There is a sudden meeting that the Police Chief would like to discuss. Everyone fell silent and focused on the Police Chief, who is currently taking care of his PowerPoint presentation. Everyone was shocked when he suddenly showed his presentation, and the first thing they witnessed was the moment where the first contestant died from the explosion. Everyone starts sharing their reaction to their fellow police officers.

"Attention!" The chief of police shouted, and everyone fell silent again. "The reason why I arranged the sudden meeting is to talk about the show where the elimination method is by killing them one by one every week until there's only one contestant left." Then the police chief clicks the next button to show the poster of the reality show.

"This is the poster that became popular throughout the whole internet. This also explains why there are only ten contestants throughout the whole show with the winning prize of thirty million dollars. This means there are only nine contestants left where the next challenge will be aired this Saturday. Now we only have eight weeks to rescue the rest of the contestants. "

Then the chief of police showed the next panel. It shows the volleyball court where the contestant plays the sport. "Now the only evidence in order to locate the location is this inside volleyball." I want all of you to search the entire Crite State Area for the inside volleyball court. Understand? "

"Sir, yes sir!" Everyone shouted in sync.

"Sir!" Detective Kathy raises her right hand. "We have a problem!"

"And what seems to be our problem?" The Chief of Police inquired.

"There are only two volleyball courts in the Crite State Area. The first one was used for the local arena, and the second one was used for national and international competition. Both of the volleyball courts are set outside. The only court that was set inside was the basketball court. There is a probability that the show was held outside the Crite State Area or from another country. " Detective Kathy explained.

"About the show being held outside the state or other country, I have already contacted and held a meeting for the chief police international. They are also doing the same thing. Search for the remaining contestant. Now we must find the remaining eight before they all die from the challenges. Now start the operation! Dismissed! " Everyone stands up and, one by one, leaves the room. "Detective Kathy, I want you to stay for a moment. This is urgent.

Everyone left the room. Only the Chief of Police and Detective Kathy were left in the meeting room. The chief police officer opens the image from his laptop and shows it to Detective Kathy, who suddenly feels shocked. It was a picture of one of the contestants, the brown-haired woman. "I notice this contestant looks exactly like yours." Now do you have a twin sister? " Detective Kathy's hand slowly shakes as she slowly responds in whispers. "Yes, sir."

"I see. It looks like one of the contestants is your twin sister. But don't worry, we will find her. " Chief Police said as he stood up and left the room, leaving only Detective Kathy, who was still shivering in the meeting room. She looked down as she let her tears fall from her eyes.

ooo

The reality show became popular not only in the Crite State Area, it was popular internationally. Not only that, the first hell challenge has become popular on social media platforms like Twitter, F******k, and Reddit. Everyone went into panic as they witnessed the first contestant die in front of their television screen. Some of them band together to conduct their own private investigation into the reality show.Some of them recognize the contestant as a family member, friend, or coworker.Some of them believe that the elimination method was actually fake and that it was staged in order to gain some viewers and fans. Tons of Youtubers make videos about their reactions to the reality show.

Detective Kathy silently watches one of the YouTube videos that relates to the reality show in the passenger seat. It was raining so hard, and she had no choice but to share a ride with her best friend, Jeff, who is the owner of the car. It was already evening and both of them were exhausted from the search and rescue. They still have no clue where the show was held. They both decided to take a drive through McDonald's for their dinner. After they paid and received their order, Jeff parked his car in the parking area and ate their dinner.

"Kathy, I noticed something from one of the contestants in the reality show. That blonde woman, she looks exactly like you. Like I feel that you are one of the contestants. " Jeff says to Kathy as he bites into his big mac.

"Well, because it was my twin." Kathy responded. Jeff was shocked by what he heard.

"Wait, you have a twin sister?" "Jeff?" he asks, his mouth full.

"Yes, but it's been so long since she decided to leave us."

Flashback

"Katherine! "Please don't leave us." Kathy yells from the door, who is six years old. She watches her father and her twin sister enter the car. Kathy, with no hesitation, quickly ran to the car and started banging on the door. "Please, dad! Kathy! Don't leave us! " Kathy keeps begging as the car drives away. She tried to chase it, but unfortunately she immediately tripped. She watched as the car disappeared from her vision. She cries as her mother reaches for her.

"I'm so sorry, Kathy." Her mother hugs her as she slowly cries. "It's my fault that your dad decided to file for divorce. I'm so sorry! "

Kathy and her mother cry as the dog barks loudly and some of their neighbors watch them from a distance.

Flashback concludes

"Let's not talk about my twin sister, shall we?" she said as she took a bite of her bacon and cheese sauce loaded fries.

"Sure, if you insist." Jeff replied.

