"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."
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0QKxwSxUD
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.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2O3INDqtPB
He approached the body gradually until they made eye contact.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdjan95dPk
"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.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZOPPb8dv4
Lizard's eyes welled up. "I of course remember!" He took off his jacket and laid it on the little boy's shoulders.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LdG0eXPvJ
"Good to see you, my brother." said the little boy in a soft voice.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzPKAtj2AU
"Jacob! Strengthen up! What happen to you! Who brought you here? How come you are alive but so sick?" Lizard moaned.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASbqFEuLIX
"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."
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLndUB5f71d
The clicking of the clock is getting louder in Lizard's ears.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmB86vAOzGF
"I am so confused, Jacob. How can I get out of here? Where is the key?"
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4G692mIVT
"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."
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbax0el38os
"So did you find out where Cave 8 is?"
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hFt6brn3P
"Yes. Not 100%, but I am pretty sure I should be right this time."
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxm0bS01kN
"Where is it?"
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7iMUE9e7G
"Remember the dark corridor?" Jacob continued.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYMNq1mug5
"Yes. There's a bathroom at the end when you turn left."
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXuQzoH8qu
"I reckoned that's Cave 8."
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RsKRBD8Dq
"Wait...This makes sense. How come I never thought about this possibility? I am so dumb!"
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwjxAX30qo
"Don't blame yourself. The world is simple. It's just that us humans are complicated and impressionable."
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkr80vNA4n
"Okay! I will carry you to the bathroom and let's get out of here together!"
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwCiqx12n3
"Thanks. Let's go before Father finds out. Have your explosives ready."
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TPTOWU6eR
Lizard put Jacob on his back and started running to the bathroom. He could feel Jacob's weak breaths.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWynLPWSpiu
"Are you doing alright? We are almost there!"
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5AXE2cjgJ
"I am fine. Just keep going."
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocp3nestoB
The air in the dark corridor is moist and thick as usual, and the bathroom door sign still read 505 when they got there.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YAm0P7HH2
Lizard helped Jacob rest in the corner of the room and started to prepare the explosives. Jacob's face looked paler than before.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsOVRLqq20
"I will count down from 5 and light up the explosives. Make sure to cover your head and stay flat on the floor. Okay?"
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHxH9gVI5j
"Okay."
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrNksRmhwK
"5,"
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyl2QmaZwQD
"4,"
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarBMzBGps6
"3,"
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jxVF2R6yB
A thought suddenly echoed in his mind when Lizard was counting down.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJ0ObTkzRJ
"Don't trust Father. Don't even trust anyone here."
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWSFcJl6Lw
"2,"
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm36o2VgmDQ
"1,"
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4MpEzBRKU
"Haha....it's all up to you then. It doesn't have to be 504."
