The mist, like the surge of a vortex, shrouds this twisted land, making it difficult to glimpse the outside world.
Lu Li and Katerina gaze at the spiral Long Houses at the foot of the mountain, which resemble the patterns on a conch shell, sprawling into a town-like expanse.
The situation is more troublesome than they imagined.
The Land of Vortex seems independent of the Ruins of Belfast, shielded from the outside by mist, and within the mist, not a trace of the former forest and city can be found, as if it were another world.
For instance, after entering the Land of Vortex from the district, they find themselves on the mountainside.
The internal Land of Vortex is much more vast than the outside, occupying only half a forest and a few districts; the spiral town at the foot of the mountain is far larger and more complex than a few districts.
The countdown on the pendant is far shorter than they imagined.
"Hold onto the world."
