Chapter 692 "Report on the Handling of Weird Alien Incidents"
Terra Calendar 1591.2.02.
8:00 AM.
Reality · Edici Federation - Hell's Kitchen.
Helm of the Honkai Authority.
The huge tower stands tall in the heart of New York City, adjacent to the intersection of Eighth Avenue and 42nd Street.
Not far from [Helserem Tower] is the core of the business district, with constant traffic, tourists from all over the world and local residents interweaving here. This city has never had a quiet moment.
The sky is blue, and a few white clouds float over the city like a veil. The sun shines down, illuminating this high-rise building that combines modern and Gothic styles.
The appearance of [Helserem Tower] is full of cold power. The huge glass curtain wall and steel frame reflect dazzling light in the sun, outlining its towering silhouette. There is an observation tower on the top of the tower, symbolizing the watch and control of the Hell's Kitchen area.
At this moment, the outer wall of the Administration headquarters seemed to be coated with a layer of golden light. The morning sun refracted into the interior through the glass curtain wall of the building, reflecting soft light and shadow, and sprinkled into the spacious and bright office area through the tall floor-to-ceiling windows.
The surrounding buildings were set off to be more ordinary, while the towering and magnificent tower was unmatched.
In the director's office on the top floor of the tower.
Xia Xiu sat in front of an extremely modern desk, immersed in the work of piles of documents.
The interior design is very futuristic, and the bright and spacious space adopts a simple but elegant style.
Outside the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, there is a magnificent view of the entire New York and the Hudson River.
The city buildings in the distance are looming in the morning mist, full of dynamism and vitality.
Xia Xiu frowned slightly, his fingers slid on the virtual screen, reading the details of these cases, his left elbow naturally resting on the leather armrest of the ergonomic chair, his palm supporting his cheek, seeming a little careless.
And his right hand slid gently on the virtual screen, his slender fingers skillfully flipping through one file report after another.
Although his posture was comfortable and casual, his golden eyes were focused and serious, completely immersed in the pile of cases in front of him.
His black windbreaker and top hat had long been taken off and hung casually on a hanger not far away, with his iconic silver cane leaning next to him.
The sun shone into the office through the tall floor-to-ceiling windows, and the warm light hit the slightly messy blond hair of the blond young man, coating it with a thin layer of golden brilliance.
Those soft hairs flickered slightly in the sun, like brilliant gold, setting off his handsome face.
Despite his lazy posture, his golden pupils were focused on the screen, not missing any details.
"Two hundred and thirty-four conflict incidents, four institutional emails..."
"The mutant lizard tribe did not submit oral venom samples as required."
"The translucent race deliberately frightened humans in public places."
"The petrified tribe occupied the sidewalk all night and did not return, causing traffic jams."
Xia Xiu slid through the information one by one, and the most classic cases among them were marked by [Adam].
——【Special Mark Case {奇葩-This suffix was added by the Director}】——
Case Number: AEX-3157-TFE
Date: 1591.1.27, Terra Calendar
Race: Wind Elemental Elf
Violation: Article 3 of the Law on Controlling Special Abilities of Alien Races
Case Summary: The wind elemental elf Yarres participated in the human kite festival and used his wind control ability to bring a whole group of kites into the sky without authorization, causing a short-term paralysis of air traffic in the city. Two civilian flights were forced to change routes because they could not land safely, and the chaos caused by the incident led to complaints from many passengers.
Handling Report: Yarres was given a strict ability restriction training and was required to prohibit the use of wind power in the next three months. At the same time, he was required to participate in a volunteer activity for meteorological management to help understand the impact of wind power on human life. The losses of the flight involved will be compensated by the wind elemental elf tribe.
Related to law enforcement operators: The black robe operator was nicknamed "kite keeper" by Yarres, and the operator reacted coldly to this.
——
Case number: AEX-4299-GOB
Date: 1591.1.28.
Race: Goblin Engineer
Violation: Article 5 of the Law on the Regulation of Technology and Economic Activities of Alien Races
Case summary: Goblin Engineer Grok privately built an unlicensed vending machine to sell some low-cost "mysterious technology items", including counterfeit flight shoes and inferior energy drinks, causing property losses to citizens and short-term physical abnormalities after drinking.
Handling report: The Administration confiscated and destroyed all of its illegal machines and imposed a financial fine. Grok is required to participate in the technology development project of the Honkai Administration within the next two months to compensate for the impact of his violations on public health.
Law enforcement operator: The operator was called "Gear Destroyer" by the Goblin Engineer, and the operator expressed patience in educating him.
