Short filmTranscript
00:00:00I'm Sean Leng, a mortician who handles the bodies.
00:00:03But today, I landed a gig at a private museum as a part-time night guard.
00:00:09Why? Because the pay is insane. It's 10k a day.
00:00:16Why burn it?
00:00:17That way the agreement kicks in.
00:00:20Mr. Leng, welcome to private museum number 9.
00:00:25Listen up. You work a full month, then you get paid.
00:00:28If you don't, you will owe a crazy penalty.
00:00:32For whatever else happens, you're on your own.
00:00:42The hell is that?
00:00:44Our last night guard.
00:00:47No way a man could end up like that.
00:00:49What a heartless witch.
00:00:50So if she gets me to sign, then makes me quit to pocket the penalty fee?
00:00:54A death like that? Even I would be lost.
00:00:57Almost time. I gotta go.
00:01:03Hope you can last longer.
00:01:13Rule 1. Museum hours. Midnight to 6am. Don't show up during the day.
00:01:17Rule 2. If the eyes of the glazed funerary lion move, cover it with a red cloth.
00:01:22Do not lock eyes with it.
00:01:24Rule 3. The bleeding hairpin.
00:01:26If you hear a woman crying, act like you hear nothing.
00:01:30And don't answer any of her questions.
00:01:34Rule 4. The bronze warrior is missing its head.
00:01:38If it comes begging you for a head, toss at the mannequin head from your desk, then lock the office
00:01:42door.
00:01:52Rule 4. Who's trying to pull some ghostly crap?
00:02:00I'm a mortician.
00:02:02I've mended a corpse in pieces, all alone, in the dead of night.
00:02:06No death or horror can surprise me now.
00:02:10Rule 4. The bronze warrior is missing its head.
00:02:12Rule 4. The bronze warrior is missing its head.
00:02:14Rule 4. The bronze warrior is missing its head.
00:02:15What a dump of a museum.
00:02:16Rule 4. How come everything's all busted to hell?
00:02:26Boss, I'm on camera. I didn't break this junk. So don't touch my paycheck.
00:02:33This mess is giving me a headache.
00:02:37There comes my work ethic.
00:02:50No bearing, needs a heavy duty pin.
00:03:13No bearing, needs a heavy duty pin.
00:03:20Pull him up!
00:03:44It's an S rank demon! No way we can handle that! Evacuate the whole city now!
00:04:11Huh? Where does that come from?
00:04:14Still crooked, unstable. Gotta lock it in with a bracket.
00:04:49Perfect.
00:04:50True art, if that were a corpse, the grieving family would worship me.
00:04:57It's a bad thing.
00:05:07Pierced by a hundred yard spike, tied by chains from nowhere, an S-rank demon got wiped out
00:05:12just like that.
00:05:14What demon teamer are we looking at here?
00:05:17Captain White, the S-rank Octo-Arma Sura, is it really just gone?
00:05:21Nope, the power of a demon never disappears.
00:05:24It transfers.
00:05:27Kind of like when you killed a mirror demon and got its power.
00:05:30The power of the S-rank Octo-Arma Sura now belongs to whoever took it down.
00:05:37Who took out the Octo-Arma Sura last night?
00:05:46Who is it?
00:05:47Sean, huge news, the city was locked down last night.
00:05:49They say it's because of this S-rank demon.
00:05:51The news is scrubbed everywhere.
00:05:52My buddy took this picture.
00:05:54Dope.
00:05:54Huh?
00:05:56That's the statue I restored last night.
00:05:59Someone photoshopped it, blew it up and slapped on some lightning.
00:06:02Dumb Chuck.
00:06:02He'll believe any gossip.
00:06:03Stop buying such fake edited crap.
00:06:05I've been a mortician for years, never once seen any real paranormal junk.
00:06:09Get your ass back to work.
00:06:11But come to think of it weird.
00:06:13After a night shift, I'm not even tired.
00:06:15If anything, I feel much stronger.
00:06:20Hold up.
00:06:22When did Rule 5 show up?
00:06:29Did someone find out I restored that statue?
00:06:32And sneak in last night to add this rule, just to pin it on me?
00:06:39Mr. Lang, you...
00:06:41You're still alive?
00:06:42Of course I'm alive.
