Journey to Infinity from the Witcher

Rowes Village, central area.

Shrouded in light black mist, the sky became darker and darker.

It was still sunny outside at noon, and the visibility here was only equivalent to winter dusk after the sun sets outside.

The light black mist here seems to have substance, floating in the air.

Wisps and strands, wet and sticky, sticking to the exposed skin of the face and hands, burning and stinging.

This place is basically considered a place of death for ordinary people!

When ordinary people come here, their skin will soon be severely burned and rotten.

From the internal organs to the external limbs and five senses, they will be burned and rotted, and they will eventually die in extremely painful ways.

Most demon hunters are reluctant to approach such a dense miasma area.

"It's almost here..."

Geralt looked around again and stopped.

Geralt of Lovis Village visited once a few years ago, and he still has some impressions of it.

"Although I have just said it, I will say it again now."

"This is the center of Lowes Village. I estimate that the original source of the plague may have been nearby."

"We might find some clues, but we might not find anything."

"But this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that you should pay attention to your own safety."

"The degree of miasma here is much stronger than that of Basai Village and the outside areas. It can even be said to be the place where I have encountered the worst plague and the strongest miasma in so many years."

"The strength of the monsters that dare to stay here may be more difficult to deal with than some of the monsters outside."

"Think about the Plague Banshee we encountered before. That monster liked this kind of place the most."

"Still as before, act separately. While searching for monsters, pay attention to anything suspicious that can be related to the plague. If you can't identify it yourself, notify others."

"The search ranges of each should not be too far away from each other, so as not to call for help in time when encountering danger. Please pay attention to this."

"Okay, that's basically all. Do you have anything to say?"

Geralt asked in a deep voice.

"No."

Xina shook her head.

"This...is this how to identify things related to the plague?"

"Like what?"

Gordon thought for a moment and asked.

Before he traveled through time, he was engaged in catering. Cooking, drinking, chatting and bragging, and general health care were his strengths.

This is his first time being an investigator like Sherlock Holmes, especially since he is looking for something related to the source of the plague, so it would be better to ask more clearly.

Seeing Gordon asking, Geralt pondered for a while, and then said, "Gordon asked a good question."

"I just ignored it."

"This must be the first time for Xina to do this, so I'll just tell you a little bit."

"Now that more than half a month has passed since the outbreak of the plague, it is definitely impossible to directly find the real source behind the plague."

"But as long as it is a premeditated plan, it will definitely leave some traces."

"Such traces may be some paper letters recording relevant information or plans, or they may be some used suspicious clothes, suspicious items, or even some seriously infected corpses. These are all possible."

"You need to identify these carefully. Anyway, keep your eyes sharp."

"Any other questions?"

After Geralt finished speaking, he asked again.

"No."

"there is none left!"

Gordon and Hina shook their heads.

"Okay, let me tell you one last thing. The plague miasma here is too strong, and the "Ogre Physique" potion will not last long, so don't save it."

"Also, be careful of all the monsters here."

"That's it, let's get started..."

As Geralt said that, he immediately turned around and went into the hut behind him. Sheena quickly ran into a house not far away.

Gordon looked around, and finally his eyes rested on a large church-like spire-shaped building slightly farther away.

Last time, he met an adult human-faced demon bird in a large house that resembled an unfinished house on the periphery.

The monster's final bounty commission plus the money from the sale of the body gave Gordon a total of twenty-two gold coins. However, Geralt and Sheena were extremely envious, and Gordon could not forget the envious looks they had.

I hope I still have this kind of luck today.

It was dark, and Gordon walked quickly and carefully on the path.

The night is no longer a problem for Gordon, whose physique has been strengthened to LV5. Gordon looks like day.

But the difference is that everything seen at night is only black and white in Gordon's eyes. The only difference is that the colors are different shades.

This is not just the case for Gordon, almost all creatures that rely on their own night vision see the dark world like this.

Wisps of mist-like miasma kept clinging to Gordon, and the burning and tingling sensations from his exposed face and hands kept reminding Gordon that at the same time, it was also easy to distract people.

No wonder Geralt told him not to save the "Ogre Constitution" potion just before they left.

Without the blessing of the magic potion, Gordon, Geralt, and Sheena would not be able to stand it if they stayed here for a little longer.

