Li Chengyi’s eyes were full of anticipation and fanaticism.

He quickly let go of the flowers in his hand and grabbed another string.

As he continued to grab and change, streams of cool aura kept flowing into the back of his hand.

The collection progress of the Wisteria Flower Scale Gear was rapidly increasing.

From the initial 5%, it quickly rose to 28%.

But at 28%, he had absorbed all the wisterias here.

Is this all?! He looked around but couldn’t find any other wisteria.

There were at least a hundred wisterias here, but they still couldn’t fill up the Flower Scale Gear collection progress.

This made Li Chengyi regret not choosing the wild chrysanthemum from before.

After all, there were wild chrysanthemums everywhere. Perhaps he could finish the collection progress of the Flower Scale Gear to unlock this mysterious armor.

But after he confirmed it, it was already too late.

After making sure that there were no more wisterias around, Li Chengyi quickly ran home.

He needed to bring the various foods that he had bought earlier.

It only took him three minutes of running to reach home and grab the plastic bag he had packed.

He picked up the bag, closed the door, and rushed out of the house without a word. While there was still time, he planned to go to the opposite neighborhood to take a look. There might be wisterias there!

Without entering the elevator, Li Chengyi carried the bag and went down the stairs. He rushed out of the stairwell and ran along the street.

After leaving the neighborhood, he suddenly stopped and thought of something. He quickly looked around. There must be a lot of flowers in the small park!

In the small park where his predecessor often exercised, there were many plants and trees, so he would definitely be able to find more wisterias.

The streets at night were quiet. Outside the neighborhood, passing vehicles came and went. It seemed as though there was no one in the metal boxes. Nothing could be seen inside through the thick, dark glass.

These vehicles gave people a cold and lifeless feeling.

On a long grayish-white sidewalk on one side of the street, Li Chengyi, dressed in a gray tracksuit, quickly rushed toward the small park with the large plastic bag in his hands and sweat on his forehead.

There were tall evergreens standing upright on the sidewalk, and the green tree crowns were trimmed into standard ovals. They were whimpering with the wind.

Li Chengyi kept passing through evergreens and r-shaped street lights.

The cold white lights dragged out his figure into slender black shadows one after another.

Thump, thump, thump…

The sound of his sneakers stepping on the ground tiles was rhythmic.

Soon, he ran to the entrance of the small park.

Turning right on the sidewalk ahead and passing by a somewhat rusted white metal road sign, it was the small park.

Li Chengyi felt his entire body burning, and sweat kept flowing down his hair and temples.

Panting heavily, he made a sharp turn.

Squeak!

There was the sound of friction from his shoes rubbing against the ground.

He stopped abruptly and stood still. He stood at the entrance of the park and looked inside.

At night, the solar street lights in the small park lit up one after another. The dim lights were like bubbles floating in a dark forest, psychedelic and beautiful.

Let me think… I just exercised during the day. I should have seen some. Li Chengyi tried his best to calm his thoughts and recall the previous scenes.

The small park was egg-shaped, and small flowers were planted along the side of the outer track.

Flowers withered and changed quickly, so even though his predecessor had exercised, he hadn’t cared much.

It should be… in the innermost area, on the stone racks near the right!

Wisterias didn’t grow on the ground, so they were very easy to identify.

After determining the location, Li Chengyi quickly rushed into the small park and ran all the way along the dark red running track.

Before he ran two hundred meters, a streak of clear purple appeared in his field of vision on the side of a solar street lamp in front of him.

Found some! Excited, he sped up and rushed over with all his might.

His right hand quickly grabbed the wisterias hanging in the air.

Thump!

The cold and soft touch spread to his hand.

[Collection progress increased to 11%.]

[Collection progress increased to 12%.]

[Collection progress increased to 15%.]

A series of notifications rang in his mind.

After many consecutive beeps, the collection progress reached 23%.

Seeing that this cluster of flowers was no longer useful, Li Chengyi quickly changed to another string and continued to listen to the continuous prompts.

There were more than ten clusters of wisteria beside a street light, so densely packed that they looked like more than ten clusters of purple grapes.

In terms of quantity alone, they were much more concentrated than the wild chrysanthemums on the ground, making Li Chengyi more certain of his earlier choice.

Had he chosen the wild chrysanthemum, he might not have been able to increase his collection progress so quickly.

After all, wild chrysanthemums were too scattered.

And he had now absorbed at least hundreds of wisterias.

Under the dim light of the street lights, Li Chengyi kept reaching out to touch different strings of flowers.

Looking from afar, if anyone saw his current appearance and his focused and nervous expression, they might think that he was mentally ill.

But only he knew that all of this was for one purpose.

To continue living!

The collection progress was increasing rapidly.

Seeing that it had broken 70%, Li Chengyi suddenly stopped. He had touched all the wisterias here. Is this not enough?

He looked around and found some more at the edge of a stone rack not far away.

He immediately rushed over.

Soon, he crossed a distance of more than ten meters and grabbed new wisterias.

When he saw the collection progress increase again, his tense emotions relaxed slightly. Faster…! Faster!

78%.

82%.

86%.

91%.

94%.

There was only the last few percent left.

Li Chengyi’s eyes widened, and the whites of his eyes were faintly bloodshot.

He held the plastic bag full of things in one hand and kept touching different wisterias with the other.

