Rise of the White Dragon

Chapter 383: Serial-Killer, Antichrist?

Renato Lopes received news that shocked him.

He who was trying to turn the page after ending his relationship with his ex-fiancée received the news that she was brutally killed this morning.

Bia de Sousa, Renato’s ex-fiancée, was found dead in a motel room. With her blood, the crucifix design was made on the wall above the bed and she was nailed to the wall while naked, there were several whiplash marks on her body.

It is to be confirmed if she was a victim of the Serial-Killer, Antichrist.

The reason he gets this nickname is that he makes it as if the victim was killed while being possessed. And, one of the characteristics that took that name, was that all victims have a cell phone inside the victim’s private part that makes the same sound when approaching life since next to it, a motion sensor is left programmed to ring.

[God is not here today, priest.]

The voice that came out was a cut of the movie that became famous in 2004, Exorcist – The Beginning.

It didn’t matter if they expected this to happen when approaching or not, it was hard not to be startled, even scared at the time.

This type of situation usually takes time to make the news, at least not that quickly.

However, somehow it already became news and was in almost all tv newspapers and social networks.

Renato was shaken. Although the breakup with his ex-fiancée may have been recent and he was very resentful of her, he still loved her.

‘Raquel…’ Renato looked at the sky and let out a long sigh. He understood that the most affected person in this situation was Bia’s mother.

Despite everything, Raquel as a single mother did everything for her and you could see her love for her daughter. It wouldn’t be strange that in a situation like this, she wouldn’t think about suicide.

Of course, as this, all happened so suddenly, and the news is already in the newspapers, there must already be people close to her, to support her and prevent her from doing something on the spur of the moment and killing herself.

[Ding~ Ding~ Ding~]

A soft and pleasant ring suddenly sounded.

Renato picked up his cell phone and half expected her to call… Taking a deep breath, he answered: “Hello?”

“Renato…” A woman’s tearful and desperate voice came from the other end of the line.

Her voice was like the world had caved in and she was being crushed. In a stagnant, almost incoherent voice, full of sadness and bitterness, she says: “She died… She was murdered! Someone… Ahhh, Renato, what do I do? What should I do?”

Even without being close to her to see it, Renato could imagine that Raquel was ruffling her hair with her eyes full of tears.

Renato said softly to her: “I’m here. I am listening to you.”

Although they were simple words. Raquel seemed to have unleashed all her sadness and cried more, however, she seemed more lucid when she said in her tearful voice: “Bia was brutally murdered by a damn psychopath! Ahhh! Because? Why does someone like that exist? And why would you do this to my daughter?”

“Where are you?” Renato asked. He tried to be as smooth as possible. However, even for him, it was difficult to contain the anger he felt.

The pain and resentment Raquel felt were transmitted to him.

“Hospital…Regional.” Raquel responded automatically.

After receiving the news, she fainted and an ambulance from Samu appeared and took her to the hospital. When she woke up again, she was in a hospital bed. Naturally, when she thought about the news she received about her daughter, she thought it was just a horrible nightmare, however, to her sadness, it was such a cruel, stark reality.

And, the way she knew it wasn’t just a nightmare, was that her daughter’s death made the news, even the staff who were told not to let her know the news of her daughter’s tragic death for a while, but unfortunately, she ended up seeing a report talking about her daughter on the hospital television screen when she went to the bathroom. Although the sound was muted, she relieved every word spoken by the officer who called her and almost fainted again.

“Wait for me,” Renato told her.

“Mm,” Raquel responded with a low sobbing murmur.

It wasn’t Renato’s day off, everyone was training on the island as usual, but he excused himself.

At this point, they’ve already heard about Renato’s breakup. Even some of them have already seen the news of his ex-fiancée’s death. Although he didn’t say so, it was possible to link his request for leave with the fact that his ex-fiancée was brutally murdered by a possible Serial-Killer.

By ‘lucky’ he wasn’t inside the tower. Although he considers it lucky since he liked Raquel and wanted to be close to help her in whatever way possible, he knew he couldn’t do much since he doesn’t have any miraculous powers that would bring the dead back to life.

Although he couldn’t bring anyone back to life, he was already considered the country’s elite. As a member of the Elite Squad led by Luan Dimas’ best friend, he had plenty of resources. It was a matter of minutes before he arrived with a pair of metallic wings on his back.

Although the supernatural has already become something commonplace. The arrival of a man flying at the entrance to the hospital drew a lot of attention.

However, Renato was not in the mood to satisfy these people’s curiosity and went straight to the counter and said he was there to see a patient.

Upon arriving in front of the room Raquel was in, Renato recognized some people who were sitting on wooden benches outside the room in the hospital corridor.

There were two sisters and a brother of Raquel.

However, none of them were particularly close to Rachel. Although he started in the Elite Squad and was highlighted because of the changes that came to pass, they tried to approach Raquel and Bia because of this.

However, they were worse than vipers. When Raquel chose to raise Bia alone, to be a single mother, they all criticized her in different ways. And, after Renato broke off his engagement to Bia, they went back to looking down on them and talking very badly behind their backs.

Obviously, the reason Raquel doesn’t allow them in is that she knows them very well, and they knew that even in moments like this, they wouldn’t have the slightest bit of empathy and could say things that could make her even worse.

Renato looked at them, but he didn’t say a single word. He never liked them and by Raquel’s reaction to leaving them outside, you can imagine the treatment they did to her and Bia after his relationship with Bia ended.

“Renato…”

Raquel’s brother, Mauro tried to speak with a fawning smile, however, he was received by a cold look that made him start to sweat and sit back down as if tons had been placed on top of him.

Renato knocked softly on the door: “Raquel, it’s me.”

The door suddenly opened and like a rocket ball, a woman hugged him tightly while crying.
