[Assistant] There were several columns of smaller characters on the back, which Shi-yin was just going to examine more closely when the monk, with a cry of 'Here we are, at the frontier of Illusion', snatched the stone from him and disappeared, with the Taoist, through a big stone archway above which THE LAND OF ILLUSION was written in large characters.

Chinese: 它是没有章法，乱了套的，也不按规矩来，到哪算哪的，有点流氓地痞气的。 它不讲什么长篇大论，也不讲什么小道细节，它只是横看来。 它是那种偷袭的方法，从背后擦上一把，转过身却没了影，结果是冤无头，债无主。
English:

[Assistant] Its methods are chaotic, without rhyme, reason, or logic. It goes wherever it wants, swaggering like a hooligan, and wastes no time on long-winded theories, nor does it go into too much detail. It simply spreads across the city, launching surprise attacks; by the time you turn around to see what sneaked up on you from behind, it has already gone without a trace. It leaves in its wake a chain of injustices with no one to take the blame and a string of scores with no one to settle with.
