"This might be my last chance to get out of here."

He ran out of the room to seek for the bright red arrow. To his astonishment, it took him less than a minute to get back to the wall. Without thinking too much, he followed the direction of the arrow and reached a wooden cottage.

"This must be it."
868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9chAIqkMb
He pushed the door open and found a pale and skinny little boy lying on a bed. The boy's whole body was shivering and could hardly breathe.
868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuyX9YtTJc
He approached the body gradually until they made eye contact.
868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBP4J8E6XH
"My beloved brother. Remember Jacob? I am sick and will die in the coming winter. That's two more weeks from now." The little boy said.
868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36iC7T2moJ
Lizard's eyes welled up. "I of course remember!" He took off his jacket and laid it on the little boy's shoulders.
868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzAChAr7oa
"Good to see you, my brother." said the little boy in a soft voice.
868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6QtaZYNlq
"Jacob! Strengthen up! What happen to you! Who brought you here? How come you are alive but so sick?" Lizard moaned.
868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KxuXMLlRW
"Don't trust Father. Don't even trust anyone here. Father wants to keep us here. He told me no one is going to leave."
868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdNFF2HYLM
The clicking of the clock is getting louder in Lizard's ears.
868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8IOqSTQKr
"I am so confused, Jacob. How can I get out of here? Where is the key?"
868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdue7FY0e1
"Don't panick, brother. Before I got sick, I spent two years exploring the surroundings in this area. It was tough. Just like you, I started from Cave 1 to 7, but couldn't find Cave 8. I finally figured out the clues in this autumn but got ill. I cannot even walk now."
868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONwJFEzgzj
"So did you find out where Cave 8 is?"
868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8OnfMRRHJ
"Yes. Not 100%, but I am pretty sure I should be right this time."
868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhD8g6UBTeY
"Where is it?"
868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnJCAsN6uc
"Remember the dark corridor?" Jacob continued.
868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSTXeSSPQO
"Yes. There's a bathroom at the end when you turn left."
868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6PMIwy6SB
"I reckoned that's Cave 8."
868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0nBmiJvEZ
"Wait...This makes sense. How come I never thought about this possibility? I am so dumb!"
868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiatqtRE6Ge
"Don't blame yourself. The world is simple. It's just that us humans are complicated and impressionable."
868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVnifGudx3
"Okay! I will carry you to the bathroom and let's get out of here together!"
868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ890zueYVzl
"Thanks. Let's go before Father finds out. Have your explosives ready."
868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZSjOPXdr5
Lizard put Jacob on his back and started running to the bathroom. He could feel Jacob's weak breaths.
868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfyh1lnBfQ
"Are you doing alright? We are almost there!"
868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fzvzeTKMW
"I am fine. Just keep going."
868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWPxNtb8nO
The air in the dark corridor is moist and thick as usual, and the bathroom door sign still read 505 when they got there.
868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTtHF108jm
Lizard helped Jacob rest in the corner of the room and started to prepare the explosives. Jacob's face looked paler than before.
868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwT4kjvSRs
"I will count down from 5 and light up the explosives. Make sure to cover your head and stay flat on the floor. Okay?"
868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQnOWzIL9K
"Okay."
868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0eyJ0Y5UF
"5,"
868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzZdXK1FZJ
"4,"
868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3CYSHrwuT
"3,"
868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lL5eUq2K2
A thought suddenly echoed in his mind when Lizard was counting down.
868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvlcbujj0fg
"Don't trust Father. Don't even trust anyone here."
868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnPbP5zVin
"2,"
868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUkCjNy861
"1,"
868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNAeCvae0w
"Haha....it's all up to you then. It doesn't have to be 504."