——
Case number: AEX-6748-DWF
Date: January 29, 1591 in Terran calendar
Race: Dwarf Mason
Violation: Alien Existence and Registration Act, Article 1
Case Summary: A group of dwarven stonemasons accidentally built a secret "underground city" underground in the Hell's Kitchen area and used it for private parties and gambling activities. The facility was not registered, and the foundation of its building conflicted with the municipal drainage system, resulting in abnormal water pressure in some areas.
Handling Report: The personnel involved have immediately closed the underground city in accordance with the instructions of the Administration, and required the dwarven stonemasons to submit detailed building plans to the Administration and compensate the municipal repair costs. In the next year, all construction projects must be strictly approved.
Law Enforcement Operators: The dwarves jokingly call the black-robed operators "underground ghost messengers", and the operators handle them professionally to ensure the safety of the project.
——————————
The above cases are minor but extremely bizarre violations.
If this kind of thing were to happen to other violent agencies in the Kingdom of Heaven, they would only need to fire a bolt gun at the aliens and they would be honest.
But the new world is different after all, and everyone still talks about "peace" on the surface.
After handling those trivial and bizarre cases at hand, Xia Xiu's virtual screen suddenly popped up a new email prompt.
He squinted his eyes slightly, slid his fingers across the screen, and opened the urgent email from the Social and Cultural Committee of the New Alliance.
The information on the screen flowed across his golden pupils like water, and the sunlight shone on him through the window. He still looked quiet and elegant, but under this superficial calm, there was a kind of fire that was ready to move.
[Your Bureau Director's mailbox has been opened——]
[*Email 1: From the New Alliance Social and Cultural Committee*]
[Subject: Urgent: Alien Rights Parade-Cultural Conflict Incident]
[Sender: Social and Cultural Committee]
[Recipient: Director Hugh Abraham]
[Date: 1591.2.02, Terra Calendar]
[Priority: High]
[Dear Director Hugh Abraham,
On behalf of the Social and Cultural Committee, I urgently inform you of a major cultural conflict incident.
This morning, we received a report that members from the 'Spirit Absorber Federation' launched an alien cultural rights parade to protest the strict restrictions of the Administration on "mental control capabilities". They believe that the laws of the Administration severely restrict their cultural expression, especially the excessive control of psychic energy, which makes it impossible for them to perform normal spiritual connection rituals.
The march has begun to spread in the Hell's Kitchen district. The mind suckers convey their demands to the surrounding people through mental broadcasting, causing some citizens to feel uncomfortable or anxious. The organizers of the march threatened to continue to express their protests to the Administration through collective mental projection until their rights protection demands are responded to.
We suggest that the black-robed operators of the Honkai Administration be dispatched as soon as possible to calm the situation and start a dialogue with the representatives of the Mind Sucker Federation. Since this issue involves the conflict between alien culture and law, the handling method should be as gentle as possible to avoid causing greater social unrest.
Please handle this matter as soon as possible and provide corresponding handling opinions.
Sincerely,
Adelaide Kurd
Director of the Social and Cultural Committee.]
Xia Xiu's mouth curled up a little ironically, gently moved his left hand away from the side of his face, and leaned back in his chair.
The content of the email seemed so "familiar" that it was like some kind of farce.
He silently read the long "notice" of the Social and Cultural Committee, especially the protest march of the Mind-sucking Monster Federation, which believed that the strict restrictions on "mental control ability" by the Administration destroyed their cultural expression.
"Very good, very spirited." Xia Xiu's voice was low, with a hint of disapproval.
He slowly closed the content on the screen, but there was no ripple in his heart.
The "gentle" handling method of the Administration obviously gave these aliens an illusion that they should not have.
If it were other violent institutions in the Kingdom of Heaven, these aliens would have been beaten to a halt by a bolt gun if they had violated the rules.
However, the Honkai Administration is not entirely like this. As a secular institution open to the world, its handling methods are naturally different from those of the core violent institutions. The new world emphasizes "peaceful coexistence", and on the surface, everyone still has to talk about the word "civilized".
Xia Xiu glanced at the black windbreaker and pigeon hat hanging on the hanger.
These alien races were dissatisfied with the "gentle" approach of the management staff, and even tried to put pressure on him, the director of the management staff, the fourth sword bearer of the kingdom of heaven, through the community behind him.
What a joke!
Dong~Dong~Dong!
Xia Xiu tapped the table lightly, making a dull sound.
