Am I really hallucinating?

Chapter 574 The Unique Philosophical Wisdom of a Fisherman
Carrot still went fishing with the rented fishing gear. Honest and straightforward Carrot felt embarrassed to refuse after being told off by the other side, and in the end, Rabbi reluctantly paid for Carrot's trip.

This money was a travel allowance given by Zheng Fan, who said that he could spend it as he pleased, but the rabbi was used to being frugal and couldn't stand such extravagance.

However, the rabbi soon found something that interested her.

One area of ​​the reinforced ice surface appears to have been converted into an ice rink. On one of the larger rinks, some local children are skating and playing. On another, smaller rink, which is less crowded, several children seem to be undergoing systematic training under the guidance of adults.

They said it seemed to be a sport called figure skating.

The children looked so beautiful skating, they seemed to be floating freely in the wind, and this was especially true against the backdrop of the bay.

"Whose child are you?" A female teacher noticed the rabbi who had been watching for a long time and slid over to greet him with a smile.

Rabbi: ?
He paused for a moment, then his face flushed slightly.

How long has it been since I was treated like a child?! Being short, thin, and having a delicate face—did I eat your rice?!

It seems like things are still going badly for him even after becoming a god.

"I'm an adult now." Rabbi lowered her voice as if to appear more mature, but no matter how low she lowered it, her voice still sounded clear and lovely.

"No way?! An adult? I thought you were in middle school... I'm sorry!" The female teacher looked at the rabbi again in surprise, and then apologized.

“It’s alright,” Rabbi sighed.

It's not anyone's fault; it's just that she looks so young. She can't even blame her parents, because they are both very tall. The Hedwin family has been known for generations of handsome men and beautiful women, but the rabbi has produced a "middle school student."

But it's alright, the "junior high school student" has now become a god, so it doesn't really tarnish the family's honor. It's just that this godhood is still not very high.

She watched the children practicing some kind of ice spin and jump. One child accidentally fell and his face fell, but this was the most common emotion shown by this child who was really no more than a junior high school student. He quickly got up again.

"If you want to skate as beautifully as the wind, you have to practice hard."

“Yes, these kids started practicing at a very young age. It’s very difficult for figure skating in the gray neighborhoods to compare with that in the white city. After the earthquake, they lost a lot of practice time... They all want to catch up.” The female teacher’s eyes showed a look of relief and pride for the children.

Upon hearing this, the rabbi watched the children's actions, reached out and pushed against the side wall, sliding a short distance across the unpaved ice outside.

Under the female teacher's puzzled and somewhat surprised gaze, she gracefully glided for a long distance before returning.

"No, you..." The female teacher was about to speak up when she saw Rabbi lightly jump, his body spinning four and a half times in the air before gracefully landing on the ice and gliding with outstretched limbs.

"Hmm...it's fun." Rabbi slid back under the female teacher's somewhat horrified gaze. "Can you teach me to ice skate?"

"I?"

"Ah, I used special powers to achieve this. I'm actually just a novice. Don't mind what I just did," the rabbi chuckled.

……

Rabbi is having a lot of fun here... Looking back, she didn't have much playtime during her childhood and spent it all with a heavy feeling.

They were forced to work hard to support their families before they could finish their school studies, leaving them with very little time for entertainment.

Now that I can relax and find things I like, Radish is very pleased to see this.

It's going fishing.

When ice fishing in Anderson Bay, you can choose to fish normally at the edge of the ice or fish in specially dug ice caves.

Radish wanted to face the sea directly, so he chose to fish at the normal seaside.

I conjured up a small stool myself. There were also folding chairs in the rented fishing gear, but while a normal person could sit on one, it couldn't support the weight of the radish.

After making all the preparations, Radish cast the fishing line into the sea and slowly sat down.

I wonder when my first fish in my doll life will appear?
This wait lasted for quite a while.

radish:"……"

Surely not? You didn't forget to add bait, did you? And you didn't make a mistake in any of the steps...

"Didn't you get your first fish in your inhuman life either?" A light, airy voice asked from the side.

