Vampires.
Or rather, Vampires.
They are actually a race with many weaknesses.
They fear the sun, Silver, garlic, and crosses, and their only food is blood. If they don't drink blood for a long time, they will fall into a deep slumber, their bodies gradually mummifying until one day, if blood falls on them, there's a slight chance of awakening.
If becoming a Vampire wasn't one of the easiest ways to gain eternal life, the Vampires probably wouldn't even count as a second-tier force; at most, they'd be third or fourth-tier.
The Vampires' reputation among the common folk is prominent, but this is mainly because the Vampires are rich, extremely rich. So, those wealthy individuals who converted into Vampires have been hiring internet trolls to promote how powerful, terrifying, and mysterious the Vampires are.
This gives ordinary people the misconception that Vampires are a first-tier force, truly believing that offending a Vampire means certain death.
In reality, all five major nations possess the strength to easily suppress Vampires. Additionally, there are some transcendent forces occupying many small nations that also have the ability to crush Vampires.
Vampires have survived to this day not because they are powerful, but because… they are sensible.

Originally, Yu Xian thought joining Kirin would be difficult, or that he would need to undergo various tests.
However, the next day, Jin Sheng placed his credentials, a gun, and a special mobile phone in front of him.
Jin Sheng looked at Yu Xian, suppressing a smile, and said seriously, "From now on, you are a member of the Evil Extermination Squad under Kirin, ranked 6330, code-named Xian Yu."
Yu Xian looked at the credentials on the table, couldn't help but pick them up and flip through them repeatedly, saying in disbelief, "Is this… real?"
"Of course it's real. As long as you show your credentials, all Security Bureaus nationwide can verify their authenticity and unconditionally cooperate with your actions," Jin Sheng said with a smile.
Yu Xian put away the credentials and asked, "Then how many people are in the Evil Extermination Squad, and who is the captain?"
"I am the captain of the Evil Extermination Squad. Originally, there were five people; with you, there are six. However, the squad usually doesn't act together but rather takes on missions individually. Only for Sparrow Level missions and above do we gather as a squad," Jin Sheng explained.
Then he proceeded to inform Yu Xian of the specific details of the squad one by one.
The squads under Kirin have a very high degree of freedom, mainly because most members who can join Kirin are transcendent beings with great potential.
Because the situation of each transcendent being is different, forcing them to act together might instead lead to the stagnation of some team members' abilities.
Generally, members can freely take on Chong Class and Ant Level missions, and two or more members can cooperate to take on Feng Class missions. Sparrow Level missions and above must be taken on by the entire squad together.
"So, what level is Silver City considered now?" Yu Xian asked curiously.
Jin Sheng replied, "The Alienated Insect disaster is classified as Tiger Class, but not because of its strength, but because of its destructiveness. Only by annihilating all Alienated Insects is the mission considered complete. However, this mission is destined to be extremely difficult to complete, after all, we are not even sure how it spreads or how many there are now."
"Actually, I have a suspect. I suspect he might be an Alienated Insect, but I can't find any evidence," Yu Xian suddenly thought of Yu Wei and said with some hesitation.
Jin Sheng immediately became serious and asked, "Who do you suspect?"
"Yu Wei, Teacher Yu. Although I observed him for most of the day and he showed no flaws, when I saw him again this morning, I still had that feeling. He's definitely not right," Yu Xian said, frowning in thought.
Jin Sheng immediately turned and walked out, saying as he walked, "Let's go. Since you think he's suspicious, we'll control him first and check him."
The two walked out of the tent.
Jin Sheng had the soldiers first restrain Yu Wei and confine him in a tent, guarded by several soldiers.
Throughout the entire process, Yu Wei did not resist, only showing some panic on his face. Jin Sheng and Yu Xian observed from a distance, and neither of them could see anything amiss.
"Do you still think he's not right now?" Jin Sheng asked.
Yu Xian nodded, "Yes, he definitely has a problem, but with my current ability, I can't see what it is yet."
"Then let's take another look, come on." Jin Sheng thought for a moment and still decided to unconditionally trust Yu Xian.
