Miss Dragon, the BOSS, will not be captured.

"Ok?"

Estia walked up to the teleportation array and checked it. "The teleportation array is fine."

"What happened?"

A fragrance suddenly wafted into Ye Qingxian's nose, and she realized that the fragrance was coming from Esther's body.

Unbeknownst to her, the distance between her and Esther had become quite close.

Estya looked down and carefully examined the teleportation array, while Ye Qingxian stared at the dragon horns on her head.

These are dragon horns! They look so cool, but I wonder if they might accidentally poke the bed frame or pillow while I'm sleeping?

"strangeness."

Estya looked up and suddenly realized the distance between herself and Ye Qingxian.

If they had moved just 10cm closer, their lips would have been touching.

Why are you standing so close to me!?

Estia pushed Ye Qingxian backward with her hand, and took a step back herself.

Ye Qingxian felt wronged. She was standing still when Estya approached her.

That's so unreasonable.

"I'm sorry, I misunderstood you."

After realizing it was her fault, Esther cutely turned her head away to apologize, with a touch of tsundere charm.

"fine……"

Ye Qingxian felt like she was dreaming, chatting with the boss in the dungeon in a normal manner.

She didn't know if anyone else had interacted with Esther in the same way she had, but she now believed that she understood Esther better than most players.

Because players have been unable to complete the dungeon for a long time, they have never seen Estia in person except in the CG.

Now that the living Estia was standing right in front of her, Ye Qingxian's mind was filled with images of Estia's devoted admirers.

Estia is undeniably beautiful, and her personality is not only easygoing but also somewhat adorable, but is there really any need to idolize her so much?

So many players, who have never even met her in person, have become loyal fans of Esther.

There are even extremely perverted doujinshi artists mixed in.

Ye Qingxian will never forget the grudge of being spanked, but unfortunately she doesn't have the power to retaliate.

Estia is just too strong. Players can't even defeat her first boss. If she's not nerfed, I'm afraid no one will be able to successfully defeat Estia before the game shuts down.

Ye Qingxian thought of the most widespread saying among the players, which was that if you could win over Esther, you could make her your wife.

If a team successfully completes the mission, whose wife will Esther become in the end?

What if the person you successfully woo is a woman?

No one can provide an answer.

"Hey, stop spacing out."

Estya's voice pulled Ye Qingxian back to reality, and she seemed to have something to say.

"Is the teleportation array not set up properly?"

"There's something I have to tell you." Esther had already received a system notification: "For the next 30 days, you will have to stay in the Netherworld Dragon Abyss."

"What!?"

This news was like a bolt from the blue for Ye Qingxian. She had less than 40 days left to live, and she wanted to reunite with her mother, who was in the game, and spend her last days together...

How can I waste 30 days in a dungeon?

"Why?!"

"Don't get agitated, listen to me," Esther explained to her. "It's not that I won't let you leave, but the Netherworld Dragon Abyss will be closed for 30 days, and no one is allowed to enter or leave."

Estia just received a system warning that her previous modification of the instance data has been discovered. The entire instance will be forcibly closed for 30 days, with no entry or exit allowed. During these 30 days, rectification is required, and the world AI will also conduct an inspection.

Ye Qingxian, who remained inside the Deep Abyss when the instance closed, was naturally unable to leave.

Estia felt somewhat guilty, after all, she was the one who had brought Ye Qingxian into this mess.

"Are you deliberately trying to prevent me from leaving?"

“How could that be?” Estia shrugged. “Aren’t you a player? Just look at the system announcements or the player forums.”

Upon hearing Estya's words, Ye Qingxian immediately began checking the system announcements, oblivious to the fact that Estya knew about the player forum in her excitement.

"System Announcement: A level bug has been discovered in the Dragon Abyss dungeon. It will be fixed for 30 days. After the fix is ​​completed, all players who have entered the dungeon will receive compensation."

On player forums, many people are praising the situation, saying that the previous battles in the dungeons were so difficult, it was indeed due to a level bug.

Didn't they say "Faya Continent" had no bugs? Now they've contradicted themselves, haven't they?

Some players complained that the 30-day rectification period was too long, so the official team brought out the user agreement, which stated that players had no right to question the rectification period in the game.

So players could only rage helplessly in the comments section, unable to bring forward the deadline by even a minute.

"I didn't expect things to turn out this way. If only you had woken up ten minutes earlier."

