Society, you crow brother
Many tourists came to the city during this period.
Most of them were attracted by the promotional video recorded by the protagonist Crow.
This city itself enjoys a good reputation for its pet-friendly atmosphere. Now there is a smart police bird that is suspected to be officially certified. It not only helps the police but also interacts with the public. This is so interesting that we have to join in the fun.
Shen Yi is one of them.
From the station to the hotel, there seemed to be those handsome big black birds everywhere along the way. When they saw a stranger like Shen Yi, they would always take an extra look at her, with their round eyes looking very serious, as if they were assessing her dangerousness.
Just like the police.
After dropping off her luggage at the hotel, she headed straight for the residential park, which was said to be the crows' base camp, based on online recommendations.
Of course, ordinary tourists cannot enter, but she has a friend living there, so she was let in smoothly.
Yu Man, who came to pick her up, smiled and took her arm as they walked in. "Come on, I've argued with you online for so long and still couldn't convince you, this time I'll let you witness with your own eyes that there is no way to argue!"
Is there no way to argue?
Don't believe it.
Shen Yi was skeptical about this.
A large part of the reason is the video's superficial description of the crows.
Well, she admitted that the crow in the camera was indeed very handsome, and his voice was deep and attractive when he spoke, so handsome that people could feel weak in the knees.
...But the rest of the content is so fake!
She couldn't see it in the control group, so why could this raven see it? !
There must be some food that the raven likes behind the correct answer to induce it to choose it. It is really sad that the local police, as an authoritative agency, engage in such false propaganda!
So she is here to expose fakes, huh.
The two arrived at the park soon.
"Someone maliciously fed the crows before, so now they are very cautious and only eat food from special feeding points in the city. If you want to feed them, you need to contact the police." Yu Man introduced patiently, "But it should be okay to touch them, as long as you are friendly."
Shen Yi silently looked at the ravens playing on the lawn, and said seriously: "I don't believe it. What animal can refuse free food?"
Yu Man: ...
Are you going to show your true nature as an internet nitpicker again?
If it were still an online chat, she would definitely try to argue, but now, she just shrugged: "Okay, you can try."
After thinking for a while, she kindly reminded them: "If they don't want to eat you, don't bother them. Be careful of being targeted by the crow boss."
"I know, I know."
Shen Yi didn't know what the Crow Boss meant in the crow group. He just responded vaguely, then took out the prepared peanuts and walked towards a lone crow not far away.
She carefully sat on the table where the lone crow was, and tentatively moved closer to it.
Lone Crow: Huh?
Come to life.
The crows had long been accustomed to being close to humans, so they were not at all scared when they saw this. They just stopped pecking at the branches and silently raised their heads waiting for the upcoming touch.
I don’t know how skilled this biped is.
As it was thinking about it, there was no extra hand on its body, but instead there was a palm with a few peanuts in front of it.
Lone Crow:!
Feed without touching? ?
The boss said this scene!
Ya Ya's alarm bells rang!
"Why don't you eat it..." The girl muttered, and moved her hand forward. "Don't you like peanuts?"
Lone Crow: ...
I declined.
It pushed the human's hand away with its sharp beak and silently took a few steps back to express its silent rejection.
Shen Yi was a little surprised and thought that the raven was not hungry, so he looked around and changed his target to a lone crow.
Former target crow: ...
Something is wrong! Something is very wrong!
Seeing that this guy was still trying to find another crow to attack, it made a prompt decision and called out to the boss and his companions at the top of its voice:
"Ga ga! Ga!"
As soon as Shen Yi turned around, she was startled by a sharp cry behind her, but before she could look back to see what was happening, a large group of ravens flew over and surrounded her.
Shen Yi: ...
Oh shit.
Are you touched?
Don't dare to move...
At this moment, she felt quite helpless as if she was surrounded by the gangster boss and his minions.
The crows were talking in a voice she could not understand:
"Ga ga?" What happened?
"Gah! Gah!" Boss! This two-legged beast forced me to eat her food!
"Haha, haha." Suspicious, very suspicious.
The crows raised their heads and stared at the humans they surrounded with suspicion.
