Witch Special

Lin Zhenxi came here to eat skewers, not to cause trouble. Knowing that the locals didn't have a good impression of him, Lin Zhenxi naturally didn't need to stay in the hall and get along with those foreigners.

So Lin Zhenxi nodded and said, "It's just me, thank you for your help."

"Okay, please follow me." The rabbit-girl waitress led Lin Zhenxi directly to the second floor and came to the innermost room.

There was a sign hanging on the door frame of this private room with the number 701 engraved on it.

It's strange that the numbers on the signs of the private rooms on the second floor are not consecutive. Maybe each one has its own unique meaning.

After being ushered into the private room, Lin Zhenxi discovered that instead of a large table in the middle like a typical restaurant, there were six smaller tables, each used individually, leaving the middle empty. Judging by the grease stains on the floor, which hadn't been removed despite diligent scrubbing, the empty space in the middle was probably where the food was placed.

"Please sit down. I'll get you a menu." The rabbit-girl waitress said that and turned to leave. Lin Zhenxi put the black cat on one of the empty seats and sat down on a chair behind another small table.

The bunny girl returned quickly, holding a plastic-wrapped menu. Lin Zhenxi took the menu and saw something very puzzling.

"Well, why is quail the cheapest? Pigeon is cheaper than chicken? I can understand that beef is expensive, but why is pork more expensive than mutton?" Lin Zhenxi turned around and pointed at the names of the meat on the menu and asked.

Moreover, the price was too high. Lin Zhenxi had never seen barbecue sold for tens of thousands of yuan. Could this shop be a scam? How could a scam shop get so many positive reviews on food review websites?

"Sir, this is your first time in our shop, right? Many new customers have the same question." The bunny girl blinked her round, watery eyes and explained, "We don't have any refrigerated meat in our shop. All our ingredients are killed to order. You can only order a whole animal at a time. If you can't finish it, you can take it away, but you can't order just part of the animal."

Ah, all of them are alive, and only sold whole? This rule does sound pretty awesome.

This makes sense. If the price is related to the body size, then the price is indeed quite normal.

But this way, Lin Zhenxi would have fewer choices. She couldn't order a whole roasted pig by herself, right?

However, Lin Zhenxi soon noticed that there was also the option of roast suckling pig, the price of which was much more normal than other large meat livestock.

"Well, then I want two grilled soles, a roast suckling pig, and... well, a pot of sand-baked goat's milk. That's all."

"Okay. But sir, all the barbecue in our restaurant is freshly slaughtered and grilled in the kitchen. Since you didn't make a reservation in advance, the waiting time may be longer. Please forgive me." Rabbit Girl took back the menu and apologized to Lin Zhenxi.

What could Lin Zhenxi say? It was her fault for only looking at the review rankings and not the specific situation of the store.

"It's okay, I can wait."

"Okay, how about I turn on the TV for you, sir? You can't watch many of our programs outside." The rabbit girl took out a remote control from her pocket and asked.

"Oh, sure, thank you." Lin Zhenxi then noticed that there was a projector embedded in the wall in the corner of the room.

The bunny girl turned on the TV in the room and walked towards the door with the menu. But before leaving the room, she stopped and turned to Lin Zhenxi, saying, "Guest, if you need to go to the restroom, please notify me in advance. If it's not necessary, please do not leave the room. Before leaving, it's best to call a hovercar in advance. In short, don't hang around in the K area at this time; it's not safe here."

"Oh? Has anything happened here recently?" Lin Zhenxi subconsciously felt that there might be a story behind this.

The bunny girl first stuck her head out the door and looked into the corridor. After confirming that no one was outside, she closed the door and said to Lin Zhenxi, "Recently, monsters have appeared in the city that indiscriminately attack passers-by. Because those attacked by them all lose all their blood, and the attacks only occur at night, some people call these attackers vampires."

"So far, no criminals have been caught, so everyone is feeling uneasy and trying to avoid going out at night, especially not going to the alleys outside the streets alone. Most of the bodies that have been drained of blood are found in those places."

"So, guests, if you are just here to eat, please leave Area K as soon as you are done."

After giving these advices, the rabbit girl left the room, leaving Lin Zhenxi sitting alone in a chair, deep in thought.

It seems that "Zone K", which is outside the jurisdiction of the municipal government, is experiencing a crisis of its own.

However, these should have little to do with Lin Zhenxi. She just came here to eat barbecue. She couldn't be so unlucky that she would encounter any incident just by coming here, right?

