"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."
784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3ZicSvHzY
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.
784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RoZ7TZpWi
He approached the body gradually until they made eye contact.
784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxObKwYODNr
"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.
784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKPxovHQ9q
Lizard's eyes welled up. "I of course remember!" He took off his jacket and laid it on the little boy's shoulders.
784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rOvGDYWQG
"Good to see you, my brother." said the little boy in a soft voice.
784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4lGpoGOSS
"Jacob! Strengthen up! What happen to you! Who brought you here? How come you are alive but so sick?" Lizard moaned.
784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwdzpYsJc1
"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."
784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmZECiG33S
The clicking of the clock is getting louder in Lizard's ears.
784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWsR6tyyZ2
"I am so confused, Jacob. How can I get out of here? Where is the key?"
784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvUYyvMjTT
"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."
784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nSHvevLs3
"So did you find out where Cave 8 is?"
784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ519j7VJVSg
"Yes. Not 100%, but I am pretty sure I should be right this time."
784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV150N684jT
"Where is it?"
784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUzb1r4LKO
"Remember the dark corridor?" Jacob continued.
784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxunpEM1Qn
"Yes. There's a bathroom at the end when you turn left."
784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtPAxCoyX5
"I reckoned that's Cave 8."
784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5827Kp7DI
"Wait...This makes sense. How come I never thought about this possibility? I am so dumb!"
784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGmPuOzUnQ
"Don't blame yourself. The world is simple. It's just that us humans are complicated and impressionable."
784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0S24UFSi1
"Okay! I will carry you to the bathroom and let's get out of here together!"
784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVApxGCBDq
"Thanks. Let's go before Father finds out. Have your explosives ready."
784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIGhjDLZiF
Lizard put Jacob on his back and started running to the bathroom. He could feel Jacob's weak breaths.
784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVV7Au4MKsR
"Are you doing alright? We are almost there!"
784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRBT6cB7E5
"I am fine. Just keep going."
784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDFxAoS7bk
The air in the dark corridor is moist and thick as usual, and the bathroom door sign still read 505 when they got there.
784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavKlVzDVpX
Lizard helped Jacob rest in the corner of the room and started to prepare the explosives. Jacob's face looked paler than before.
784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJW6yvlKCS
"I will count down from 5 and light up the explosives. Make sure to cover your head and stay flat on the floor. Okay?"
784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oRw5rvlXx
"Okay."
784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbO7emfj2c
"5,"
784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFL0zvfGfO
"4,"
784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8AvhCywuV
"3,"
784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuj0xV1iAwK
A thought suddenly echoed in his mind when Lizard was counting down.
784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpuMz2jDDo
"Don't trust Father. Don't even trust anyone here."
784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFeX4HwfTY
"2,"
784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXgSIRkupT
"1,"
784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvh4YJ3ow3
"Haha....it's all up to you then. It doesn't have to be 504."
