Chapter 456 Heretic God: Rahi, the Forest Goddess

Indeed, what a coincidence!

But there's nothing wrong with the wax figure itself. It's just a wax figure. After all, many wax museums have wax figures of legendary figures like Lin Ken!

The killer was not a wax figure, nor a ghost, but a pagan god!

Although pagan gods have the word "god" in their names, they are not very powerful. Most pagan gods live off their faith and possess some special abilities. Each pagan god's abilities vary in strength and are generally evil.

Those who believe in pagan gods are nominally believers, but in reality they are just pagan gods' leeks, willingly or being deceived, and then—harvested!

This pagan god comes from the dense forests of the Balkan Peninsula in Eastern Europe. These trees were cut down 30 years ago, and the forests no longer exist.

There is a local legend that the dense forest is guarded by a pagan god named Rahi, a mischievous little god who can transform into anything. He can only be satisfied by sucking the blood of his followers. After draining them dry, he puts a special seed into their stomachs as a kind of ritual.

This Rahi can be considered a tree god, or a forest god.

Her only ability is to transform into the appearance of the person everyone worships. She will die if her head is chopped off with iron. So... the so-called heretical god is really nothing special. To put it bluntly, Rachel's ability is just a 'mutated version' of the transformation technique.

The only difference is that she can sense who the other person admires and then change accordingly.

Like the cursed sports car at the beginning, the real culprit was neither the tycoon's friend nor the cursed car, but because the tycoon worshipped the car and its original owner, Leahy transformed into the original owner of the sports car and killed him.

As for Lin Ken, it's the same.

The person who was killed was a professor who greatly admired Linken, so Leahy transformed into Linken's appearance and killed him.

Sue's interest in Leahy wasn't based on her abilities, but rather on her identity. The identity of a heretic god was certainly worthy of being a collector's item, and what impressed him most was that Leahy had transformed into Hilton's likeness, making that image even more collectible!

(Those who have seen this episode should know who Hilton is: Paris Hilton, who starred in House of Wax with Sam.)

"Let's... let's go. It feels a bit eerie and uncomfortable," Caroline tugged at Su Shi and said hesitantly in a low voice.

"I'll listen to you." Mrs. Su nodded and smiled, glanced at the door in the distance that read "Under renovation, no entry," and turned to leave the wax museum with Caroline.

Outside the wax museum, the sun shone brightly, and the warm sunlight seemed to dispel the chill in Caroline's heart. The discomfort she had felt because of the wax figure of Lin Ken also vanished in the sunlight.

Su accompanied Caroline shopping for a while, bought some small souvenirs, then informed Bonnie and returned to their hotel.

It was a very ordinary hotel with two rooms. One was for Su, and the other for Bonnie and Caroline. Caroline initially thought she would have her own room so it would be easier for her to do whatever she wanted, but Su refused, saying that they could look after each other if they shared a room.

Even so, Caroline didn't actually stay in her own room for long; she spent most of her time in Sue's room.

Sure enough, after returning to the hotel, Caroline didn't go back to her own room at all, but went straight into Su's room.

Half a day later.

"Bang bang bang."

There was a knock on the door, and Caroline went to open it.

Bonnie is back.

"Have you heard?" Bonnie asked as soon as she came in.

"What did you hear?"

"Another case has occurred. Just now, two girls went to the police station to report that their friend had been arrested. You would never guess who arrested her!"

Caroline exclaimed in surprise, "It's not Lin Ken again, is it? Or some other celebrity?"

Bonnie shook her head: "Paris Hilton!"

"Who?" Caroline was taken aback. "Paris Hilton? Are you talking about the person I'm thinking of?"

Bonnie nodded: "It's that socialite."

Caroline exclaimed in surprise, "This is too far-fetched! How could she possibly come to such a small place and kidnap a girl?"

“This time it should be the same as the previous two times, done by the same person or the same thing.” Bonnie looked at Su: “This time the person was taken away, but they might still be alive.”

"So you're planning to give up on finding the murderer yourself?" Su asked with a smile.

Bonnie nodded: "I know you want to train us, but now a life is at stake. Without you, we're helpless and can only continue the investigation. But finding her sooner might save her life. As for training opportunities... I think as long as you're willing, we'll definitely have many opportunities."

Caroline nodded in agreement. She had never been as enthusiastic about exercise as Bonnie, and now that Bonnie had orchestrated a murder, she was even less likely to object.

"How long have we been back?" Su asked Caroline.

Caroline paused, then glanced at the time: "It's been almost two hours."

Su said with a smile, "It seems she went out to commit the crime after we left."

"After we leave? From where? You...you're not talking about the wax museum, are you? The murderer is in the wax museum? Lin Ken's wax figure? Didn't you say there was nothing wrong with the wax figure?" Caroline realized instantly.

Su shook her head speechlessly: "The wax figure is indeed fine, it's just that the murderer happens to be hiding in the wax museum. The murderer is a pagan god named Rahi, the god of the forest, who can transform into the form of anyone he worships, feeds on their blood, and puts a seed in their stomach."

"If your investigation were more thorough and you examined the deceased's body, you should have been able to find this clue."

"Then how do we deal with her?"

"Her weakness is metal weapons; she'll die as long as her head isn't cut off with a metal weapon. Of course, that's the conventional method; if you're strong enough, you can kill her using other methods as well."

