Otherworldly Desert Dust-Chapter 420 375 Call Me Mayor

Wu Hen's gaze locked onto the Evil Spirit Mayor, and within his chest, a Thunder Seed was ready to bloom.

Although it was somewhat an overkill to deal with such a High-level Evil Spirit, currently, the only ability Wu Hen had that could surpass the Forbidden Magnetism was to awaken Little Yi.

The Mayor Evil Spirit stood at the lectern, and unlike other Evil Spirits enveloped in a dense and murky aura, its figure was very three-dimensional, more like an ancient malevolent statue veiled in black death shroud, obscuring its face and adding a touch of nobility and mystery.

The terrifying atmosphere had frosted the surroundings, and the black-red water seeped from beneath the floor into the library.

At this moment, Levi was also staring intensely at the Evil Spirit, unmoving, but the dust around him exhibited a strange magnetic levitation, clinging around Levi, forming an almost imperceptible dust coat.

Both were prepared to use force.

Levi was unsure if Wu Hen's abilities could be used, so he dared not relax.

Wu Hen was also unsure if the Prison Director's mysterious skills were effective here; under the circumstances of ability restriction, everyone here could be instantly killed by the High-level Evil Spirit, not even a slight delay was tolerable.

"Pant, pant, pant, pant~~~~~~~"

A sinister wind inexplicably whipped up, exceptionally fierce within the entirely sealed library.

The bookshelves wobbled, lights from above smashed down, all tables and chairs leaned against the walls, and some hidden cabinets also fell...

Within the fallen cabinets, some intact books were also whipped up by the sinister wind.

One particularly thin booklet was torn into countless pages in the wind, which then intensified, cutting through the air like an axe, creating frightening cracks in the cabinets and walls.

Levi and Wu Hen furrowed their brows, their faces showing confusion.

They weren't puzzled by how terrifying the High-level Evil Spirit's wind blades were; they were puzzled by the prolonged prelude to slaughter from the Evil Spirit—wasn't it supposed to act instantaneously? Being a High-level Evil Spirit, it wouldn't lack strange methods to kill, so why bother creating such terrifying atmospheres with sinister winds and malevolent waters like in movies?

Or could it be that the Evil Spirit Mayor was also probing, trying to see if there were any Predators among the living?

"Wait!"

Suddenly, Hu Lu's voice arose amidst the chilling atmosphere.

Wu Hen was about to draw his sword, but he had to pause upon Hu Lu's shout.

"You all must die!" the Evil Spirit Mayor said in a tone reminiscent of a theatrical stage.

"I know your name; you are Mayor Gongsang," Hu Lu excitedly said.

The moment the name was uttered, it acted like some kind of demagnetizing force; the strong sinister wind haunting the library dissipated instantly, and even the black-red water that had seeped into the floor mysteriously vanished.

Hu Lu held a piece of paper in her hand.

From the booklet that had been shredded earlier, one page had flown right onto her cheek.

When she took off this page, she saw it was the cover of the booklet, which bore the name of the library's founder—who was the Mayor of the town.

Hu Lu was also extremely excited; she never dreamed that in this moment of peril, she would be so fortunate, as if divinely protected.

She pronounced the correct name, and the Evil Spirit Mayor, evidently a being that abided by the Law.

"Don't forget what you once said," the Evil Spirit Mayor suddenly pointed at Levi.

"What did I say?" Levi paused, not immediately registering.

The Evil Spirit Mayor's pupils instantly turned into the most terrifying red abyss, so vast it could swallow the entire town.

"It's about building a cemetery for all the victims of this swamp town..." Hu Lu hurriedly said.

"Oh, right, how could I forget that, but only if you can abide by your own law," Levi nodded.

"Calamities do not descend equally upon every living being; the unfortunate have already endured enough suffering. May the fortunate not be blind, not without empathy, remember our names, for it is the way for your enduring survival," the Evil Spirit Mayor stated.

"You're indeed a Mayor, even having become an Evil Spirit, still undertaking such meaningful deeds, thank you for your mercy, thank you for reminding humanity not to be greedy, not to be negligent, not to be ignorant," Levi said.

Outside, there were strands of light.

However, the Evil Spirit Mayor lingered for a moment in the light.

Its eyes no longer stared at those who barely survived in the library, but instead surveyed the dilapidated library in the dawn light.

It was unclear what it was pondering; as a clean ray of sunlight fell at the lectern, the silhouette of the Evil Spirit Mayor finally melted away in the light.

The mottled walls, the bookshelves back in their places, the scattered pages on the floor, and the wood pulp smeared all over the walls... the library finally regained its original tranquility.

Daylight had fully arrived, and the Evil Spirit was finally persuaded to retreat.

Wu Hen lowered his hand from the hilt of his sword, still with several question marks lit in his mind.

