"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."

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.
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFBbWQJWy7
He approached the body gradually until they made eye contact.
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHM8eoCj6M
"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.
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrWWYjmV38
Lizard's eyes welled up. "I of course remember!" He took off his jacket and laid it on the little boy's shoulders.
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3J51IMtdsq
"Good to see you, my brother." said the little boy in a soft voice.
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQhWbru06N
"Jacob! Strengthen up! What happen to you! Who brought you here? How come you are alive but so sick?" Lizard moaned.
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnV0WySkGuA
"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."
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJ1TimSJAi
The clicking of the clock is getting louder in Lizard's ears.
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyX8aOcLq33
"I am so confused, Jacob. How can I get out of here? Where is the key?"
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgouLu0kQv
"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."
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡboy1jm3B3c
"So did you find out where Cave 8 is?"
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3enyzmswz
"Yes. Not 100%, but I am pretty sure I should be right this time."
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTr58DhVjy
"Where is it?"
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsLgG6W1Ju
"Remember the dark corridor?" Jacob continued.
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbCGBcXJYx
"Yes. There's a bathroom at the end when you turn left."
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2TSr6aUbO
"I reckoned that's Cave 8."
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPyHrf75JI
"Wait...This makes sense. How come I never thought about this possibility? I am so dumb!"
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeg6NI0F8D3
"Don't blame yourself. The world is simple. It's just that us humans are complicated and impressionable."
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69wo8J3WQ0
"Okay! I will carry you to the bathroom and let's get out of here together!"
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4mtvWc7Bi
"Thanks. Let's go before Father finds out. Have your explosives ready."
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXi5m0wXeZ
Lizard put Jacob on his back and started running to the bathroom. He could feel Jacob's weak breaths.
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFKmMu2GAv
"Are you doing alright? We are almost there!"
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfv5QAB1WAl
"I am fine. Just keep going."
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UM4VwXssi
The air in the dark corridor is moist and thick as usual, and the bathroom door sign still read 505 when they got there.
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00BemlzLX3
Lizard helped Jacob rest in the corner of the room and started to prepare the explosives. Jacob's face looked paler than before.
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIiHXJ4VBa
"I will count down from 5 and light up the explosives. Make sure to cover your head and stay flat on the floor. Okay?"
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRrJU4Zcoo
"Okay."
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRq6wlNo8pt
"5,"
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslGTVw8Ytb
"4,"
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KwJvvHsKE
"3,"
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRf6Zs7rAl
A thought suddenly echoed in his mind when Lizard was counting down.
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIhi5wWqBB
"Don't trust Father. Don't even trust anyone here."
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7nbYytbSx
"2,"
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzM8Lgz2OSy
"1,"
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIAXL0FUdA
"Haha....it's all up to you then. It doesn't have to be 504."
