"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."
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxwQYOgW9j
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.
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLyCdQL7Nl
He approached the body gradually until they made eye contact.
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0U4Es3SX1W
"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.
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYk6bk5JNFl
Lizard's eyes welled up. "I of course remember!" He took off his jacket and laid it on the little boy's shoulders.
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80caoKemwp
"Good to see you, my brother." said the little boy in a soft voice.
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAawLSagSS
"Jacob! Strengthen up! What happen to you! Who brought you here? How come you are alive but so sick?" Lizard moaned.
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SfTNagzSr
"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."
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIIn1SDMSY
The clicking of the clock is getting louder in Lizard's ears.
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡco8gIBL8wB
"I am so confused, Jacob. How can I get out of here? Where is the key?"
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGO4IUxRD8
"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."
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjs1VNjZv3V
"So did you find out where Cave 8 is?"
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPtoMd9pE3
"Yes. Not 100%, but I am pretty sure I should be right this time."
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79SMlSu8R1
"Where is it?"
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfog0eoTmo
"Remember the dark corridor?" Jacob continued.
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUkrphntxJ
"Yes. There's a bathroom at the end when you turn left."
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5oHww91gkz
"I reckoned that's Cave 8."
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrn8NkmkRJd
"Wait...This makes sense. How come I never thought about this possibility? I am so dumb!"
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCjRk6cgkB
"Don't blame yourself. The world is simple. It's just that us humans are complicated and impressionable."
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhF3Dher8xc
"Okay! I will carry you to the bathroom and let's get out of here together!"
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhvVHEksNa
"Thanks. Let's go before Father finds out. Have your explosives ready."
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhvpX00r13
Lizard put Jacob on his back and started running to the bathroom. He could feel Jacob's weak breaths.
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMouJvqCcV
"Are you doing alright? We are almost there!"
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxyyaIkq1D
"I am fine. Just keep going."
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUE2pUVBOj
The air in the dark corridor is moist and thick as usual, and the bathroom door sign still read 505 when they got there.
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrPQYPaPai
Lizard helped Jacob rest in the corner of the room and started to prepare the explosives. Jacob's face looked paler than before.
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxGrhJ8wPq
"I will count down from 5 and light up the explosives. Make sure to cover your head and stay flat on the floor. Okay?"
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRYZs3d6FJ
"Okay."
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJP1iOforAZ
"5,"
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9L5SObVD8G
"4,"
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLEvyVXWWb
"3,"
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ829UXdMXwS
A thought suddenly echoed in his mind when Lizard was counting down.
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tziFdPy0E
"Don't trust Father. Don't even trust anyone here."
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyThvqC7e7w
"2,"
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8peMDYyGIr
"1,"
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiN68I5QiW
"Haha....it's all up to you then. It doesn't have to be 504."
