TITLE: A Hole in the Mountain

In the 1940s, an adventurer mistakenly wandered into an unknown land. She walked aimlessly, then noticed a weird hole on a mountain in front of her. When she climbed into the hole and came out, another mountain would stand before her with the hole. She then kept climbing into the hole and finally returned to the original world in a misty night.

"The mountains there seemed to be breathing heavily. The hole would suddenly zoom in and out, just like a heart." She said in an interview, and showed the photos she took at that time, "And I've heard some strange noises inside the hole. I don't know how to describe them, but my intuition tells me that they are not from Earth."
