_____________________________________________________________________________________________
"Beep beep, wake up prisoner, wake up prisoner."
A hand smashed the clock. A man groaned as he sat up, he yawned and rubbed his eyes.
"Wake up prisoners! Time for bed count! Line up!" Yelled a guard.
Wilton Notlim, a former human turned human hybrid glitch then reverted back again. A former ordinary man who wants to gain power from computer glitches but stopped by a friend of his.
"Alright! Now go to do all your cleaning stuff!"
1 month after the Commander Glitch infection. Wilton was found badly injured but alive in the volcano crater. He was sentenced to life in prison because he not only joined the glitches, he also caused multiple deaths when fighting the Glitch Wipeout Crew.
He clicked his tongue as he finished brushing his teeth and sat down in the line. He wouldn't complain about his prison life, but precisely his worst enemy, the captain of the Glitch Wipeout Crew is in the same prison and the same block as him, which is Johnson or John or whatever.
Like always, Wilton followed the line to pick up his breakfast. Like always, the breakfast is cereal and milk that is plain and tasteless, the bread literally crumbs away soon as the spoon touches it. Like always, no metal spoon for escape. Like always, Johnson glared at him and even kick him sometimes. In the whole prison, inmates were afraid of Wilton due to he is a former high tier glitch member, only Johnson dared to pick on him.
Wilton looked at his food, stirred it with the plastic spoon, prison life is even worse than his normal life, at least he get freedom in his normal life. He sighed, as he continued to play with the cereal. Suddenly, he feel pain in his stomach, he quickly asked a guard for permission to go to the toilet. He entered the toilet, and relieved himself. But when he washed his hands and prepared to return to the dining area, something caught his attention. Inside a toilet cubicle, a blue light could be seen. Out of curiosity, he walked into the cubicle. There he found a small device, showing a hologram of a logo. It is a logo with a skull on it. Unlike the skull of the glitches, this one looks way more sinister, and unsettling. It also contains blades which directly stabbed into the skull, with the tips coming out of it red. Behind the skull was a tent shape thingy, and the words written, The Deadly Circus.
"Ah, finally, you're here, perfect timing."
The logo begun to speak, Wilton was startled. He took a few steps back,
"Oh come on, don't be scared, I don't mean to hurt you, Wilton." said the logo.
"Wha- who are you? Why do you know my name? Why are you waiting for me?"
"Oh goody, hahaha....please to meet you, allow me to introduce myself!"
The logo shimmered and twitched.
"I am the Cruel and Gory killer, an S tier criminal that was never captured by law. "
Wilton raised an eyebrow,
"S tier.....wait, that is only for one criminal, he is a literal monster!" Wilton gulped.
"Hehehe...that's me, the horrifying ringmaster...."
"To be honest, although I make news, but I had NO idea who you are."
"What? Aw c'mon! How life hating are you? I, The cruel and gory killer is nothing but a normal criminal to you?! What a 1 star response!"
"Alright....sorry, what is your point? The legendary S tier criminal looking for me?"
The voice cleared his voice again.
"Anyway, I see that you are once a glitch member aren't you?"
"W....ell, yeah...but I, didn't end up...."
"PERFECT! Now, I could give you an offer."
"What? A-an offer?"
"YES! Especially for you!"
The device then fired out a flash drive, Wilton looked at it, and picked it up. Its a purple flash drive with a hazard symbol on it.
"I have a plan in mind, and it needs people like you. Like the previous army you joined, I also wanted to rule the world, I heard you also want that didn't you? Respect! Power! Dominance!"
"Cuh, speaking like that sounds like its very easy."
"Enough of questions, use that flash drive of computer viruses, break out of prison, and meet me at this location!"
The logo turned into a digital tablet, on it is a coordinate of a certain location, Wilton took it, he scratched his head, confused.
"I will explain it in detail when you got there, good luck!"
