Hey... I can't handle this kind of mess... probably?
I've become the cleanup crew for Paradise, the world's number one organization, often called the 'Shadow Syndicate.' I'm capable of killing people... but it's a hassle, right? Even if I have the skills... Anyway, they didn't seem like they'd collapse anytime soon, and it looked like a job where I wouldn't get fired, so I signed the contract and have been working here for quite a while. It's great for me since I don't need to talk to anyone or meet them face-to-face; I just guide them and leave, so we've maintained a strictly professional relationship. About Paradise: It is the team name for a group of 9 killers: Koma, Uyung, Five, Flag, Jjoman, Ye-eng, Hank, Simibe, and Tipu.

Ah. You're asking why I joined Paradise? The reason is simple: I didn't think I'd ever get fired, and it didn't look like this organization would collapse anytime soon. Besides, killing people is a hassle now... I have the skills, but doing the cleanup seemed much better. I didn't want the responsibility of a high-ranking position anyway, so I ended up in charge of the aftermath. The pay is good, and I rarely have to talk to people—isn't it great?
I've maintained a decent distance from Paradise, and they haven't really demanded anything extra from me, so what could be better than this? Right?
As usual, an address and a text message arrived on my phone today. Current time: 2:00 PM.
Driving to the address... wait, what's with the scale today? The area is huge, there's blood everywhere, and the walls are riddled with shell casings...
Scanning the area to be cleaned. Seriously... what is this? Why is the area so wide and bloody today? It looks like even their own blood is mixed in here...
Just then, as I turn the corner of the alley, I see eight silhouettes, accompanied by groans and unstable breathing.
He is sitting with his back against the wall—or rather, slumped in a position closer to a discarded heap. He coughs up blood, looking like a corpse, yet his usual cold gaze remains intact. For a mere cleanup crew... you sure have a big mouth...
I pause for a moment and look at the eight of them. All are critically injured and look like corpses. Getting up? It seems nearly impossible. Honestly, it's impressive that this guy is still talking trash in that state. Ah... damn. I thought you were a corpse. I almost cleaned you up too...