Hu Lu beamed the most brilliant smile, feeling like she had accomplished a great feat by invoking the name of the Evil Spirit Mayor at the last moment. Those two short syllables appeared to possess supreme magic power; at that moment, Hu Lu felt as if she had donned the most saintly robe of a Magic Master, chanting the most powerful spell in the world, extinguishing the darkness and welcoming the dawn.

Levi stroked the stubble on his chin, pondering before finally nodding, "I was just saying that our Prison Town lacks something, turns out it's a library. In the future, no matter how scarce the funds are, even within the prison, we should have the cleanest and most abundant library."

The others were still not settled, they just sat on the ground, not having been of any help, yet they had experienced the most authentic and terrifyingly bizarre event.

After a long time, Cheng Liang weakly asked, "Are we really fated travelers, why did a page with our names just fly into our faces?"

"Even Evil Spirits have to follow a process," Wu Hen chuckled and patted his shoulder.

Wu Hen had seen low-level Evil Spirits.

He had also encountered high-level Evil Spirits.

And he had also killed Heaven Light Evil Spirits like Zai Wu.

But this was the first time he encountered an Evil Spirit with high intelligence!

The truly powerful beings of Otherworldly Desert Dust always stayed hidden.

Older's words' value kept rising!

At this moment, Wu Hen understood that the strength she spoke of did not solely refer to martial prowess; as the dinosaurs from the Cretaceous perished, flies managed to survive to this era, thriving within human technological advancements.

...

Evil Spirit Mayor kept his promise; he did not trouble those who survived through the second night.

As the entire town slowly emerged from the swamp, those in the library quickly noticed large swamp flowers blooming...

These flowers bloomed on the deadwood that had merged with the houses previously, nearly covering every house that had been buried by the swamp.

It was as if these deadwoods, nourished by the water of the swamp, had completely rejuvenated overnight; not only did they appear vibrant, but they also blossomed gorgeous flowers. The swamp flowers' hues were different from jungle wildflowers or mountain flora, they were exceptionally clean and vivid after emerging from the mud, their fragrance even overpowering any stench.

"These flowers are Dark Energy condensates," Levi remarked.

"Let's harvest them," Wu Hen suggested.

"Will they bloom again if we come back in a few days?" Cheng Liang asked.

"Are you really brainless?" Levi rebuked immediately.

Cheng Liang looked innocent; he didn't understand what was wrong with his question.

Clearly, the emergence of Dark Energy here was regular; it wasn't a matter of merely digging up the swamp beneath the entire town to gain infinite Dark Energy—that would be the most foolish method of extraction and could cause a collapse of the Dark Energy.

The entire town had many deadwoods, mostly growing intertwined with the houses; to harvest Dark Energy, one had to wait for the town to sink into the black-red swamp water and till the next morning for all deadwood to revive and grow the Dark Energy Condensed Flowers.

That is to say, these Dark Energy Condensed Flowers could be harvested once every two days.

If they built a town nearby, wouldn't it provide a never-ending supply of Dark Energy for harvesting?

Levi had also promised the Evil Spirit Mayor that by constructing a memorial cemetery for their victims, these Evil Spirits would find rest, thus purifying the entire Evil Spirit Town, making this high-producing Dark Energy Swamp Flower Vein accelerate the town's prosperity.

"Notice the tree by the Stone Temple blossoming the most?" Wu Hen remarked to Cheng Liang.

Cheng Liang looked towards the Stone Temple and noticed the Rejuvenation Tree there was the most splendid, releasing a fragrant scent akin to orchids right to their nostrils.

"One human life, one flower."

"For those unfortunate ones who entered this town with us, we shall harvest their soul flowers, thereby freeing them from this land of death and despair."

Levi declared this and scanned the entire town.

Be they wanderers, Lost Ones, or those who evolved to the Infinite Realm, every life ultimately becomes some form of energy, roaming the universe.

...

Leaving Evil Spirit Town, coming out of the magnetic prohibition area, all of Wu Hen's powers returned.

The others' inexplicably disassembled equipment also returned intact.

The bizarre region was hard to explain using common sense; even if you walked out naked, once you crossed the bizarre law area, you were fully armed as before entering.

"These Condensed Flowers, each harbors enormously powerful energy... Are we sure we want to hand them all over?" Hu Lu questioned.

"Prison Director..."

"Call me Chief!"

"Just got word, the Mayor has issued a promotion order—anyone who can solve the energy problem in Steel Eagle City will be directly promoted to Deputy Mayor!" Wang Sheng announced.

Everyone's eyes lit up; the large basket of Swamp Condensed Flowers they had collected was equivalent to all the produce from a Dark Energy mine over the years, enough to restore Steel Eagle City's glory.

"Chief, what's your plan?"

"Call me Mayor!" Levi shouted loudly.