Estya felt sorry for Ye Qingxian.

Ye Qingxian seemed to have been struck by a heavy blow, her body stiffened on the spot, unable to utter a single word, and tears began to stream down her face.

"Hey, why are you crying? It's just a month. I promise you'll eat and drink well for this month."

"You don't understand anything!"

Overwhelmed with emotion, Ye Qingxian yelled, then squatted down and cried helplessly.

She can't waste the rest of her life in this place!

Esther scratched her head. Why was Ye Qingxian reacting so strongly?

Is there something very important to do within this month?

I might as well wait until she calms down and then ask her. Since I'm the one who caused her to be trapped here, I should try my best to help her if there's anything I can do to help.

That's how Estia is. She's aloof and doesn't have much contact with anyone, but once she does, she can't stay aloof anymore.

PS2: This book does not contain any theories about lifespan, dark themes, or the separation of life and death. I will not write any angst, because with my fragile little heart, I would be killed by the knife before you even see the dagger.

Chapter 25, Episode 022: Commit Suicide, Girl

Ye Qingxian used to be very relaxed when playing games, and she was full of enthusiasm for everything she did. Now everything has changed, not only because her pain has become real, but also because she has learned that her days are numbered.

She was no longer able to spend the remaining short time with a normal mindset.

Youjing Longyuan is a good place. Besides the gloomy palace ruins, there are also beautiful places with blooming flowers, but Ye Qingxian is very lonely here.

She couldn't log off to be with her mother, couldn't play music in the bustling streets, and even if she didn't talk to anyone, just being in a crowded place wouldn't make her feel this bad.

No matter how human-like Estia is, she is still a virtual character made of data. Can she understand human feelings?

Ye Qingxian, already distressed, didn't even have a chance to confide in anyone. Looking at the remaining lifespan on the life indicator and thinking about the news that she couldn't leave the dungeon for 30 days, she became even more depressed.

"I will take responsibility for you." Esther's earnest voice echoed in his ear. "If you encounter any difficulties, I will help you solve them."

"Let me leave the Netherworld Dragon Abyss."

"Sorry, except for this."

It's not that Esther doesn't want to, but that she really can't. The world's AI is the true boss of this world.

"..."

Ye Qingxian plopped down on the ground, head down, completely withdrawn.

"Listen to me, you're so eager to leave here because you're afraid your family will worry, right?" Estia was completely clueless about comforting people. She could only squat down and look at Ye Qingxian, using all her skills to make her voice sound as gentle as possible.

Seeing Ye Qingxian remain silent, Esther continued, "I can send someone to contact your family... Are your family members also in this world?"

"Can you please stop talking? You have no idea about the real world! You're just an NPC!"

Ye Qingxian, who was emotionally unstable, couldn't hear anything. She hugged her knees, her body trembling slightly with grief.

Her conversation with Estia was completely on the same wavelength; the other woman didn't understand the difference between the game and reality, let alone know that she was a dying person.

If she doesn't die in 40 days, then being locked in the instance for a month isn't a big deal; she might even happily go exploring.

Retorted by Ye Qingxian, Esther's temper flared up: "You say I don't understand? Then explain it to me!"

She kicked Ye Qingxian in the shoulder, causing him to fall to the ground, and then walked into the house without looking back.

"Humans are so annoying."

He left those words behind and slammed the door shut.

Ye Qingxian lay on the ground, her heart filled with despair. She didn't want to be trapped here; she had to find a way out!

So, with hope in her heart, she contacted customer service and told them that she was trapped inside the instance.

The official authorities should be able to use their privileges to teleport her out directly, right?

However, the final result was extremely disappointing to her; customer service did not reply to her messages and seemed to be playing dead.

This game is garbage, and the customer service is incompetent. She really doesn't want to stay here anymore.

Ironically, she can only prolong her life by entering the game; otherwise, she would have died long ago in reality.

Suddenly, Ye Qingxian's eyes widened; she had an idea.

If I commit suicide, will I be resurrected outside the instance?

She immediately pulled out a dagger and stabbed it into her heart. At that moment, she was determined to leave the instance; leaving was the only thing on her mind.

"Ouch, that hurts..."

At this point, Estya was no longer there to heal her, and her health began to drop rapidly due to the attack on her vital parts.

Ye Qingxian gritted her teeth, endured the pain, and closed her eyes. As she was about to die, she found that her mind became clearer and her sensory abilities were greatly enhanced.