    It's been three days since Katherine revealed her plan to her fellow contestants. Every midnight, she attempted to call the police station or tried to call one of her fellow police officers through the walkie-talkie, but it couldn't be reached. It's her fourth attempt, but this time, Jonathan saw her doing it in the kitchen. "What's up, lady detective? Still no one responded? " Jonathan asked as he grabbed a glass of water and filled it up with water. "No, maybe because it was midnight or the signal in this studio was too weak." I think I should try to contact them in another place, but that was too risky. " Katherine responded as she tried to contact the police station for the third time but still could not be reached. "I tried in the bathroom, bedroom, and living room but still no signal." There was an awkward silence between Katherine and Jonathan. "Jonathan, why did you join the reality show?" Katherine finally asked to avoid the awkward sensation that filled the entire kitchen

    It's already Friday morning and the investigation is still ongoing. Unfortunately, the police department still has no lead on where the show was held and, most importantly, no contestant's relative called or came to report them missing or to cooperate with the case. Not only that, the internet also went wild since the second challenge is about to start. Everyone shared their theory about the 'Reality Show'; some of them thought that it was held on another planet, while some of them thought that it was just an animation made by a professional 3D animator. There is also a person who thought that 'The Reality Show' was pre-recorded and everyone in the show except for the one person was already dead, but of course everyone laughed at her theory and claimed that the commenter was just a nine-year-old kid with a wild imagination. Detective Kathy, who is still at her office table, searches on the internet for information about the show, but most of the information that is shown is fake. She

    Today is the second challenge, and the contestants are already prepared for their next game. Nobody knows what they are going to play for this week, and most importantly, nobody knows who's going to die today. This time they are all in the huge mansion, which has been abandoned for a long time. Suddenly, the speaker made an irritating noise, then proceeded to make an announcement. "For our next game, we are going to play hide and seek. All of you must hide for sixty seconds before the seeker starts to find one of you. "Good luck." Then the timer starts to count down. Everyone split up to find the best hiding spot. Humero immediately went to the dining area and hid inside the cabinet. Inside of it was a ton of cobwebs and expired detergents, which it had not used for so long. Max decided to stay in the living room and hide in the human-sized drawer. He was completely fit in the cabinet box as he pushed slowly in order to close the cabinet box. Ayat quickly ran up to the bathroom, but

    It’s already eight o’clock in the morning and the church was already full during the first mass and the Father started his preaching. Detective Kathy listened carefully as the priest preached. "Two innocent contestants!" The priest yelled at his mic. "They died because of the money. That money controls those contestants who are deeply in financial trouble. This is all the devil's work. He knows our weakness and he enjoys watching those remaining contestants die one by one. Now brothers and sisters, don’t let that money control you and your greediness. May those souls rest in peace. " Detective Kathy impressed the preach as they stood and recited the apostle’s creed. As the mass ended, Detective Kathy went to the priest and kissed his right hand, which in their tradition, was a way to show respect to the elders. The priest smiled as he put his right hand and whispered a prayer to her. As soon as she left, a bunch of journalists immediately ran onward to her and started asking her qu

"Two of us are already dead and we are still doing nothing to prevent it." Out of nowhere, he suddenly grabs Katherine's collar. "It's been a week. Did you manage to get help from the outside?" "I tried, but they refused to believe me. I tried my best to explain, but they kept saying that I'm lying. " Katherine responded, so Jaxx let her go and tried his best to calm down. There's an awkward silence in the living room until Jaxx finally speaks up again. "You know what, give me that phone and walkie-talkie, now!" Jaxx demands that Katherine quickly obey him.

    It's already eight o'clock in the evening and everyone is having supper. Nobody wants to talk to each other; no chit-chat, only eating. Tomorrow is the third challenge, and one of them is going to die. Nobody knows what the challenge is and who's going to die. Max once tried to talk to everyone, but he was too shy. He felt someone touch his left shoulder, so he looked to his left and it was Calvin. "I noticed you wanted to say something. Go on, say something. " Calvin tried to convince him to say what was on his mind. Max took a deep breath before he stood up, causing everyone to stop what they were doing and look at him. I want to quit! I can't stand this! " He yelled as he took a few breaths. The dining room was silent, and everyone gave him the silent treatment. "Max." Finally, someone speaks up, and it's Jaxx. "I have been trying to contact the police. Even Katherine attempted multiple times, but with no luck. Those stupid fucking police don't even want to listen to us. The jus

"Well, my wife and I had a heated argument, just like a married couple, and she decided to kick my ass out of my own house.

Interesting. "Eshal tried her best to feel imitate as Keith carefully examined the knife."You know, despite being a part of a wealthy family, you ran away and chose to live as an independent.

He didn't spend his time on the living having a conversation with the rest of the contestants, but fortunately everyone didn't mind him since it was a dreadful moment, not for him but everyone. Suddenly, Calvin decided to pay him a visit in his room with a bottle of alcoholic drink in his right hand and a huge bag of chips in his left hand. As soon as he entered, he saw him sitting on the right side of the bed, looking away from the door."Clyde." Calvin calmly approached him and sat next to him. "I know you're still mourning, but I think you need company for a while." He hands over a bottle of alcoholic beverage slowly. "Perhaps you want to drink your sorrow away. You know, it's my country's tradition that if someone is mourning the death of the person they love, we just offer them a bottle of alcoholic drink and a big bag of chips. It's kind of weird, but trust me, it's effective. "Clyde looked at him for a moment before
