"Hey! What are you doing, young lady!"
"Who are you people?! I've already told you I'm not your young lady!"
Why isn't this damn dungeon over yet? What's the point of this dungeon in Calamity?
That wretched world AI.
Estia cursed Ling countless times in her heart, but she also knew that it had little to do with Ling.
Now trapped in the dungeon and having lost her power, Esther is in a terrible state. However, she still remembers what Ling had told her: do not believe anything you see in front of you.
"Miss, this is just injecting nutrient solution into your body, it's not harming you."
"How do I know if you're trying to harm me? I don't trust humans."
Given the precedent of human empires assisting unknown beings in destroying dragon kingdoms, Esther is filled with distrust of humans. She will only speak properly with someone she has observed and confirmed to be someone she can associate with.
"No, I don't believe in humans... You're human too."
"I've already said it, I am a dragon!"
Estia sat up abruptly in bed. Although she was hungry, she was determined to prove her point.
She raised her hand, trying to make ice elemental magic appear on her palm: "See? This is magic."
She was met with a confused look from Ling Xue.
"Where are my elemental powers? Where are my magical adaptability?! They're all gone!?"
"..."
Ling Xue stared blankly at Estia. The young lady had been acting recklessly ever since she woke up. If she wasn't doing it on purpose, then it could only be…
"Doctor! Please come quickly!"
She turned and ran out, calling for the doctor, closing the door behind her as she left the room.
Like Ling Xue, Esther was also puzzled. What was going on?
She jumped off the bed, put her bare feet on the floor, and began to test her physical strength.
Damn it... She has no strength left at all; this is the first time she has encountered such a situation.
As a long-lived species that has lived for over a thousand years, even though she spends most of her time staying in the Netherworld Dragon Abyss, Esteria has fought against many powerful individuals, including some who enjoy mind control or creating illusions. However, no matter how strong the opponent is, Esteria possesses varying degrees of resistance.
But the Calamity instance completely rendered her powerless, stripping her of all her strength. How infuriating! What is the background of this Calamity?
Section 153, page 146: A Real-Life Encounter
"It's really strange, ever since the young lady woke up..."
Through the glass window, Ling Xue observed the young lady. At this moment, the silver-haired girl was walking back and forth in the room, occasionally poking the instruments in the room with her curious hand.
"Could she have amnesia?" the doctor standing nearby guessed. "If she suffered a severe head injury, amnesia is indeed a possibility, but if that were the case, she definitely wouldn't have survived..."
“The young lady already had amnesia, so she doesn’t recognize me at all now.”
Ling Xue sighed and recounted the tragedy of the silver-haired girl.
People often say that fish only have a seven-second memory, which has been proven false, but there are indeed things in this world that have a memory similar to that of fish.
The eldest daughter of the family contracted a strange illness 15 years ago. Her memory can only last for 7 days, or one week. Every Sunday night after midnight, her memory will be completely reset, and she will forget her family and friends, only retaining basic common sense memories.
"Does such a strange disease really exist in the world?"
"Five years ago, the young lady suddenly fell into a coma, like a vegetable. We have tried all kinds of medical methods, but we could not wake her up. But for some reason, she suddenly woke up today."
"Then he jumped off the building."
“Sigh, she was only 10 years old when she got sick, and now, 15 years later, she still looks like a young girl.”
"To stay young forever?"
"Would you be willing to do it if it were you?"
"Unwilling... Sigh, there are so many strange diseases, one after another. Our medical research institute was built for another girl with a strange disease."
"That girl named Ye Qingxian, right? The one those mercenaries came to assassinate today."
"Yes."
"I'm very curious how the mercenaries managed to break in. Everyone who works here, even the cleaners, has been screened by the Federation and confirmed to have sufficient security clearance. Who could it be?"
"Who knows?" The doctor shrugged. "I should get back to work; studying Ye Qingxian's body is my main task."
"and many more."
Ling Xue stopped her. Although she was just a maid in the young lady's family, she had a lot of decision-making power in many matters.
"Is there anything else?"
"Can you admit my young lady? Your research institute is so big, isn't it a bit of a waste to use it only for researching Ye Qingxian?"
"Don't ask me about that, go ask the dean, she's the one who decides."
"alright."
