The night, as thick and dark as ink, pressed heavily upon the earth, as if striving to crush all resistance and struggle in the world. Amidst the mountain forest, the members of Netherworld Squad moved forward silently like ghosts. Every step was taken with the utmost care, their shoe soles brushing lightly against the ground, trying hard not to make the slightest sound that might break the dead silence and attract the attention of the Japanese Army. Moonlight struggled to pierce through the dense branches and leaves, casting mottled, shattered shadows on the ground, adding a sense of mystery and danger to their operation.
