Miss Dragon, the BOSS, will not be captured.

As Ling Xue recounted one past event after another, Esther's curiosity grew. Just then, a crackling sound came from the car window as raindrops began to fall on it.

It's raining?

It is late autumn on Earth now, and it is normal for an autumn rain to fall. Estia looked out the window and saw the streetlights, the lights of passing cars, and the traffic lights.

The red, green, blue, and purple lights created a dreamlike feeling, a sight she knew was absolutely unseen on the continent of Faya.

How wonderful! A world with only humans and no magic—there must be very little conflict, right?

Esther continued to gaze out the window while holding Ye Qingxian's hand, feeling the warmth of her palm.

She felt as if she had been in a dream, a very long dream. Her experiences in another fantasy world were all dreams, but this version of herself was real. This was how she should be, this was how she should live, sitting in the car watching the lights outside.

An unusual red figure flashed through the rain, making Esther's heart skip a beat.

Her consciousness briefly froze, and then she began to hallucinate.

She found herself shrunk and sitting in the driver's seat on an unfamiliar street. The weather was sunny and there was no rain.

Esther was unable to control her body, and was experiencing the driving experience from a first-person perspective, like an observer.

puff!

A muffled thud suddenly came from the windshield of the vehicle. Esther found that everything in front of her had turned blood red. Upon closer inspection, she realized that something was covering the windshield.

The dark red object, like a shadow, suddenly let out a sharp cry that pierced through the car and tore at Esther's eardrums.

The sound was like the howling of a gale, filling her with deep fear.

boom!

The sounds of impact and brakes echoed in her ears. Esther regained consciousness and found herself sweating. Ye Qingxian, who was next to her, looked at her with concern: "Is it a bit stuffy in the car? You're sweating."

"It's okay, I'm not too hot."

Estia glanced out the window; it was raining outside, and everything seemed normal.

But what was that red shadow that flashed through my memory just now?

Section 221, Chapter 207: The Pervasive Red Mist

Ling Xue drove away from the city center and into the suburbs where the building density was lower.

The house in front of me is surrounded by walls on all four sides and doesn't occupy a very large area, only a few hundred square meters. In this day and age, anyone can afford to live in such a house. The efficiency of the federal government's administration has greatly optimized land use, and even the poor can receive large houses distributed by the government for free.

Therefore, to determine whether a family is luxurious, one cannot judge solely by their property; rather, one must consider other aspects.

Today, the Earth has achieved a rational allocation of resources, which has led to a significant increase in labor costs. Everyone has enough wealth to meet their basic needs and even pursue better things. Under these circumstances, no one wants to be a wage earner unless the pay is very generous or they prefer to pass the time by working.

“Young Miss, this is where we used to live. There are still many servants here to maintain it.”

After parking the car in the garage, Ling Xue led Esther and Ye Qingxian to the courtyard. There, they saw a well-dressed and poised maid sweeping the floor, her face beaming with a genuine and warm smile.

Estya was somewhat stunned. She had to admit that the lives of humans on Earth were countless times better than those on the continent of Faya. During her time in Earth society, she had never seen any slaves or people forced to work.

On the continent of Faya, "servants" should be considered low-class workers, yet on Earth they can adopt such an attitude, walking with their heads held high and looking directly at their "masters."

"Estella, what are you thinking about?" Ye Qingxian asked.

"I wonder if all these people are working willingly?"

"I think so..."

Since she didn't live here, Ye Qingxian didn't know the specifics.

"That's how it is, Miss."

A maid dressed in a maid's outfit walked over; her attire stood out from the other maids.

Ling Xue greeted her warmly: "Ranran, are you here to play today?"

"Hmm, Xiaoya woke up? What a pleasant surprise!"

The woman called Ranran ran towards Esther, seemingly wanting a hug, but Esther immediately distanced herself from her, and the terrifying aura she exuded at the same time stunned Ranran into standing still.

"Young Miss, have you forgotten who she is? She is Mo Ran, your sister Ranran."

"Oh? Someone we know?"

Estia said she couldn't remember anything.

After Ling Xue explained, she finally understood who this Ranran was.

It turns out she was Ling Xue's classmate in high school. She used to come here often. She was a warm and lively person with a special hobby of maids, so sometimes she would come to the residence, dressed in a maid outfit, to help clean for free.

And this is exactly what she enjoys.

"You people... are really strange."

In the end, Estia could only utter this sentence.

"Okay, let's go inside and talk, it's raining right now."

The rain wasn't too heavy, and no one present had an umbrella. When they got out of the car, Ling Xue wanted to hold an umbrella for Esther, but Esther politely declined.

