Overturned Tower

Delphinium pursed her lips.

Although she left school very early, Delphinium also went to school that year...

Of course she knew what kind of campus violence would result when she entered the campus with such an unpleasant nickname and used it as her first impression in front of all her classmates...

Not to mention, Wendy's symptoms were so obvious back then - unlike regular bird spirits, they only had "ear feather"-shaped hair behind the ears. He has a pair of real wings...but he can't fly.

The bones and hearts of birds are designed to facilitate flight. With human weight and heart strength, it is simply unable to support wing-driven flight.

Perhaps it was because he realized that although he had wings like a bird, he could not fly at all... that he joined Peter Pan's Neverland Legion.

The turmoil caused by the Peter Pan incident lasted for many years. The children who were abducted by him were frightened by him saying, "If you go back, your parents will be so angry that they will kill you." Those children who have left their parents at the willful age of six, seven or seven and eight years old and long for freedom certainly do not understand what death is, what parents are, and what love is.

They trust their leader completely...but although Peter Pan himself will not grow up, these children will.

Wendy has joined the Neverland Legion since she was eight years old, and is considered one of the older ones. There are more than a dozen children older than him, and when they reach the age of thirteen or fourteen, their intelligence levels have also been greatly improved as their bodies and brains develop. When they instinctively began to empathize with the parents who cursed after they attacked and cried after their children were kidnapped, they learned "doubt" for the first time.

The cause of all these changes was an eight-year-old girl.

She had just started school at the time, and she had a falling out with her family because she didn't want to do her homework, and she said she wanted to run away from home. And Peter Pan sensed her longing for freedom. He was already a little arrogant at the time and went to capture her without waiting for the girl to leave the sight of her parents.

And her parents' crying and begging for mercy made the girl relent. But she didn't break away immediately, but wanted to see more of her parents begging for her return.

But when she arrived at "Never Island", Peter Pan realized that he had arrested the wrong person - she was not a child who longed for innocence and freedom, but a willful and undisciplined person who was unwilling to obey anyone. She also didn't recognize Peter Pan's leadership status and wanted to go home and have a look. At that time, a fourteen-year-old boy relented.

They have just reached puberty, and they are ignorantly aware of the opposite sex. Even though the girl's willfulness made her other brothers and sisters hate her and stop playing with her, the boy still decided to go back secretly for her to "see if her parents had repented."

As a result, the boy accidentally met the parents who loved their daughter too much and was discovered by them.

The young boy was originally frightened and wanted to run away, but the pleading parents of the girl tried their best to persuade him to stay. The boy also acted on a whim... Even though Peter Pan warned them many times not to talk to the treacherous adults, he still decided to listen rebelliously.

Just hearing this made him feel the difficulty of his parents, and he learned how many people had become unfortunate due to the "Never Island Legion"'s wanton behavior on Happy Island.

He had the idea of ​​repentance and went back to tell the other brothers the "knowledge" he had gained. After serious thought, I decided to go home and have a look.

But after all, he was still a young man, and he did not realize the danger of Peter Pan at all, nor did he know what kind of ideological trends his actions would bring. So, in public and in full view of the public, he seriously expressed his feelings to Peter Pan and said that he wanted to go home and have a look.

Children are always easily infected and led away. The children who were told by the boy that they were crying also said they wanted to go back and have a look. Peter Pan realized that his authority was threatened - so he pretended to be compassionate, put the boy back, and brutally killed him after he left.

However, the "fire" the boy brought back had already begun to burn.

Those brothers and sisters, who were thirteen or fourteen years old, died one after another. Until then, the children were still reluctant to trust adults - this was a deeply ingrained concept they had acquired since coming to Neverland.

Wendy was the first child to decide to ask adults for help, and the only child to dismantle Peter Pan's rule and end the five-year Peter Pan incident.

Just like Peter Pan's false threat to them——

——He was really betrayed by those adults.

The executive department that received his request did not trust his words immediately, and the leisurely investigation and vacation that followed resulted in the death of his only friend;

The media who learned all this did not follow the initial agreement with him to hide his name and photo. Instead, they secretly exposed everything for the sake of traffic, inadvertently promoting the birth of the nickname "Informer";

The teachers at the school arranged for him to go to school for tutoring and go to school with children four or five years younger than him, but they did not stop the children when they shouted nicknames like "snitch."

Just like the code name "Inferior".

The difference is that the inferior's codename is one he chooses himself, based on a desire for self-destruction.

But Wendy didn't like this code name at all. It could even be said to be disgusting and fearful. And when he finished his tutoring, with the fantasy of escaping from it all, he happily jumped to middle school and studied with his peers...

He heard the familiar code name from those strange classmates again.

--"informer".

The difference from before is... By this time, the Peter Pan incident had begun to ferment.