Radish turned his head and was surprised to find that there was someone next to him who he hadn't noticed for so long, fishing with him.

The other person had long, snow-white hair and wore a white uniform from the Bureau of Investigation. On the winter bay, they looked like an ice and snow sprite, except for a pair of dark eyes that seemed somewhat eerie and prominent. The strange sense of déjà vu reminded Radish of Mr. Doll.

She was also fishing, and glancing at her fishing gear, it seemed she and I had rented from the same fishing hut.

It seems they've been sitting here for quite a while.

"Beep beep..." "My name is Shang Xia, and I work for the Bureau of Handling Cases. Right now... just pretend I'm on vacation," Shang Xia replied calmly.

Radish was a little surprised. It hadn't switched its sound signal yet, and the "beep beep" sound had actually been understood by Miss Shangxia.

However, it doesn't look dangerous.

Although the fish that had been fishing silently beside it for a long time could not detect its hiding place, it could not sense any murderous intent or anything else amiss, and they could communicate normally.

"Did you just arrive in Dadu? The aura of the white world on you is very faint, but there is also a very strong aura of another world on you, which makes me a little uncomfortable. It's hard to imagine that someone like you would come to Dadu instead of staying in your own world," Shang Xia asked casually.

“Beep…”

Shang Xia turned to look at the rabbi in the distance, who was already "on the road": "That child has the same aura as you. So you came with her."

“Beep…”

"She's an adult? Sorry, I didn't realize."

Shangxia and Luobo chatted casually. Luobo embellished his experiences slightly before recounting them, not afraid of violating the taboos of the capital and revealing anything, as Zheng Fan had previously explained the precautions to him and Rabi.

Shang Xia also shared his situation.

Although she came from the largest central government, there has been some turmoil there recently. A force called the Pure White Society went mad, and the Tide Army followed suit. The Pure White Beacon, which seemed the most reliable for the time being, is also showing signs of going mad.

This had an impact on the capital. Some people suggested that Shang Xia go to a more distant place temporarily to avoid being targeted, so they sent her to this most remote large neighborhood.

However, she is living quite well here, but she still can't figure out her goals and the meaning of her existence.

“Beep…”

"Yes. Since you were originally something created by humans, your goal and purpose for existence are naturally for humans, which is quite obvious."

"Beep beep..." Radish gently shook his head.

Shang Xia glanced at him with some surprise: "Although you now have your own intellect, aren't all your frameworks set up for you by others? Your thinking has never strayed from your original master... and your current master."

"Beep beep..." Radish answered calmly.

However, it became a god, not as a tool to be used, but as the user of the tool; it itself is the tool by which it exercises its own will.

“…I see. Don’t ask about its origins, but ask yourself if doing this will satisfy you and make you happy…” Shang Xia stared blankly at the sea with its cold wind blowing in front of her, and murmured.

“Beep…”

Even humans cannot escape the teachings of their parents, elders, and the surrounding environment.

If you easily deny the impact of all of this, that's the kind of habit that will make you feel unreal.

Whether it's good or bad, it's the same.

If something can still think for itself, then it is meaningful. Thinking itself is meaningful. Only through continuous thinking can creation become "human beings".

Mechanical dolls never stop thinking.

And you, miss?

"I……"

Radish's fishing line was tugged, and he seized the opportunity to somewhat clumsily reel it in. The fish seemed quite large, but as a fishing novice, Radish, despite his immense strength, was cautious and unsure of where to direct his reel.

Shang Xia quickly put down his fishing rod and ran over to help Luo Bo.

But her own skills weren't very good either; it was obvious she was a beginner.

In the end, in the chaos of the situation, they accidentally dragged the fish down with them, which allowed them to successfully reel it in.

It was a big fish; just this one alone would make countless anglers envious, exclaiming, "A newbie's incredible luck!" Today was quite a day.

"Beep beep..." Thank you for your help, I've succeeded! Keep up the good work, miss.

After leaving a message, Luo Bo knew when to stop, packed his things, and went home.

Shang Xia stared at Luo Bo's back for a long time before sitting back down in the folding chair, looking at his still motionless line.

When will my fish finally take the bait?