This level of rain doesn't require an umbrella at all; it's quite nice to just enjoy the feeling of raindrops sliding down your cheeks.

"And who is this child?" Mo Ran asked, looking at Ye Qingxian.

"Uh, I'm... Xiao Ai's friend."

"friend?"

"No need to be so subtle, Xiaoye is actually my girlfriend..."

Just as Esther was about to continue speaking, she saw Ling Xue winking at her, indicating that she didn't want Mo Ran to know about this.

Just as Esther was about to ask, she suddenly sensed a strange aura coming from the lawn in the distance.

Estella, who had been somewhat relaxed, became more alert and finally discovered a red mist hiding beneath the lawn in the distance.

No, there is no magic in this world. Is this red mist just a normal change in the climate of this world?

Regardless of the situation, Estia felt uneasy looking at the fog, so she decided to go and check it out.

"Young Miss, where are you going?"

"Did you see that red mist over there?"

"Red mist?"

Ling Xue and Mo Ran both shook their heads, indicating that they hadn't seen anything.

However, Ye Qingxian saw it, and saw more than Esther.

She felt a sudden panic, then rushed to Estia and grabbed her arm: "It's scary, I feel like it's staring at me."

"You can see it too?"

Estella became more vigilant, which inevitably reminded her of an "old friend," the jinx.

But this isn't the world of Faya, so we can't say that Earth also has jinxes, can we?

The red mist seemed to possess the ability to think; once it realized it had been detected, it immediately began to change.

Thick red fog exploded instantly, enveloping an area of ​​dozens of meters in red mist. Within this thick fog, many glittering red dots could be seen, resembling eyes.

Esther never expected to encounter danger here. Just now, Ye Qingxian said that she felt the fog was looking at her, but Esther felt that the fog might be looking at her.

She immediately shouted, "Everyone, be careful! Move towards me in the direction of the sound!"

After shouting, she immediately cast a dispelling spell, but it had no effect.

At this moment, the most anxious people were Ling Xue and Mo Ran. As ordinary humans living on Earth, they were both somewhat panicked in the face of this situation.

Ling Xue had seen Estia cast magic before, and given that Estia's identity was different from ordinary people, she was the first to react and grabbed Mo Ran's hand, leading her closer to where Estia was.

The red fog was so thick that she could only find her way by sound. Fortunately, she found her way by listening to Estia's calls.

"Strange, why can't I hear the other servants' voices?"

"They...they couldn't have already..."

Ye Qingxian didn't dare to think about what would happen next. She was terrified. This was supposed to be reality, but why...?

Estia wasn't too surprised. She was very experienced in dealing with unexpected situations. As she erected a magical barrier with a pale blue aura, everyone present was protected inside.

"What, what is this? A protective shield?" This was the first time Mo Ran had ever seen something beyond her imagination.

"Don't ask those questions yet. Can you see the red mist this time?" Esther asked Ling Xue.

"We can see it now, but what exactly is this strange thing?"

As Ling Xue spoke, she pulled out her pistol. Estya recognized this type of weapon that could fire metal bullets. She told Ling Xue that it would be better to put it away, because according to her judgment, the red mist enveloping them was not a living entity but a spirit, and therefore would not be harmed by physical means.

The only thing that can work is magic.

Section 222, Chapter 208: Reversal of Day and Night

"Xiao Ye, and Sister Ling, your information is wrong. Doesn't this world also have spirits?"

"What are spirits? There's absolutely no such thing on Earth!"

"Spiritual body is a general term. Any entity that cannot be physically harmed is considered a spiritual body, such as a collection of souls, resentment, or magical elements."

Estia explained to everyone present what a spirit was. At the same time, she recalled the illusion she had seen in the car, or rather, a past memory. The red figure that appeared in it was exactly the same as the one she had just seen in the grass.

"Xiao Ye, hold onto my arm."

Estya noticed that Ye Qingxian was trembling. After all, she was just an ordinary person, and it was normal for her to panic when experiencing such a "supernatural" thing in reality.

"Don't worry, with me here, no one can hurt you."

As she uttered these cool words, Esther unleashed her power, and the dragon's tail appeared behind her, while horns representing the dragon appeared on the top of her head.

Mo Ran stared in shock at the scene before him. How could such a feature suddenly appear on Aya's body?

She felt like she was dreaming.

Estia turned to Ling Xue and said, "You two stay inside the protective shield, and your safety will be guaranteed. The red fog outside will obstruct your vision, so remember not to run around."