This is why demon hunters are reluctant to approach such a miasma-rich place easily.

Soon, Gordon quickly arrived at the gate of this huge church-like spire-shaped building.

The huge and extremely thick wooden door was tightly closed and looked very old. The copper ring on the door was severely rusted. I don't know if it was originally like this or if it was invaded by miasma.

Gordon put his hand on the thick wooden door and started to exert force.

"Ka...ka ka..."

The extremely harsh sound of the door opening echoed far away in the deathly silence.

Gordon slightly pushed open a space for himself to enter and exit, and then stopped immediately.

Then he quickly ducked into the gate, and the path soon fell into dead silence again.

Underfoot is the ground of hard compacted soil, with a large number of stones and slabs of similar shapes and sizes spread in the middle, forming a series of strange and inexplicable patterns.

Gordon looked up and saw that the hall in front of him was huge and empty, with a large and abrupt stone platform standing in the center, similar to an altar building.

Apart from this, there are almost no other large items in the entire hall, not even a table or chair.

The whole hall looks empty, weird, and clean.

Yes, it’s clean!

In this large house, except for the stone altar in the center, there was only thick dust on the ground, a large number of dry leaves, and a few mummified corpses of cats, mice, birds, and unknown small animals.

No, these corpses in front of us can no longer be called mummies, because the corpses have completely turned black and are constantly decaying.

Only the shape of the corpse before death can be vaguely seen as it began to decay after a long time of death. This should also be the result of the plague miasma.

Even so, Gordon also felt that this hall was cleaner than the other houses and rooms in the two plague villages that Gordon had visited.

Perhaps this was once a place where some kind of church organization gathered to worship.

But now it has long been dilapidated and has been covered in dust for a long time.

Gordon walked slowly in the empty hall, splashing a lot of dust with every step he took.

Soon, when Gordon walked to the altar, dust was already floating in the air behind him and lingered for a long time.

The altar in front of me, which is made up of a single huge stone, seems a bit rough. Except for the extremely conspicuous stone statue of a human head in the center of the altar, which is carved extremely delicately and lifelike, there are no other patterns visible on the altar.

The entire altar is a bit too simple.

In addition, the stone statue in the center of the altar in front of you is also a bit strange.

Generally, the faces and facial features of statues are carved into various shapes in order to express certain emotions or beliefs. Basically, they are carved to look like they have their eyes open.

Even if they are deliberately carved into the state of closing their eyes, they are very rare.

But the eyes of the statue in front of him were carved into a half-open state, with the eyes half-open and closed, the eyelids drooping, and the expression half-smiling but not smiling, which was extremely weird.

No matter which direction you look at it, the statue in front of you looks very strange.

It seems as if the statue is always staring at the people who appear in its sight and smiling slyly.

On Earth, Gordon has always believed that money makes people courageous.

But in this world, Gordon considers strength.

When Gordon first came to this world, he felt a little intimidated even going to the next wine cellar.

Until now, he dares to enter any place, dare to attack any kind of monster, and even chooses haunted places to crawl into.

This is the incomparable self-confidence of one's own strength.

However, looking at the strange statue in front of him, Gordon felt a little uncomfortable, a little afraid, and a little uneasy.

There was obviously nothing around him, but Gordon felt as if he was in an ice cellar, and his whole body began to get cold.

"No, something is wrong..."

"I want to get out of here..."

Gordon's thoughts suddenly became clear, but he found that his eyes could not leave the statue in front of him, as if he was being sucked.

Gordon wanted to turn around, but found that his whole body seemed to be frozen, and he didn't obey his orders at all.

Fear began to spread throughout Gordon's body.

At this moment, the half-opened and closed eyelids of the strange statue that Gordon was staring at began to tremble faintly, as if there were signs of opening.

At this moment, Gordon felt that his scalp was numb and the hairs all over his body were standing on end.

The next second.

The terrifying statue suddenly opened its eyes and grinned strangely at Gordon.

"ah..."

Gordon screamed!

Only then did I realize that I could move.

However, there are no altars or strange statues anywhere in front of me... The surroundings are all covered in gray, and it is impossible to see clearly even from two to three meters away.

"Where is this?"

Gordon looked around, his face quickly darkening.
