When the curtain of reality is quietly torn aside, ancient legends are no longer mere delusions. Strange objects, forgotten, buried, and sealed away, return to this seemingly peaceful world, bringing with them dusty histories and unsolved mysteries.
The Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs is a group of watchers who walk the line between light and darkness, charged with maintaining the stability of the real world.
When a Warring States bronze lamp illuminates the whispers of the dead, when a lost Kunqu opera echoes through the midnight "Pear Garden," when ancient puppets manipulate the hearts of men, when the "Mingtai Mirror" reflects the distortions of parallel worlds... The Ninth Squad, SMB's elite team, must repeatedly plunge into the heart of the mystery and confront the secret organization lurking in the shadows, manipulating strange objects and toying with fate: "Ouroboros."
From ancient ruins that have been "forgotten" to black-market deals rife with hidden currents, from unfathomable human hearts to curses cast by strange objects spanning a thousand years, they use their mortal bodies to face the onslaught of supernatural forces. Yet gradually, they discover that the greatest enemy comes not only from outside, but also from within each of them: the desire for power, an obsession with the past, a fear of the future...
As the boundary between reality and illusion grows blurred, and the line between "existence" and "annihilation" fades, who can truly see the truth behind this game of chess? And what choices will these watchers in the shadows make to protect this world, teetering on the brink of collapse?
