“Seven-eight-five-six”

Tick Tick.

“Tsk!”

“Seven-eight-six-five”

Tick tick.

“Nope!”

“Seven-six-five-eight”

Tick tick.

“Arghhh!!!”

“Must be this one!… Seven-six-eight-five”

Tick tick.

“Oh Come on! Why? Why? Why!?” I screamed in frustration

“Why the fuck do you have to use COMBINATION lock!!!???”

“Hah-hah…” My breathe felt heavy.

My face reddened as my heartbeat raised.

Sweat all over my body.

Shit…

I underestimated them…

Those girls are so crazy indeed...

For some unknown reason, the girls put me inside an iron cage, with a huge four digits combination lock.

I had tried everything, from bending and chewing the bars, to even used my paws to dig a tunnel.

But in the end, nothing worked.

The only way out is to crack this fucking lock open!

“Hah - hahh” felt like I could do some killing.

I’m shaking...

“Calm down me, calm down... “ I spoke to myself, as I clenched my fists and grinned my teeth trying to stay calm.

Fiiiiiiiifffff…. I inhaled many air.

Fuuuuuuu….~ - And exhaled slowly.

“Yes! One more time!”

Fiiiiiiiifffff….~

Fuuuuuuuuuu….~

“One more!”

Fiiiiiiiifffff….~

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu….~

Somehow, it worked.

My heart slowly regain its calm.

“...Good! Let’s try again!”

This time, I closed my eyes, searched through my memories…

Woooosh!

I dived into the memory vortex of the far past…

And then, I saw it!

The face of my dear old brother as he spoke this poem in an old guru voice:

“When inside the Escape room,

don’t over think, and don’t you panic.

Look for clues that are obvious,

things that are not supposed to be

there…

The answer will come to you.

And remember, no matter what,

stay cool.”

Yes, brother.

Stay cool.

Stay cool…

However,

Hmmm...

Weird, I’ve already looked at everything.

So why?

Why?

There’s still something I missed?

Hmmm...

Okay!

Again!

Firstly, pebbles.

One-two-three-four-five-six-seven pebbles.

So, the first number must be seven!

Secondly, flower pots.

One-two-three-four-five-six flower pots.

Hmmm… six it is!

Next, bars.

One-two-three-four-five-six-seven-eight iron bars.

Must be eight then.

And, finally, those weird looking rocks next to my cage.

Very obvious clue.

Must be it!

One-two-three-fo-...

“Oink! What the hell are you doing!? It’s so creepy Oink!”

“What???”

A round looking animal with pink skin screamed at me as I was looking at the final clue.

A … pig?

“Oink! Why are you looking at my poop?” It shouted again.

What?

“What?? Your what!??”

“MY POOP!! Why-are-you-staring-at-MY-POOP!? … PASSIONATELY!”

What!?

Wait a minute…

Seriously?

These rocks are poops?

“Your p-p-pooop?”

“YES! My poop! They belong to ME! And who the hell are you? A poop bunny?”

Poop bunny?

What the hell is a poop bunny?

“NO! I’m not! I am... Ehhh… Ey! Who the fuck are you??”

“Answer my my question first, Oink! Pervert!”

What?

Per what!??

“Pervert! Pervert!!!”

What!?

WhY??

“Stop it! Why the hell are you calling me that!?”

“You are not a poop bunny! Then you’re a pervert! A poop pervert!”

Ey!

Seriously??

“What the hell is a poop pervert!?? Are you insane??”

“Oink! Pervert! Poop pervert!! POOVERT!”

“NO! Cut it out! I’m NOT! I’m telling you, I’m no POOP BUNNY and I’m NOT a Poooover-whatever!!”

“Hmmmmmmmmm...” The pig then stared at me.

Stareeeeeeeeeeeeeee...

“Ey!”

“Oink? You’re not?”

“Yes!”

“Oink? Are you sure?”

“Yes!”

“Hmmm... you know…oink...”

“Huh?”

“It’s not like…”

“Huh?...”

“I-i…”

“What??? you what!????

“I! -...”

“Huh?”

“IT’S NOT LIKE I HATE IT BAKAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!”

Holy shit!!!

I frozed…

Two steps back… then froze again…

I wished the cage was wider...

“Well...”

“You can have them if you want…”

"I know that bunny has a thing for poop, oink..."

“But it’s just a little bit... “

“Embarrassed you know?”

LIKE HELL I KNOW!!!!

