"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."
813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOWSoK7g9T
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.
813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMTiYrUZzf
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.
813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkEEhDF1y8
Lizard's eyes welled up. "I of course remember!" He took off his jacket and laid it on the little boy's shoulders.
813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAlNrA5XdV
"Good to see you, my brother." said the little boy in a soft voice.
813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDI3DXN9PUn
"Jacob! Strengthen up! What happen to you! Who brought you here? How come you are alive but so sick?" Lizard moaned.
813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JEXJyknGs
"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."
813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYdR5RNNQI
The clicking of the clock is getting louder in Lizard's ears.
813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKgsntN8A9
"I am so confused, Jacob. How can I get out of here? Where is the key?"
813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVd8L13MU5N
"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."
813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnmh6EwJYB
"So did you find out where Cave 8 is?"
813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJoAxoR5Njn
"Yes. Not 100%, but I am pretty sure I should be right this time."
813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9CaMda9ky
"Where is it?"
813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6lTqCrAlM
"Remember the dark corridor?" Jacob continued.
813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9D5C8OUcBu
"Yes. There's a bathroom at the end when you turn left."
813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlypuX9ZQGS
"I reckoned that's Cave 8."
813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WzmITAclR
"Wait...This makes sense. How come I never thought about this possibility? I am so dumb!"
813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0vNKcl2Up
"Don't blame yourself. The world is simple. It's just that us humans are complicated and impressionable."
813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXmZGGBBU4
"Okay! I will carry you to the bathroom and let's get out of here together!"
813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwnczw8L3H
"Thanks. Let's go before Father finds out. Have your explosives ready."
813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCHgEQ8ZKf
Lizard put Jacob on his back and started running to the bathroom. He could feel Jacob's weak breaths.
813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1aXQifQ88g
"Are you doing alright? We are almost there!"
813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9djC8Hppp
"I am fine. Just keep going."
813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfqnbXEwOu
The air in the dark corridor is moist and thick as usual, and the bathroom door sign still read 505 when they got there.
813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXVaFOuRvi
Lizard helped Jacob rest in the corner of the room and started to prepare the explosives. Jacob's face looked paler than before.
813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBB92auWWWk
"I will count down from 5 and light up the explosives. Make sure to cover your head and stay flat on the floor. Okay?"
813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTSQqfX28p
"Okay."
813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9R5NRubAq
"5,"
813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5E79dyl56
"4,"
813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8eSY9IeeMD
"3,"
813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZi91Hv7TE
A thought suddenly echoed in his mind when Lizard was counting down.
813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwA5rj9qW3T
"Don't trust Father. Don't even trust anyone here."
813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyijsOw0xdm
"2,"
813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOizAZ3zUA
"1,"
813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfILZ9BuUP
"Haha....it's all up to you then. It doesn't have to be 504."
