Witch Special

Of course, safety and insecurity are relative terms. Lin Zhenxi didn't mind places that were unsafe for ordinary people, simply wading through them. While the "Company" had a rule prohibiting special envoys from displaying their powers in the main world, it wasn't absolute. If someone attempted to harm a special envoy, they were allowed to use their extraordinary powers. Furthermore, the "Company" would intervene to block information and ensure that the incident wouldn't significantly impact society.

In general, special envoys are truly privileged individuals. They are subject to restrictions, but this does not mean that they have become ordinary people. When necessary, they are allowed to sanction those who offend them.

While Lin Zhenxi was stroking the cat with one hand and swiping his personal terminal with the other to see what the special features of the store were, the hovercraft had already passed a checkpoint and entered the New Blue City, which had an architectural style completely different from the urban area where Lin Zhenxi usually lived.

This is the "K Zone" of Xinlan City.

Outside of "Zone K," New Blue City is a remarkably clean and beautiful futuristic new city, its streets and buildings meticulously planned, imbued with a sense of orderly beauty and a harmonious and friendly atmosphere. Once inside "Zone K," a strong sense of freedom and wildness washes over you.

All the buildings here are crooked, as if they could collapse at any moment. Of course, this is just an illusion, because the development of materials science has made it possible to build buildings that are not only tilted, but even if they are erected with only a single pillar, they can still meet the stability standards.

Of course, the buildings couldn't be very tall. Indeed, there were few buildings in District K higher than ten stories, with the tallest being only seven or eight stories. Compared to buildings in other parts of New Blue City, this height was definitely considered low and inefficient.

Almost all of those crooked, strange, and seemingly arbitrary buildings are covered with various billboards, and the styles of those billboards are also very free and unrestrained, including neon embossed letters, hanging wall banners, cabinet hangings, and everything else.

Some billboards are even loose, swinging back and forth in the wind, which looks dangerous, but no one cares. This is definitely a scene that can only be seen in "Zone K", because in other places, all billboards are very standardized and are regularly cleaned and maintained by robots.

The New Blue City government has granted "Zone K" considerable autonomy. As long as the foreigners don't fight or declare independence, New Blue City won't interfere with their actions. However, this freedom comes at a heavy price: a lack of public services. Aside from road maintenance, which remains the responsibility of New Blue City, and urban transportation links to other districts, "Zone K" is entirely managed by the foreigners themselves.

Apart from not being able to harm humans, all human laws and regulations are ineffective here because there is no institution to ensure that the laws are effective.

To put it bluntly, in "Area K", except for killing humans, doing anything is not illegal because there are no laws here at all.

Aside from the law and the violent institutions that ensure its effective enforcement, the Health Bureau, Tax Bureau, Housing Authority, Industry and Commerce Bureau, and Education Bureau—all the official institutions that ensure the normal functioning of society—also do not exist in "Zone K." Here, a completely different order, completely different from the outside world, exists: an order maintained spontaneously by the "clan."

Some outsiders enjoy this unfettered freedom, while others find the lawless, chaotic atmosphere unbearable. The answer is simple: as long as you can survive the checkpoints at the border of "Zone K" and pass through them to leave, New Blue City will provide you with personal protection. However, this also means you must accept the management of the city government and the constraints of civilization, forgoing the lawless, free-to-do lifestyle of "Zone K."

While Area K may be lawless, it does maintain order, for without it, life is impossible. Since aliens who refuse to be governed by humans live here, they naturally seek to establish a structure suitable for their own survival. These aliens spontaneously band together to form "clans," replacing legal regulations with "clan rules" within their own territories, establishing the order of Area K.

Now that even clans have emerged, wouldn't it be boring if they didn't fight for territory? Where clans meet is the most chaotic area of ​​"Zone K," where the vast majority of homicides and assaults occur. Under the guise of clan fighting, extortion, organ trafficking, human trafficking, and the manufacture and distribution of illegal drugs are all commonplace.