Although he didn't understand, Shen Yi was extremely panicked.
No way!
She thought the raven would just not eat the food, so what's going on now?
Ahhh Manman help me...
Receiving her friend's pleading gaze, Yu Man calmly threw the marble in her hand to the dog to pick up, and said only one sentence: "You will be fine if you eat the food. They suspect you have poisoned them."
Shen Yi: ...
No way, do ravens have this reasoning ability?
She was a little bit skeptical, but the situation left her with no choice but to try to swallow the peanuts in her hand.
The crows were in a commotion for a moment:
Oh, eat it by yourself.
That’s okay, let’s go our separate ways.
Damn, is it fun to scare crows?
They all scattered, and only the protagonist crow followed Shen Yi not too far away.
Yu Man smiled: "You are still being targeted by Boss Crow."
Shen Yi's original arrogance was reduced by half: "...It won't come to bother me, right?"
Yu Man: "No way, Boss Crow is a good crow who abides by the law."
She waved her hand, and the protagonist Crow, who was already very familiar to her, flew onto her legs and enjoyed the human neck massage very naturally.
"Guji."
“Oh.”
With his eyes half-closed, Yaya behaved like a dog that liked to be petted, and made vague humming sounds from time to time.
Shen Yi:!
Greatly shocked.
"People in the community are familiar with them, so they can do this. You, a stranger, can forget about it."
Yu Man smiled and slapped away her friend's eager hands. Seeing that the time was right, she finally did some serious science popularization:
"Honestly, you were in danger just now. You almost ended up on the Crows' blacklist."
"You know, the last person who was blacklisted is probably still being harassed by the crows this time. He didn't dare to go out for three or four months."
Shen Yi scratched his head. "This is the first time I've met them. Who knew they would be so alert... Didn't the information say that the crows remember the scene of their companions' death?"
"That's what's different about these ravens. They can draw inferences from one instance, so you know, those stories about the crows warning of crimes based on real-life video footage are real."
Shen Yi: ...
Mom, why is she being an outsider when she is so smart? Just take the postgraduate entrance examination for her.
Although the impression has changed, the argumentative nature is still there, so Shen Yi said unconvincedly: "Being too smart is not a good thing, I almost got hurt by mistake when feeding something. Isn't it easy to offend people in a flock of crows?"
That's what should be said.
Overly intelligent birds living in cities are bound to come into conflict with humans.
Some sensitive birds will even hold grudges against electric vehicles because they were frightened by them while building nests and incubating eggs, let alone the humans who come and go?
But the experts Fu Chen invited solved this potential problem.
I don’t know how the expert communicated with the protagonist Crow. If there is a conflict between man and Crow later, we just need to go to the public security bureau for a confrontation, and the party in the wrong just needs to apologize sincerely.
I don’t understand how Yaya could figure out such a rule of survival in human society. Anyway, once such rules were publicized, the last bit of worry in the hearts of the locals disappeared.
Although they understood that the poisoner had himself to blame for the retaliation by the crows, seeing the dozen or so crows surrounding and attacking him, they were also worried about what would happen if they were misunderstood and attacked in the same way.
Now, the crows are very sensible.
Once something happens, they will use various methods to remind the parties involved to go to the police station for a confrontation with them. They will only start attacking if several reminders fail.
In most cases, humans are at fault, but don't worry, crows are easy to appease, and some delicious peanuts and nuts can make them forgive generously. Some people even take this as an opportunity to become cross-species friends with the crow in question.
Nowadays, there are local people who deliberately scare the crows in a way that does not really hurt them in order to make friends with them, making the crows immune to this. Human nature is really vicious.
Shen Yi: “…”
Shen Yi: "Wait a minute, your city has evolved secretly without the knowledge of other cities, right? Are there some people who can understand bird language..."
Yu Man spread her hands: "Look! What did I say? Isn't it incredible? But that's it."
Rubbing the protagonist crow's fluffy and soft fur, she smiled and said, "It's all thanks to this crow boss. It's so smart."
"Let me tell you, before..."
Protagonist Crow: Huh?
