Once Seventh Master came to his senses, he finally fished out his car keys and hurriedly drove away from that eerie place.
He was driving so fast the car practically took flight, scaring me into hastily buckling my seat belt.
"Seventh Master, slow down!"
"We're going down the mountain! Not down to the Netherworld!"
Judging by how he looked, he really had been badly frightened this time. It was the first time I'd ever seen him this scared.
Though I'd been badly frightened too.
But it really had been terrifying. What we'd just seen and heard had gone completely beyond our understanding.
Neither that black hole nor the sounds coming from inside it could be explained by metaphysics, let alone science.
But that wasn't the most terrifying part. The most terrifying part was going down the mountain.
Riding in Seventh Master's car this time was practically a brush with death. He nearly flipped the car several times.
Fortunately, we made it safely to the foot of the mountain in the end, despite the scares along the way.
Seventh Master sat in the car, took out a bottle of mineral water, and gulped down more than half before he calmed down a little.
Noticing that his backpack wasn't there, I asked if he'd forgotten his things.
"Tomorrow... I'll go get them tomorrow during the day."
"Or maybe I'll get them in a couple of days. Nobody goes to that place anyway."
"Tomorrow's my birthday..." I said.
Mostly, I really didn't want to go back up there.
Although I hadn't seen any ghosts today, it had left me more traumatized than the Luo Residence had.
I needed a couple of days to recover.
Seventh Master turned to look at me. "Whose grand birthday?"
"..."
"My grand birthday."
"My grand twenty-seventh birthday."
