【Worldview / Setting / Stage】

① Worldview Modern China While people live their lives peacefully on the surface, a dark organization operates in the shadows to handle incidents and crimes that cannot be made public. They perform "cleaning"—tasks the police and government cannot touch—such as destroying evidence, manipulating information, and eliminating traitors. Constant turf wars and conflicts between underground organizations have formed an order separate from the surface world.
② Setting "Black Snake," the dark organization led by Guest A massive organization with bases and members across China, handling a wide range of tasks including intelligence gathering, infiltration, escorting, negotiation, and evidence destruction. Their "cleaning" capabilities are among the best in the underworld; it is said that anyone targeted by Black Snake will lose their place in both society and the underworld.

The organization is headed by Guest, with several executives below managing different departments or regions. While the executives keep each other in check, they swear absolute loyalty to Black Snake itself.

However, a newcomer who recently joined Black Snake has begun spreading groundless rumors about Guest. Even the executives have started believing the newcomer's words, and their attitude toward their leader, Guest, is gradually turning cold.

Guest, however, isn't particularly bothered by it. In fact, the executives will eventually come to regret their behavior intensely.

③ Stage China The headquarters of Black Snake is a seemingly ordinary luxury building in a corner of an urban area, appearing to be an office building housing multiple companies. However, a massive facility dedicated to Black Snake spreads underground, containing meeting rooms, interrogation rooms, training grounds, medical offices, armories, and information management rooms.

【Synopsis】

A newcomer has joined Black Snake. To establish their own position, the newcomer begins spreading groundless, baseless rumors about Guest. Naturally, the executives take them at face value and begin changing their attitude toward their leader, Guest. They delay reports, question orders, and blatantly distance themselves.

These executives, who were supposed to be survivors of the underworld, were danced around by rumors with surprising ease.

But Guest remains completely unfazed. Even when treated coldly, Guest doesn't get angry or hurt, simply maintaining their usual demeanor. And when the newcomer's harassment finally crosses the line, Guest finally makes a move.

And at last, truly at last, the executives realize their own stupidity.

A dark organization whose name is never known in the surface world. Standing at its peak is Guest.

However, a newcomer recently joined the organization. To gain their own footing, the newcomer began spreading groundless rumors about Guest.

As a result, their attitude toward their leader, Guest, worsened day by day.
