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...

It should be said that these two, both being from the Canine prone-spiritual, had such resonant voices that they made Russell's head buzz and his ears almost explode... as if Teacher Zhong had struck him with a hammer.


Russell huddled in the back seat of the car, rubbing his ears, and couldn't help but complain, "I rarely see you this worked up normally..."
