Three days passed in the blink of an eye. In the television studio, Canaria was reporting the news.

"The Happy Shopping Center, which was closed three days ago due to an arrest operation, has been reopened today after completing investigation and sterilization. It was understood that on that day, a large number of Plaguemads launched indiscriminate attacks in the shopping center, seriously endangering the safety of the citizens. Therefore, the poleace officers carried out the arrest operation to contain the Plaguemads. Former Deputy Mayor Seagle also clarified the rumors regarding the incident. Here is a snippet of the interview at that time."

The screen then switched to Seagle's interview, where Seagle explained the situation earnestly.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPESEnOHVjK
"The operation that night was the poleace officers carrying out their duties properly. It was indeed more difficult to make arrests with Plaguemads mixed among the ordinary citizens, but I must clarify that the operation was to maintain the peace and stability of City 4, not an attack on civilians. There are citizens or organizations with ulterior motives, trying to direct social dissatisfaction and hatred towards the poleace officers out of malice, intending to slander and damage the reputation of the poleace, and jeopardize social stability. I strongly condemn this, and unequivocally support the poleace officers in enforcing the law with seriousness."

After Seagle's speech ended, the screen returned to Canaria in the studio.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwClpuCrRRm
"Details about the operation that night will be disclosed in the coming days after the poleace officers complete their investigation report. That's all for the news segment, good night."As the live broadcast ended, the turkey director raised his hand to signal the completion of the shoot. Canaria immediately put away her serious expression, relaxed into a normal smile, and thanked her colleagues, saying, "Thank you all, I'm exhausted." After leaving the broadcasting room, Canaria was greeted by many staff along the way as she walked to a separate dressing room, humming a song while tidying up her appearance.