Then, he calmly wrote back to the Social and Cultural Committee:
[I have received the protest report about the Soul Absorber Federation. No need to say more, I will handle it——]
After sending the reply, Xia Xiu slightly adjusted his sitting posture, his eyes slightly lowered, he turned his head and called to the empty office without any hesitation:
"Adam, contact the Mole, and immediately dispatch 1,000 black-robed operators of the Mole Science Society, carrying five steel-cast behemoths and ten basilisk artillery, to the protest point. Let them "mediate" this matter. "
Xia Xiu's fingertips tapped lightly on the table, his eyes fixed on the screen.
Through the French windows, the streets of New York in the distance were still very busy, but he felt a very ironic tranquility.
"It is 8:00 am now. Tell the mole to finish this matter before 12:00."
His tone was very calm, as if he was talking about a trivial matter.
[Adam: Order confirmed]
[Command received: The director issued a command - "Dispatch the Mole Science Society to mediate the protest."]
[Time stamp: Terra calendar 1591.2.02 08:01]
[Expected completion time: before 12:00]
[Resource dispatch initialization:
Troop dispatch: Black Robe Operator·Mole Science Society Task Force 100 people, authority level A1, ready.
[Steel Cast Behemoth-Soul Tank] (5 units): Status check... completed.
Weapon system recharged.
[Fire Coverage-Basilisk Artillery] (10 units): Status normal, ammunition inventory fully loaded.
Deployment location: Hell's Kitchen City, protest center area - designated location of the Illithid Union. Estimated arrival time: 11:00, the buffer time set by the director is 1 hour. ]
[Intelligence collection and synchronization:
Real-time intelligence: The scale of the Illithid Union protest is medium, with about 500 participants, the distribution situation has been analyzed, and the hazard level is C.
Protest demands: Public condemnation and rights protection for the "violent law enforcement" of the Administration.
Potential conflict risk: The sentiment index continues to rise, and the warning level is raised to B to prevent emergencies. ]
Although he is facing protests from the alien community, Xia Xiu does not intend to really adopt any gentle dialogue.
Five [Steel Cast Behemoths] and ten [Basilisk Cannons] are enough to make those "spiritual suckers" understand that the Administration is not a well-intentioned coordinator on certain issues, but an absolute controller.
Peace does not mean weakness, but an order endorsed by powerful forces.
When he took office as the director of the Administration, he never imagined that he would make the Honkai Administration into a glamorous existence such as "the peace messenger of all races", "the goodwill ambassador of racial integration" or "the home of equal coexistence for all races".
Those hypocritical titles may sound desirable, but for the Kingdom of Heaven, they are nothing but a joke.
The reputation of the Kingdom of Heaven in the eyes of all races has long been negative to the abyss, and it can even be said that it is negative to purple and black.
The existence of the entire Kingdom of Heaven has always been based on unshakable coercion and power.
Any alien race, even if they only mention the name of the Kingdom of Heaven, will feel fear in their hearts.
As the fourth sword bearer of the Kingdom of Heaven and the director of the Honkai Administration, it is naturally impossible to rely on a smile or so-called friendly policies to win the favor of all races.
The mission of the Administration is to maintain the order of reality and to protect the stability of Terra in the collapse and chaos.
In order for those alien races to respect this order, they must show enough strength and deterrence, rather than trying to become the "peace hero" or "benevolent lord" in their minds.
The director of the Administration will not be the "bright ruler", "savior guardian" or "kind king" in the eyes of those alien races.
Xia Xiu never associates himself with those illusory virtues.
These alien races may have stayed outside Terra for too long, or Xia Xiu's administration is too benevolent, which makes them relax their stereotypes of the Kingdom of Heaven and angels.
So, he must make them understand one thing.
For the alien races, the position of the director of the Administration Bureau will always be a tyrant, a tyrant who rules all races with an iron fist and absolute power.
Xia Xiu leaned back in his chair, his eyes moving from the first email to the other unprocessed emails.
When he gently clicked on the second email, a hint of irony flashed in his eyes.

[*Email 2: From the Liaison Affairs Bureau*]
[Subject: Protest against the Administration Bureau’s violent law enforcement - Elf Green Party sued]
[Sender: Liaison Affairs Bureau]
[Recipient: Director Hugh Abraham]
[Date: Terra Calendar 1591.2.02]
[Priority: Medium]
[Dear Director Abraham,
Today, our bureau received a formal protest submitted by the ‘Elf Green Party Alliance’, who accused the Honkai Administration of using excessive violence in the recent handling of the “illegal plant planting” case. It is said that when the law enforcement officers asked the elves to remove the non-native plants they planted, they not only forcibly removed the plants, but also destroyed some ancient plant samples in the process, causing irreparable losses.
