Miss Dragon, the BOSS, will not be captured.

However, Yunia also said that with her physical condition, she should be fine even if she gets styes.

Estia looked up at the sky, the warm sunlight shining on her face. The rain had stopped, and the air was filled with the fragrant scent of damp earth after the rain, which smelled wonderful.

but……

Estia witnessed a truly shocking scene, and her heart clenched in her throat.

Two charred corpses lay on the ground not far away; judging from their shape…

"..."

Estya remained silent.

She had no choice; she could only protect Ye Qingxian, and the price was the lives of the others…

It had been a very long time since anyone she knew had died before her eyes. She couldn't describe her feelings at that moment; she felt as if a stone was blocking her heart.

"Xiao Ye... wake up quickly."

Estia shook Ye Qingxian's body, and to everyone's delight, Ye Qingxian's eyelashes fluttered slightly, as if she were about to wake up.

Just then, Estia remembered the corpse that was no longer human.

"I'm sorry... Sister Ling, and Sister Ranran..."

Estia decided to cover up their deaths because she was 100% certain that Xiaoye couldn't accept the fact; given Xiaoye's psychological capacity... she simply couldn't bear it.

She controlled magic to cover the corpse, using a "magical structure" specifically designed for handling corpses, capable of decomposing most substances in the world.

As the corpse turned into particles and disappeared into the air, Estia felt a pang of sadness.

She really didn't expect things to happen so suddenly. The humans who were just laughing and talking a moment ago have now left this world.

It's not that humans are fragile, but that life itself is fragile.

"A... Estya?"

Ye Qingxian slowly woke up, her head still buzzing.

"Let's go back."

Estya silently helped Ye Qingxian up.

"Go back? What about Sister Lingxue and the others?"

"They had something to do and left first."

"What exactly happened just now?"

"I don't know either, but the world has become normal again now."

Estya's tone suggested she didn't want to explain further, and Ye Qingxian keenly caught a hint of weariness in her voice.

It was still daytime, and there was no red mist around, as if nothing had happened.

"Aren't we going to visit your house? Sister Lingxue, did something important happen at work?" Ye Qingxian asked again, still asking the same question from before.

"Alright, let's go back to the Faya world first. Because of the anomaly just now, the enhancement time that Calamity gave me is about to end."

Estia lied; she actually had plenty of time left, but she didn't want to stay in this world any longer.

She felt an even stronger hatred for the existence of jinxes.

"Cough cough..."

"Ok?"

Ye Qingxian couldn't help but glance at Esther, wanting to ask her why she was coughing.

At that moment, she saw the car parked in the garage. Because the garage door was not closed, she could see it very clearly.

When they arrived, Sister Ling drove them here. Since Sister Ling had an urgent matter to attend to, why didn't she even drive her car away?

What Esther said was very suspicious. Neither she nor Esther could drive, so it was impossible that she deliberately left the car for them.

At this moment, the silver dragon girl had already spread her wings, flying faster than driving a car, and using magic to hide her body, so that no one in the world could find her.

Ye Qingxian wanted to say that she hadn't gone to buy entertainment equipment for everyone yet, but then she remembered that Estheria said she didn't have much time left on Earth, so she had no choice but to give up.

After they left, a girl with wings on her back descended from the sky, but her wings were not made of flesh and bones, but mechanical wings made of metal.

After landing in the empty courtyard, she began to mutter to herself, "What a horrific scene... but your souls have not yet dissipated..."

The mecha girl took out something that was very out of character for her—something that looked like a furnace, which was containing those invisible, intangible things.

"Let's just send you to another world. It's a way to save innocent people from being implicated."

Putting away the stove, the mecha girl looked towards the room where Estia had left. She could clearly see Estia holding Ye Qingxian as she flew through the air. Her eyes, called "Eagle Eyes," were a product of cutting-edge technology, capable of tracking targets up to hundreds of kilometers away.

Even if Estia used invisibility magic, she could still detect her.

She looked up at the sky, which was now crystal clear; the dark clouds that had accompanied the rain had vanished without a trace.

People died here today. They were innocent; they didn't deserve to die.

But since he was with Esther, it's normal for him to be implicated.

She wondered how many crises Ye Qingxian, as Esther's closest person, would face in the future.

Can Esther guarantee that she can protect the people around her every time?

Even a single mistake can lead to irreparable consequences.

Section 226, page 212: Things weren't too bad.

Estia was clearly in a terrible mood; she didn't even try to hide it, showing it directly on her face.

Ye Qingxian was worried about what had happened to Ling Xue and Mo Ran. She asked Estya but couldn't get an answer. Could something really have happened to them?

