Witch Special
Chapter 2: Sobbing in the Park
After returning home, Lin Zhenxi took off her sneakers at the door and took them off as she walked. By the time she returned to her bedroom, she had turned into the most primitive posture of a human being.
The sweat-soaked clothes flew to the washing machine by themselves. According to the programmed program, they would be washed and dried by the time Lin Zhenxi got home from get off work. Although using magic might be faster, the appliances you buy have to be useful, right?
"Maki, no matter what, girls shouldn't just take off all their clothes casually, meow." The black cat covered his round face with one paw and said helplessly.
Lin Zhenxi turned around and said nonchalantly, "This is my home. I can do whatever I want. No one else can interfere, not even the cat at home."
"But……"
"There's not so much buts. Instead of nagging me, why don't you help me find clothes to wear to work." After saying that, Lin Zhenxi grabbed her underwear and panties for work, one in each hand, and walked straight into the bathroom.
The black cat knew that it was useless to say anything to Lin Zhenxi now, because Lin Zhenxi was about to take a shower and go to work. If it started looking for trouble at this time, it would definitely be grabbed by the scruff of the neck and thrown out the window.
With a long sigh, the black cat opened the wardrobe beside him and went in. A few minutes later, when Lin Zhenxi opened the bathroom door in a fresh outfit wearing her two most fitting clothes, the black cat had already placed the clothes and shoes that Lin Zhenxi needed to wear to work neatly on the bed and at the door.
A white shirt, pencil pants, and a pair of canvas flat shoes.
"Thank you for your help, Yanyan!" Lin Zhenxi grabbed the clothes and quickly put them on herself.
The troubles women face before going out aren't just about dressing. Going out bare-faced isn't just about being self-deprecating, it also shows disrespect to those around you. Even if Lin Zhenxi is the type of girl who can simply tie her hair into a ponytail and go out, she'll at least apply some face cream before going to work and fix her hair in the mirror, tucking down any sticky hair.
But when she was doing the last step, Lin Zhenxi found that there was a tuft of long hair on her head that seemed particularly stubborn. No matter how she combed it with a comb, those hairs just refused to bend.
The cuteness of her aho-mane hair conflicts with her personality.
Seeing that it was almost eight o'clock, Lin Zhenxi decided not to continue this futile effort.
"Wand fly here." With a casual wave of her hand behind her, the small wooden stick on the living room table flew across two rooms and landed steadily in Lin Zhenxi's palm. She pointed the wand at the small tuft of hair on her head in the mirror.
A glimmer of light flashed by, and Lin Zhenxi's hairstyle suddenly became neat. She looked at herself in the mirror and nodded in satisfaction. This was now proper.
Her long chestnut hair was tied into a ponytail with a hair tie. The woman in the mirror gazed softly at Lin Zhenxi with her dark eyes. She wore a simple long-sleeved white shirt, the hem tucked into the waistband of her pencil pants, a simple yet sophisticated look.
You can tell at a glance that this is an urban beauty who has already started working, not a grown-up child who is still in school.
"Not bad." Lin Zhenxi shook the ponytail behind her head and turned away.
The wand in his hand automatically transformed into a bracelet and was placed on Lin Zhenxi's wrist. When Lin Zhenxi passed by the living room, the black cat also transformed into a large black hardcover book in mid-air, then quickly shrank into a pendant strung on a silver wire, flew to Lin Zhenxi's neck and tied a knot.
After bringing her own food, Lin Zhenxi changed her shoes at the entrance, tapped the toes of her shoes on the carpet, pushed open the door and walked out.
"I'm going out!" She said softly to the empty room before leaving.
--------------
New Blue City was enormous. After all, it was the first city on Earth to accommodate aliens, housing nearly 30% of the planet's alien population. To dilute this population and allow for an orderly integration of aliens into human society, rather than allowing them to clumsily become a threat, the government of their home country also sent a proportional number of people to New Blue City. Multiplying these two factors, New Blue City's population exploded.
Emerging cities are always the most alluring. They're at the forefront of the times, offering countless opportunities, and naturally attract countless talented individuals, as well as those simply seeking a living. Our protagonist is an ordinary, low-level employee at a nameless company in this city.
