Chapter 9 - Chapter 6: The Escape plan

After all what happened. All I have to say is that I am Officially Fed Up.

I'm not angry. I'm not sad. I'm not happy, perhaps I'll be when I'll get out if I do. I miss the days where you didn't have to sacrifice memories and souvenirs about people you love to escape a place I don't even know where I am.

But this is an exception, a life or death situation, while I was looking for a whiteboard, I came across a letter on my receiver, it should be the deadline awaiting for me.

"Hi, again

Let's see... Subject # $@$$&%

Hmmm... Where is this guy's file... I can't believe it, did you already solve this escape room? But still, you have a lot of things to do. I'll give you 16 days to escape, or else neurotoxin. Replay the recording to see how much time left you have.

We hope you succeed in escaping"

Let's see how much time do we have left I guess?

"You have 39 hours 34 mins 51 seconds and 9 milliseconds"

The precision is scary, just like that film where you have an app that tells you exactly when you are going to die to the second.

That's worst because I didn't have a live countdown and I don't know how I'm going to leave yet.

All I know is that I can clean the pipe and perhaps crawl into it reaching the end perhaps.

But I can't crawl into it because the neurotoxin is going to catch up on me and I'll probably die in seconds.

So what I thought of something that pushes me. Since that acid and water makes some kind of steam, I can use that as a pressure that would theoretically push me out through the pipe.

First of all, we are making the pipe cleaner. To be sure it will work I made a slingshot and put a glass on the wall to hear if there are any big bangs like if the pipe turns left or right. Turns out it's a straight line. Good for me.

I have 2 big bottles and a small one I can use, some vinegar and some baking soda. I put the small one inside the big one leaving the cap open on the outside.

Like the reaction between the vinegar and baking soda will create a pressure high enough to push the bottle all the way through by pushing outside.

You put a hole in the big cap and you stick the open little bottle into the cap. What did you not understand?

In the small bottle us the vinegar and the baking soda, in the big one there us hot water so the little bottle can expand and push the water out. Boiling water was not the hardest part, putting holes either.

But putting the pressurized small water bottle inside the big one. It's not about putting it in I can just suck all the air and then put it back that's not the first time I've done things like that but with pressure as high as the one, it will not stay.

So what I did is I slightly cut the up part of the bottle like in 8, pizza style, and bent one in one out, then screwed it in. That should keep it in for a bit of pressure.

With that done, I heat up the water and put it in, screwed the bottle then put the vinegar and the baking soda in a little paper cigar so it will give me time to put it in the pipe before launching it.

Why don't I use that to push myself? No, I'm way too heavy for a little reaction to do anything to that thick booty of mine. I need something like an iron circle or something like that.

But what is going to push me? Then I heard a series of bubbles in the bathroom. The water or the acid must have filled the room.

Probably the water because the pipe that broke had more holes. But that also means that the pressure is building on the inside of the pipe.

I had to work fast and actually managed to finish the cleaning bottle in time to have more time to think of a way to put my booty in and block the acid from reaching me.

The idea of an iron disk is not bad but I don't have it, And I can't make it either. Then I had an idea, sort of.

If it's water inside the bathroom that means it will build pressure on the pipe, bust it open and create pressure so high I won't probably need an iron disk because the steam will push me off and I'll just get pushed off automatically.

On the other hand, if the acid was the one dominating that would mean that I will have to build a disk capable of holding on to the acid long enough to push me off this hell.

I melted the door with a sample of the acid I had left from some experiments and turns out the water is way more dominating than I had though.

But also the bubbles were getting way faster. Following some probabilities, I was able to cook a plan that might actually work.

I have to deactivate the steam vacuum and let the pressure build in the bathroom when it will the steam pressure will be high enough in the pipe to push me off the maze.

I made a hole wide enough to fit my hand in and kept throwing water at the vacuum.

Surprisingly it stopped sucking steam, good for me. Then I shut the hole with a clay sheet I made quickly using flour water salt and a bit of oil, worked pretty well for a second time.

When everything was ready I put myself in the pipe and brought her body over with me.

I miss her voice so much. Why did she have to die every time? Why am I supposed to feel this every time? Why can't life just smile for me damn it?

Bubbles stopped to form in the bathroom. The timer says 30 mins left.

And I'm here holding her body against mine, trying to fit into the pipe, letting one last sadness teardrop off before the manhole bust open and pushed us both out of the maze with a power so high we got launched into the outside world that looked like some kind of natural world with a lot of trees and green.

It didn't last long before we felt from the waterfall we were launched from. And as soon as I hit the water, taking all the fall damage into my back, I lost consciousness again.
