Underworld |L.TY x J.JH

three

Everyone in the Underworld gathered in front of the Circle's gate as the loud sirens were heard throughout the Underworld. Everyone's attention was solely on the jade mansion, curious to know what was going on when they saw sheets of metal lowering on the windows and doors of the mansion.

"Why is the Circle initiating lockdown?"

"Aren't the superiors gathering tonight for the annual meeting?"

"Did someone break in?"

Some didn't know what was going on as they were either visitors of the Underworld, clients or people who recently joined the Underworld.

Suddenly an eerie feeling rose up the spines of the veterans of the Underworld. Until the loud sound of the animatronic voice that belonged to personal AI assistant of the Underworld's superiors sounded.

Code Z479 activated. Intruder Torture Extermination in progress.

Everyone's faces were painted with horror after hearing the sentence, mere seconds later horrifying screams were heard coming from the mansion, loud banging and what not.

"I feel sorry for whoever snuck in there."

"Geez the superior who activated the code must be really pissed."

"This is exactly why no one in their right mind would try to break into the Circle."

A few minutes later, the brick road of the Circle's lawn slowly opened, seven robotic arms came out from the opening holding seven brutally tortured bodies. Looking like they were tortured in different ways, more than once as one was burnt, another was frozen, another was drenched in water, etc.

Code Z479 completed.

Everyone gasped in horror at the sight of the seven bodies and looked up at the balcony of the mansion, seeing all of the superiors wearing their signature masks their crowns placed on their hair and a holographic mic placed in front of the superior with a golden crown on his head.

"This is a reminder to all of you. The Golden Deal should be played fairly. This is what happens to the cheaters. I hope all of you keep this in mind. This is the head of the Underworld, TY speaking. Have a good night everyone. You may continue to do what you were doing before this mess happened."

Taeyong stated sternly before walking back inside the jade mansion, the other superiors following behind him.

The pure white jade walls of the hallways were stained with streaks of blood which made quite a few of the superiors shudder. Renjun and Jungwoo held in the urge to vomit at the heavy stench of blood.

"Don't worry, Renjun and Jungwoo. The mansion will be cleaned spotless later." The eldest among the superiors stated.

"Computer clean the mess up." Hansol muttered.

"I suggest you guys go home now. Me, Taeil, Ten and Johnny will stay back to improve the security. The meeting is dismissed." Taeyong said walking back into the living room, the younger superiors—Renjun, Sicheng, Jungwoo and Hendery— and Hansol leaving the mansion.

Renjun walked through the large front yard of the Circle, still wearing his mask, his crown was back at the mansion as he was afraid of wearing it as it may attract too much attention.

With light steps Renjun walked towards the nearest passage back to the more peaceful yet corrupt world. As he climbed up the tunnel making sure no one was there, minding the cameras and traps he quickly went to the exit, taking off his mask, putting it in a secret compartment next to the passage's entrance.