After finishing her preparations, Canaria walked out of the dressing room and mysteriously headed to a certain place, casually greeting the staff she met along the way. After winding through various corridors, she quietly arrived at a secluded standalone dressing room, cautiously checking around to see if she had been spotted by any employees before opening the door and tiptoeing inside.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDTibS82aE
Upon entering the dimly lit dressing room, Canaria walked to the end and turned into a separate restroom. As soon as the door was closed, the sound of rumbling and groaning stomach issues could be heard. Relief, a great sense of relief.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6r0JUAoINc
With no lights on in the restroom, only faint light from outside illuminated the room, as if to avoid being noticed by someone.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUWv395w3Q
Canaria complained about her foul smell while seated on the toilet, apparently from eating contaminated food the day before. It turns out that every time she had stomach issues, she would come here, as long as she wasn't discovered, she wasn't embarrassed. She thought that if the elegant and beautiful Canaria's stomach issues were leaked, she would definitely lose any positive image, because beautiful women wouldn't have stomach issues.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡboJAvHIE3e
After being relieved, Canaria continued to hide in the stall while using her phone because she wanted to check if there would be a second wave of diarrhea, only to find that half an hour had passed in the blink of an eye.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3leuKh1BcP
When Canaria felt the urge again, suddenly the sound of the door opening outside was heard.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpF2vm6TBY
Canaria was puzzled, thinking, "Who would come in at this time, it's so inappropriate." But unable to reveal her presence, she had to hold back the urge and listen carefully behind the restroom door.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKarUdbV7vY
"Is everything okay here?"
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJFl2zj3kA
"It's fine, it's very secluded here, no staff will come."
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CqysPj9yy
"Good."
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBOjDFYsJo
Both voices were very familiar, causing Canaria to wonder, "This voice... is it the Vice Mayor? The other one must be the TV station manager. What are they doing here, could they be having an affair?"
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUIhtk2srx
Inside the secluded dressing room, City 4's Vice Mayor Seagle was in conversation with a male tiger-striped parrot. He was slightly chubby with fine black stripes all over his yellow-green short feathers from his face to his back, and a green belly below his collar. There were blue-purple oval patches on both sides of his cheeks, which were particularly striking.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8SJwoTLFH
This male was none other than the esteemed manager of City TV, Burt.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcyXwMEPIy
It was supposed to be an independent operation for City TV, not a government department, so why were these two discussing important matters here? Seagle was tall and imposing, and the small Burt seemed even more humble in his presence.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nhz5itnTZ
"For the next period, you need to arrange more positive news about Poleace for me," Seagle ordered Burt, indicating that City TV also had to obey the government. Burt hesitantly asked if it was because of the incident at Happy Shopping Mall, to which Seagle harshly replied, "Nonsense, rumors of Poleace killing civilians have been circulating outside, which is very damaging to our image."Knowing that he had asked the wrong question, Burt was frightened and quickly apologized with a bowed head, completely different from his usual authoritative demeanor. "I understand, I understand, but is this true?"
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswJd6SFiMt
Hiding in the bathroom, Canaria felt like she had heard something shocking, but didn't understand why the manager was so obedient to the deputy mayor. "I must not be found out, but...I'm starting to have a hard time holding it in..."
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDi3qphgV5o
"It doesn't matter, when dealing with the Worm, it's better to kill mistakenly than to let it go." Since Seagle admitted openly, Burt could only bow his head in reflection, but still voiced his concerns. "No, because the audience could potentially question based on the facts..." As a journalist, he knew he couldn't change the truth.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbX5mPiT6O
"So that's why you need to promote poleace's righteous deeds far and wide, to maintain law enforcement image." Seagle's tone grew heavier, as the manager of the TV station, this was supposed to be his responsibility.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSAZs3FnSo
Now understanding the situation, Burt continued to apologize with a bowed head, "I'm sorry, I know what to do."
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYqCrBMYMZ
Hearing the explosive information, Canaria was shocked and covered her mouth to hold her breath to avoid being noticed. "What! So, poleace killing civilians is true? If I'm found out, I won't have a good outcome. Please hurry up and finish, I can't hold on much longer..."
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupK5aqOprG
Outside the bathroom, Seagle was clearly dissatisfied with Burt's incompetence, his eyes showing some anger as he continued to reprimand. "And also, in the coming days, there will be many crimes occurring. Report various crime news to make the citizens feel uneasy about the many illegal activities in society, to strengthen the necessity of poleace. I don't need to teach you these things, do I, manager?" Faced with the criticism, Burt could only nod his head humbly. "I understand, I know."
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvzh2pFerB
"Okay, move quickly, this is serious." Seagle returned to a normal tone, but gently stroked Burt's head with his feathered hand, as if intimidating him, and whispered, "Remember, City 4 can do without city TV, but not without poleace, let's go."
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtd8x2R0QQq
By this time, Canaria, with a contorted face from holding back, heard them planning to leave and finally cried in relief. "Too...too good, I really... can't take it anymore..." but of course she couldn't relax just yet.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdslP7hHsX
Confirming that Seagle and Burt's footsteps were getting further away, Canaria finally felt truly relieved, and started the second wave of relief, with a loud gush and a foul smell.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80h0bpwT0m
After feeling relieved, Canaria looked relaxed, thankful that she successfully endured until they left without being discovered. In the dimly lit bathroom, after finishing up, she hummed a song and tidied herself in front of the mirror. Reflecting in the mirror, Canaria was so beautiful and bright, and she was very satisfied with her appearance.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFcWLOFOIR
Once she confirmed her makeup was in place, Canaria happily opened the bathroom door slowly, but was suddenly horrified and speechless, because outside the door, waiting for her, were Seagle and Burt who should have already left.Seagle's eyes were filled with hostility as if they had seen prey: "You heard everything just now."
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Vs1naRpfo
"Such a popular beauty, such a pity." Burt shook his head and sighed, secretly feeling sorry for Canaria, knowing that it was not easy to cultivate a charismatic and convincing anchor.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07COhvO87m
Canaria's mind flashed with how the other party would mistreat her, trembling with fear, she crossed her hands over her chest, her voice trembling, crying for mercy: "I didn't hear anything..."
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykWkZ8w02K
Two tall shadows approached, before Canaria could even scream for help, everything went black.

A few days later, in the morning, Herowl, who had just finished work, wandered aimlessly, having just left the South District station and prepared to go home to sleep. He lamented that Snowily had been missing for almost a week and could not be contacted, worrying about being arrested by the poleace. However, he tried to inquire as a journalist, but found no record of Snowily being arrested.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYIHzTNQiE
Looking at the South District station in front of him, he recalled the night he met Snowily, still feeling the pain of the wounds on his body.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvaVMsUIOx5
"And Canaria has been on leave for three days, it's strange, I have a bad feeling about this."
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx41li0k5M8
As Herowl turned his back on the station and left, the electronic screen outside the station rang with news music again, showing a live broadcast of the early morning news.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFskILYLbm3
"Good morning, City 4. Welcome to the 8 o'clock early morning news, I'm Peaula. Thanks to Mayor Pengury, the people have safely passed another day in City 4, please continue to enjoy this hard-won freedom of fresh air. Next up is the local news report."
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73loDyq1Ay
Herowl turned with sleepy eyes to watch the TV news, although this peacock female anchor had replaced Canaria to report the news, but Canaria's position in his heart was irreplaceable.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3s0kFwBFaP
"Breaking news, just recently, another citizen died falling from a height due to Flyania. According to poleace, the deceased was our station's female anchor, Canaria."
