At this moment, a familiar female voice interrupted their discussion.
301Please respect copyright.PENANA9cvMPFxmvg
"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.
301Please respect copyright.PENANAriuE820D7W
Herowl looked towards the voice, and it was the well-known female anchor Canaria.
301Please respect copyright.PENANAw4YBe33MVt
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.
301Please respect copyright.PENANAYyFX1EgQS1
Herowl admired Canaria, and Snowily stood nervously beside him, stuttering anxiously, "Go...Canaria, hey, I..."
301Please respect copyright.PENANAa4wgA4jLuk
"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.
301Please respect copyright.PENANAeFnYwULfQH
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?"
301Please respect copyright.PENANAyYxBYXMZOb
"It's nothing, I just fell last night, and I don't know why Snowily got injured either."
301Please respect copyright.PENANAMNIQq3eZOA
After directly introducing Snowily to Canaria, Herowl explained the injuries, and Canaria responded casually, "So you're Miss Snowily, hello."
301Please respect copyright.PENANA0AuuWBa7hh
"Yes, we're just friends," Herowl felt the need to clarify their relationship, as if afraid of being misunderstood.
301Please respect copyright.PENANABWsx8wIZIH
"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.
301Please respect copyright.PENANAUUxakyUWjf
Unable to explain further, Herowl could only bid farewell politely, while Snowily maintained a polite smile and waved.
301Please respect copyright.PENANAaS88IzsynL
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.
301Please respect copyright.PENANA2SUWkyNuec
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?"
301Please respect copyright.PENANAd7jL1CnZoa
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."
301Please respect copyright.PENANA3YjdaZiAs2
"I know, she is a famous broadcaster, how could she be interested in someone like me, a small reporter..."
301Please respect copyright.PENANArbKbsXLAsQ
Snowily was straightforward and comforting, patting him on the shoulder and saying, "Don't be too self-deprecating, someone will eventually notice you."
301Please respect copyright.PENANAfYLu4gkPbt
"Really... haha..."
301Please respect copyright.PENANAvNccGIazFB
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.
301Please respect copyright.PENANAPp1hlY4kDv
After hearing about this strange concept, Herowl questioned the divisiveness of this behavior and didn't understand the need for boycotts.
301Please respect copyright.PENANAznQ78DszFi
"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.
301Please respect copyright.PENANALRyD39qlKK
While Herowl found the point valid upon further thought, he shook his head and sighed, "It seems too naive."
301Please respect copyright.PENANAci3SwJ4goh
"Many things start from seemingly naive beginnings and progress step by step."
301Please respect copyright.PENANAIfCUIw5PTD
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."
301Please respect copyright.PENANAHjptv5AdiF
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.
301Please respect copyright.PENANA8S7oNYch1B
"Oh, then it's the big caterpillars, right?" Herowl accidentally blurted out poleace's term.
301Please respect copyright.PENANApiCpTw2Nna
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."
301Please respect copyright.PENANAcFlfzZoWGj
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.
301Please respect copyright.PENANAfIRP0aa5nn
"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."
301Please respect copyright.PENANA4QJYb29g11
This explanation left Herowl awkwardly smiling, "Yeah, I thought the same way..."
301Please respect copyright.PENANAHZTlnQg7MT
"It's okay, we used to live like pigs in a confined life."
301Please respect copyright.PENANANSKLRJhoKK
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?"
301Please respect copyright.PENANAuBiBX71GuH
"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.
301Please respect copyright.PENANA3gwpoCeLbx
Seeing Snowily about to ignore the line and enter, Herowl hurriedly looked at the queue and stopped her.
301Please respect copyright.PENANAcyl7dSyoqN
"Don't worry, I have a reservation for this place," Herowl assured.
301Please respect copyright.PENANAMO9dQPEpC8
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.
301Please respect copyright.PENANAUwN3DRIgRY
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. 301Please respect copyright.PENANAtsubkjRVwW
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.
301Please respect copyright.PENANAhMeZ1wmUcW
"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.
301Please respect copyright.PENANA1MDhauAw5m
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."
301Please respect copyright.PENANA7fswGUdpkI
Not knowing how to respond, Herowl awkwardly thanked her, which left Snowily puzzled.
301Please respect copyright.PENANAD6bue2tmfB
"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.
301Please respect copyright.PENANANlbXoBPluR
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?"
301Please respect copyright.PENANA9pe9nPn1Lc
"Mm..."