The company, of course, had employee dormitories, and Lin Zhenxi lived there for several years. However, she still disliked the constant presence of people she knew, finding the constant flow of socializing inconvenient and leaving her with less personal space. So, as her work began to improve and her savings began to accumulate, Lin Zhenxi moved out of the company dormitories and settled into her current house.
The reason for saying this is that Lin Zhenxi doesn't like running into her colleagues after get off work, so her current residence is quite a distance from the company. Every day, Lin Zhenxi leaves home at around 8 o'clock and it takes more than half an hour to walk to the company.
Well, a half-hour walk wasn't that far. If it weren't for the fact that the shortcut required crossing a huge city green park, Lin Zhenxi would have really wanted to buy herself a car, even a bicycle.
Just think of it as a walk. Her job is pretty easy anyway, so she doesn't have to worry about overtime. If she gets off work on time every day, she only spends an hour commuting. This is probably a dream schedule in the eyes of her peers.
Today, Lin Zhenxi, like everyone else, walked through a green urban area larger than the park where she'd been doing her morning exercises. New Blue City was built to accommodate aliens, many of whom are animal-like. While these aliens possess intelligence and can communicate with humans, it's unrealistic to expect them to adapt to a human environment. After all, while they possess animal bodies, they aren't captive creatures; they possess intelligence on par with humans. To provide a living space for these animal-like aliens, New Blue City constructed numerous forest-like environments from its inception. This not only improves the surrounding environment but also provides a familiar space for the newly arrived animal-like aliens.
Of course, that was only the initial goal. Ten years later, humans had mastered the art of interacting with aliens. Those aliens no longer needed to live in artificial forests, but now had their own communities. The vast parks that once served as homes for the aliens had been transformed into New Blue City's unique urban landscape, earning it the nickname "Green City" and boasting the world's highest urban greening rate.
Well, this also forces office workers whose way to work is blocked by the huge park to walk through this long park. Otherwise, they will have to endure the morning and evening rush hours and take a detour of more than ten kilometers, which is actually slower than walking.
After all, she was in a hurry to get to work, so Lin Zhenxi walked briskly. Standing 1.72 meters tall, Lin Zhenxi possessed legs that were far longer than most of her compatriots. She chose trousers over skirts for her daily attire, not only for ease of movement, but also because she needed to walk through the woods every day, and it would be troublesome if her skirt got caught on the branches growing along the path.
Lin Zhenxi had walked this path through the park for several years and was very familiar with it. But today, as she passed by a small forest, she vaguely heard some unusual sounds.
Although I couldn't hear it clearly, but... vaguely, why did I feel like someone was crying?
Lin Zhenxi looked up at the scattered sunlight above her head that was blocked by the dense treetops and squinted her eyes.
Even though it was broad daylight, it was still quite creepy to suddenly see this on a deserted forest path. If it were an ordinary, or normal girl, the general choice would probably be to speed up and leave, right?
But, she, Lin Zhenxi, is not an ordinary girl!
"Hey, if it was an emergency, the company shouldn't count me as late."
"Just think of it as doing good things for the good people."
Lin Zhenxi waved her hand, and the black ring on her wrist unlocked, transforming into a magic wand that automatically fell into her palm. She gripped the wand tightly with her slender fingers, feeling the magic power within her surge with the wand's amplification. She smiled confidently, raised the wand in her hand, and pointed it at the bushes beside the path.
"Shattered to pieces."
A laser shot out from the tip of the magic wand, and all the trees that were swept through were shattered into pieces, with wood chips flying all over the sky, and a wide path was cleared in the dense forest.
The faint crying sound coming from the forest suddenly stopped.
"Come on, let me see what it is."
Lin Zhenxi walked along a path plowed by her own spell, leaving fresh dirt, and unexpectedly came upon a small amusement park hidden in the woods. However, judging by the moss climbing up the outer walls of the slide and the vines entwined around the railings of the swivel chair, it was obvious that the place had been abandoned for countless years.
It was probably designed for foreigners. As foreigners moved away from this urban green space and settled in their own communities, this place was forgotten.
Lin Zhenxi's eyes casually swept over these old amusement facilities, finally landing on the back of the slide. There, a striped tail that had not been hidden in time was trembling nervously.
"Come out, I see you." As soon as Lin Zhenxi finished speaking, she saw that all the hair on the tail stood up.
It seemed like he was frightened.