At that time, the Seven Sky Islands began to enthusiastically implement the "First Consensus". That is to say, "No organization or individual may, under any circumstances, use violent or non-violent means to deprive others of their lives," which of course includes the lives of criminals.

Although Peter Pan and his Never Island Legion caused huge economic losses; regardless of the people killed by the "Never Island Legion's collective evil", there is clear evidence that the people he killed personally are There are sixteen. And they are all minors.

But in order to show that they have "compassion to forgive others", the adults did not deprive Peter Pan of his life - anyway, those who really suffered economic losses or had their children robbed were only a very small number of people on Happy Island. For many people, Peter Pan is just a distant legend.

Before that, there was a death penalty in Kongdao. Since then, all capital punishment has been abolished on the Seven Sky Islands.

The final punishment given to Peter Pan was to have him imprisoned with the prison for life as the warden - this was both an atonement and a threat. Peter Pan is cruel, which also increases the danger level of prison in people's minds.

As a result, Wendy was betrayed by the adults again.

...Although Delphinium didn't know exactly what Wendy was thinking at that time.

But she thought that when Wendy learned that Peter Pan would not be sentenced to death, she would be so frightened that she could not sleep or wake up from nightmares.

For Wendy, something even crueler happened soon.

After the devil "Peter Pan" was mercifully forgiven by people, because of the huge traffic caused by the name "Peter Pan", his deeds as a fairy tale writer became known to people, so he became a prisoner. star.

This will not allow the fairy tales he wrote to be passed down, because the fairy tales he wrote are too profound and profound. Although liked by experts, not kids.

But as his deeds became known to people, the children who had been kidnapped by him and committed evil crimes with him began to panic.

They also grew up slowly at this time.

In order to prevent themselves from being persecuted and to increase their talking points, they told a huge lie together - they glorified all the cruel, violent and absurd acts done by the Never Island Legion, so Peter Pan instead It is to become a child's dream, a "kid king" who has a childlike innocence but does bad things. Their behavior of being captured by Peter Pan actually made them worthy of the envy of their classmates.

As a result, Wendy, as a "whistleblower", suffered more persecution.

Peter Pan did not lie to him.

When children become adults, their innocent cruelty does not become compassionate - only the gentle become gentle. Cruel people will become equally cruel when they grow up.

It's just that they once pulled off the wings of butterflies, but now they choose to pull off the wings of their former brother.

The last report that Delphinium found was that a student in a certain high school attempted suicide. The scene was also coded.

Although that doesn't prove that the person who committed suicide was the "snitch."

However, Delphinium investigated the school's student recruitment report for the same month and found that Wendy was nominally "transferred" after that. However, Delphinium checked reports from other schools and found that he was not transferred to any school.

In other words, he was essentially dropped out of school.

Finally, he entered Tian'en University through self-study examination a year later.

Since then, he has changed his code name.

Delphinium found a new student named "Wendy" from the student roster of Tian'en University, and at this time Wendy called herself "Sheath".

Yes, he was already a "sheath" before he came into contact with Alice.

At that time, he already had a knife in his heart.

At that time, Wendy's appearance was completely different from that of the "Informer"... His appearance had become strong and steady, no longer the neutral appearance that gave people the impression of being cowardly, weak and vulnerable as before.

But in another campus report, he was still called a "snitch" by some of his classmates.

Apparently his identity was exposed. However, unlike middle schools, college students are more utilitarian and sober... Because Sheath's grades are very good and he is also an active member of the swordsmanship club, his classmates recognize and accept him. At this time, "whistleblower" became a disparagement for him by people who hated him, and more people were willing to call him "sheath" - such as other classmates in the same club.

Delphinium, which had not obtained the authority issued by the Ministry of Cyber ​​Security, could not directly check his personal chip data. But she checked the hospitals on Happy Island during the same period and found records of Wendy being hospitalized in one of them and undergoing plastic surgery.

He had multiple fractures in his limbs and injuries to his face, so he needed plastic surgery.

An unknown person paid for him, using a credit stick, with a premium of 50%, and there was no fraud.

This is why Delphinium is the best cyber detective on Happy Island despite not having strong hacking skills.

In the past few years, she has been relying on her position to build her own social work library. As long as she needs it, she can slowly find information that can connect the clues from reports in recent decades and all internal records and reports of various units and institutions.

Thanks to the continuous confirmation of these information that ordinary people cannot hold at the same time, Delphinium was able to capture traces of the former "informer" from the "sheath" whose appearance had changed.

"He must have awakened his spiritual power from the time he failed to commit suicide..."

Delphinium murmured.

That is the spiritual power of riding the strong wind and flying freely...but cannot be captured by the "eyes" of the media. It was probably because of that psychic power that he didn't fall to his death.

The man with wings behind him jumped out from the top of the tall building.

At that time, he may not have wanted to die.

But this time, I couldn't fly like I did when I was a child.
