"Can you still accept what you see, audience?"

The turkey producer overseeing the news was pleased with Herowl, thinking that he was guiding the citizens to hate the disruptive Plaguemad, so they agreed with his words and did not stop him, even though it was not part of the script provided.

At that moment, Herowl and the seagull engineer in charge of controlling the live feed exchanged a glance. The seagull looked dazed, shaking his head, seemingly unaware of what was happening.
65Please respect copyright.PENANAr5ckFIjRJG
"We have all been deceived by the city government. How long will we be enslaved and confined?" When the producer heard this, he thought his ears were playing tricks on him, staring wide-eyed at Herowl.
65Please respect copyright.PENANAoxP92KuiM2
Outside the tower, citizens and poleace officers alike stopped in surprise, looking at Herowl in the live broadcast.
65Please respect copyright.PENANA6WrygGkPfN
"We were already able to fly freely! There was no epidemic at all!" As Herowl's voice gradually rose, the producer finally came to his senses and commanded the engineer, "What nonsense is he talking about! Stop the broadcast immediately!" However, the engineer, engrossed in listening to Herowl's words, hesitated to act.
65Please respect copyright.PENANAQ0qqMKGy82
"Flyania is just an excuse to eliminate dissent! Forcing everyone to create panic and self-censorship tools!" At that moment, Pengury and Seagle in the mayor's office were also stunned, realizing the seriousness of the situation.
65Please respect copyright.PENANAypeQvNqGR1
The producer shouted at the engineer, rushing towards him, intending to take matters into his own hands, "Stop daydreaming! I said stop the broadcast immediately!" But no matter how hard he tried, he could not catch up with Herowl's hoarse yelling in front of the camera.
65Please respect copyright.PENANAisnyoPAKg9
"Flying isn't an illness!"
65Please respect copyright.PENANAMdtqy31x3F
These words, displayed on electronic screens broadcasting news in various districts, echoed throughout City 4.
The informed members of The Birddies in different areas erupted in cheers, clearly distinguished from other citizens who showed no reaction, revealing who was awakened in society and who was kept in captivity.
Even the people near the Central Tower joined The Birddies in applauding, and even the detainees under the paw of poleace showed a smile in their suffering. Through the live broadcast, the real voice was finally spread to every district.
65Please respect copyright.PENANAIkKQthsPgI
At that moment, Herowl, who spoke from the heart, felt a sense of relief. Many smiles of the citizens of Flyania who fell from the building flashed through his mind, followed by Mr. Petrelo, Mrs. Petrelo, Canaria, and finally Snowily. They finally found peace, not in vain.
In the mayor's office, Seagle was furious at the words, but Pengury smiled confidently, seeming to have a plan to resolve the situation.
65Please respect copyright.PENANAAy7Mll7puY
Back in the broadcasting room, the turkey presenter, knowing that Herowl had betrayed them but was unable to stop the broadcast, became angry and his already red face showed even more anger.
Meanwhile, the engineer in charge of the broadcast raised his thumb to Herowl with a satisfied smile. It turned out that he wasn't daydreaming just now, but deliberately acting to reduce the presenter's suspicions because he was also a member of The Birddies.
The presenter then forcefully pushed him away and personally stopped the broadcast.
65Please respect copyright.PENANA2U8zWEZF8c
However, the infamous Herowl, without waiting for other staff to react, immediately fled the broadcasting room, running through the TV station left and right with a clear destination in mind. Along the way, he pushed aside other staff, with plenty of security guards chasing after him.
65Please respect copyright.PENANAMwvHfskFGB
In the blink of an eye, Herowl opened the iron gate and arrived at the outdoor platform on the thirtieth floor of the Central Tower. The platform had only one entrance, and Herowl had no way out. He walked to the edge of the platform, looking down at the chaotic crowd and poleace below.
65Please respect copyright.PENANAChbdGYOhsN
By then, a significant number of poleace and security guards had chased after him through the iron gate, watching him standing at the edge. They just wanted to make Herowl, who had caused a huge disaster, lose his footing, creating the best scenario where he had suffered from Flyania and leaped to death due to delirium.
In the eyes of this group of authoritarian henchmen, Herowl was even more dangerous than a murderer.
65Please respect copyright.PENANAMJldIjWPTv
Knowing that he had reached the end of the road, Herowl was fearless, calmly and casually saying, "Rest assured, you bunch of lackeys. I will definitely jump."
He then turned around, took a step forward to the edge, lamented that he had finally fulfilled his mission, letting all the sacrifices rest in peace.
65Please respect copyright.PENANAHwIXjGIsdr
Looking down at the ground, Herowl realized that what he had done might not bring about immediate change, thinking that perhaps everyone today was not yet deserving of the freedom to fly. But he believed that the seeds planted today would grow strong in the future.
