"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."
775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHomytn3d5
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.
775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25Y2PgkIE7
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.
775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMInA7eKFK
Lizard's eyes welled up. "I of course remember!" He took off his jacket and laid it on the little boy's shoulders.
775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEuUJVsZ8j
"Good to see you, my brother." said the little boy in a soft voice.
775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKlQJq4y2Q
"Jacob! Strengthen up! What happen to you! Who brought you here? How come you are alive but so sick?" Lizard moaned.
775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8jd1Kvq17
"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."
775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzRFKrPgXv
The clicking of the clock is getting louder in Lizard's ears.
775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1sE1Y8PQVx
"I am so confused, Jacob. How can I get out of here? Where is the key?"
775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAd027i94xz
"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."
775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvro7eUqq8
"So did you find out where Cave 8 is?"
775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDifD4ff1c
"Yes. Not 100%, but I am pretty sure I should be right this time."
775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WoL3MJ9qt
"Where is it?"
775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhP7RoglLj
"Remember the dark corridor?" Jacob continued.
775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7A6ktnBNfv
"Yes. There's a bathroom at the end when you turn left."
775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXq69C2Kv2P
"I reckoned that's Cave 8."
775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5B49DZzVs
"Wait...This makes sense. How come I never thought about this possibility? I am so dumb!"
775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpcdd0ZsBo
"Don't blame yourself. The world is simple. It's just that us humans are complicated and impressionable."
775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPkvDipif7
"Okay! I will carry you to the bathroom and let's get out of here together!"
775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcXGlVHD7M
"Thanks. Let's go before Father finds out. Have your explosives ready."
775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrn8B0sx5bg
Lizard put Jacob on his back and started running to the bathroom. He could feel Jacob's weak breaths.
775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPxIDR33Nu
"Are you doing alright? We are almost there!"
775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINI2a54yRE
"I am fine. Just keep going."
775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFmkvG5MuX
The air in the dark corridor is moist and thick as usual, and the bathroom door sign still read 505 when they got there.
775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUjmt3YH4y
Lizard helped Jacob rest in the corner of the room and started to prepare the explosives. Jacob's face looked paler than before.
775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIoMhn8WrQ
"I will count down from 5 and light up the explosives. Make sure to cover your head and stay flat on the floor. Okay?"
775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SsN3dV7eo
"Okay."
775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjcuvsbmfi
"5,"
775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4sLGmK3KI
"4,"
775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj22eWITXjS
"3,"
775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdwEc26sFV
A thought suddenly echoed in his mind when Lizard was counting down.
775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡye6WQc8b91
"Don't trust Father. Don't even trust anyone here."
775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqcnR5aunm
"2,"
775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqga6rD6Sc
"1,"
775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TcLeMHpkt
"Haha....it's all up to you then. It doesn't have to be 504."
