"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."
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlTWDAKRC8
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.
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqqkv29KSF
He approached the body gradually until they made eye contact.

"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.
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡal596IZhyS
Lizard's eyes welled up. "I of course remember!" He took off his jacket and laid it on the little boy's shoulders.
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfGbfmkYus
"Good to see you, my brother." said the little boy in a soft voice.
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdLYcCH6iI
"Jacob! Strengthen up! What happen to you! Who brought you here? How come you are alive but so sick?" Lizard moaned.
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhYwoFI64S
"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."
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNfhq7FF8g
The clicking of the clock is getting louder in Lizard's ears.
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTNN2t3B6j
"I am so confused, Jacob. How can I get out of here? Where is the key?"
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTaNYNCrOTp
"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."
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6sFfp6WayE
"So did you find out where Cave 8 is?"
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1wL6dpTsb
"Yes. Not 100%, but I am pretty sure I should be right this time."
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjdQDJXha5
"Where is it?"
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHtlnEshzL
"Remember the dark corridor?" Jacob continued.
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgIFfB13dv
"Yes. There's a bathroom at the end when you turn left."
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNr7rdn1aF
"I reckoned that's Cave 8."
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOmMhWcloC
"Wait...This makes sense. How come I never thought about this possibility? I am so dumb!"
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUeStqfscbY
"Don't blame yourself. The world is simple. It's just that us humans are complicated and impressionable."
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DcZmKDvYp
"Okay! I will carry you to the bathroom and let's get out of here together!"
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlZIGYTGbE
"Thanks. Let's go before Father finds out. Have your explosives ready."
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFY1Wli4ax
Lizard put Jacob on his back and started running to the bathroom. He could feel Jacob's weak breaths.
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33so8LuX00
"Are you doing alright? We are almost there!"
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2l5FKo9SQ
"I am fine. Just keep going."
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoaIBeoiolt
The air in the dark corridor is moist and thick as usual, and the bathroom door sign still read 505 when they got there.
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJziOdfHk4W
Lizard helped Jacob rest in the corner of the room and started to prepare the explosives. Jacob's face looked paler than before.
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OyzTD1ncB
"I will count down from 5 and light up the explosives. Make sure to cover your head and stay flat on the floor. Okay?"
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9kBkpuDlu
"Okay."
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrE8O0RTr4
"5,"
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgYBkUs0Nq
"4,"
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NWK3X0MxJ
"3,"
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzhGc4iBX3
A thought suddenly echoed in his mind when Lizard was counting down.
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RMCDEncO3
"Don't trust Father. Don't even trust anyone here."
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YzRIDQum9
"2,"
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4SGSwYLJu
"1,"
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnEm2IRxh1
"Haha....it's all up to you then. It doesn't have to be 504."