In reality, the situation in "Zone K" is the norm in this world. With the influx of aliens, human order is already in jeopardy. This is especially true after other nations, following China's successful example of establishing New Blue City, gathered a large number of aliens. These aliens, completely disregarding human law, quickly formed "Zone K" after "Zone K" within the cities humans built for them, and humanity had no effective solution to this situation.

After all, we can't just kill them all, right? Aliens are still useful. If we kill a large number of aliens who violate human laws, it is very likely to arouse the hatred of all aliens in the country. This is no joke.

Furthermore, there are only a handful of countries capable of coordinating and managing foreigners with the power of a nation as powerful as China. Many countries are already rotten themselves, so how can we expect them to strictly enforce the laws on foreigners? It's simply impossible to manage them, right? So, why not just go along with the rest of us? After all, when it comes to being rotten, those Aryans, Germans, Caucasians, Slavs, and chimpanzees have never lost to anyone.

If you were to travel to a wasteland, probably only people from a very limited number of countries would try to re-establish order.

Now that we've covered the downsides of "Zone K," let's move on to some of the more interesting aspects. First and foremost, of course, there are the aliens! There are so many of them, it's completely different from the outside world. Outside, walking down the street, you'd occasionally run into aliens; while they're not uncommon, they're still mostly humans. But in "Zone K," the entire street was completely filled with aliens, and Lin Zhenxi couldn't spot a single human.

Human-like aliens are quite ostracized in Area K. Indeed, aliens are not allowed to attack humans, at least not to kill them. However, if a human were to seek death in Area K, even if they were harmed, New Blue City would not hold the alien responsible; as long as they survived, it was fine.

Knowing this is an alien zone, yet still being so careless, one must always be responsible for their own willful behavior. Anyway, New Blue City's medical technology is very advanced, and there are almost no diseases that cannot be cured as long as money is spent. Besides, aliens wouldn't actually inflict fatal injuries on humans. That would only anger the real administrators of New Blue City and harm the interests of the entire alien community.

However, aliens who look like humans are not protected by the laws of New Blue City. Many aliens living in "Zone K" are unhappy about the fact that humans dominate them. They can't do anything to humans, so why can't they do anything to you guys who look like humans?

Therefore, aliens who look no different from humans will almost never choose to live in "Area K". If you really meet someone who looks like a human in "Area K", either he is really a human or a human-type alien with some tricks up his sleeve. In any case, he is not an easy target.

As for how to determine whether the target is a naive human being who has come to accept society's punishment or an alien with a lot of tricks up his sleeve? Send a petty thief to test the waters and you'll find out.

Anyway, when Lin Zhenxi stepped out of the hovercraft, her human appearance immediately attracted the attention of all the foreigners on the street. Lin Zhenxi felt dozens of pairs of eyes looking at her in an instant. This feeling of becoming the focus of everyone's attention in an instant was actually quite subtle.

However, given Lin Zhenxi's mental fortitude, she certainly wouldn't be timid over such a small matter. She completely ignored the gazes, used her personal terminal to compare locations, and then locked her sights on a barbecue restaurant on the street, where even the sign above the storefront was tilted.

"Cheliton BBQ Restaurant, yes, it's right here." After confirming the name of the barbecue restaurant, Lin Zhenxi nodded to himself and walked in.

For some reason, when they saw Lin Zhenxi walk into the barbecue restaurant, the eyes that were originally paying attention to her suddenly decreased by about 80%, leaving only a few pairs of eyes still staring at her, until her back completely disappeared behind the glass door of the barbecue restaurant.

Lin Zhenxi strolled through the barbecue restaurant, which was filled with the aroma of various cooked meats, and looked curiously at the various foreign customers and employees in the store. Of course, those foreigners also looked at her with strange eyes. After all, there were too few humans coming to this place.

At this time, a snow-white human-shaped rabbit walked towards Lin Zhenxi. Judging from her clothes, she should be a waitress in the store.

"Hello, are you alone? Also, do you need me to take you to a private room?" She spoke standard Chinese, and her voice was unexpectedly sweet.

As for the aliens, some could speak, some couldn't. There was no need to delve into how a rabbit could speak. The rabbit girl before her was even less beastly than the aliens. Aside from her head and fur, her body and limbs were almost human.
