Denis POV

Without hesitation, I get up and grab the piece of paper. I stare at the words for a moment and then read them out loud.

"For this challenge, 3 of you will be selected to begin the game. As the game continues, the others will get a chance to play if another person is safe or loses a life. 1 person will be selected to be the interrogator. The interrogator must read a question to the 2 contestants in front of them. They must also select a contestant to answer the question. If the contestant answers the question correctly, they are safe. If the contestant answers the question incorrectly, they lose a life. If the interrogator tells the contestants the answer, they will automatically lose a life."

I stop to catch my breath while processing everything that just jammed itself into my brain. However, just as quickly as I got here and got shoved a bunch of rules at, I get swept away by teleportation.

Alex POV

Once the teleportation process ends, I realize that I'm in a pitch black room once again. I also seem to be tied to something, which terrifies me. A light above my head flickers to life, and so do the lights above 2 chairs in front of me.

My eyes focus on the figures tied to the other chairs. Denis and Corl. I know what's happening. I've been selected to be the interrogator. I look down to see a set of old, yellowing note cards on my lap.

There are questions written on them in some sort of red liquid. I'm hoping it's just red ink, but I can only think otherwise.

I look to my left to see Elijah, Ethan, and Sub tied up in chairs against the wall, with cloth covering their mouths. What kind of sick game is this?
