"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.
778Please respect copyright.PENANAXJiVZeiyfb
"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."
778Please respect copyright.PENANAqM6RGnGaZt
