Chapter 279 Ghoul Suspicion

In order to avoid Xili being too excited and delaying his business, Xin Sheng and Natiya were responsible for taking on Geralt's task.

The process of guiding Geralt into the city was very smooth.

Since the sewer is filled with stench and monsters all year round, the temple guards will never enter it unless necessary.

The witch hunter was busy doing a large-scale cleaning in the city at this time and had no time to get into the sewer to catch the goblins.

When passing by the ghoul nest that the three of them cleaned yesterday, the old white wolf still recognized the smell of ghoul in the stinky sewer.

"How can ghouls eat here?"

Unlike Xin Sheng and Natiya, who are still rookies, Geralt noticed an abnormality at the first time.

"You said that..."

Xin Sheng has rich theoretical knowledge, but because he has been in contact with witch hunters for a short time, he cannot compare with old witch hunters such as Geralt in terms of experience.

Geralt's questions made Xin Sheng react.

Ghoul, as the name suggests, is a monster that feeds on corpses, and is not limited to humans.

They usually only appear in areas with more corpses, such as cemeteries, ancient battlefields, etc.

Although there are animals such as mice in the sewer, this amount of food is not enough for the entire ghoul group to eat, let alone the leading ghoul group.

Last night, Xin Sheng and the other two did not conduct a detailed investigation into the ghoul's nest.

Under Geralt's leadership, the three of them thoroughly investigated the ghoul's nest and found a large number of human skeletons as expected.

"Someone throws body into the sewer for a long time?"

Xin Sheng looked up thinking about it and saw a sewer exit above the ghost's nest.

Geralt ignored the tragic situation at the scene and found a metal object that had not been swallowed from the pile of bones.

"This is……"

Xin Sheng and Natiya approached Geralt, and Xin Sheng recognized the original form of the metal object full of tooth marks.

"A hammer for ironwork?"

Geralo nodded: "It should be that the hammer handle may have been swallowed by a ghoul."

Xin Sheng held his chin and pondered: "Is there a blacksmith who died here?"

After shook his head and put his random guess aside, Xin Sheng took the broken hammer head from Geralt and put it into the space ring.

"Now is not the time to go deeper. Let's leave first, remember this position, and come and verify it in detail when you have time."

...

"Gealt!"

As Xin Sheng and Natiya expected, when they finally saw Geralt who had been missing for a long time again, Xiri was very excited.

Under Geralt's confusing gaze, Cili rushed up and hugged his adoptive father.

"You're finally back, I thought..."

"Well!"

The moment he contacted Ciri, a series of unformed scenes flashed through Geralt's mind.

He covered his forehead in pain, and his feet were a little unstable.

Feeling Geralt's center of gravity change, Xili, immersed in joy, was awakened and hurriedly held the shaking white wolf and helped him sit down.

Geralt's eyes were a little distracted when he looked at Cili, as if he was sorting out the messy information that suddenly appeared in his mind.

"Xi…ri?"

Cili held Geralt's hand and nodded quickly: "It's me! Have you remembered it?"

"A little bit."

Geralt rubbed his temples hard, and waited until the headache gradually eased before he let out a breath.

"I remembered something, but the recovered memory was too fragmented and lacked some puzzles."

Xin Sheng guessed: "Maybe, some of Geralt's remaining memories need to be found in Yen Fat to recover?"

"Yennefa..."

The name made Geralt's forehead suck again. He vaguely remembered that this was a person who was very important to him, but he couldn't remember the specific related memories at all.

"Don't force yourself."

Cili half-kneeled in front of Geralt and comforted: "We will find Yennefa, or she may find us on the initiative."

Xin Sheng didn't know what Geralt's amnesia was.

Through contact with Xili, he restored most of the memories related to Xili, but some details remained as blurred as watching flowers in the fog.

"I remember……"

Geralt tried hard to recall: "I was being chased by wild hunters before I lost my memory. I can't remember what happened."

This answer is nothing different from Xin Sheng's speculation.

A cold light flashed in Cili's eyes: "It's a wild hunt again, Arretin...I have another reason to destroy you."

Xin Sheng explained to Geralt in detail the reason why they resided in Novigre.

"Are you ripping the wild hunt from the inside...a good idea."

Geralt patted Cili on the shoulder and encouraged, "Come on, I believe you can."

Cili heard the farewell from Geralt's words, and she raised her head in surprise and asked, "You're just here and leaving?"

Geralt nodded quietly and said, "My memory has not been fully restored. Perhaps the Yennefa in your mouth is the last puzzle that prompted me to restore my memory. I want to find her whereabouts."

Xiri hurriedly expressed: "Then I'll go too..."

"No."

Geralt held down Ciri's words and said earnestly: "You stay in Novigri and wait for news from that elf sage."

"Sin's judgment should be correct. The arrogant Al Ain has no good impression of humanity. The reason why Avarak is willing to help us is, on the one hand, for the future of race, and on the other hand, because of your existence."

"So, you have to stay at Novigrey and wait to get in touch with him."

Xin Sheng thought about it for a while and said, "Then let's do it, we two groups of people act separately."

"Gealt's memory has not been restored yet, so it's best if someone can follow him and give some tips at critical moments."

"Natya, you and Xili have worked together for two years and have developed a good understanding. You will accompany Xili to stay in Novigri and wait for things to change."

"I went south with Regelot and continued to search for Yennefa's whereabouts."

Natiya scratched her head and asked, "But didn't you promise Sylvie to help her revive the White Rose Knights?"

"Or, I'll follow Geralt and you can stay with Xiri?"

Xin Sheng hurriedly shook his head and rejected: "There is no need for this. The plan I made for Bai Qiangwei is based on the premise of defeating the wild hunter. Before the wild hunter appears, it is meaningless for me to stay in Novigre."

‘With Geralt’s unconventional pile driver nature, it’s okay to let you act with him…’

The other three people didn't know Xin Sheng's true thoughts, and his distribution and explanation were logically reasonable.

The distribution of the two groups was decided like this.

Natiya and Xiri continued to stay in Novigri and waited for news about Avarak, and Xiri, who had no witch hunter characteristics, went out to inquire about information.

Xin Sheng followed Geralt to return to Temolia to find clues about Yennefa.

To be on the safe side, Xin Sheng asked Dahuang to stay by Natiya's side, and through the system's transfer, Natiya and Dahuang signed a temporary contract.

In this way, Natiya can connect the vision between Hawkeye and Rhubarb and follow Xili in another way, and can help Xili, who is in danger, take on some combat tasks at any time.

“By the way.”

Before leaving, Xin Sheng took out the hammer of unknown origin from the space ring.

"Natya, Xiri, while ensuring safety, you can try to start investigating this hammer."

"Intuition tells me that this hammer is related to an important event. If you find out its origin, it may provide some help to your subsequent actions at Novigre."
