At this moment, a familiar female voice interrupted their discussion.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCaH4A9HnSs
"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.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLX5xRAevTq
Herowl looked towards the voice, and it was the well-known female anchor Canaria.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5fGuWFTH0
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.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrL9W8ybm0
Herowl admired Canaria, and Snowily stood nervously beside him, stuttering anxiously, "Go...Canaria, hey, I..."
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrGmBQuL3n
"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.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBAeVwgXz2
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?"
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9GYn5DAGN
"It's nothing, I just fell last night, and I don't know why Snowily got injured either."
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvaCretVqd
After directly introducing Snowily to Canaria, Herowl explained the injuries, and Canaria responded casually, "So you're Miss Snowily, hello."
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNYIoHwdlY
"Yes, we're just friends," Herowl felt the need to clarify their relationship, as if afraid of being misunderstood.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0qJgapDoQ
"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.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYX00HOVjOH
Unable to explain further, Herowl could only bid farewell politely, while Snowily maintained a polite smile and waved.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOAxe7A2ve
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.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4m1wg3NlsQ
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?"
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6f48ldjpl
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."
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrZxQ7pEzx
"I know, she is a famous broadcaster, how could she be interested in someone like me, a small reporter..."
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlwgaTxz8J
Snowily was straightforward and comforting, patting him on the shoulder and saying, "Don't be too self-deprecating, someone will eventually notice you."
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51jQFZSDVa
"Really... haha..."
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXPYZFWmEo
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.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MbA3dYMZR
After hearing about this strange concept, Herowl questioned the divisiveness of this behavior and didn't understand the need for boycotts.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdoXz1buFj
"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.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjd40MIWRH
While Herowl found the point valid upon further thought, he shook his head and sighed, "It seems too naive."
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTQbBHPlgG
"Many things start from seemingly naive beginnings and progress step by step."
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGHYBuPqZK
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."
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0s2azRKyY0
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.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynk8umMgdg
"Oh, then it's the big caterpillars, right?" Herowl accidentally blurted out poleace's term.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5pqOXtuPD
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."
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HXpqZBeRL
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.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2dRFgYly7
"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."
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgZo6H6mLc
This explanation left Herowl awkwardly smiling, "Yeah, I thought the same way..."
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7NLgtWFU1
"It's okay, we used to live like pigs in a confined life."
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZ78cSjpWk
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?"
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZiQ265JE4
"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.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3Il8llK7M
Seeing Snowily about to ignore the line and enter, Herowl hurriedly looked at the queue and stopped her.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDboNdBidXv
"Don't worry, I have a reservation for this place," Herowl assured.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOT8kWHvLGR
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.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5giMXdZYHk
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. 185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8BdAd8yhG
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.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8a15u62kiS
"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.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0woUWHz716
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."
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnG2uKODtp
Not knowing how to respond, Herowl awkwardly thanked her, which left Snowily puzzled.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Zbg4g7BbC
"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.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufoKpTEm5p
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?"
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKc10ir96P
"Mm..."