65Please respect copyright.PENANAxIplgc33Y5
With that in mind, Herowl looked up to the sky and cried out, "The masks of hypocrisy will be torn off, and the shameless lies will be exposed!"
With that, he ripped open his shirt, took off his upper body clothes, and took a step forward, leaping off the platform.
65Please respect copyright.PENANAQZPSlWWHFF
What Snowily said at the time about every life having a time to step forward and become the hero in their own hearts, now seemed to be referring to this moment.
As he fell, Herowl remembered flapping his wings at the station that night, feeling the feathers rubbing against the air, holding onto hope for flight.
"We can fly! I will prove it with my own body!"Herowl encouraged himself in his heart, while flapping his wings. He noticed the direction of his descent changing. Then, suddenly, about ten floors above the ground, he made a sharp turn and soared high into the sky.
65Please respect copyright.PENANA0apkLzoRoW
Although the news had stopped broadcasting long ago, all the citizens under the central tower could see clearly. Even poleace stopped in shock, with all the citizens watching as Herowl circled in mid-air.
65Please respect copyright.PENANASkdmNZlkC3
The sparrow school student that poleace had under its claw looked up at Herowl with admiration, eyes gleaming.
65Please respect copyright.PENANA1P2zYg8Uhh
Herowl, flying freely in the air, shouted excitedly, "Success! We were meant to be able to fly! These wings are made for flying! Flying isn't an illness!"
65Please respect copyright.PENANAzJbs7EFTdh
In the mayor's office, Pengury remained calm upon seeing this situation, while Seagle became nervous and picked up the phone to inform the poleace commander, "Authorize the use of firearms to shoot down that owl!"
65Please respect copyright.PENANAUfxRUrOjH4
Poleace under the central tower received the order and began shooting into the air with their guns. The sound of gunshots rang out incessantly, but the guns had too short of a range and not a single shot hit Herowl. Instead, some stray bullets hit civilians, causing even more chaos.
65Please respect copyright.PENANAKFpAX3g19I
The informed Birddies took advantage of the situation and fought back, and the oppressed civilians couldn't resist joining the conflict, uniting in numbers against poleace. Other ignorant citizens thought a Plaguemad outbreak had occurred.
65Please respect copyright.PENANAsUQ5LYlRi6
Despite the chaos on the ground, Herowl continued to fly in the air. He flew around City 4, letting the citizens of each district see him, making them realize that flying isn't an illness. Although the news broadcast was blocked, the citizens couldn't help but believe what they saw with their own eyes.
65Please respect copyright.PENANAKQukHgQaXK
As the only flying citizen in City 4, Herowl circling in the sky was the best proof that debunked the lies. Even if poleace wanted to stop him, they couldn't shoot him down.
65Please respect copyright.PENANAOFmGT9SfGN
Considering the future of City 4, Herowl decided to take this opportunity to prove that there was no toxic sea beyond the island and to witness the wider, freer world outside the island.
65Please respect copyright.PENANAWzMzo2thKX
So, Herowl flew west towards the outskirts of the island, looking down from high above at the familiar streets, railways, and scenes, realizing that things looked completely different from the air.
65Please respect copyright.PENANAgIES80UMa3
After much effort, Herowl finally flew beyond the edge of the island. In the sunlight, the coastal seawater was crystal clear, and as far as the eye could see, the vast ocean was clean and blue. He took a breath of fresh air, which was indeed unpolluted. Just as he had expected, the toxic sea and gas were all nonsense.
65Please respect copyright.PENANAXzPDPJfK8C
"I must go back and tell the citizens of City 4, lead everyone in search of the truth of the world!"
65Please respect copyright.PENANAihR8MTVwOp
As Herowl turned back to inform everyone of the good news, he suddenly found that the City 4 he had just left had disappeared, the entire island completely gone, as if it had never existed, leaving only an empty sea.
65Please respect copyright.PENANAknjLgxR9aM
It couldn't be an illusion, as Herowl flew back the same distance and looked around, but there was no sign of land anywhere. It was then he realized that from the moment he flew out of the City 4 sea area and left his home in City 4, he was destined never to return.
65Please respect copyright.PENANAyNZCCl5LL2
Feeling hopeless, Herowl realized that even if he returned to City 4, Pengury would not spare him. Since City 4 couldn't accept him, he decided to spend the rest of his days flying endlessly over the sea, searching for other land that could be a new home.Leaving one cage only to find oneself in another new cage was unexpected.
65Please respect copyright.PENANAfcHKxRSD2H
So how did the residents who remained in City 4 cope with the situation? What changes occurred in City 4 after the flying incident was exposed?
