"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."
809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0D1HSjfTX
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.
809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvYsC7XeFa
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.
809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxQ2hdOkPL
Lizard's eyes welled up. "I of course remember!" He took off his jacket and laid it on the little boy's shoulders.
809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfipZjZQOxy
"Good to see you, my brother." said the little boy in a soft voice.
809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3BdoJhugj
"Jacob! Strengthen up! What happen to you! Who brought you here? How come you are alive but so sick?" Lizard moaned.
809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUOPo1T3kg
"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."
809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogoKXZGf1s
The clicking of the clock is getting louder in Lizard's ears.
809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NQM0RC5UQ
"I am so confused, Jacob. How can I get out of here? Where is the key?"
809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQvxsYsjRD
"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."
809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvuotqUkRYr
"So did you find out where Cave 8 is?"
809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQeUSNTl6tb
"Yes. Not 100%, but I am pretty sure I should be right this time."
809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEUsw42Wl7
"Where is it?"
809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHOjoBe9er
"Remember the dark corridor?" Jacob continued.
809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQz3q13dNT
"Yes. There's a bathroom at the end when you turn left."
809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKQUsBQdCz
"I reckoned that's Cave 8."
809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbgtGsMoAJ
"Wait...This makes sense. How come I never thought about this possibility? I am so dumb!"
809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMHZVn812I
"Don't blame yourself. The world is simple. It's just that us humans are complicated and impressionable."
809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRn42e1yd5j
"Okay! I will carry you to the bathroom and let's get out of here together!"
809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWTZZlicON
"Thanks. Let's go before Father finds out. Have your explosives ready."
809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzQtwKg68G
Lizard put Jacob on his back and started running to the bathroom. He could feel Jacob's weak breaths.
809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXI811vl60
"Are you doing alright? We are almost there!"
809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdF4uSS2hu
"I am fine. Just keep going."
809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPG4l44RYpy
The air in the dark corridor is moist and thick as usual, and the bathroom door sign still read 505 when they got there.
809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1p30vqxEpy
Lizard helped Jacob rest in the corner of the room and started to prepare the explosives. Jacob's face looked paler than before.
809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72ErFh3TNF
"I will count down from 5 and light up the explosives. Make sure to cover your head and stay flat on the floor. Okay?"
809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbD9RqJiro
"Okay."
809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFHXzbn8lU
"5,"
809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuZX4mvpVQ
"4,"
809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYQrhko0Et
"3,"
809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjK7x7xCp0
A thought suddenly echoed in his mind when Lizard was counting down.
809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZk3fDvBXQ
"Don't trust Father. Don't even trust anyone here."
809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRJDumNbJg
"2,"
809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUn5xIKUAeC
"1,"
809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdPWnj2nDA
"Haha....it's all up to you then. It doesn't have to be 504."
