Herowl recognized the owner of the voice, looked into the car, and couldn't believe it was the snowy owl girl. He nodded in pain and reached out, being pulled into the car by the girl.

By this time, the bullies had caught up from behind. Herowl had just stepped into the car, and the door hadn't closed yet when the wheels began to turn. 259Please respect copyright.PENANAE0upJ5rl82
The bullies kept running and attacking the back and sides of the car with their sticks, and Herowl closed the door with force. 259Please respect copyright.PENANAGOp4WVH827
At that moment, he felt like he had just returned from the brink of death, out of breath, and locked eyes with the snowy owl girl, full of gratitude.

Sitting in the co-driver's seat, Mrs. Bermuda Petrel, with her gray-white feather, nervously flapped her wings and screamed, "Oh! Drive fast, drive fast!" 259Please respect copyright.PENANAxU5PUMJcrZ
On the other hand, the male driver, also a Bermuda Petrel, held the steering wheel calmly and complained, "These lunatics are still attacking the car, they're sick..."
259Please respect copyright.PENANAunn1WdstVw
As the male driver stepped on the gas pedal, the figures of the bullies behind the car gradually became smaller.
259Please respect copyright.PENANAVnTOKiVb93
The snowy owl thanked sincerely, "Thank you for saving us. It was really dangerous just now, luckily you were there."
259Please respect copyright.PENANAr5OqZugJtx
"We are all The Birddies, helping each other is natural. Sir, are you okay? Do you need to go to the hospital?" The male driver looked calm and then glanced at Herowl through the rearview mirror to inquire about his injuries.
259Please respect copyright.PENANAauYX5otWss
Herowl, still shaken, gradually relaxed his tense face, "Thank...thank you, I'm fine."
259Please respect copyright.PENANAWu70YjcwWD
"Really? You just fell from a three-story building, how is it possible to be okay? Get checked out." The male driver was surprised that Herowl only had minor injuries.
259Please respect copyright.PENANAljmdcIlNkJ
The snowy owl was also very worried about Herowl's condition. "Exactly, look at you, besides the fall, you also have many bruises from being beaten up, but let's get out of the south district first."
259Please respect copyright.PENANA8cwcvclZq7
"Don't worry, I dare not stay for a second longer, hold on tight." The male driver stepped on the gas, and the engine of the car roared. The scenery outside the window quickly receded as they left the station. 259Please respect copyright.PENANATejHYQgiuV
There were no more bullies on the street, and life returned to normal, like two different worlds.
259Please respect copyright.PENANAqUPymrG25w
A female citizen leaned out from the co-driver's seat to comfort the back seat, "Phew, we finally got out of that place, rest well, you two." 259Please respect copyright.PENANAu1yi1Cbv5q
Herowl and the snowy owl nodded politely, finally able to relax. Herowl looked at Snowily and asked, "By the way, how did you manage to escape just now? I was really worried about you after we got separated."
259Please respect copyright.PENANARVwdynzgYv
"Things got out of hand suddenly, I called out to you but you didn't respond, and a few bullies were chasing us. So, I and the people around me had to run to the other end of the platform and take the stairs back to the lobby," Snowily replied, looking embarrassed, clasping his hands together and sticking out his tongue. "Sorry for leaving you behind, but I had to look out for myself too."
259Please respect copyright.PENANA7IXUoAwb88
Herowl smiled painfully and replied, "No need to apologize, in that situation, everyone had to fend for themselves, and we just met by chance..."
"It's not just that, you also taught me something. I felt guilty for not helping, thankfully I got help from both of you," the male driver responded with a smile.
259Please respect copyright.PENANA5k20CsZj6w
As they chatted, Herowl realized that they did not know each other.
"Oh, I haven't introduced myself yet. I'm Herowl, although I don't have a phone at the moment. If you don't mind, please leave me your contact information, I will repay the three of you for saving my life," Herowl said as they hit a red light.
259Please respect copyright.PENANA09Dh4Dx6qs
Apologizing for not seeing clearly earlier, the male driver introduced himself, "Sorry, I didn't see clearly just now. I'm Mr. Petrelo, and this is my wife, Mrs. Petrelo," the female citizen said as she waved from the passenger seat.
At that moment, Snowily also formally introduced himself, "I'm Snowily, pleased to meet you." Snowily shook hands with Herowl, looking closely at his hands and inquired, "But how did you manage to fall from the third floor without getting hurt?"
259Please respect copyright.PENANAEwyb9BYL7U
Herowl hesitated slightly and replied nervously, "You might not believe it, but when I fell just now I inexplicably flapped my arms, and it seemed like I could actually fly. I suspect I have Flyania..."
Snowily couldn't help but chuckle, explaining bluntly, "I already told you, Flyania is a scam, a hoax in the whole City 4."
259Please respect copyright.PENANAFLFKp2Vnrb
Herowl, still incredulous, said with a smile, "Deceive the whole city? How is that possible, haha..."
Seeing Herowl laughing innocently, Snowily suddenly became serious.
259Please respect copyright.PENANAW8GxfIjd4Z
"Thanks to your City TV, responsible for broadcasting false information around the clock, coupled with the government's suppression of the truth, it's easy to turn Flyania into a reality," Snowily said coldly.
"False! I was just reporting the truth to the public," Herowl said, noticing Snowily's change in expression and trying to match his seriousness, while asking, "And you're saying Mayor Pengury and the entire regime orchestrated the Flyania hoax? What's the benefit of spreading such lies?"259Please respect copyright.PENANAyR509Mqzzn
259Please respect copyright.PENANAYUxpAd5uNa
"Fear," Snowily stated firmly, because fear is the most powerful weapon of the ruling class. "As long as the people are afraid, they will obey. Didn't you learn this when you were young?"
259Please respect copyright.PENANAUhTL9AilwN
For a moment, Herowl was speechless, unable to believe what he was hearing.
259Please respect copyright.PENANAdH39Hzr9iI
After a long silence, he finally managed to say, "But it doesn't make sense to spend a lot of time and resources on such a grand deception, it could lead to a political disaster if exposed. Why would they do such a foolish thing?"259Please respect copyright.PENANA9Esn1QdLW2
Snowily couldn't help but explain a bit: "How can I put it... they actually don't think it's a hoax at all, perhaps they genuinely believe they are establishing a new truth, in order to justify their actions." 259Please respect copyright.PENANAkuk77dZI74
"It's not like science fiction, how could something like this happen." Herowl's response was indeed correct, reality is not science fiction.259Please respect copyright.PENANARHzLuONCEz
259Please respect copyright.PENANA2lUz2huqwP
Unfortunately, sometimes reality is even more science fiction than science fiction itself.