The previous experience was not a dream. Before losing consciousness, Ye Qingxian also saw a shooting star falling from the sky.

She doesn't like to overthink, but given the current situation, she can only imagine the worst possible outcome.

Estia accelerated her flight in the sky, returning to the Federal Medical Research Institute in just a few minutes. Then, using the convenience of magic, she returned to the facility without being detected by the guards.

How should she explain Ling Xue's situation? This was a problem that gave Esther a huge headache.

That loyal man who followed her around calling her "Young Miss" died mysteriously from the meteor's attack.

If she had reacted in time, Esther would have done everything in her power to save him, but there are no "ifs".

There was also Mo Ran, whom she had only met once. Based on their conversation, it was clear that before the body named Aiya lost its memory, she was someone she knew, just like Ling Xue. However, her memories had not yet been awakened and were sealed away forever with the dead.

Estia has a strong mental fortitude and will not have a mental breakdown because of her friend's death, but her mood has become gloomy for the first time in a long time. It's a jinx, another jinx. Will it haunt her forever?

Earth shouldn't have the power of a calamity star, so what exactly happened?

Estia suddenly wanted to go to a place, a place far underwater, where Ling had a base, and if nothing unexpected happened, she should be there.

"Aiya, where did Lingxue go?"

The dean's secretary came over and asked Esther that the news of Ling Xue taking Ye Qingxian and Esther out in violation of regulations had been learned, and the dean was very angry and wanted to find Ling Xue to give her a good scolding.

"Sister Lingxue knows she made a mistake, so she will be back a little later."

"Hmph, so what if they come back late? They're bound to get a scolding from the dean anyway. Luckily, you're all alright..."

The secretary shook her head and then went to report to the dean.

Estia watched her leave, lost in thought.

"Estella? What do we do next?"

Ye Qingxian asked, feeling indecisive at this time and only able to ask Esther for her opinion.

"Go back to your room first. My soul will be forcibly teleported back in a few minutes."

Today is the day Esther has lied the most. She never used to like using lies to do anything, but now she has no choice.

Before news of Ling Xue's death, or even her disappearance to others, spreads, she needs to find Ling first and answer the questions in her heart.

In this world called Earth, Ling may not be able to arbitrarily arrange the fate of all living things like she can on the continent of Faya, but as a super AI, she is already considered to be at the highest level.

Using fabricated reasons to trick Ye Qingxian into connecting to the virtual reality device, and agreeing to meet her on the continent of Faya, Esther left the Federal Research Institute again and flew towards the ocean.

There are so many questions. What is the purpose of this jinx? Does it want to invade the world or control her body?

She has now contracted asteroides, which is definitely not a good thing, because the underlying causes of asteroides are still difficult to understand.

The air was salty and damp, and the sea breeze was blowing in our faces. Finding Ling's base in the ocean was like looking for a needle in a haystack. Fortunately, Ling seemed to have everything under control and stood on the shore waiting for Esther.

The silver dragon girl landed on the ground, her tone anything but calm: "Ling! Explain to me, what exactly is a calamity star, and what's going on in this world!"

The girl with the mechanical body looked at her expressionlessly, her eyes devoid of any emotion.

"Say something, Ling! Do you really enjoy watching me get lost and wander around aimlessly?!"

“There’s nothing to explain.” Ling’s tone sounded quite calm. “Don’t use your soul to travel between worlds so casually anymore. The power of the calamity star originally belonged to the enemy.”

"Is the jinx targeting me or Xiao Ye?"

"They have both, but they're targeting you more."

"..."

Estia thought of her mother, the one who still had affection for her, the one with a touch of gentleness: "Netissa is my enemy. She comes from the world of Calamity. Do you know anything more about her?"

"not sure."

Although Ling said that, she was secretly delighted. She hadn't expected Netissa to have a talent for gaming. In her divine realm, she had recommended many games to Netissa, and the final result was...

Surprisingly, a new resident had joined her divine kingdom. The game's allure had led Netissa to temporarily postpone her declaration of war against the continent of Faya. This made Ling doubt whether Netissa had been serious about what she had said, as she could change her mind so casually.

However, she also knew that Neytissa was not that simple, and perhaps she was deliberately acting in a way that was meant to mislead her?

In short, Ling has been observing Netissa, and at the same time she is investigating what the significance of the existence of a calamity star is. Having lived on the continent of Faya and on Earth, she also knows very little about the world of the calamity star.

"I sense you're not in a very good mood."

"Does this even need to be felt?"

"Let me guess, do you know someone who has died?"

"Ling, you know that's incredibly rude and makes you want to punch me."