Ling Xue walked towards the old dean's workplace. Now that the alarm had been lifted, the dean had returned to her post. To be honest, at her age, she should have found a place to enjoy her retirement, not continued to engage in medical research.
Along the way, Ling Xue encountered many federal military personnel who were investigating suspicious individuals. There must have been a mole within the organization involved in this attack, but figuring out exactly who it was was a headache for the security department.
Upon meeting the former dean, Ling Xue presented her idea, which he agreed to after careful consideration.
“Your patriarch has helped the Federation a lot in the past, and I am still willing to do that favor.”
"Alright, I will inform the head of the family."
In fact, even before the young lady woke up, a group of people were already considering sending her to this newly built medical research institute to try and wake her up with the best medical care.
Now that the young lady has woken up, things have deviated somewhat from the original plan, but it is still reasonable to place her here for the doctors to study her amnesia.
Just now, Ling Xue heard the young lady repeatedly mentioning things like dragons and magic. This was the first time she had seen her like this, and she was very curious about where the young lady had heard these words. She should forget them every time she had amnesia.
She returned to the young lady's ward and observed her through the glass window before entering. She discovered that the young lady was cutting her arm with a scalpel from the operating table.
boom!
She immediately pushed open the door and rushed in: "Young Miss! You can't hurt yourself anymore!"
“I didn’t harm myself, I was observing my blood… my dragon blood.”
Estia found herself in what felt like a different body; instead of dragon blood, she had ordinary human blood flowing through her veins.
So, can the dungeon be ended now? Is there any way to escape the dungeon?
She closed her eyes, trying to feel the flow of energy within her body.
Glug glug~
Her stomach growled louder; she felt incredibly hungry and wished she could eat something.
Opening her eyes, Estia looked at the black-haired woman in front of her: "Hey, is there anything to eat? I want to eat meat."
She could understand the term "young lady." Regardless of why the other party addressed her that way, based on her current status, she should be able to command this black-haired woman.
Ling Xue wanted to persuade the young lady to cooperate with the IV drip, but seeing the young lady now lively and energetic, she finally sighed.
"I'll go ask where the cafeteria is and then take you there."
"canteen?"
"It's the place where we eat."
"Hurry up."
As Estia watched Ling Xue leave the room, she also put down the knife in her hand. Surprisingly, her wound stopped bleeding so quickly and began to scab over.
After testing, although she retained her original appearance, her body had transformed from a dragon into a human... as it was supposed to be, but—
Estia ran her fingers through her hair and felt a pair of tiny, hard bumps on the top of her head—one of her body's organs, the dragon horns.
But now the dragon's horns are so small that they are covered by its hair. Even the horns of newly born dragons are not this small. What is going on?
Does this mean I have to start developing from scratch?
Estia felt extremely hungry; her body needed to replenish its energy. At the same time, she wondered if her current lack of strength was due to hunger.
If I fill my stomach, maybe I can regain my strength?
Ling Xue returned quickly and said to her, "Come with me, Miss, I'll take you to the cafeteria."
"it is good."
Let me help you put your shoes on first.
"I can do it myself, don't touch me."
Estia hated physical contact with others, and she could guess that her body had definitely been touched by doctors when she was sent to the hospital, but even wearing gloves was not an option.
She couldn't help but feel a chill.
Ling Xue wanted to help Estia, but the latter refused without hesitation.
"I'm not a patient. Come on, take me to get something to eat."
"Yes……"
Ling Xue accepted reality. It was really easy for her to accept the strange behavior of the young lady. Therefore, ever since the young lady got the strange illness, she would show different behaviors after each memory reset.
The two arrived at the cafeteria. No one was eating at the moment, but the chef had already prepared a sumptuous feast. Smelling the aroma of the food, Esther pounced on it and began to eat heartily, never caring about table manners.
"Please eat slowly, and it's best to put the food on your plate first, instead of eating directly from the bowl... Hey, don't grab it with your hands!"
At this moment, in the corridor on the other side of the cafeteria, Ye Qingxian arrived at the cafeteria accompanied by a medical worker.
"This is the cafeteria. Meals are free. Have a meal here first."
"Thank you, nurse."
Now that Ye Qingxian has returned to reality, she must replenish her energy by eating. She is not familiar with the various facilities in this research institute, but the friendly medical staff will take her around.