At this moment, he vaguely felt a trace of sleepiness slowly creeping into his mind. Is it coming?!

He became more and more anxious. Quicker! Quicker!

96%.

97%.

98%!

The last two percent!

Li Chengyi was trembling all over, extremely nervous.

It was as though he were racing against life and playing tug of war with time.

Soon.

99%!

One last percent!

On the back of his right hand, one of the slots on the dark purple ring was slowly glowing with purple light.

Countless gorgeous patterns of wisterias intertwined and stacked together appeared in the purple light.

In the slot, the densely-packed wisterias formed an elliptical vortex. The center of the vortex was pitch-black, and in the center of the pitch-blackness, a needlepoint-sized pure white light was faintly shining.

Li Chengyi didn’t dare to blink at all as he stared intently at the wisterias in front of him.

He was waiting for the final percent, the final completion!

Finally.

100%!

[Collection complete.]

Ding.

In an instant, a clear bell sound rang in his ears.

Li Chengyi’s vision instantly turned black.

In the darkness, a gorgeous dark purple armor with shoulder armor protruding out like blades slowly appeared from the fog, approaching from afar.

The armor perfectly protected all parts of the body, leaving only a part of the eyes exposed.

Overall, it looked like purely decorative ceremonial armor, and the entire armor was made of palm-sized, petal-shaped armor plates.

Every plate of armor had a large number of wisteria patterns engraved on it, and there were tiny, extremely sharp serrations on the edges.

The head of the armor was a metal helmet with three sharp purple horns.

The entire helmet covered his mouth, nose, and ears, revealing only the gaps of the eyes. It was exquisite and beautiful.

Is this the Flower Scale Gear?! Li Chengyi looked at the armor in front of him and inexplicably had the urge to wear it.

But he held it in. This wasn’t the Dead End, and even in a small park, there were many hidden cameras.

After he refused to wear it, the surrounding darkness faded, and the scenery of the small park quickly returned.

Fortunately, I made it in time…

Standing still, he heaved a long sigh of relief.

The sleepiness from earlier was gone now.

It seems like my sleepiness was due to excessive exercise. A natural reaction of my body isn’t an omen of a Dead End.

Li Chengyi felt much more relaxed.

He reached out and gently touched the back of his right hand. Even without using his phone, he could clearly see the dark purple ring on the back of his hand.

It seemed because it was the first time that he had completely filled in a flower, this mysterious Flower of Evil underwent changes.

Li Chengyi looked up at the remaining wisterias around him and reached out to touch them again.

But this time, there was no reaction.

No cool aura flowed into the back of his hand.

A thought arose in his mind. Should I change to another type of wisteria? Has this type of wisteria reached its upper limit?

He helplessly lowered his hand and wiped the sweat off his forehead.

Since it was no longer useful, he had to go back and rest first before thinking about what he had to prepare.

He turned around and quickly walked toward the exit of the small park.

“Uh?!” Li Chengyi was stunned. His right leg, which he had just raised, fell back to the ground.

He stared blankly at the scene in front of him. A chill rose in his heart.

In front of him was not the running track in the park that he had expected.

Instead, it was an empty underground parking garage with white lights extending all the way to the end!

Underground parking garage?!

No!

It wasn’t an underground parking garage!

It was the Dead End!

At this moment, he seemed to think of something. His body tensed up, and his gaze followed the right wall and quickly found the small door to the maintenance room.

This small door…

It was open!

Just like when he was in the omen last time, the small door to the maintenance room opened, and then…

Thinking of this, Li Chengyi seemed to notice something.

He was sweating profusely as he instantly turned around!

A black and white scene came into view!

The two-meter-tall human face was right behind him!

Incredibly close!

The human face was expressionless as it opened its mouth silently.

Boom!

An ear-piercing scream exploded out of the big mouth, sending a raging airwave in a fan-shaped area.

Thick black smoke flew out of the mouth of the giant human face at the same time, instantly drowning Li Chengy and dyeing an area of more than ten square meters in the parking garage behind him black.

Thick smoke billowed, and violent winds raged.

The thunderous sound wave kept reverberating in the underground parking garage, producing echoes.

The floor shook, the lights shook, and fine dust fragments fell from the ceiling and were then blown to the floor by the wind.

After three to four seconds, the black smoke slowly dissipated and turned into strips that spread deep into the underground parking garage, faded, and disappeared.

In the black smoke, a purple figure kneeling on one knee slowly emerged.

The invisible fragrance of wisteria, like fine wine, filled the air with mist and strong winds.

Click.

The purple figure stood up, revealing the dark purple metal armor covering his body.

The armor was engraved with small and exquisite wisteria patterns.

Countless translucent purple wisteria petals were flying around him like whirling sand. The scene was like a dream.

“I won’t die… Absolutely!” Li Chengyi raised his head, and his black eyes under the helmet were bloodshot.

Suddenly, he stepped forward.

He raised his hand.

He ran straight forward and stretched out his hands with all his strength. “I’ll tear you apart!”

Squish!

His hands stabbed fiercely into the human face, like piercing a balloon, penetrating in without any resistance.

With a squelching sound, the entire giant human face was completely torn in half.

The two halves slowly shattered in the air, turning into small black and white particles and disappearing into the air.