And then, we stared at each other again,

Awkwardly...

“Y-y-you... seriously... don’t want my… p-??”

“NO!!!! I’m NOT! I don’t want anything with your SHIT!!!!”

“So why was you STARINGGGG!!!!!!!”

“I was just looking for a CLUEEEEE!!!”

“Who would look for clue in THATTTTT!!!!

“It’s for the fawking combination lock right THERE!!!”

“What?”

“It’s for the LOCK!”

“Oink? Seriously?”

“Yes, I’m serious! I was looking for clues for the combination lock and just happened to saw your fucking poop!”

“What are you saying? Oink? What do you mean clues ????...”

“Jeeeezzz!!! I mean…”

“Oink! Thunder_xXx_Thunder, were you seriously looking for clues like that?”

“Well, yes...”

“It’s not going to work!””

“What? What are you saying?”

“Just think about it, oink! Who the heck was stupid enough to lock you up and then put clues inside your cage so you can find it and escape? oink???”

Heh?

“Oh no… Pingy, you’re… right!”

“Of course I am! Oink! Well, if you want to get out that badly…

“I just happened to know the numbers, oink…”

“What??? You do!??? What is it?? Tell me!”

“I can tell you … but … what… what do i gain from helping you ?”

Huh?

Is she wanting something from me??

As I wondering about that, I noticed Pingy' eyes fixed to the thing next to me.

“Well, I can give you … this?”I pointed at all green stuffs that Misty gave me.

“OINK!”

Aha!

“Can I have them all ?”

“Yes! Just give me the numbers”

“Okay oink~”

Yes! Finally! I can can get out of here!

“It’s -...”

But then, Pingy stopped…

“What? What are the numbers? Ey! Tell me!”

“On a second thought, oink! There must be a reason why Meetty locked you inside the cage!”

“No! There is NOT even a single reason!!!”

“I won’t trust you! Oink! You don’t have the eyes of an innocent you know?”

“My eyes what? Why!?”

“You might look cute, but I can see your eyes filled with darkness and death! Oink!”

What? How can you even see that shit?

“You might be a wanted criminal! Oink!”

“No! I’m NOT!”

“Or a serial killer!”

“No!!!!!”

“Or even a Demon Lord!”

Shit!

“How the hell can you even come up with that!!????”

“Like I said, it’s all reflected in your eyes, oink! The shadow of all the victims .... oinkkkkk … It gives me chills …”

“What? Please !!! Please believe me!!!”

“I’m sorry Mr Bunny, I am not the one to decide. Oink. You will have to wait for Meetty to release you.”

And then, Pingy turned around and walked away…

“Wait!!! No!!! Pleaseee!!!”

“I’m sorry!!! I can’t! OINK!!!”

“Waittt!!!! I DON’T WANT TO GO TO DOCTOR BIZARRE!!!!”

Suddenly, the Pig stopped.

And she returned!

“On another second thought, Oink, I will release you right now.” Pingy said, with a serious face. “Doctor BIZARRE is bad! Oink! You might even lose your life !”

“What? What do you know about him?”

“Well, I met him a while ago, oink, and he gave me this thing called DIET! Oink!"

DIET?

Oh no… It has the word “DIE” in it!

Holy shit!

Poor Pingy...

“I’m very sorry. That sounds every...”

“I know, oink, that thing is pure evil. So run away! Run away oink!”

“Yes! Thank you very much!”

“The code is One-two-three-four oink”

What???

Clank Clank!

“Yes! It opened!”

“Yeah! Now go! Oink!”

“Thank you!”

“You’re welcome, oink. But-”

“Huh?”

“You sure you don’t want this? Oink?” Pingy said and pointed at the green stuffs.

“Ah, no thanks. You can have it all.”

“You seriously sure? Oink? It’s very delicious you know?”

“Ahh, I’m sure. I don’t want it. I’m only wanting to have some m-...”

Wait...

Wait a second!!!

“What? Oink? Some what?”

“Oink!?? Why are you staring at me like that oink???”

“And w-why are your eyes sparkling oinkkk!?!???

"Oink? Are you drooling????”

“Wait! Wait!!! Oink!!! Wait!!!

“Nooo!!! Noooooo!!! Don’t come here! Oink!!! Stoppp!!!”

“Noooo!!!! OINKKKK!!!! NOOOOO!!! OINKKKKKKKKK!!!”

"OINKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!"
