"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."
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PvnAzRJKh
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.
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGdEjZbfC2
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.
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZQQRjjG7Z
Lizard's eyes welled up. "I of course remember!" He took off his jacket and laid it on the little boy's shoulders.
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXk98JuoanC
"Good to see you, my brother." said the little boy in a soft voice.
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUisVkhuSO
"Jacob! Strengthen up! What happen to you! Who brought you here? How come you are alive but so sick?" Lizard moaned.
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnartv53Yh
"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."
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMaovAp9WQ
The clicking of the clock is getting louder in Lizard's ears.
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrphG2tZ3LV
"I am so confused, Jacob. How can I get out of here? Where is the key?"
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWYguY8Ihq
"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."
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uP7bFWqZQ
"So did you find out where Cave 8 is?"
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MuHr7syJF
"Yes. Not 100%, but I am pretty sure I should be right this time."
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1vHpLkscM
"Where is it?"
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZcKsS0sn9
"Remember the dark corridor?" Jacob continued.
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSj8kBqr9Dk
"Yes. There's a bathroom at the end when you turn left."
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9n8BABPIX
"I reckoned that's Cave 8."
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkeYGMfU6aX
"Wait...This makes sense. How come I never thought about this possibility? I am so dumb!"
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqaIF6j0Led
"Don't blame yourself. The world is simple. It's just that us humans are complicated and impressionable."
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQiI9fiILX
"Okay! I will carry you to the bathroom and let's get out of here together!"
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFt9Kv0oZJm
"Thanks. Let's go before Father finds out. Have your explosives ready."
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2J8trT9tIB
Lizard put Jacob on his back and started running to the bathroom. He could feel Jacob's weak breaths.
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwIxEVBf0TQ
"Are you doing alright? We are almost there!"
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnygoF5aQnO
"I am fine. Just keep going."
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SeXRX7j51
The air in the dark corridor is moist and thick as usual, and the bathroom door sign still read 505 when they got there.
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKp8XeM7Jx
Lizard helped Jacob rest in the corner of the room and started to prepare the explosives. Jacob's face looked paler than before.
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqTd1BmSzO
"I will count down from 5 and light up the explosives. Make sure to cover your head and stay flat on the floor. Okay?"
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAOZhHlrDK
"Okay."
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuopADaaZQ
"5,"
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtF6eVnoxm
"4,"
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEIqTnQMiQ
"3,"
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtklPGwuOoC
A thought suddenly echoed in his mind when Lizard was counting down.
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6HrNXRte6
"Don't trust Father. Don't even trust anyone here."
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBadRvXtoJ
"2,"
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69NdE9LNqv
"1,"
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmm4lJMwabP
"Haha....it's all up to you then. It doesn't have to be 504."
