Owl Detective
No one could know the excitement in Lucy's heart at that time.
That night, some time had passed since the mysterious and dreamy midnight party. While she was in school, she wrote those newspaper stories under the guidance of her mother. Her imagination was overflowing, and she occasionally couldn't distinguish reality, suspecting that the bizarre experience might just be an overly realistic dream she had.
But now the talking owl appears again!
It was still midnight, and the owl still landed on her windowsill. The owl spoke to her in a low, magnetic and distorted voice. Although it felt vaguely different from the last time, this actually highlighted the mystery of the magic owl.
This time, the owl seemed to be asking her for help.
help……?
"Okay, okay! I'm willing to help! I will definitely help!"
After a brief pause, Lucy realized that she had been silent for too long out of surprise. Fearing that the owl might misunderstand her, she quickly responded loudly.
“…Gu.”
For some reason, the owl closed its eyes briefly.
Then, it opened its eyes, nodded to the girl imperceptibly, and then flapped its wings and disappeared into the night.
Lucy opened her mouth.
Eh——
Don't you want to tell her what you want her help with?
The girl was extremely confused. She leaned half of her body out of the window sill, wanting to say something but stopping herself.
But the impression the owl had left on her was so mysterious that she didn't dare shout out loud. She could only stare at the big bird gradually going away in the night and fell into deep thought.
"hiss."
Lucy grabbed her arm, it hurt.
She retreated back into the room, spinning around excitedly, and it took her a long time to calm down.
In any case, what just happened was not an illusion!
The owl was really asking her for help!
As for the specific content, it didn't say, but...
She is grown up now and needs to make her own judgment!
This must be a test from the magic owl, huh!
Not long after this night, Lucy continued to hear about strange things happening in the city.
Inspired by the owl's visit that night, it was natural for her to conceive those plots.
Well, come to think of it, the thing that makes her different from other kids is her writing. If we only ask her for help, it must be about this aspect, right?
She did nothing wrong, did she?
Amidst her trepidation, Lucy also felt extremely happy.
Hehe, Mr. Owl has indeed been keeping an eye on them!
So even if William came to her house, Lucy just thought that he was reminded by the owl, and she was not panicked at all, just having a slight nervousness like handing in homework.
After hearing this, the detective was greatly shocked.
Although they already knew that everything in the city was done by the owl, they didn't expect that the other party had also considered this aspect.
As expected, Mr. Owl knew everything, even the subtle changes in human nature were taken into account.
...So his usual cold and stupid look is probably just because he doesn't want to interact with others!
"Thank you, Lucy."
After sorting out his thoughts a little, William touched the girl's head, relaxed his brows, and said gently: "We are indeed trying to do one thing, and you have helped us a lot. You are really amazing."
"I guessed it! Ahem, but I didn't do anything..."
Faced with the adults' straightforward praise, Lucy avoided the gaze and seemed a little embarrassed.
But she still held back the corners of her mouth that kept rising, pulled the young detective's sleeve, calmed her expression and spoke seriously: "Officer, you must tell Mr. Owl about this. I am also helping. I hope Mr. Owl can succeed."
It was also during the process of collecting materials that Lucy saw how small animals were treated in the city.
She had never paid much attention to them before, probably because she was also busy making a living and didn't care about the lives of other animals.
But she, her family, and many of her neighbors and partners have become much better off because of Owl Detective's efforts to maintain law and order.
Now that she sees this again, she will definitely do something.
So, Lucy wrote that story half out of respect for the owl and half out of her own heart.
"Well, I don't want Mr. Owl to have a bad impression of us."
"Mr. Owl has come to us. He is the representative of animals. We have to behave better."
"What I want to say is that the world will definitely get better and better, whether it's people or animals."
"We own this world together."
"So, Mr. Owl must stay."
Listening, William's eyebrows gradually softened: "Lucy..."
"That way I'll have a better chance of getting admitted! The magic academy! Hehehe!"
The girl muttered this sentence in a murmur. When she heard the young man stop talking abruptly, she looked up in confusion and blinked her eyes: "What's wrong, Officer William?"
William: “…No, nothing.”
He really didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He rubbed the girl's head again and said solemnly: "Don't worry, I will relay these words to Mr. Owl."
“It will be happy.”
From a God’s perspective, what exactly happened that night?
In fact, at that time, the owl was tired of carrying the raven.
Originally, it planned to leave the raven somewhere and catch mice for food itself, but it was too dark and the raven didn't dare to stay alone in a strange place, so it came up with a bad idea and asked the owl to ask humans for food.
The owl hesitated, and the crow began to provoke him -
"Ga ga! Ga!"
There are a lot of human brothers here! What's wrong with eating for free?
“Guga…”
It can't be exaggerated...
So the owl came to Lucy's window.
Everything was going well, and the young human was still looking at the eagle owl with those bright eyes full of respect and love, exactly the same as it had been the night before.
Then the ravens began to call.
Although it spoke human language, no one knows what it said. The backup brother, who was originally silent and holding his breath, suddenly became excited and made loud noises in the middle of the night.
owl:……!
There's no way I'll get anything to eat now!
Slightly embarrassed, it called out a few times pretending to be calm, then turned around and flew away with the raven in its hand.
If anyone could follow the big birds disappearing into the night, they might hear the chirping of two big furry birds on a rooftop a few minutes later:
"Guwu!" Why are you yelling?
"Ga ga..." It's always like this in the tower...
After they finished cursing, they continued to cause minor damage in the city, completely unaware of the consequences of their unintentional actions.