The so-called weaknesses are actually prepared for those who cannot be killed by conventional methods, like vampires. They say you can kill them with a wooden stake, but actually you can chop off their heads with something else. Do you see if the vampire dies?

However, cutting off a vampire's head is too difficult for ordinary people. A relatively easier method is to use a wooden stake!

"Chop off my head with an iron tool? I'm going out to buy an axe right now." Bonnie turned and headed out decisively.

Su stopped her and shook her head: "No need. Using iron tools to examine a head is just a method used by ordinary people. As for you... I hope you will use your own abilities to capture her."

"Arrest her?"

Bonnie and Caroline were stunned.

You should know that killing is much easier than capturing.

For two inexperienced newcomers with limited skills, dealing with a supernatural creature for the first time—capturing rather than killing it—was no easy task!

Chapter 457 You are not the first god we have encountered!

Night falls at the wax museum.

Caroline and Bonnie cautiously sneaked in, flashlights in hand, searching nervously for the whereabouts of the heretical god Rachel in the dimly lit exhibition hall.

I didn't feel anything when I came during the day, but now looking at the lifelike wax figures, I feel a strange sense of horror and fear. Anyway, Caroline doesn't dare to stare at the wax figures closely.

Silence, dim lighting, and lifelike wax figures standing all around. When the light from a flashlight shines on their faces, you can't help but feel that they might suddenly blink or grin—it has to be said, it has a very horror movie feel to it.

"Shh—" Bonnie gently nudged Caroline, gesturing for her to look at the door with the sign that read 'Under renovation, no entry'.

Caroline's eyes narrowed, she took a deep breath, and nodded.

Bonnie gripped the doorknob, watched Caroline's somewhat clumsy hand seals, and then suddenly pulled the door open.

The moment the door opened, Caroline rushed in and immediately unleashed a ninjutsu.

"Oh!"

A clone appeared instantly.

Immediately afterwards, a kunai appeared in Caroline's hand 14, and she quickly flashed to the side to observe her surroundings.

Then--

What comes into view is a small forest, surrounded by trees, with a winding stone path leading to a house in the middle of the forest.

A blonde woman stood in front of the house, her arm resting on a pillar beside her, her body slightly turned to the side and her back arched, as if she were posing for a magazine photoshoot.

Paris Hilton—or rather, the heretical god Rachel—was looking at Caroline with a smile, the playful look in her eyes making Caroline feel somewhat embarrassed.

Originally, her strategy, which involved using a clone technique to confuse the enemy while her main body observed the environment and waited for an opportunity to act, was what she and Bonnie had suggested. Now, however, this whole thing made it seem like Caroline was outsmarting her, which not only failed to work but also made her a laughingstock.

While Caroline was feeling awkward, Bonnie had already found the kidnapped girl in a tree.

The girl was unconscious, her breath faint, and she was on the verge of death.

Bonnie used a kunai to cut the ropes, gently lowered the girl down, hesitated for a moment, then got up and went to Caroline's side.

"Hush-hush-"

Suddenly, the kunai in Caroline and Bonnie's hands flew out of their hands uncontrollably.

The two were immediately shocked. At that moment, the heretic god Rachel appeared in front of them in an instant, throwing punches left and right, and knocking Caroline and Bonnie to the ground with a series of blows.

The heretic goddess Rachel tossed her long golden hair with both hands, raised her leg from her high position, and kicked Caroline directly in the face with her red high heel.

"boom!"

Caroline's vision went black, and she fainted.

As for Bonnie?

The heretical god Rachel had already knocked her unconscious with that combination of punches. Well, although she wasn't particularly skilled, her speed and strength were definitely far beyond that of ordinary people. After all, she was a god!

Caroline didn't faint immediately because she had chakra within her body, making her physically stronger than Bonnie!

Well, anyway, Caroline and Bonnie's first battle was rather disastrous. They were knocked unconscious in one move, especially Caroline, who was even kicked by the heretic god Rachel with her high heels.

Although it was a tough fight, this was the real battle for them. Only hitting and never getting hit? Sorry, they didn't have that kind of strength yet, so getting hit and injured was inevitable. This was also the necessary path for them to grow quickly and become independent in the future!

Looking at other ninjas, they all possessed different abilities before becoming ninjas, such as Jessica Hamby, Nagini, Nidi Lesniki, and Ricky Naylor.

Alternatively, even though they are human, they may have some combat experience, such as Olivia Charity.

The rest are ordinary people, but firstly, they are not reckless and have not faced any particularly powerful enemies. Secondly, they are temporarily using ninjutsu and chakra as a means of enhancement or self-defense, and are not too focused on training.

Therefore, it's normal for someone like Caroline, who has chakra but has only recently learned ninjutsu and has no combat experience or experience dealing with supernatural creatures, to get beaten up and injured. She might even die before she even gets started.

The Su family wants ninjas, not princesses. If they need her protection all the time, then she's not the god of ninjas, but a bodyguard and nanny!

Therefore, Su, who had been staying by their side using her teleportation ability, did not offer any help unless their lives were in danger!

The heretic god Rachel tied the unconscious Caroline and Bonnie to a tree, then took out a set of knives. She rubbed her fingernails against the blades, and sparks flew up.

The pagan god Rachel sharpened a knife with her fingernails as she watched Caroline and Bonnie wake up one after the other.

"I'm so glad you woke up in time." The heretic god Rachel chuckled as she looked at Caroline and Bonnie, who were struggling to look at each other. "Because what follows is going to be even more exciting!"
