He held an envelope tightly in his hand, which contained instructions for a difficult mission he had never seen before. The lights in the mission area were dim, and the surroundings were shrouded in a mysterious atmosphere. Gelling felt uncomfortable, and his heart was filled with unknown worries, as if something unusual was about to happen.

As he lowered his head to examine the envelope, he caught a glimpse of a figure from the corner of his eye. It was a person wrapped in black gauze, which swayed gently in the breeze, as if floating in the mist. The mysterious person slowly approached, and Gerlin raised his head warily. Through the black gauze, he could only vaguely see a pair of eyes that sparkled like stars.

"Are you Gerling?" The mysterious man's voice was as low as the night wind, with a bit of soft magnetism.

"Yes, who are you?" Gerling tried to calm himself down, although he still felt uneasy.

"My name is Nasi, and I come from the higher-level organization." She smiled slightly, her eyes firm and mysterious. "I have been promoted to a second-class apprentice. I came here today to convey some information to you."

"Second-class apprentice?" Gerlin frowned. Although he knew that Nas must have her own background, he was still full of doubts about this title. "Why did you find me?"

Nas's smile did not fade, as if every smile she made was a well-thought-out choice. "Because the mission you are carrying out is closely related to the safety of my companions. My mission is to ensure that you can successfully complete this mission and protect my companions at the same time."

"Protect my companions?" A trace of doubt flashed through Gerlin's mind. "My mission has nothing to do with anyone."

"Oh, Gerlin." Nas' tone was a little amusing. "Don't you understand yet? This mission may seem simple, but it hides unknown dangers. Many people here are blindly pursuing their own goals, but are unaware of the potential threats."

Gellin felt a sense of foreboding. He said slowly, "As far as I know, I am the only one responsible for this mission."

"Yes, but you and I both know that there is no such thing as a lonely battle in this world." Nas moved closer and whispered, "In this dark mission area, there are many strange forces lurking. And those forces may come and go without a trace, and can devour you in an instant."

"You want me to believe that you are my ally?" Gerlin stared at her calmly. "I just want to complete the mission. I don't need your interference."

Nas sighed softly, and the black veil fluttered gently on her face, with a hint of mystery. "I'm not trying to interfere with your mission, but to help you. The so-called effort sometimes requires more than just individual strength. We need unity." Her tone was filled with urgency, "If you want, I can help you find a breakthrough."

"Breakthrough? What is it?" Gerling couldn't hide his doubts.

Nas seemed to be expecting his reaction and smiled slightly: "In your mission, there is a key location where important information is hidden. As long as you find it, you can get the clue to complete the mission."

"But I don't know if you can be trusted." Gerlin looked sharp, trying to see through her true intentions.

A hint of determination flashed in Nas's eyes. "I have no reason to lie to you, Gerlin. My companions' lives are in your hands, and I don't want to lose anyone I can trust."

At this moment, Gerling's heart wavered. Her words were like a thread, pulling at his underlying worries and responsibilities. After a moment of silence, he finally spoke: "If I choose to believe you, then I hope you can give me some specific information."

Nas nodded and adjusted her posture slightly, as if she was collecting her thoughts. "In the southeast corner of the mission area, there is a secluded alley. You must go there before the moon rises. You need to find a man called 'Raven'. He can tell you more secrets."

"Crow?" Gerling was puzzled. "How can I find him?"

"'The Crow' is well-known in this area. His figure is as mysterious as the night." Nas's voice was full of mystery. "Once you mention 'The Messenger of Light', he will appear."

Gerling wrote down the information one by one and quickly thought of a countermeasure in his mind. "So, how do we proceed?"

Nas's expression became serious again. She stretched out her finger and gently pointed to the depths of the mission area. "You need to act alone tonight and find that alley. After you complete the mission, I will wait here to make sure you can leave safely."

"You won't follow me?" Gerlin frowned, obviously worried.

"I will observe from a distance and ensure the safety of the surroundings." Nasi smiled slightly, as if she had endless confidence, "I won't let you face any danger alone."

Under her gaze, Gerlin could not help but feel an inexplicable power. Although he was still a little hesitant, he chose to believe this mysterious woman. "Okay, I'll try."

"Come on." Nas said softly, with a spark of expectation in her eyes. "You are the messenger of light in this world, don't let the darkness swallow you."

Gellin nodded, silently encouraged himself in his heart, and walked quietly into the depths of the mission area with a hint of uneasiness and expectation.

The moonlight was like water, sprinkling on the quiet streets. Gerling's heart was full of determination. He must find the "crow" and uncover the truth hidden in the shadows. The night seemed to be getting deeper and deeper, and the mysterious atmosphere gradually surrounded him, making him feel both excited and scared.

He walked slowly along the alley, looking for the legendary "crow". Just when he was about to give up, he heard a low and hoarse voice: "Are you looking for me?"

Gerling turned around suddenly and saw a thin man with shadows all over his body leaning against the wall. His face was hidden in the darkness, but he had a deep and strange expression. His piercing eyes flashed a strange light in the moonlight.

"Are you 'Raven'?" Gerling stepped forward with a serious look.

"Exactly." Crow smiled slightly, revealing a row of white teeth, which was in stark contrast to his bleak temperament. "I know why you are here."

"Nas asked me to come to you. She said you could tell me some important information." Gerlin said cautiously, feeling uneasy.

Crow's smile became even more mysterious. He walked slowly in the darkness and pointed to the other side of the alley. "The information is not important, but the consequences it brings are what you need to consider."
