"Perhaps you should tell me first, why do you want his home address?" The proprietress was obviously tempted by the money in his hand, but she suppressed her greed and asked one more question.
Shane shrugged. "I took a fancy to an antique pistol of his. The price was already agreed upon, but he was a bit reluctant to part with it, or rather, didn't believe I could treat it well. So he deliberately made things difficult for me. If I want to buy it, I can only visit his house, but he didn't tell me the address."
"Mr. Elkins can indeed be very stubborn sometimes."
The proprietress looked at Shane for several seconds, seeming to confirm he wasn't lying. Only then did she take out paper and pen and write down Elkins' address.
"Thanks."
Shane put the money on the table, put away the address written by the proprietress, stood up, and left the bar with Jo.
Coming out of the bar and getting into the car, Jo slowly started the car and asked, suppressing her excitement and agitation, "Are there really vampires in this small town? How are we going to find these vampires? Also, do I need to prepare some weapons?"
Shane recalled the plot of this episode. There were too many kinds of supernatural creatures in Supernatural. It was almost one monster per episode. Vampires were not considered mainstream at all. Even among the many types of vampires (in fiction), the vampires in Supernatural weren't mainstream.
"Crosses can't harm them. Sunlight can't kill them. Staking them in the heart can't kill them either. The only directly effective way to kill them is to chop off their heads. Why? Are you going to prepare a few fire axes?"
Jo said in surprise, "They won't stand still and let me chop off their heads. Is there no other way to deal with them?"
"Dead man's blood can weaken them."
Shane could only say, worthy of Supernatural. Even the weakest vampires in it were stronger than mainstream vampires. Anna was chased by Camille because of the daylight ring. Camille sent her men everywhere to get the daylight ring. But the vampires in Supernaturalnext door were born unafraid of sunlight. Tell me, isn't that maddening?
Not only were they not afraid of sunlight, but they were also not afraid of silver!
Perhaps because of this, the number of vampires in Supernatural was particularly small. Especially in this episode, the Winchester brothers learned about vampires for the first time because their father, John, thought Elkins and other hunters had already exterminated the vampires.
After all, their weakness was quite obvious—they were actually afraid of dead man's blood.
Are vampires afraid of dead man's blood because it's not fresh and will give them a stomach ache?
Jo asked hesitantly, "Are we going to find dead man's blood?"
"No."
Shane shook his head, activated the Byakugan, increased the visual range, and let Jo pick a direction to drive toward a remote place.
He remembered that in the TV show, the nest of this group of vampires was in an abandoned farm. As long as Jo drove far enough, his Byakugan could find the vampires' nest in the vast night and dense forest. As long as a vampire appeared in his field of vision, he could discover it immediately.
This group of vampires lived in a pack of 8-10. The young ones would be sent out to find food, bringing the spoils back to their nest to bleed them for days to weeks. Elkins in the TV show was discovered dead at home so quickly, even making the newspapers, purely because the female vampire responsible at the time wanted to please the male vampire leader.
It was normal for Elkins not to trust or believe Shane. These old hunters trusted almost no one but themselves. They wouldn't and weren't used to leaving everything for others to decide. Just like the Winchester brothers' father, John. His educational method was: I tell you what to do, you do it. Don't ask why, because I'm definitely right. Dean, who obeyed him, was fine, but Sam, who was more autonomous and independent, couldn't accept his method. After finally finding their dad, they argued constantly because of this difference.
"Jo, stop the car."
On the dim highway, Shane spoke suddenly.
Jo stepped on the brake. "Found them?"
"Turn into the fork ahead. Drive for about two minutes, and you can see an abandoned farm. There are ten vampires inside. I'll go in first; you follow. If you perform well, I'll leave one for you to practice on." Shane opened the door and got out with a smile.
The Executioner's Blade (Kubikiribōchō), which he usually didn't have much chance to use, was extracted by Shane and carried on his shoulder. He leaped toward the forest by the roadside. Soon, under the moonlight, on the tree branches, an agile figure moved rapidly and quickly disappeared from Jo's sight.
"..."
Whether it was the suddenly appearing huge sword or this way of moving, it gave Jo a feeling like dreaming. Although she had accepted that Shane possessed various magical abilities, every time she still felt it was magical and incredible. Why could this ability called Chakra Ninjutsu do things that completely defied human and even supernatural common sense?
