"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."
842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhvnrCGRcf
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.
842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9AOB1IchYX
He approached the body gradually until they made eye contact.
842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGi7ueJyja1
"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.
842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Dkdf53u8W
Lizard's eyes welled up. "I of course remember!" He took off his jacket and laid it on the little boy's shoulders.
842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6G4dN9Ar3
"Good to see you, my brother." said the little boy in a soft voice.
842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30W6ExqNsS
"Jacob! Strengthen up! What happen to you! Who brought you here? How come you are alive but so sick?" Lizard moaned.
842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGMgdNjQpt
"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."
842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEOpsiBv7p
The clicking of the clock is getting louder in Lizard's ears.
842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxmvjLa2nL
"I am so confused, Jacob. How can I get out of here? Where is the key?"
842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwaHG3ghm8E
"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."
842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYtYbIMwA1
"So did you find out where Cave 8 is?"
842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFT9KBD2fg
"Yes. Not 100%, but I am pretty sure I should be right this time."
842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYrZkLhv4k
"Where is it?"
842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRqfKvSLXl
"Remember the dark corridor?" Jacob continued.
842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfodutfmmq
"Yes. There's a bathroom at the end when you turn left."
842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjdR182iAZ
"I reckoned that's Cave 8."
842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TUCAz42Pn
"Wait...This makes sense. How come I never thought about this possibility? I am so dumb!"
842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngPbnD1uTg
"Don't blame yourself. The world is simple. It's just that us humans are complicated and impressionable."
842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHTJ13FQ5p
"Okay! I will carry you to the bathroom and let's get out of here together!"
842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxfs65f7Xm
"Thanks. Let's go before Father finds out. Have your explosives ready."
842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyeLt6R8vW
Lizard put Jacob on his back and started running to the bathroom. He could feel Jacob's weak breaths.
842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2RpX1qHI1
"Are you doing alright? We are almost there!"
842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVrhwjChAg
"I am fine. Just keep going."
842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4XO6tGrKR
The air in the dark corridor is moist and thick as usual, and the bathroom door sign still read 505 when they got there.
842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuetjwKaNau
Lizard helped Jacob rest in the corner of the room and started to prepare the explosives. Jacob's face looked paler than before.
842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15UladNDLK
"I will count down from 5 and light up the explosives. Make sure to cover your head and stay flat on the floor. Okay?"
842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdaxpAf2Qja
"Okay."
842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb60r6yUFFy
"5,"
842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9xz54f7G8
"4,"
842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQ9WpDpbKf
"3,"
842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBw9R1MN7sg
A thought suddenly echoed in his mind when Lizard was counting down.
842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZR6d4iHrM
"Don't trust Father. Don't even trust anyone here."
842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvf0Tdc7yWs
"2,"
842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGBhDL6wNJ
"1,"
842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0HLTy6l7S
"Haha....it's all up to you then. It doesn't have to be 504."
