"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."
778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20LuEEpRLA
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.
778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8z73ZHmMRI
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.
778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4aDnqlmZ88
Lizard's eyes welled up. "I of course remember!" He took off his jacket and laid it on the little boy's shoulders.
778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOQDl9n8KP
"Good to see you, my brother." said the little boy in a soft voice.
778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ275SWFooSA
"Jacob! Strengthen up! What happen to you! Who brought you here? How come you are alive but so sick?" Lizard moaned.
778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Y4TwmVl8D
"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."
778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmGBPIo5Ts
The clicking of the clock is getting louder in Lizard's ears.
778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZ544ruGfb
"I am so confused, Jacob. How can I get out of here? Where is the key?"
778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhESn6klEnz
"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."
778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NZup116r4
"So did you find out where Cave 8 is?"
778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKE41I8YmVN
"Yes. Not 100%, but I am pretty sure I should be right this time."
778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOREcNhuDmP
"Where is it?"
778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQ5zRDfAX2
"Remember the dark corridor?" Jacob continued.
778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKK1r4vMs88
"Yes. There's a bathroom at the end when you turn left."
778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gNOBjglns
"I reckoned that's Cave 8."
778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvkfFEkmqq
"Wait...This makes sense. How come I never thought about this possibility? I am so dumb!"
778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHdZ60576G
"Don't blame yourself. The world is simple. It's just that us humans are complicated and impressionable."
778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnojLJg6t7
"Okay! I will carry you to the bathroom and let's get out of here together!"
778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4z8EVYiPcZ
"Thanks. Let's go before Father finds out. Have your explosives ready."
778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfudXL495Py
Lizard put Jacob on his back and started running to the bathroom. He could feel Jacob's weak breaths.
778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14dEfSxXTG
"Are you doing alright? We are almost there!"
778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFCM85EmhF
"I am fine. Just keep going."
778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0H2D6IXEA
The air in the dark corridor is moist and thick as usual, and the bathroom door sign still read 505 when they got there.
778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6F7rtpK64U
Lizard helped Jacob rest in the corner of the room and started to prepare the explosives. Jacob's face looked paler than before.
778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6daPptpDS
"I will count down from 5 and light up the explosives. Make sure to cover your head and stay flat on the floor. Okay?"
778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgUS5XUd2S
"Okay."
778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNLVrbZK0J
"5,"
778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKveGKpGsG
"4,"
778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOow5boMKL
"3,"
778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNrXpkRHeB
A thought suddenly echoed in his mind when Lizard was counting down.
778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnk4jiDMrM
"Don't trust Father. Don't even trust anyone here."
778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3x7pEQuan
"2,"
778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmeeQ7l40J
"1,"
778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LYEaS26w6
"Haha....it's all up to you then. It doesn't have to be 504."