The voice cackled before vanishing together with the hologram. The device broke into pieces and dropped into the toilet bowl, and later being flushed away.
Wilton was confused, he looked at the tablet, and the virus.
"The Cruel and Gory Killer?"
Wilton returned to the cafeteria and continued eating his food. He kept thinking about the voice, the hologram and the flash drive he is holding. Question marks filled his brain, before following what the voice tells him to, he decided to go seek for some answers.
He then immediately remembered something, there is a certain gang in the prison, their leader is seemingly an aged and experienced criminal, he thought maybe he had information about that voice.
During the exercise section, Wilton wandered around the basket ball court, trying to look for that gang. After a few minutes of search, he found the gang, they are sitting near the resting table of the court. Wilton smirked and slowly approached to them.
"Hey folks."
The gang members noticed Wilton, they threw away their basketball in their hands and stood up.
"What are you doing here, human double crosser." asked one of the members.
"Relax, relax mates, I just want to get some....info from y'all, and I will scram."
The gang members looked askance at Wilton, then, one of them walked to a man with large body frame, bulky and old. The member whispered to the man.
"Boss, I think he is looking for you."
The man is the gang's leader. He smirked, he looked at Wilton, with his hands placed together.
"You want information huh? Heh, I warn you, those aren't for free..."
Wilton smirked, he have already knew that this will happen. He calmly took out a sack.
"How about a little this?"
Wilton put the sack on the ground, one of the members took a look in it, and was shocked.
"Boss! It's toilet paper! This whole sack is toilet paper!"
The gang members were shocked. Wilton smirked as he took out another sack and gave it to one of the members. He opened it, and was shocked once again.
"I-instant noodles!!??"
The gang members were shocked even more. The gang leader also looked amazed.
"And this, should make you talk."
Wilton put a small bag on the floor. One of the members looked into it, and was shocked even more.
"3 packs of coffee powder??!!!!"
The gang members erupted, but then, the gang leader cleared his throat, they then shut up.
"Good, you have earned my respect." The gang leader signaled one of the members to take the sacks, and carry a chair Wilton, Wilton then sat down.
"Now, tell me, what do you want to know?"
"I assume as a very experienced criminal, you must have a handful of info I need."
"Heh, I haven't been a criminal for quite a while, and dare not accept such praise."
"Well, do you happen to know any information about, the S tier criminal. The Cruel and Gory killer?"
The gang members heard Wilton's words, and were shocked. The gang leader also broke a sweat, but he still remained calm.
"Ah, that monster, well, I will tell you everything I know."
Wilton listened very carefully.
"The Cruel and Gory killer, not sure what his true name was, but all I know, he is a literal monster. We normal criminals do crimes like rob banks, raid a gem store, and some psycho murders. But that monster is different, he kills for entertainment, it might sound normal for a villain, but what makes him terrifying is that he kills his victims in the most cruel and painful way possible."
Wilton gasped lightly,
"His kill counts reach over thousands a year, countless people died in his hands, slow, painful, cruel.....Police have no way in stopping his wrath. Neither could they stop his team."
"Sorry, a team?"
"The Deadly Circus, a team of psychopaths that accompanied that monster. When police reached a crime scene but no traces of them were found, directly means the crime must be their doing. That monster thought the world was a stage, and killed victims as a part of the show."
"Oh my..."
"And what makes him even scarier isn't his reputation, its his powers, of manipulating sorcery."
Wilton raised an eyebrow.
"For some unknown reason, he could use a power that science couldn't answer, he could float, make things levitate, make barriers, and summon thunder. Legends says that no police was ever back alive except for one super lucky one. He is truly terrifying, if I were you, I will stay the heck out of him."
Back in the prison cell, Wilton stared at the flash drive, and remembered the words of the gang leader.
Some of Wilton's questions had finally been answered. After thinking it over, he came to a conclusion. That voice was worth his time. Later that night, using the help of the computer virus, a criminal had regained freedom.