00:06:44You think I'm a ghost?
00:06:46You made it through night one.
00:06:48Well done.
00:06:49Ms. Swan.
00:06:50The rules have won more than yesterday.
00:06:52Did you guys sneak that in?
00:06:55Stop asking.
00:06:56Just follow every single rule there is.
00:06:58No questions asked.
00:07:00That's how you last longer.
00:07:02Look!
00:07:02I restored that statue.
00:07:03And let me be clear.
00:07:04Long before my shift, that statue had been in pieces.
00:07:06I didn't break it before restoring it.
00:07:08Don't you dock my pay over this.
00:07:10But what?
00:07:11You restored the Octo Armatura?
00:07:14Quick!
00:07:15Take me to it.
00:07:16Now.
00:07:28Huh?
00:07:29You actually restored the Octo Armatura?
00:07:32No doubt.
00:07:32You see, I've had this weird ability.
00:07:34No matter what it misses, one look and I instantly know what it's supposed to look like whole.
00:07:46Over the years as a mortician, I have pieced together countless bodies and received real five-star feedback.
00:07:52Since you restored it, you're responsible for it.
00:07:58If it breaks again, whatever happens, you'll answer for it.
00:08:05Hey!
00:08:05Hey!
00:08:06No way!
00:08:06This thing was always trashed!
00:08:08I restored it!
00:08:09Why is it on me if it breaks again?
00:08:14Are you looking for an excuse to dock my pay?
00:08:18And hey!
00:08:20Tell me this.
00:08:21Tell me this.
00:08:21I restored it.
00:08:22What's in it for me?
00:08:23You've gotten the reward.
00:08:28What reward?
00:08:29I've got nothing.
00:08:31Pretty women are the best liars.
00:08:33Is she trying to score something for nothing?
00:08:35Hmm.
00:08:41All right.
00:08:42You'll keep the reward you've gotten.
00:08:44And as the boss says, for every artifact you restore, I'll throw in an extra 100k.
00:08:50100k per piece?
00:08:52Ms. Swan, now you're talking!
00:08:54You could've just said you'd pay!
00:08:55You've got a deal!
00:08:57Problem solved!
00:08:58Deal!
00:08:58Deal!
00:08:59Being paid, I can restore every single artifact in this whole museum!
00:09:03I'll make them all shine like new!
00:09:19100k per piece.
00:09:2010 pieces?
00:09:21A million.
00:09:21Yeah, jackpot!
00:09:30Here we go.
00:09:32Another night ship.
00:09:32On top of pulling guard duty, tonight I'll restore another artifact.
00:09:50Huh?
00:09:52What happened?
00:09:57Weird.
00:09:58These are not natural cracks.
00:09:59Someone hacked at it with a sword or an axe.
00:10:01Who the hell did this?
00:10:04Is it Mrs. Swan?
00:10:06Guess not.
00:10:07That woman spent all day breathing down my neck like a forewoman.
00:10:10She never got the chance.
00:10:18Screw it, I'll patch it up.
00:10:20Screw it.
00:10:22I'll patch it up.
00:10:29Gonna restore one more piece tonight.
00:10:31Also, I need to step up patrols.
00:10:34Whoever did this, you're done.
00:10:49This is it.
00:10:50A small chip.
00:10:51Easy restore.
00:11:14Once this one's done, that's another 100k.
00:11:29A hundred grand.
00:11:31A hundred grand.
00:11:40A hundred grand.
00:11:42A hundred grand.
00:11:43A hundred grand.
00:11:53A hundred grand.
00:11:54What the hell?
00:11:56Where are my tools?
00:11:58Where did my tools go?
00:11:59They walked off?
00:12:04Who the heck did this?
00:12:11Gotcha.
00:12:26Nobody here?
00:12:27The one who destroyed the Octo-Arm Asura might be just the creep who swiped my tools.
00:12:33Right.
00:12:34The camera.
00:12:35It tells all.
00:12:44Rule 6.
00:12:45Before restoring any artifact, always check how the others around it react.
00:12:53Who's playing ghosts now?
00:12:54So to restore one piece, I need permission from the others here?
00:12:58You're telling me?
00:12:59Those other artifacts stole my tools?
00:13:01Bullshit.
00:13:02No way some metal could come to life.
