Not praying for ten strings

In a world dominated by seven super-corporations, the Longevity Species that always occupied the pinnacle of power didn't allow for the enactment of written laws. The Floating Islands of prisons delimited by lines on the map, where resources would inevitably run out in the future...
People yearned for the birth of a true "Hero," yet they cynically awaited the fall of a Hero from grace.
As long as one was hailed by the media as a Hero, even murder could be forgiven, and every word they said would be adored. Even high and mighty Elves dared not provoke the edge of a Hero.
But if a Hero of the past committed even a minor offense, the moment their image crumbled, the forgiven sins would flare up like an inextinguishable furnace, and the stars of yesterday would instantly become unforgivable criminals...
"—Come become a Hero, Russell."
The most vicious criminal in the world thrust a knife into the boy's hand, whispering a low enticement.

Tower of Overturn

When Russell had been investigating from different angles, the truths he uncovered were strikingly different:


Initially, after the first round of investigation at Cui Que, she discovered the existence of "Monkey-faced Eagle" and "dust gap".


She first concluded that the Monkey-faced Eagle was not dead, but had been taken away by the Director of Saran. The reason Mental Heavy Industry had sent people to attack Miss Cold Water was to alarm the Emperor.


The Emperor had a good relationship with the board of directors and was quite capable of keeping secrets, so he certainly knew the truth behind the kidnapping case. Thus, for the safety of his daughter, he would go looking for the Monkey-faced Sparrow—whether to help him escape, kill him, or do something else, that would depend on the Emperor's character.