The two entered the tent where Yu Wei was detained. When Yu Wei saw them enter, he quickly said, "Officer, and student Yu Xian, what do you need me for?"
Neither Jin Sheng nor Yu Xian spoke.
The two surrounded Yu Wei. Jin Sheng's eyes suddenly turned golden, and a silver light flickered in the depths of Yu Xian's pupils.
"What are you doing? I... what's wrong with me?" Yu Wei was somewhat frightened by their stares and kept leaning backward.
The golden light in Jin Sheng's eyes gradually dimmed. He shook his head at Yu Xian, clearly having found no problem. The silver light in the depths of Yu Xian's pupils also gradually returned to normal, and he too had found nothing.
"Are you sure?" Jin Sheng asked out of the blue.
Yu Xian knew what he meant and nodded, "Absolutely sure. Especially now, he gives me a very strong sense of incongruity."
He wasn't lying. The distance between him and Yu Wei was only about twenty centimeters now. When he looked at Yu Wei, he felt an indescribable discomfort, no matter how he looked, it felt out of place.
"Then go ahead and do what you need to. Even if it's wrong, I'll take responsibility!" Jin Sheng was silent for a moment, then finally decided to continue trusting Yu Xian. After all, Yu Xian was now his team member, and supporting teammates was one of the captain's responsibilities.
There was a case in Kirin's archives where a team member discovered a problem, but the captain didn't believe him, resulting in only two people from the entire team surviving. Since then, every captain of a squad under Kirin has chosen to firmly stand by their teammates.
Yu Wei seemed to sense danger and cried out in terror, "What do you want to do? Help! Help! Murder!"
"Shut up, quiet!" Jin Sheng immediately glared.
The next moment, Yu Wei's mouth was covered by a golden light, and he could only make 'woo woo woo' sounds.
"Start. Do whatever you want. You can dissect him or chop him into pieces," Jin Sheng said coldly to Yu Xian.
Yu Xian nodded, looking at Yu Wei with some reluctance, and said, "Teacher Yu, bear with it. I'll try not to hurt you."
Then he condensed a thin silver thread from his fingertip. Under his control, the silver thread slowly drilled into Yu Wei's neck and moved little by little within his body.
Through the battle from the day before yesterday, his control over Silver Blood had improved another level. To avoid hurting Yu Wei, he operated very carefully.
At the same time, this time he checked very thoroughly. Blood vessels, internal organs, bones, and nerves were all examined one by one. Suddenly, his eyes narrowed slightly; the silver thread seemed to touch some kind of unusual sensation.
Before he could react, an anomaly suddenly occurred.
"Oh dear, exposed again, Little brother, you really are the biggest enemy of the bugs!"
In an instant, Yu Wei's head rotated ninety degrees, his entire face contorted into a wrinkled mess. Zhou Tai's voice came from his head, followed by a large number of nerve fibers drilling out from his eye sockets, nostrils, and ears, rapidly stabbing towards Yu Xian.
However, at this moment, Jin Sheng's whole body glowed golden. He easily blocked Zhou Tai's attack with one hand and tightly gripped the Alienated Insect disguised as Yu Wei's nerve fibers.
"So that's it. No wonder I couldn't see any clues," Jin Sheng muttered to himself, looking at the Alienated Insect in his hand.
Yu Xian also realized the problem at this point and frowned, "This level of concealment is too terrifying."
In fact, the Alienated Insect had not completely controlled Yu Wei; it was merely disguised as a segment of Yu Wei's nerve fibers.
Because Yu Wei was still alive, Yu Xian couldn't smell any foul odor, and because the Alienated Insect mimicked nerve fibers, it was almost impossible to detect unless the person was dissected.
Yu Xian guessed that the reason he felt Yu Wei had a problem was more because Zhou Tai was observing him through Yu Wei, and he instinctively felt something was wrong.
Without Zhou Tai's gaze, he probably wouldn't have been able to tell that Yu Wei had a problem either.
In this way, even if the Alienated Insect infiltrated the entire country, no one might be able to discover its existence. Their current discovery was definitely a major breakthrough.