00:13:05Nah, I'm being played.
00:13:06When I find out who, you're done.
00:13:09Gotta pull up the cameras.
00:13:10Then the truth will come out.
00:13:23The hell?
00:13:24No signal?
00:13:29The cameras got messed with too?
00:13:38This is the last guard's diary.
00:13:42Day 1.
00:13:44I started as the night guard at this museum.
00:13:46Nothing happened the whole night.
00:13:48Easy money.
00:13:49Jackpot.
00:13:50Day 2.
00:13:51While on patrol, I accidentally found that some pieces had changed poses.
00:13:55The bronze warrior's arm was raised higher.
00:13:57The bejeweled lady was staring at me.
00:13:58Ah, they were not in those poses before.
00:14:01Day 3.
00:14:02I told Ms. Swan about it.
00:14:04She said it was all in my head, cause I had too much free time.
00:14:07I could go fix the broken artifacts if I feel bored during the night shift.
00:14:10And she'd pay me a fat bonus for that.
00:14:12Day 4.
00:14:13For the money, I started restoring the broken bronze mirror.
00:14:16But they don't want to be restored.
00:14:17That night, a bronze sword flew out of its display case.
00:14:20It whizzed past my scalp, almost stuck into my skull.
00:14:25I get it now.
00:14:26I shouldn't have restored that thing.
00:14:28I stared at that mirror.
00:14:29My fingers started hardening.
00:14:31It turned white.
00:14:32Like porcelain.
00:14:34Aye, I'm becoming part of it.
00:14:36If what this diary says is true, that pile of porcelain shards I saw was really the last
00:14:41guard.
00:14:42I see, everything clicks, even why my tools got stolen.
00:14:45But this is seriously nuts.
00:14:50Wait a minute.
00:14:51While I was restoring the same mirror, I had my face right in front of it.
00:14:55I also touched it.
00:14:56Why did nothing happen to me?
00:15:00Who's there?
00:15:02Who's there?
00:15:27Who's there?
00:15:29Who does this happen to me?
00:15:32Before restoring any artifact, always check how the others around it react.
00:15:43Screw it, I'm restoring this mirror anyway.
00:16:01Guess I was worried for nothing.
00:16:03Can't believe I bought those shitty rules.
00:16:35Those things really can move.
00:16:50No!
00:16:53No!
00:16:56No!
00:16:56No!
00:16:56No!
00:16:56No!
00:16:59No!
00:17:00No!
00:17:04No!
00:17:08No!
00:17:13No!
00:17:19No!
00:17:20No!
00:17:22No!
00:17:22No!
00:17:23No!
00:17:25No!
00:17:25No!
00:17:26No!
00:17:33No!
00:17:34No!
00:17:36No!
00:17:40No!
00:17:43Are you kidding me?
00:18:10That hunk of junk is literally trying to kill me.
00:18:15I quit! Time to haul ass!
00:18:43What is this? A museum or a haunted house?
00:18:50They play dirty too?
00:18:52No!
00:19:15What is this?
00:19:23Phew, finally stopped.
00:19:52What a shame.
00:19:53They're all busted up.
00:19:56They're all busted up.
00:20:35No way!
00:20:37My wound healed up overnight.
00:20:40What crazy regeneration?
00:20:42Am I even human anymore?
00:20:54Perfect timing!
00:20:56Guess you've figured it out.
00:21:26What?
00:21:28You think you can just walk away now?
00:21:32You restored the Octo-Arma Shura.
00:21:35You saw it yourself.
00:21:37Those things do not want to be restored.
00:21:41What?
00:21:45If you stay here, they may hesitate to mess with you.
00:21:48But if you leave, they'll follow you right out the door.
00:21:55Huh?
00:22:00Stop bluffing with that crap!
00:22:02Fine.
00:22:03Fine.
00:22:03Go ahead and leave.
00:22:05But if you just stick around, starting tonight for every artifact you restore, your pay gets multiplied by 10.
00:22:14By 10?
00:22:15By 10?
00:22:15Before it was 100k per piece.
00:22:17And now?
00:22:18That's a million, right?
00:22:20Yep.
00:22:21I mean...
00:22:22I will do anything for that cash.
00:22:25But you have to tell me what the hell this museum is.
