Ryan closed the car door and walked to the front yard, which was full of joy not long ago. The street lamp lengthened Ryan's shadow. Instead of stepping into other people's private land, he walked along the wooden fence to the side of the single family house. His pale fingers moved along the fence, and the slight friction sound stirred the creatures who showed their signs in the night.
The vampire's tusks slowly lengthened, and the slight shock that pierced the air announced that the master was about to appear at night.
Two shapeshifters and one shadowman. Ryan gently pressed his finger on the protruding fangs, punctured the skin, and a drop of red blood clotted on his finger.
"Let's get rid of the attached shadowman first." Ryan thought, after all, looking at that shaky body, once the shadowman is separated from the entity, it will be difficult to find it.
"May I help you, sir?" Ryan smiled and hugged the slowly moving tramp. His blood stained hand inadvertently pressed on the tramp's waist. The extended sharp fingertips of his fingertips pierced the tramp's dirty and worn coat. His fragile skin and muscles were directly pierced, and the vampire's blood was sent into the tramp's body!
"You! You..."
The tramp's side head, the dirty pupil showed the sharp teeth in the crooked corners of the vampire's mouth! Black rolled in his eyes.
Ryan put his other hand on the tramp's open mouth: "no, no, no, you, stay inside. Don't think about it. If you're attached to someone else and escape, I will be very upset."
The black in the eyes of the tramp was rolling more violently! But his body was firmly fixed by the vampire! At the neck where the veins burst, it vibrated and swelled, as if something was bound in it and wanted to break through!
"I think this body should thank you." Ryan controlled the struggling tramp with both hands, but his eyes drifted to the two men covered in their hat pockets between the houses: "if there were no your attachment, maybe he would be dead now. Do you know why ghosts always think they are more noble than your shadowmen? Because you can only look for the attachment of dying people."
Two hooded men who were hiding by the window to spy on the scene inside the house had noticed this, and they stared here warily.
Ryan smiled at them and continued to say to something in the tramp's body: "this is really a lucky man. The shadowman continued his life for several days, and then met me and got vampire blood that can cure all injuries."
The two shapeshifters seemed to hear Ryan's words, looked at each other in surprise, and turned back into the darkness.
"Hey." Ryan sighed sadly: "why do you want to run? After meeting an opponent who knows he is stronger than himself, running away will never have a good result."
The tramp in Ryan's arms struggled to weaken, and the black in his eyes gradually faded. The vampire then looked back at the man in his arms: "sorry, I was a little distracted just now. Where did I just say? By the way, you see, the man you are attached to is a completely healthy human being. We all know your end. So, goodbye."
The black completely disappeared, revealing a pair of confused blue eyes.
Ryan completely released his arms around the tramp, patted the soiled clothes, and looked at the tramp with a red light in his eyes: "Sir, even if it is spring, you still need to wear more clothes. Otherwise you will still be frozen to death, remember?"
"Yes." The homeless man with confused eyes nodded at Ryan.
"Well, now get out of here and take a bath somewhere! You stink!" Ryan frowned.
"OK, put on more clothes and take a bath." The tramp nodded and turned away.
Ryan looked at a large, unidentified stain in front of him and shook his head. Vampires don't like mess. He decided to vent his unhappiness on two aliens!
The shadow stretched by the street lamp suddenly disappeared, and the sound of the corners of the clothes beating on the wooden fence was excluded from the street by the lighted houses.
Ryan appeared behind a shapeshifter like a ghost, with his right hand stretched out and the fingertips of his four fingers against the shapeshifter's neck.
Zap!
Four sharp, blood stained spikes pierce directly under the shapeshifter's chin. The vampire's red eyes were like two hidden fires in the night!
Ryan moved his right hand sideways and his extended arm crosses 90 degrees. Beheading was one of the universal killing methods discovered by human beings in the middle ages.
The blood stains were thrown out, but in the night, I couldn't see the color of the splashing liquid!
Another hurried step stopped suddenly! The sound of falling sounded, and the friction between the soles of shoes and clothes and the cold ground came out: "no! No! We don't know this city is a place for vampires! We just came here!"
"Us?" Ryan took out a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped the blood from his fingertips. Shapeshifter is a cold-blooded animal. Ryan doesn't like it. "Who are we?" he asked blandly.
"I, I..." shapeshifter seemed even more alarmed: "we are nothing! We are just oppressed little characters! Please! I will tell everyone that this is your territory! Let's leave now!"
"Tell everyone? And leave?" Ryan stops wiping.
"Yes! Yes! I will tell everyone! This is the city of vampires! We will leave! There is no one left!" Shapeshifter seemed to have found a chance to survive. Instead of going backwards, he proped up his body and crawled in front of Ryan.
Ryan looked down at the reptile in the ground: "everyone, what do you mean?"
"I, I know about a dozen..." shapeshifter said tremblingly.
Ryan paused for a while and looked at the full moon in the East. "If I let you go, can you only leave with a dozen people?"
Shapeshifter immediately made a nervous interface: "no, no! I can spread the message and let everyone know you are here! Everyone will leave voluntarily!"
"Yes." Ryan squated down, raises shapeshifter's chin with four fingers, and smiled at the nervous shapeshifter: "you are a smart guy. But..."
The hope that just appeared in shapeshifter's eyes solidified in Ryan's disappearing smile.
The vampire repeated the previous action, and the handkerchief of his left hand covered the fingertip of his right hand again.
Ryan's education was an ancient noble education, so he knew that when he wanted to talk to people, he must look into each other's eyes. So Ryan turned his head sideways, turned to the head thrown aside, and said to his eyes full of hope, "but I don't want anyone to know I'm here."
Now, we know why Ryan lied to James in front of Anthony. Because 'Lance'. James lance, because of his surname, connected him to the outside of Porto. For Ryan, James is an uncontrolled 'K'. He can let Ryan hold down the weeds in Porto and continue his peaceful life. It can also lead to 'A' that makes Ryan need to run away again.
Ryan can't risk letting anyone know that he, a toreador, lives in Porto, the westernmost city in the Federation!
As we all know, I am a curious person, so I always ask Ryan some questions that will lead to death.
One day, I asked, "why can't different races live well together, and there must be hierarchy? For example, why do werewolves and vampires hate each other? Shapeshifters are always hated by other races. There are also ghosts like shadow people and phantom people, which have no entities, but have to be graded..."
"You have asked too many questions. Which one do you want me to answer?" Ryan asked kindly.
"Oh." I unconsciously thought about it, put aside a bunch of questions before, and asked the most interested one: "why did 'Toreador' become the weakest clan among vampires?"
"Do you think I'm weak?" Ryan was more friendly.
I was overdrawing my luck: "yes, you were the only one who was destroyed by the other twelve clans?"
"Well, what you said is very reasonable." Ryan nodded. "Now, I'm hungry."

(if you are interested, you can search the thirteen vampire clans. Ryan is one of the seven clans of the secret party. they like to talk to people, and like' beauty 'and art. Although he do not follow this setting completely, he borrows most of his features. This setting is a little too many. It is difficult to use' I 'in the text, so he has to put it in brackets.)