The Green Elf Alliance claimed that the Administration lacked expertise and respect in its treatment of plants, and demanded an immediate end to the practice of "brutal interference in the ecological environment." At the same time, they asked the Administration to cooperate with their ecological experts in future actions to ensure that similar incidents would not occur again.
Sincerely,
Victor Randall
Director of Mediation, Liaison Affairs Bureau.]

"Brutal interference in the ecological environment? That's too much of a compliment to us." Xia Xiu chuckled and closed the email lightly, "There are more brutal means you haven't seen yet."
Write this matter directly in the small notebook, and bury it with the next two things later... Oh, deal with it.
He continued to read the next email, this time from the Defense Planning Committee.

[*Email 3: From the Defense Planning Committee*]
[Subject: Alien Protests against the Administration's "Violent Suppression" - Threat of Orcs' Armed Resistance]
[Sender: Defense Planning Committee]
[Recipient: Director Hugh Abraham]
[Date: 1591.2.02, Terran Calendar]
[Priority: High]
[Mr. Director,
This committee has received a serious protest from representatives of the orc community, who accused the Honkai Authority of using excessive force in a recent conflict. It is reported that the incident involved a misunderstanding with the orc warrior Grum in the gym. The Authority's operators were accused of taking "excessive repression" measures to deal with the incident, which was regarded as a shame and provocation by the orc community.
The orc leader threatened that if the Authority did not publicly apologize and re-examine the law enforcement standards for orc warriors, they would launch an armed struggle and mobilize the orc warriors to openly confront the Authority. If this move is implemented, it will inevitably pose a serious threat to the security of the new world.
It is recommended that the director immediately contact the orc representatives and quell the conflict through mediation. The Defense Planning Committee is willing to assist the Authority in providing mediation, but if this matter is not handled properly, it may lead to a full-scale conflict.
Please act quickly.
Sincerely,
Granite Davis
Chairman of the Defense Planning Committee.]

"Interesting, very interesting."
Xia Xiu laughed and shook his head, "I just returned to the world, and my butt hasn't even warmed up yet, and other organizations of the New Alliance have thrown a lot of things to me, all to the Administration."
"No one wants to dirty their hands, and they all want to eat peaches comfortably in the back."
He looked at the last email, which came from the Economic Adjustment Committee. The email mentioned a group of abnormal race chambers of commerce, including the Goblin Engineers Association, the Magic Item Chamber of Commerce and other organizations, who expressed dissatisfaction with the "excessive interference" of the Administration, accusing the bureau of too strict review policies, causing their trade and technology industries to suffer losses.

[Subject: Class action lawsuit by abnormal races against the regulation of paranormal industries]
[From: Economic Adjustment Committee]
[To: Director Hugh Abraham]
[Date: 1591.2.02, Terra Calendar]
[Priority: Medium]
[Dear Director Abraham,
Today we received a joint complaint from multiple abnormal race chambers of commerce, accusing the Honkai Administration of excessive interference in regulating the paranormal industry, affecting their business operations. Representatives from the Goblin Engineers Association, the Magic Item Chamber of Commerce, and some extradimensional trading organizations all claimed that the Administration's strict review and licensing policies have seriously slowed down their trade process and caused some transactions to fail.
The Goblin Engineers Association specifically mentioned that when the Administration was cracking down on illegal technology sales, it mistakenly identified their legally operated sales machines as illegal equipment, causing the chamber of commerce to suffer huge losses. Several organizations have jointly filed a lawsuit with the Economic Adjustment Committee and requested a review of the Administration's regulatory measures.
We suggest that the Administration start a dialogue with these chambers of commerce, and that the Economic Adjustment Committee provide mediation to ensure the smooth operation of the paranormal industry and avoid the Administration from facing large-scale legal challenges.
Sincerely,
Harry Swindle
Deputy Director of the Economic Adjustment Committee.]

"Damn~"
Xia Xiu stretched out his right hand and rubbed his brow, closing the last email.
"Adam, look at these new alliance organizations, each of them has impure intentions and bad motives."
"They don't have any love among their colleagues, they are all ruthless."
He sighed and said:
"The Administration can endure any hardship, but I just don't understand..."
"They are all working for the human group, why is it that whoever does more, always suffers more grievances."
"These new alliance colleagues are instigating the relationship between the Administration and the alien race, but none of them dare to do it or admit it."
