This is a world where humans are extinct, and various bird residents imitate human life. Although they cannot fly, they lead happy lives in the city.

It's a new day.
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXH4iBOiAeR
As always, whether on public transportation, the facades of buildings, or the screens of elevators, the familiar trumpet prelude echoed uniformly.

The TV in the fast-food restaurant was the same, with a male long-eared owl in a suit, chewing on a sandwich and watching attentively. On the TV screen, the news anchor was a canary beauty with bright soft yellow feathers, exuding elegance with every move.

"Good morning, City 4. Welcome to the 8 am morning news. I'm Canaria."
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAjywFIf2Q
Canaria was the popular female anchor of the City TV, with a sweet smile and a professional image comparable to a female celebrity. "Thanks to Mayor Pengury, the people have safely spent another day in City 4. Please continue to enjoy this hard-earned fresh air. Next up is the local news report."
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYoYgQ7FxKu
The two clusters of black and yellow ear-like feathers on the male's head couldn't help but tremble with joy as he stared infatuatedly at the news, strictly speaking, he was just admiring Canaria. Whenever Canaria reported, he would support her wholeheartedly, even if he had just worked all night.

"Early this morning, another Flyania patient in the South District jumped from a height and committed suicide, marking the 781st case since the outbreak of the epidemic ten months ago."
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0ByW8bBdo
Novel Psychotic Encephalitis, commonly known as Flyania.
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvb1v7rxeEu
Patients in the late stages of the disease hallucinate that they can fly, leading to dangerous thoughts and attempts to fly from heights, resulting in fatal falls. 476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlrLYaHTqO
The medical department still has limited knowledge about this disease, with unclear transmission methods, only knowing that it has a long incubation period and symptoms are not obvious during this period, making it difficult to detect patients. 476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0X2qFUGtW
As a result, the government cannot identify latent patients in City 4 and prevent them from committing suicide.
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVw4D4wqdT
But what's most terrifying is that patients may exhibit violent tendencies during the incubation period, seriously affecting the safety of other citizens, like ticking time bombs that can walk. 476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CDPdDXPVh
These patients are referred to as "Plaguemad" by the government.476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXlMkP6znk
The TV screen switched from the studio to the scene last night, where a long-eared owl reporter was reporting near the building where the incident occurred. He was Herowl, the same man who was watching Canaria's report while eating breakfast. 476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkpUWbek1S
Behind him, several ostriches in pure white uniforms with white masks on their faces were carrying the body in a body bag.
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSu8gifg1N1
"As seen at the scene, poleace has arranged to remove the body promptly," Herowl said calmly and solemnly, as he was already accustomed to such scenes.
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvX8R0cY0FF
Poleace is the justice enforcers responsible for maintaining peace and stability in City 4. They always wear masks while on duty, ensuring their identities remain unknown, silently protecting the city as unsung heroes.
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzVTeiLfrf
Seeing the Flyania's body being taken away, Herowl solemnly advised the audience, "I hope everyone cherishes life. If citizens suspect themselves or their loved ones of illness, please seek help early."
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkQwppZIco
The screen then switched back to the studio, with Canaria continuing to report on the morning news. 476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡruWSc8p5T2
Just after watching his own report on TV, Herowl finished breakfast and left, muttering complaints as he walked, "Let's quickly go back, finish the remaining work, and then go off duty. I hate having time in the sunlight."
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHIRyyFIHG
As Herowl hurried towards the train station, he saw three poleace officers in a dark alley beating a middle-aged red-crowned crane who was lying on the ground. It was difficult to tell whether the colors were from feathers or blood.
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2Vtnc1krJ
One of the poleace officers saw Herowl and aggressively approached him, grabbing him and asking, "Hey! Are you Plaguemad? Did you put up these signs?"
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJ9DlXjvpu
Pointing to the posters on the alley wall depicting a blue wing emerging from two white clouds, Herowl with white crossed feathers on his face nervously took out his press pass from his pocket and denied, "No, no! I am City TV reporter Herowl, just passing by, getting ready for work."
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPC8AQfnMPi
After seeing the press pass, the poleace officer immediately became friendly, patting Herowl's shoulder and pointing to the fallen red-crowned crane, saying, "Oh, thank you for your hard work. Plaguemad had a sudden attack just now and tried to attack us, but luckily he was subdued."
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLwtlhCxtu
At this moment, a Crested Myna young man wearing glasses passed by and looked at the poleace officers with disdain.
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9eQXKraUW
The poleace officer made eye contact with him and suddenly grabbed the young man, questioning aggressively, "Hey! Are you Plaguemad? Do any of you know if he is Plaguemad?" pointing to the onlookers around them for answers.
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ISG5SkSLX
Feeling suspicious and roughly accosted, the Crested Myna young man naturally felt displeased. He forcefully pushed the poleace officer's hand off him and retorted, "I am not Plaguemad!"
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAt8YqXuzyb
At that moment, the poleace officer immediately tackled the Crested Myna young man to the ground, stomping on his head with a claw and warning loudly, "Don't resist! You just tried to attack the poleace! Now we suspect you're involved with Plaguemad!" 476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBqXc3NpOR
Another poleace officer also approached and began to rough-search the young man, even scraping off a few feathers.476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJ67EY8w3G
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJkJLphAxs
Herowl, who saw everything, left as if nothing had happened. 476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorKukJ7U27
"Ah, the young people nowadays are so impulsive, as long as you behave yourself and treat others with respect, poleace won't bother you at all."
