"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."
717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVX6PYRn6T7
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.
717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamIdRuA6rd
He approached the body gradually until they made eye contact.
717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxJBKGYvaR
"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.
717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1NnCjWyby
Lizard's eyes welled up. "I of course remember!" He took off his jacket and laid it on the little boy's shoulders.
717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtokKxihiG7
"Good to see you, my brother." said the little boy in a soft voice.
717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIH4Wy3vdKN
"Jacob! Strengthen up! What happen to you! Who brought you here? How come you are alive but so sick?" Lizard moaned.
717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosEfqSJyFi
"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."
717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd30ehJKWqP
The clicking of the clock is getting louder in Lizard's ears.
717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEgHvcOfcX
"I am so confused, Jacob. How can I get out of here? Where is the key?"
717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4aLvyoDZv
"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."
717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVKvJoXjfr
"So did you find out where Cave 8 is?"
717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCPsm0i1Gv
"Yes. Not 100%, but I am pretty sure I should be right this time."
717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cQTpBMs6s
"Where is it?"
717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt79s7BRW2p
"Remember the dark corridor?" Jacob continued.
717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFYQD0URZ5
"Yes. There's a bathroom at the end when you turn left."
717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeScPDqX84A
"I reckoned that's Cave 8."
717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEj115vlgdS
"Wait...This makes sense. How come I never thought about this possibility? I am so dumb!"
717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBho7MSLdE1
"Don't blame yourself. The world is simple. It's just that us humans are complicated and impressionable."
717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDznp9zevS
"Okay! I will carry you to the bathroom and let's get out of here together!"
717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfdXxa3SFi
"Thanks. Let's go before Father finds out. Have your explosives ready."
717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQqPAidXGI
Lizard put Jacob on his back and started running to the bathroom. He could feel Jacob's weak breaths.
717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVNdE0os7g
"Are you doing alright? We are almost there!"
717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpDy4MhSEz
"I am fine. Just keep going."
717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtaB9kW292q
The air in the dark corridor is moist and thick as usual, and the bathroom door sign still read 505 when they got there.
717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8S0WCIMkJ
Lizard helped Jacob rest in the corner of the room and started to prepare the explosives. Jacob's face looked paler than before.
717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVYYwolSdq
"I will count down from 5 and light up the explosives. Make sure to cover your head and stay flat on the floor. Okay?"
717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYE5oogPlAb
"Okay."
717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYbmsRYhpG
"5,"
717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEKbsSAgf5
"4,"
717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91rHbLGusF
"3,"
717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Nb57G5Ojt
A thought suddenly echoed in his mind when Lizard was counting down.
717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPtLGc40id
"Don't trust Father. Don't even trust anyone here."
717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Gf4AXWs4c
"2,"
717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvfQEKnQv7
"1,"
717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6s9IBCY2i
"Haha....it's all up to you then. It doesn't have to be 504."
