"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."
779Please respect copyright.PENANAPWOg9UekNc
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.
779Please respect copyright.PENANAgeXSsFutm1
He approached the body gradually until they made eye contact.
779Please respect copyright.PENANAhcCv2sVmAu
"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.
779Please respect copyright.PENANA1Mg5ryoB4P
Lizard's eyes welled up. "I of course remember!" He took off his jacket and laid it on the little boy's shoulders.
779Please respect copyright.PENANAsiVpKJMi5c
"Good to see you, my brother." said the little boy in a soft voice.
779Please respect copyright.PENANAgoinoytODk
"Jacob! Strengthen up! What happen to you! Who brought you here? How come you are alive but so sick?" Lizard moaned.
779Please respect copyright.PENANA2ytmV0lNyH
"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."
779Please respect copyright.PENANAzzfjjHclJB
The clicking of the clock is getting louder in Lizard's ears.
779Please respect copyright.PENANAhDMTv9qCjs
"I am so confused, Jacob. How can I get out of here? Where is the key?"
779Please respect copyright.PENANATdyRw0Qz49
"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."
779Please respect copyright.PENANAyqPsII10p8
"So did you find out where Cave 8 is?"
779Please respect copyright.PENANANt5wFaFOhf
"Yes. Not 100%, but I am pretty sure I should be right this time."
779Please respect copyright.PENANA7glvxoej9R
"Where is it?"
779Please respect copyright.PENANAJIdt6TcMj9
"Remember the dark corridor?" Jacob continued.
779Please respect copyright.PENANAxHOQT6xMO2
"Yes. There's a bathroom at the end when you turn left."
779Please respect copyright.PENANAyk0NPvMYAR
"I reckoned that's Cave 8."
779Please respect copyright.PENANALAjhHzen0w
"Wait...This makes sense. How come I never thought about this possibility? I am so dumb!"
779Please respect copyright.PENANAxOLzXESolW
"Don't blame yourself. The world is simple. It's just that us humans are complicated and impressionable."
779Please respect copyright.PENANAFam3zI8i9o
"Okay! I will carry you to the bathroom and let's get out of here together!"
779Please respect copyright.PENANAKEn7h5zNV9
"Thanks. Let's go before Father finds out. Have your explosives ready."
779Please respect copyright.PENANAN9P2V0JUec
Lizard put Jacob on his back and started running to the bathroom. He could feel Jacob's weak breaths.
779Please respect copyright.PENANAWIvKSidKwr
"Are you doing alright? We are almost there!"
779Please respect copyright.PENANASBvudFbyPb
"I am fine. Just keep going."
779Please respect copyright.PENANAW3J37k68il
The air in the dark corridor is moist and thick as usual, and the bathroom door sign still read 505 when they got there.
779Please respect copyright.PENANA2jwgxQH66o
Lizard helped Jacob rest in the corner of the room and started to prepare the explosives. Jacob's face looked paler than before.
779Please respect copyright.PENANAwbI6maEk0W
"I will count down from 5 and light up the explosives. Make sure to cover your head and stay flat on the floor. Okay?"
779Please respect copyright.PENANAQm5vxaJrwY
"Okay."
779Please respect copyright.PENANAkvUKtWTmky
"5,"
779Please respect copyright.PENANAfWYCNDDNmQ
"4,"
779Please respect copyright.PENANAHQ3odCcOmj
"3,"
779Please respect copyright.PENANAbBvyB2Ytkg
A thought suddenly echoed in his mind when Lizard was counting down.
779Please respect copyright.PENANAIr6gUPKpow
"Don't trust Father. Don't even trust anyone here."
779Please respect copyright.PENANALpZjYfh4Gp
"2,"
779Please respect copyright.PENANAqb19uxrlt1
"1,"
779Please respect copyright.PENANAdtDQ6LiIO1
"Haha....it's all up to you then. It doesn't have to be 504."
