Hyunjin and Felix stepped into the city, expecting the usual bustle of a popular tourist destination. Instead, they were met with an eerie silence. The streets were empty, the shops were closed, and the only sound was the soft hum of streetlights.

Felix's eyes narrowed, his senses on high alert. "Something's off," he whispered to Hyunjin. "I feel dark energy everywhere, but I can't pinpoint the source."

Hyunjin's eyes scanned the surroundings, his hand on the hilt of his sword. "It's too quiet. Where is everyone?"

Felix shook his head. "I don't know, but I don't like it. The energy is diffuse, like it's coming from everywhere and nowhere at the same time."

They walked cautiously through the streets, their footsteps echoing off the buildings. Felix's senses were on high alert, trying to detect any subtle changes in the energy. But it was like trying to grasp a handful of sand - the harder he focused, the more it slipped through his fingers.

Hyunjin's voice was low and urgent. "Felix, what do we do? We can't just stand here."

Felix's eyes scanned the horizon, searching for any sign of danger. But the city seemed to be holding its breath, waiting for something to happen.

"I don't know," Felix admitted. "But we need to keep moving. Let's try to find the center of the city. Maybe that's where the energy is coming from."

Felix's eyes closed, his senses honed in on the dark energy. The eerie vines of power seemed to be crawling under his skin, making his flesh crawl. But he focused, pouring all his will into pinpointing the direction.

Finally, he felt it - a subtle tug, like a thread pulling him south. His eyes snapped open, and he turned to Hyunjin, his voice low and urgent.

"Hyunjin, I've got it. The energy is coming from the south. Stay behind me, this feels way too powerful."

Hyunjin's eyes widened, but he nodded, his hand on the hilt of his sword. "Got it, Felix. Lead the way."

Felix took the lead, his senses guiding him through the empty streets. The energy grew stronger with each step, making his skin prickle with unease. He could feel the power emanating from the south, like a dark beacon calling to him.

As they walked, the buildings seemed to loom over them, casting long shadows that stretched and twisted in the flickering light of the streetlights. Felix's heart raced with anticipation, his hand on the hilt of his own sword.

What were they walking into? And what was the source of this dark energy that seemed to be pulling them in like moths to a flame?

Felix's eyes flashed with anger as he confronted the corrupted building. The idols' terrified faces and the oldest member's desperate grip on his arm only fueled his rage.

"You're telling me she's a demon, destroying everything and everyone...and you can't say her name?" Felix's voice was low and menacing.

The oldest member trembled, his eyes pleading for understanding. "W-we can't, Felix. She'll kill us if we do."

Felix's gaze narrowed, his mind racing. And then, it clicked. The destruction, the corruption, the malevolent energy...it all pointed to one person.

With a fierce battle cry, Felix yelled, "VERA!"

The ground shook, and the building seemed to tremble in response. The idols gasped, their eyes wide with fear.

One of his 7000 wives, Vera, was renowned for her cruelty and destruction. And now, she was wreaking havoc on Bighit Entertainment. Felix charged forward, his sword at the ready, determined to put an end to her reign of terror.