It seems like you were praised?
Not sure, listen again.
After observing for a while, it felt that the two-legged beast opposite should not have any bad intentions and temporarily removed it from the list of suspects.
...But, what's with the look in the eyes of the two-legged beast opposite?
How dare you stare at Ya Ya with such a questioning look? How disrespectful!
"Well, anyway, I don't think it's as good as you say."
Shen Yi was still being stubborn, but these words shocked the protagonist Crow.
Damn, are there still some two-legged beasts that haven’t been tamed?
There are new challenges everywhere!
It learned its lesson and decided to fly away.
After flying away, the protagonist Crow and his brothers continued to play swords and games as usual, and before they knew it, it was night.
It found a random feeding spot and ate until its belly was full. It was too lazy to fly, so it turned into a free-range chicken and walked slowly on the ground. It ran into Shen Yi, whom it had just met in the morning.
Remembering the two-legged beast's disdainful remarks towards the crows, the protagonist Crow became eager to conquer her and deliberately followed her for a while.

Shen Yi: ...
Seeing the big black bird behind her through the rearview mirror of a roadside car, she felt mixed emotions.
Who would understand? Being followed by a crow makes me want to laugh.
The funny feeling lasted only a few seconds. When she saw a few drunks approaching from a distance, her face suddenly turned bad and she subconsciously turned around and left.
Don’t ask, because if you ask I just have a bad feeling.
Protagonist Crow:!
What happened? Has its sophisticated tracking technology been cracked?!
“Beep, beep—”
Jumping back in panic, the protagonist Crow subconsciously used the initial siren sound to try to scare people.
Shen Yi opened her eyes wide.
Is this... is it helping?
She had thought it was nonsense when she had heard that ravens could imitate police sirens to help people scare off potential criminals, but now that she had experienced it herself, she knew how shocking and moving that moment was.
A few people in the distance turned a corner. I don’t know if they were originally taking that road or they took a detour when they discovered the presence of ravens.
In this city, the ravens don't even need to imitate the sound of police sirens. They just need to stand on high ground and witness the scene, and the prisoners present will be nervous.
Even if the raven does not call the police, it will remember the faces of everyone present and then lead the police into the criminal's home and arrest him the next day.
This is much scarier than surveillance.
When Raven cooperated with the police, not only vicious incidents but even slightly intense conflicts became less frequent.
Shen Yi is not clear about the specific details.
She only knew that when the atmosphere became tense, the big bird behind her helped her.
Walking alone on the streets of a strange city late at night, with a crow following behind her that could sound the alarm, as if it was escorting her. Who could understand this feeling?
Okay, she gave up.
Who can resist this? She admitted that these crows were indeed very charming!
Woohoo I really want to touch it. I've been craving it since this morning. Now it smells so good, can I stop pretending?!
Shen Yi stopped and turned around. The big bird that had been following her immediately pretended nothing had happened and turned to look at the scenery.
It's always like this no matter how many times I turn it, it's like playing "status".
So cute!!
Once the impression changed, Shen Yi found the raven cute no matter how she looked at it, so she cautiously took a few steps closer and used the excuse from the morning to communicate with the raven: "I'm sorry for scaring you this morning."
"It's my fault. I doubted you guys were that smart at first, but now I've changed my mind. You guys have done so many things. You're amazing."
"How about reconciliation? I also want a raven friend. What color of glitter do you like? I can buy it for you."
Protagonist Crow: ...
Protagonist Crow: Ga!
The cunning two-legged beast!!
Crow, who had no idea of the specific thoughts of humans, was shocked by the two faces of humans in such a short period of time and felt deeply deceived.
It thought it would require careful planning to capture new bipeds!
Very nervous!
"quack."
However, after making sure that no one could refuse Yaya, it became happy again and reluctantly forgave the unreasonableness of humans during the day. At Shen Yi's earnest invitation, it walked onto her shoulders, humming the siren song and accompanying her back to the hotel.
Okay okay.
No two-legged creature can resist the charm of Crow, there's nothing that can be done about it.
Then it will reluctantly try to win the heart of another two-legged beast.
Ga.
