looked at his friend: "Are there any casualties?"

"It's not in the newspaper, it's just being repaired."

"Really……"

He was lying on the lawn, pale and short green, barely covering his earlobes.

"Hope it's okay."

"Then do you want us to go to the shrine to pray later?" the man joked.

"Let's take a look. High school is a group of students. They are about sixteen or seventeen years old. They are very young."

Hearing this, the man on the right was silent for a moment, then nodded his chin.

"It's really too young, just like Hirata's child. I still remember the stupid way he called me uncle."

"According to the time calculation, the child should also be in high school, right?"

"I think so, but Hirata often talks about it in front of me, and it's hard to forget..."

After speaking, the man on the left sat up straight, ready to pack the fishing rod.

"Hey, what are you doing? It's not long since we baited!" the man on the right said in shock.

"Stop fishing, those fish have been watching from the side, it's boring."

He opened the suitcase, recovered the fishing lines in an orderly manner, and folded the fishing rods away.

Immediately, I glanced at the golden sun, the warm sunshine, very comfortable.

"Then where are you going?"

The friend followed him to clean up, asking questions while doing it.

"Spiritual Academy..."

"Are you going to visit Hirata?"

"Well, it's hard for him to be crazy all day long since his son died."

The man paused his arms, his eyes full of complexity.

"Five years, it's been five years since the space quake."

The man on the left nodded slightly, then closed the suitcase and pulled it hard.

"At that time, Hirata's children were also in school, and we were all at his house, eating the meals he cooked himself, saying that it was Xiaohe's favorite food."

"Oh, I remember!"

The man on the right was in a trance for a while, then put his bags on his back and sighed.

"It's a pity that the early warning was not so accurate at that time, otherwise..."

"What do you think will happen if there is no space shock?"

"There will be earthquakes!"

"Don't be kidding, it's getting late, let's go."

"Well, at least Hirata can fish with us now."

"Forget it, his skills are very poor..."

The two talked and laughed, and slowly left here.

The water of Bitou Lake was sparkling and clear, and Shixiang was silent.

Even though the strong smell of grilled fish swirled around her nose, she just sat there blankly.

Duo also stopped his movements.

The emerald green grass swayed in the wind, and the girl's purple hair swayed along with it.

"Duo, I suddenly understood why AST wanted to be wiped out. Maybe my existence itself was a mistake..."

Shixiang's tone was low, and her eyes showed confusion, Duo knew that kind of eyes.

That was the entanglement and confusion in my previous life, whether I should go to Tsinghua University or Peking University.

"I'm very happy that Tohka thinks so, at least it can prove that you are a kind child!"

Duo replied, and then placed the fish on the table that Fraxinus had just sponsored.

"Some people are destined to be different from others, Tohka, you are such a person!"

"But what's the use of this, I..."

Tohka raised her white palm, very depressed, full of uneasiness and hesitation in her heart.

Seeing this, Duo silently wrapped his little hand around her cold fingers, and said with a smile.

"So, as I said earlier, I'm here to help you!"
