In order to welcome the crowds on the school anniversary day, the Potion Garden closed early today and the area was already empty.

The school anniversary is gradually coming to an end. As the sky gradually darkens, the surroundings gradually become quiet and no sound can be heard.

Ivy stood outside the gate and took a look, then found a hidden spot and climbed in.

The potion garden was still peaceful, no crisis had occurred yet, and her magic power was recovering.

Even though the Time Traveler's Invitational Party was over, she couldn't stand so obviously outside the potion garden where something big was about to happen.

So suspicious.

……

Although the garden was quiet and deserted, Ivy still hid all the way and approached the central courtyard cautiously.

Pukuriya is not here.

Liu Guangrui, who used to be just a foil, is not here either.

Instead, the most important black plant was placed alone on the round table, with no one paying attention to it.

In the darkness of the night, it was difficult to see its condition clearly. It was not until Ivy got closer that he discovered that more than half of its flowers had withered, and the table was covered with fallen yellow petals.

The few remaining clusters of flowers now became listless, and it was obvious that they would not survive the night.

Its flowering period is coming to an end.

……

……

"Mom, I'm so hungry." Ke'er greedily sucked Pukulia's blood, her mouth full of red. "There are so many people outside today. Why can I only go out until late at night?"

"Ke'er, be good. We have to wait until they are all asleep."

"When will they fall asleep? Are they asleep now?"

"currently there is not."

"Can they fall asleep soon? I really want to go out."

Pukulia's face was pale, and the rapid loss of blood made her consciousness blurred, but she still gently stroked the girl's long hair, as if she was not the one suffering at the moment.

Ke'er became increasingly difficult to satisfy, and at the same time, she became increasingly bloodthirsty and brutal. During the days when she ate outside the school, she would always suddenly attack passers-by who went out at night, and there were several times when she almost bit people to death while sucking their blood.

However, compared to the safe utopia of St. Hobia College, the outside world is full of dangers and tragedies. Ke'er's atrocities are just a small part of them and did not attract the attention of the college.

"Ke'er, are you happy during this period?" Pukulia smiled kindly, but her expression looked a little tired.

The ground was littered with broken doll limbs and cotton, which were once resurrection gifts given to Ke'er, but now they looked more like garbage and were in the way.

Ke Er smiled brightly: "Happy, very happy, my mother will take me outside to attract a lot of people, I love my mother the most!"

Pukulia held the girl in his arms, looked out the window at the night, and lost himself in memories.

"Ke'er, do you still remember those things you wanted to do?"

"What's the matter?" A trace of confusion flashed in Ke'er's eyes.

"You said...you wanted to go to the beach after the holiday and defeat the monster in the sea. You also said that you wanted to make a treasure chest, put important things in it, and then bury it under the tree I planted."

"Do you still remember the tree I planted? It's still in my backyard, and it's grown taller than the roof..."

"These things sound so boring!" Ke'er interrupted her.

Pukulia shook his head, as if he hadn't heard it: "Do you still remember our home? It still remains... the same as it was before you left. Do you want to go back and take a look?"

Ke'er's eyes lit up: "Can we go out now? I want to go!"

"We have a lot of things that we didn't have time to do at the beginning. Can we finish them all in the future?"

"Okay, I love being with my mom the most, and I want to be with her all the time in the future. Can I go out now?"

"Ke'er." Pukulia hugged her tightly, "Your flowers are about to wither. You can go out today, but when you come back..."

-

"Would you please return to the flowers?"

Ke'er's expression changed.

"Mom? Are you going to lock me in the flowers again?"

"This is not a lock-up, it's to protect your soul. Believe me, you'll be able to get out again soon, okay?"

“I don’t want to!” Ke’er pushed her away, her face gradually becoming ferocious, “I don’t want to go back!”

"Ke'er!"

"You hate me, you think I'm troublesome, and you want to lock me up in the flower again!"

"No, I promised you that we will still do what we agreed to do before..."

"I don't want that kind of boring thing! You don't care how miserable I am in there, you just want to lock me up!"

The magic power around Ke'er suddenly ran wild, and the powerful magic fluctuations were comparable to those of Pukulia.

"Calm down and sit down, Ke'er."

Ke'er slapped away Pukulia's outstretched hand.

"I do not want."

Pukulia was stunned.

Just because those dark eyes were filled with hatred at this moment.

That was definitely not the look he gave his mother.

"Don't try to lock me up again." After saying this, Ke'er broke through the restrictions of the house and escaped.

Although it was almost late at night, due to the school anniversary, there must still be people on the street.

If Ke'er rushed out like this irrationally, not only would her true identity be exposed, but it would also easily cause casualties...

Pukulia instantly disappeared into the shadows and quickly gave chase.

……

……

Pitch-black thorny vines covered the ground. Like marching snakes, they quickly emerged from the potion garden and spread to further parts of the campus.

The light from the street lamps was obscured by the tangled vines, becoming dim and bright; the street was filled with thick dark magic, corroding the grass and trees on both sides, causing them to wither and lose their vitality.

The first victim soon appeared. He was just taking a night walk after the show when he was tightly entangled by vines that emerged from the darkness. The sharp thorns pierced his skin all over, greedily sucking his blood.

The next moment, Pukulia jumped out of the ground and cut off all the thorns.

The victimized student had already lost consciousness, and the life-saving magic on his school uniform's bow tie was fully activated, enveloping him in a healing light.

This means that Ke'er just made a fatal move.

"Ke'er, stop! Have you forgotten our agreement?" Pukuriya stopped her.

They had agreed that when Pukuria was not around, Ke'er was not allowed to act on her own or attack students.

There was a bloodthirsty light in Ke'er's eyes.

"Mom, why do you always stop me? Maybe if I just kill someone, my power will be completely complete and I can become a real person! But why do you stop me!"

"Because I know you can't become a human, I want to stop you from doing wrong things."

Pukulia reached out his hand to her, with a hint of heartache in his eyes: "Ke'er, believe me, I will make you truly alive. Now...be obedient and come back with me."

The flowers will wither tonight, and her soul will fade with them.

Ke'er bared her ferocious fangs, her eyes gradually filled with hatred and madness.

"I do not want."
