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.

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."
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ePqv1dbKH
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."
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYm6onv0m6
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."
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXC2rdxTbP
Novel Psychotic Encephalitis, commonly known as Flyania.
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHLjM2zVi8
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. 465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZ8kcM1Wlg
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. 465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPHp3fy2OM
As a result, the government cannot identify latent patients in City 4 and prevent them from committing suicide.
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kWMA0apB1
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. 465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsYtPPoZhS
These patients are referred to as "Plaguemad" by the government.465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8iBKA0mHWN
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. 465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbM1oZg46O
Behind him, several ostriches in pure white uniforms with white masks on their faces were carrying the body in a body bag.
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstIVodz06T
"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.
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzfplL9pNG
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.
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8k7WFb3bj
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."
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQXdiqDAtR
The screen then switched back to the studio, with Canaria continuing to report on the morning news. 465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeD5fUSoBg
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."
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3upZk4aKoo
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.
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRYzyyg0Ap
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?"
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6BI9yO4Vh
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."
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslgYWi6PKy
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."
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTehQtIEWgR
At this moment, a Crested Myna young man wearing glasses passed by and looked at the poleace officers with disdain.
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGiPlstu25w
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.
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdITnwXr7c
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!"
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2J1POYq0bU
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!" 465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPP3ZaUticB
Another poleace officer also approached and began to rough-search the young man, even scraping off a few feathers.465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTYVuuFToS
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsgyBZJvzM
Herowl, who saw everything, left as if nothing had happened. 465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAIwiZ4zC9
"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."
