ROUND #2 COMMENCES...

The servant sat the remaining six in the dining hall. TRICKY' voice could be heard as he addressed the six who were now seated. "You've all advanced to this section of the trial with flying colors ! I am impressed !"

The six remaining all shiver in their seats as TRICKY explains this part of the trial to them. Essentially, each set of two who survived will be put to a vote to see who is the "murderer" of one of the eliminated. "해피 투표!" (Happy voting !) 

The first pair up to vote was Hunter & Junmin. They had their eyes closed as the others casted their votes. Three votes went for Junmin. Two votes went for Hunter. This made Hunter safe. 

The next pair up was Seeun & Jinsik. Votes were casted. Three votes for Seeun. Two votes for Jinsik. Jinsik is determined safe. 

The finale pair up was Minjae & Yechan. Decisions were made. 3 votes went to Minjae as the "murderer". Two votes went to Yechan. This left Yechan as safe. 

The servant gestured Minjae, Seeun, & Junmin to a door to the left of the room. Never to be seen again. They were officially eliminated. Six boys now turned into three. 

9 - ENTERED

6 - ELIMINATED

3 - REMAIN

ROUND #3 COMMENCES...

TRICKY laughed manically as he now was left with three in his trial. Two liars & a innocent remain. "3명이 남았습니다. 이는 또 다른 투표에 달려 있습니다. 올바른 투표 여부를 확인해 보겠습니다." (Three remain. This will be up to another vote. Let's see if you vote correctly.) This wording was subjective when it came to if the three voted "correctly". TRICKY chose this wording to not only incite fear, but to make the decision harder on them all.

"Hunter. I vote Hunter," Yechan said trusting his gut feeling as the only innocent he knew of within the room. Hunter casted his vote next. "Jinsik." Jinsik' vote will be the tie breaker & would determine a winner. With a deep breath Jinsik voiced his decision, "Hunter."

Hunter was shown out by the servant. This left one liar & one innocent. Only Jinsik & Yechan remained. "Have we won ?", Yechan asked getting silence for a few minutes. TRICKY laughed & suddenly Jinsik was wielding a sword & he didn't seem like himself. "DON'T YOU REALIZE ?!", Jinsik yelled as he began to chase Yechan. 

Eventually Yechan made it to the door but he wasn't fast enough. He coughed up blood as Jinsik' sword pierced through him. Jinsik dropped the sword just as the front door opened. He seemingly was back to being himself. 

The cold air outside greeted Jinsik as he walked down the steps. When he glanced back at TRICKY' house he felt nine eyes watching him from the front windows. 

Jinsik was truly corrupted. Corruption had won in the end...

ONE REMAINED.

끝.

THE END.
