Chapter 19: Descendants

In the warehouse on the L-shaped inside the Grand House, the second floor is Benjamin's apartment. Maybe it's a room with no walls, no doors, and a lot of room with a big bed and a few rattan chairs and some wooden cabinets, but it's the only place in the Grande House that has an ordinary atmosphere.

Because it was originally a barn-like building, completely wooden, the werewolves dug out huge windows on all sides, and the ground was covered with dry straw, the complete opposite of the gloomy and cold in the Grande House. Of course, the most important thing is that Benjamin has many photographs, framed in wood, placed on the table and hung on the wall. Different tall and athletic men and women with healthy muscular lines in small vests, posing with Benjamin.

It's like the home of an ordinary veteran, warm and secure.

At this time, two women were sitting on Benjamin's bed.

"I'm so jealous of you. Louise took a brush in her hand, smeared some blush in her makeup case, and brushed it on Alice's cheeks: "You have the perfect cheekbones!

"Really?" Alice held a small mirror, looking at herself in the mirror, she couldn't tell if she had become beautiful or ugly, after all, the sixteen-year-old banshee had never established the right aesthetic.

"I don't need to lie to you. Louise straightened the banshee's face and nodded in satisfaction, "Okay." You can ask Benjamin. ”

Alice jumped out of bed, rushed to the guardrail, leaned forward, and shouted at the werewolf below who was actually 'scratching' a square stone tablet, "Benjamin!

"It's a little ......early for your age," Benjamin said, looking up, a fluffy finger with sharp, conical toenails resting on the stele, white marble edges, intricate patterns, and first sights.

"Ah......" Benjamin opened his mouth, and honestly, before today, he had never thought Alice was pretty. Nails pierced the corners of the marble, and several cracks spread from the upper right corner of the stele: "Very beautiful, Alice is beautiful now." ”

"Really?" Alice became a little shy after the surprise, and ran up the stairs with her hands on the guardrail, "I'll show Zack!"

Benjamin casually pushed the broken stele away, brought another stone, and said with a smile, "He's still in the office." ”

"Oh. Alice's hurried footsteps stopped, and she silently turned and walked back.

"Let's go to Old Hank!" Louise pulled Alice a little disappointed and walked down the stairs to the back of the warehouse.

Behind the warehouse, where pyramid-shaped logs and cut planks were placed, old Hank was holding a knife and carving something into the coffin that had already taken shape.

Kim was here too, but old Hank seemed to dislike King's clumsiness and wouldn't let him near the workbench, giving him a planer to sharpen the board next to him......

"Alice?" Kim found the girl next to Louise, her originally stiff and sunken face became soft and full, but her restrained appearance was still there.

"Hmph, pretty woman!" snorted old Hank, "no matter how beautiful your face is, you have to work!, Alice, come and help!"

Hank is a weird old man, and apart from throwing tantrums and driving away guests, he never has a good word for pretty women.

So Alice was relieved now, took Louise's hand and whispered thank you, ran briskly to Hank, took the carpentry knife handed by Hank, and carved it.

It's time to tell the truth. The most important person in the House of Grande is not the vampire Zach, not the werewolf Benjamin, but the banshee Alice. She takes care of the kitchen, cleans, apprentices Hank, and groomes corpses...... Now everyone knows where her lack of aesthetics comes from......

Kim put down the planer and beckoned to Louise, "Louise, can we talk?"

"Okay. Louise had nothing to do for a moment, and followed Kim into the distance.

"Louise. Jin looked around, made sure that no one was paying attention to this side, lowered his voice, and asked, "Wait for this qiΔ“ to pass, the shapeshifter or something." What are your plans?"

"Me?" Louise shook her head, "I don't know, I haven't thought about it yet." ”

Kim was a little surprised, this clever woman did not have the slightest vigilance, and continued to ask, "Aren't you afraid? I mean, you and I, we are human beings." And they, they're ......" Kim tried to use words that weren't very offensive, but after thinking for a moment, he found nothing but 'monster', "Anyway, you don't want to live here forever, do you?"

Louise thought for a moment, "Hank, Hank is just an ordinary old man." ”

"Ugh. Kim frowned, Hank ignored the werewolf's fluffy fingers and the vampire's 'wine glass', the only explanation was that Zach used his red eyes to control him, "Red eyes, Louise, you know that Zack's red eyes twist your will!"

"I know. Louise finally had an expression on her face and sighed, "But even if he doesn't, I'll stay here." At least I don't want to be eaten by the aliens, he can protect me. Louise looked at Kim suspiciously, "Why are you asking me this? As far as I know, weren't you also attacked by aliens? ”

Kim sensed a hint of resistance in Louise's tone, and it was King's own fault. As Louise says, he is also a weak party in front of the aliens, and working with vampires is just a different way of seeking refuge. In such a situation, he is not in a position to criticize Louise for trusting vampires.

"I'm sorry, it's my fault. Kim frowned, "I'm just ......" Kim thought about how to say, "This morning, when Benjamin and I went to the North End, he told me something, I just thought, you should know!"

"What's the matter?" Louise asked, Kim wasn't a nuisance man, so Louise decided to hear what he had to say.

Benjamin said, maybe, just maybe, Zach will turn you into his offspring. ”

Louise raised her eyebrows: "How did I become his descendant?"

......

Now, please think about such a question. How do you know the process by which a vampire makes another vampire? Let me listen, oh! It's all 'conventional' stuff, TV, the Internet、...... Okay, I hear you.

Let me turn on the ten-inch TV in Zack's room on the second floor of the Grande House, well, the housewife in the apron is teaching everyone how to make cakes, the stand-up comedy, the woman with the waterfall head is reporting the news, and the pregnant woman is undressing in front of the priest...... No, no vampires make offspring.

Web, you must be referring to the cobwebs in the corner of the basement of the Grande House. When I asked it that question, it gave me an uninteresting look.

, this can have. It's what I use now, and Zach bought and gave me for a hundred or so typewriters. Maybe I should remind Zach that he's running out of ink.

I think I expressed my opinion.
