"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."
892Please respect copyright.PENANAuyNY3ZACYN
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.
892Please respect copyright.PENANAAjQJrI7YPE
He approached the body gradually until they made eye contact.
892Please respect copyright.PENANAnEeAVepKYe
"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.
892Please respect copyright.PENANA7ymPNeszxx
Lizard's eyes welled up. "I of course remember!" He took off his jacket and laid it on the little boy's shoulders.
892Please respect copyright.PENANA7AJ5kk8Qzl
"Good to see you, my brother." said the little boy in a soft voice.
892Please respect copyright.PENANA436El53FVg
"Jacob! Strengthen up! What happen to you! Who brought you here? How come you are alive but so sick?" Lizard moaned.
892Please respect copyright.PENANA3BhHPo7yS8
"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."
892Please respect copyright.PENANAeThA7164IW
The clicking of the clock is getting louder in Lizard's ears.
892Please respect copyright.PENANAGdCOG6l5su
"I am so confused, Jacob. How can I get out of here? Where is the key?"
892Please respect copyright.PENANAF2pA0tANbx
"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."
892Please respect copyright.PENANAtg7VTvhiqi
"So did you find out where Cave 8 is?"
892Please respect copyright.PENANAuS3QBjeItf
"Yes. Not 100%, but I am pretty sure I should be right this time."
892Please respect copyright.PENANAuLaNJMSVJX
"Where is it?"
892Please respect copyright.PENANAyLhyKKUTlq
"Remember the dark corridor?" Jacob continued.
892Please respect copyright.PENANAImA7H494S6
"Yes. There's a bathroom at the end when you turn left."
892Please respect copyright.PENANA2gAvCEy2Xk
"I reckoned that's Cave 8."
892Please respect copyright.PENANA5Bo9NU9m4a
"Wait...This makes sense. How come I never thought about this possibility? I am so dumb!"
892Please respect copyright.PENANAgNFwcXpShr
"Don't blame yourself. The world is simple. It's just that us humans are complicated and impressionable."
892Please respect copyright.PENANAEYtu0yRJqz
"Okay! I will carry you to the bathroom and let's get out of here together!"
892Please respect copyright.PENANAyG3Ae9hvw3
"Thanks. Let's go before Father finds out. Have your explosives ready."
892Please respect copyright.PENANAdm7kjSR9c0
Lizard put Jacob on his back and started running to the bathroom. He could feel Jacob's weak breaths.
892Please respect copyright.PENANAzOAoUMqqLx
"Are you doing alright? We are almost there!"
892Please respect copyright.PENANAeRH285TK9R
"I am fine. Just keep going."
892Please respect copyright.PENANAEHyFJkusxe
The air in the dark corridor is moist and thick as usual, and the bathroom door sign still read 505 when they got there.
892Please respect copyright.PENANAawd33yck6y
Lizard helped Jacob rest in the corner of the room and started to prepare the explosives. Jacob's face looked paler than before.
892Please respect copyright.PENANARKErGGDRha
"I will count down from 5 and light up the explosives. Make sure to cover your head and stay flat on the floor. Okay?"
892Please respect copyright.PENANAcByppowULg
"Okay."
892Please respect copyright.PENANAS6gHeW8kKo
"5,"
892Please respect copyright.PENANAY82mtBtGlr
"4,"
892Please respect copyright.PENANAU0BfVHghWc
"3,"
892Please respect copyright.PENANAz950RiCr6J
A thought suddenly echoed in his mind when Lizard was counting down.
892Please respect copyright.PENANAENNwPAYNuF
"Don't trust Father. Don't even trust anyone here."
892Please respect copyright.PENANA3W23HKMPs9
"2,"
892Please respect copyright.PENANASO7Cg0NFcy
"1,"
892Please respect copyright.PENANAIn4O7SgoCV
"Haha....it's all up to you then. It doesn't have to be 504."
