"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."
760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6znv6gaxS
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.
760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIbMw1nSjR
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.
760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8H5D2S6IMn
Lizard's eyes welled up. "I of course remember!" He took off his jacket and laid it on the little boy's shoulders.
760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ985gbX3UV9
"Good to see you, my brother." said the little boy in a soft voice.
760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBb5SSO7wy8
"Jacob! Strengthen up! What happen to you! Who brought you here? How come you are alive but so sick?" Lizard moaned.
760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTarU3Ynts
"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."
760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxg0cSBlR7
The clicking of the clock is getting louder in Lizard's ears.
760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8dhLeEHph
"I am so confused, Jacob. How can I get out of here? Where is the key?"
760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCxLFfo1D7
"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."
760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNUK9kd3zF
"So did you find out where Cave 8 is?"
760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXQJWevM0z
"Yes. Not 100%, but I am pretty sure I should be right this time."
760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnZlsT7chJ
"Where is it?"
760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDuys888fy
"Remember the dark corridor?" Jacob continued.
760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWODD7yvdF
"Yes. There's a bathroom at the end when you turn left."
760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNHk1NKrOu
"I reckoned that's Cave 8."
760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeB5iQaMowf
"Wait...This makes sense. How come I never thought about this possibility? I am so dumb!"
760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDy4wxCN3uU
"Don't blame yourself. The world is simple. It's just that us humans are complicated and impressionable."
760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkpASNliay
"Okay! I will carry you to the bathroom and let's get out of here together!"
760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYn4tTFI5oq
"Thanks. Let's go before Father finds out. Have your explosives ready."
760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzcJYJ53c8
Lizard put Jacob on his back and started running to the bathroom. He could feel Jacob's weak breaths.
760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOar8OQmHo
"Are you doing alright? We are almost there!"
760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtoMt4vCkR7
"I am fine. Just keep going."
760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjgs9rmGm1
The air in the dark corridor is moist and thick as usual, and the bathroom door sign still read 505 when they got there.
760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcubiFcEY7n
Lizard helped Jacob rest in the corner of the room and started to prepare the explosives. Jacob's face looked paler than before.
760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpG4iTbWQ0N
"I will count down from 5 and light up the explosives. Make sure to cover your head and stay flat on the floor. Okay?"
760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLHmseCaez
"Okay."
760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ262PrY017x
"5,"
760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIJH5vCX3X
"4,"
760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtde1MxaJV
"3,"
760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXxPuVpLYl
A thought suddenly echoed in his mind when Lizard was counting down.
760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIAZEbAXog
"Don't trust Father. Don't even trust anyone here."
760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOg3MkmpAg
"2,"
760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGkrp5DwDf
"1,"
760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wEWGVwkwn
"Haha....it's all up to you then. It doesn't have to be 504."