At this time, the projection TV had been turned on, and a clear three-dimensional image appeared in the center of the room. What was being broadcast seemed to be an interview program.

However, the programs here do have a distinct "K Zone" feel, as both the guests and the host are all highly beastified beings from other worlds. To Lin Zhenxi's sensibility, the host is a female duck, while the guest is a seemingly angry buffalo, only this buffalo is wearing a police uniform.

Well, although there are no formal police, there are still people maintaining law and order in "Zone K". Those people will also wear police uniforms and dress themselves up like police officers. However, these "police" are actually all appointed by the clans themselves and cannot represent the official.

What is being broadcast on the show now is an interview about the so-called "vampire".

In the TV show, the buffalo police officer first condemned the atrocities of the "vampires" with righteous indignation, and then changed the subject, saying that they had obtained some clues and were following those clues. They believed that those hateful criminals would be arrested soon.

At this time, the Duck host asked Officer Buffalo why he was so confident. Officer Buffalo said that it was because they had received help from a master.

"Ah, is that the Black Cat Detective?" The mother duck suddenly raised her voice and quacked.

Officer Buffalo obviously hesitated for a moment, but then nodded and acknowledged the duck's judgment.

"Yes, we have a good business cooperation with Black Cat, and I believe this time will be no exception."

"Then we will surely see the criminal arrested soon!" The mother duck seemed very confident in the black cat detective.

The interview ended here, and the scene switched to a studio. A sheep began to report the news about a large number of banned drugs that were recently confiscated, and listed some of the dangers of these banned drugs.

When Lin Zhenxi heard this, the harmful effects of the words, such as addiction, hallucination, lowering of intelligence, sexual pleasure, muscle relaxation, and forced excitement, were almost piled up.

Such a powerful drug is actually being sold at a discount on the black market in "Area K".

But it seems that there is no trace of these things outside.

After the news about banned drugs, there was another piece of news about the end of the conflict between clans. The two clans' leaders sat down together, signed an agreement, shook hands, and ended the bloody conflict that had lasted for two years. Everyone was very happy.

Even this kind of thing could make the news? Oh no, even this kind of thing could make the news? The madness of "Zone K" seemed to be even beyond Lin Zhenxi's imagination.

Before the latest news could be released, Lin Zhenxi suddenly heard a series of explosions outside the window. Leaning against the window sill, she peered out and saw a fierce chase unfolding on the auxiliary road beneath the maglev highway, which was integrated into New Blue City's main transportation network. Several cars were racing each other, and members of the group, clearly from the Outer Realm, were leaning out of their windows and firing wildly at the other vehicles.

They even used rifle grenades. The explosion Lin Zhenxi heard was the sound of the rifle grenades hitting the road and exploding.

Hiss, this martial virtue seems a little too abundant, doesn't it?

However, before Lin Zhenxi could finish her sigh, she saw the rear end of the burgundy muscle car in the front flip up, revealing several rows of missile launch holes hidden in the trunk.

I am the second best...

While Lin Zhenxi was wondering "What the hell am I seeing?", a series of miniature missiles, not much longer than a cucumber, were fired from the launch pad, leaving white smoke trails, and bombarded the road behind and the pursuing car.

In an instant, flames shot up into the sky. The explosion of the missile and the fire caused by the detonated vehicle blackened the bottom plate of the maglev highway above.

This time, the muscle car finally managed to shake off all its pursuers and drove away with bullet holes all over the car, leaving only scattered parts on the ground and the burning wreckage of the vehicle in the driveway.

A human figure covered in flames crawled out of the fire, screaming loudly, but soon became silent and lay on the road, gradually being burned into charcoal.

Smelling the tar smell gradually spreading outside the window, Lin Zhenxi could only close the window and pull the curtains.

But even so, the image of the human figure being burned to death was still deeply imprinted in her mind, making her suddenly feel that she was not so hungry anymore.

Seeing these things just before dinner was too bad. The simple folk customs of "K District" deeply shocked Lin Zhenxi.

Fortunately, after this series of episodes, the rabbit girl finally started serving food to Lin Zhenxi.

A fragrant roast suckling pig with a small red apple in its mouth, two roasted fish, a pot of goat's milk, and a low-temperature grill filled with charcoal fire were pushed to the center of the room by the rabbit lady.

"Sir, your meal is ready. Do you need me to help you remove the bones?" The rabbit lady took out a boning knife that was shining with a cold light and asked Lin Zhenxi.