The narrator commented:
“A thing that geniuses do casually can still produce miraculous effects.”
"They have completely taken control of the situation! Success is inevitable!"
After watching the flashback, the audience was amazed.
[This is a coincidence, there is no other! ]
[Hahaha, there's light in Lucy's eyes. Does she think this is a test from the magic owl? ]
[The girl's words were very good. Although I don't know the whole story, her starting point and behavior are perfect! ]
[The story is also very interesting hahahaha. Children in the future will also have a dream about magic and owls. It is a dream connection. ]
[It’s great, I feel like the world is really getting better! ]
All in all, with a series of actions by a few furries behind the scenes, the bill moved forward faster than anyone expected.
Although there are still some voices of opposition, these voices of opposition are insignificant given the atmosphere that is looming over the entire society.
In the end, both houses of Parliament passed Charles' bill, and the relevant regulations on animal protection were officially implemented into law.
Although the scope and content stipulated therein are not yet comprehensive enough, it is already a revolutionary progress.
And the very next day after the bill was announced, all the ravens in the Tower of London returned to the Raven's Garden.
They showed no physical or mental damage, appeared to be in exceptionally good health, and even had improved their ability to fly.
The royal family was delighted with this and strongly supported the new bill with an extremely tough attitude.
With so many coincidences, no one raised any objections.
Otherwise, something really bad will happen.
As the bill is implemented——
That night, the owl met with the ravens in the crow garden after a long absence. The black cat ran in from outside and brought good news.
“Meow!”
The bad guy was caught meow!
The cat ran around the yard excitedly, its eyes sparkling in the dark as bright as gems.
It jumped onto the highest stone and shared its joy and excitement with its companions.
Those people who scared cats the most were abducted today by men in uniforms and tall hats, meow!
They killed so many cats and finally got punished, meow!
The black cat sharpened its claws on the stone and meowed in excitement, unable to suppress it.
Finally they won't be killed casually!
Meow! Life is getting better!
A few crows cackled on the ground out of respect, and began to actively share how nice humans' attitude was after their return. They didn't even touch their wings, but only eagerly lured them with food and new toys.
Sweet, sweet life.
Maybe they will be able to fly again later!
"Goo-goo."
The owl stood on the shelf, watching the other animals making noise in the yard. For the first time, it did not get angry because of the noise.
Overall, it's a good thing.
It won't ruin the atmosphere.
Towards morning, the owl returned home.
It flew low, passing over several streets in the city, and saw animals that had been cowering in fear tentatively coming out of the dark corners because of the events of the past few days.
Now, in the sun, they will be much safer.
This is just the beginning.
It is obvious to the naked eye that the future will get better and better.
"Mr. Owl."
The young detective greeted his detective at the window sill. William was in high spirits these days because the plan with his friends was successfully carried out.
After grooming and feeding the owl that had been running around all night, William seemed to have thought of something and spoke softly to the sleepy owl:
"By the way, Mr. Owl, do you remember Lucy? She asked me to talk to you."
"No matter what, the world will get better and better..."
As he spoke, William began to mix in some of his own selfish thoughts.
"So, please stay, stay in this world."
"I also hope that I will always have the honor of being your partner."
Before, William didn’t dare to say it, but now that he has really done something, he finally has the confidence to ask.
Coo coo...
The owl opened its eyes and looked at the human quietly. Suddenly, it leaned forward and bit his finger, then gently pulled the human towards itself.
This is a very rare act of intimacy.
After that, the detective mercifully allowed humans to stroke its head, flatten its ear tufts, and put their fingers into its hairy chest, among other things.
"Goooooo!"
When it felt it was about time, the owl turned its back on William and fanned his shoulders with its wings, signaling him to close the window.
Gwo, are you done with the consolation?
The detective needs to sleep to replenish his energy!
And William had already gotten the answer he wanted from the owl's reaction.
He was somewhat incoherent.
"Ah! Thank you Mr. Owl!"
"I won't betray your trust!"
"I'm really excited, I didn't think I could... Ouch!"
The room was quiet for a moment. The young man rubbed his red nose and closed the window.
"Well, even after becoming a true partner, Mr. Owl is still very fierce..."
"Goooooo!"
“I don’t mean to be dissatisfied, I just feel that it is a little unreal, ahem, but after taking a bite, it suddenly feels very real, haha.”
"Goooooo!"
"Haha, anyway, good night, Mr. Owl."
"Gu."
In the darkness, the pair closed their eyes almost at the same time.
After waking up, it's a whole new world.
Afterwards, the stray black cats in the city were adopted by the flower-selling couple, various animal fighting activities were gradually cancelled, and the ravens in the Tower of London grew new wings.
Even William's public security proposal, which he had already given up hope on, was regulated in the new rules, with additional personnel and upgraded equipment.
Just as Lucy said, the future of both humans and animals is getting better.
Occasionally, on the streets of the East District at night, detective partners would still patrol at night to maintain law and order.
The mysterious Owl Detective will stay on the shoulder of the young detective, accompany him to solve the case, and occasionally give him some inspiration to point out the way.
In a foggy period, they brought rare light and also led to the emergence of more similar combinations.
Such legendary events may still be remembered by people hundreds of years later.
Well, for example, Lucy, who had just finished serializing The Magic Owl, had already started to target them.
As for whether future generations believe these stories or not...
Humph.
You have to believe it even if you don’t believe it!
As long as it's furry, what's unreasonable?
-end-
Oh oh oh oh, it’s finished, it’s finished!
I'll be holding a lucky draw these days to thank everyone who's been following me. I'll be posting more stories after the prizes are drawn~
