At this moment, a familiar female voice interrupted their discussion.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQyg3bQGZx
"Hey, isn't that Herowl? What a coincidence to meet here," she had a pair of slender female long legs, and a yellow short skirt just covering her buttocks with golden feathers, shining brightly in the sunlight.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNvStvbn6q
Herowl looked towards the voice, and it was the well-known female anchor Canaria.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFTbKclYA2
Canaria stopped by, looking at Herowl and Snowily with a curious expression in her eyes even though she didn't ask anything out loud about their relationship.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡflXUj6ENqv
Herowl admired Canaria, and Snowily stood nervously beside him, stuttering anxiously, "Go...Canaria, hey, I..."
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjDVhsVIOE
"Wow, it's the famous female anchor Canaria! I love watching your news reports!" Without waiting for the response, Snowily enthusiastically stepped forward to greet her as if she were a long-time fan, of course, this was just pretending.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jshwdy9wK
Canaria looked at Snowily up and down, then at the nervous Herowl, seemingly thinking of something. "Thank you, what happened to you guys? Why are you all injured?"
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4M39ZQ9KQE
"It's nothing, I just fell last night, and I don't know why Snowily got injured either."
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUwlATlHvy
After directly introducing Snowily to Canaria, Herowl explained the injuries, and Canaria responded casually, "So you're Miss Snowily, hello."
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJtQNvrAF8
"Yes, we're just friends," Herowl felt the need to clarify their relationship, as if afraid of being misunderstood.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcv1VRGZsrG
"Haha, you don't have to tell me that. I'll go now, goodbye." Canaria was also considerate and didn't continue chatting to block the two.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wg2UxU9c5
Unable to explain further, Herowl could only bid farewell politely, while Snowily maintained a polite smile and waved.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnqh2maJ6D
After Canaria left, she also respectfully saluted the passing poleace and excitedly linked arms with poleace for a photo, leaning her whole body towards them. The masked poleace stood upright, looking dignified and serious.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAaClBR9yV
Unlike Snowily, Canaria truly approved of poleace from the bottom of her heart, supporting their actions, which is why she reported the news with such dedication, just like Herowl, who has not changed his beliefs.After Canaria turned around, Snowily immediately dropped her polite smile and questioned Herowl, "You seem nervous, do you like her and are afraid she will misunderstand you?"
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZU9CIfBZdc
Herowl was quite surprised that Snowily could see through his thoughts, and she added, "Not just me, she obviously also noticed, so she deliberately teased you just now, she has no interest in you at all."
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFiDBnpsuK2
"I know, she is a famous broadcaster, how could she be interested in someone like me, a small reporter..."
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKTjgkrgmG
Snowily was straightforward and comforting, patting him on the shoulder and saying, "Don't be too self-deprecating, someone will eventually notice you."
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmeGR3BZFgz
"Really... haha..."
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKaGq5JJ5BZ
With Snowily leading the way, they arrived at a market with shops on both sides, some bustling with customers while others were deserted. Herowl was curious about this situation, and Snowily explained that the citizens who were labeled as "Flyania invisible patients" by the government chose to support businesses with similar beliefs and understanding of the true situation.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhXyvMB3Us
After hearing about this strange concept, Herowl questioned the divisiveness of this behavior and didn't understand the need for boycotts.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZht2jLF3pe
"City 4 has always been so free, the money you earn is yours, why can't you decide how to spend it?" Snowily responded to Herowl's doubts with a question.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXNZ2OZJBQ
While Herowl found the point valid upon further thought, he shook his head and sighed, "It seems too naive."
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0b9r36cff
"Many things start from seemingly naive beginnings and progress step by step."
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2XnqN59bu
Stopping in front of a restaurant, Snowily continued to explain, "When you go in, you will see that The Birddies actually help each other out."
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1ZfzaBj9l
Herowl was confused about who the Birddies were. The Birddies were a term used to refer to those who knew the truth about the information tower explosion a year ago, reminding everyone that they lived in the same concrete forest, shared the same beliefs and goals, and should not easily give up.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycywBzbfh0
"Oh, then it's the big caterpillars, right?" Herowl accidentally blurted out poleace's term.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIzhkV2KKj
Snowily glared at Herowl, who quickly waved his hands in denial. "I've just heard it too much and subconsciously borrowed the term, I hate that nickname too, it makes everyone lose their sense of empathy."
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEaTtsINSB1
Snowily didn't pay much attention to the explanation, as she and all the Birddies knew why Mayor Pengury referred to them as big caterpillars. It was a form of brainwashing to make everyone distrust informed citizens and divide society.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡge0WQHiUZ1
"They only need obedient citizens who work hard to earn money, have three meals a day, and live in peace and contentment. When everyone is focused on their basic needs, they will have no time to pay attention to anything else unless their interests are impacted."
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknLJJKep5G
This explanation left Herowl awkwardly smiling, "Yeah, I thought the same way..."
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPMlKjfbGc
"It's okay, we used to live like pigs in a confined life."
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3Uo6dYDif
Sensing the negative atmosphere, Herowl quickly changed the topic, "By the way, I plan to repay Mr. Petrelo and Mrs. Petrelo during the vacation. Do you want to join?"
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpaX9ZLcWb
"I actually had plans with them today, but they said they were busy and rescheduled for next week," Snowily said, revealing that she didn't intend to be alone with Herowl.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRel51Y1X5D
Seeing Snowily about to ignore the line and enter, Herowl hurriedly looked at the queue and stopped her.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcEobmLlDt
"Don't worry, I have a reservation for this place," Herowl assured.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTkKhpqnYK
Once the two entered the restaurant, Snowily continued to explain The Birddies' beliefs, immersing Herowl in the atmosphere. Herowl noticed a sign posted in an inconspicuous place near the cashier, which was the symbol of evil in his understanding: two white clouds with blue wings.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKVBzErKnf
In the following days, Herowl met Snowily before work and personally experienced various information that seemed like fake news to him. As a journalist, Herowl made it clear that he wouldn't blindly believe these words and would maintain an objective perspective. 276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2k3LtAPvYA
Snowily didn't push him, believing that the time for Herowl to believe had not yet come, and that every individual needed a trigger to awaken.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JeoPDwfgu
"Some things are just too absurd. It's ridiculous to think that the poleace, who are supposed to uphold the law, would kill citizens, let thugs roam freely, and incite chaos in society," Herowl explained his thoughts to Snowily, clearly not awakened enough after that night.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMUDrpxZcI
Talking about the regime, Snowily still had a helpless smirk, "Ha, absurd things, the more exaggerated, the better, best if it's so exaggerated that no one believes it."
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXmSIL7hV9
Not knowing how to respond, Herowl awkwardly thanked her, which left Snowily puzzled.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBBTY5sc9L
"Thank you for showing me so many new things," Herowl said, even though he actually thanked Snowily for the events of that night. If she hadn't mentioned Flyania, he might not have tried to glide down. And, she wasn't obliged to explain these things to him repeatedly.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbPzwc1AV5
Snowily also noticed his thoughts, "Seeing what you and I have experienced together, I just don't want you to live a clueless life. Aren't you supposed to help other citizens?"
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOde7GkHFr
"Mm..."