00:22:27Why does all that junk move on its own?
00:22:29Is this place haunted?
00:22:34Mr. Lang, you ask too many questions.
00:22:37At this museum, the truth costs more than anything else.
00:22:40You want answers?
00:22:42Fine.
00:22:42For every artifact you successfully restore, I'll answer one of your questions.
00:22:47Good luck.
00:22:48For tonight.
00:22:50Sure.
00:22:57Rule seven.
00:22:58You're safe only with the Guardians.
00:23:00Assume they like you.
00:23:03Another one just magically appears?
00:23:06The Guardians?
00:23:08So those huge bronze statues are called The Guardians?
00:23:10Then what are those moving things outside?
00:23:12They're cursed?
00:23:13Ghosts?
00:23:13Or maybe they are being suppressed?
00:23:18as for whether they like me i hid there and didn't get kicked out so i'm guessing yeah

00:29:33But this photo gotta be years old.
00:29:41The Olympic Games?
00:29:43Amsterdam?
00:29:46The Olympic Games Amsterdam?
00:29:48That's literally in 1928.
00:29:51Almost a century ago.
00:29:58If this is really Ms. Swan, then she's been alive for over a century?
00:30:02ambulatory?
00:30:21Ah...
00:30:22Ms. Swan, morning.
00:30:24Time to pay up.
00:30:26Pay up?
00:30:27Yeah!
00:30:29I've restored the Headless Bronze Warrior.
00:30:34You restored the headless bronze warrior?
00:30:37No, you didn't.
00:30:38The Octo Armasura was just cracked open.
00:30:41The pieces can be put together, but the head of that bronze warrior was totally gone.
00:30:45How could you fix that?
00:30:47Come on, why the big whoop?
00:30:49Its head was missing, so I just made it a new one.
00:30:55Looks like I was really right about you.
00:30:59Save the flattery.
00:31:05You did promise that every time I restore an artifact, you'll answer a question.
00:31:08So here's my question.
00:31:09Who is the person in this photo?
00:31:11Why does she look exactly like you?
00:31:19This photo was taken almost a hundred years ago.
00:31:24Well, she was my grandma.
00:31:26We've got good genes.
00:31:28I take after her.
00:31:29What's the big deal?
00:31:29Well, the one net will hit your account on time.
00:31:32I've got things to do.
00:31:33Bye.
00:31:39Your grandma?
00:31:40Your grandma wore the same heels as you?
00:31:43Ms. Swan?
00:31:44The woman in that photo?
00:31:46Is you?
00:31:51A woman who has lived one hundred years.
00:31:53And those busted and creepy artifacts.
00:31:56This museum is hiding something huge.
00:32:00Don't think she'll tell me the truth.
00:32:01I gotta dig into it.
00:32:07This museum's been around for ages.
00:32:09There must be something about it online.
00:32:21No results found?
00:32:23This is a museum in the downtown.
00:32:35Bingo.
00:32:35Bingo.
00:32:37The eccentrics of the 1920s?
00:32:39Just the era I'm looking into.
00:32:47Son of a...
00:32:48I saw it clearly.
00:32:49It got wiped in one second.
00:32:56That's some exact blocking and deletion.
00:32:59Some serious force.
00:33:00He's covering up everything about this museum and Burt Hammer.
00:33:06Guess I'm not finding anything online.
00:33:09Gotta hit up Chuck for some leads.
00:33:11He's got connections full of juicy info.
00:33:24Sean.
00:33:25You've been ghosting everyone for days.
00:33:28You even turned down the mortician gigs.
00:33:30What kind of business are you in now?
00:33:35I got a night shift side job.
00:33:38Chuck.
00:33:39Take my advice.
00:33:41Some things are better left unknown.
00:33:43Fuck.
00:33:44Why all the secrecy?
00:33:47Hey, listen.
00:33:49Remember the photo of the Octo-Armasura?
00:33:52Did you Photoshop it?
00:33:54Sean.
00:33:55Make fun of my weight as you want.
00:33:56But show some respect for my intel.
00:33:59That photo's the real deal.
00:34:04Sean.
00:34:04Check this out.
00:34:06It's a demon.
00:34:07This pic just got dropped.
00:34:09Got nuked from the internet right away.
00:34:10Something wiped everywhere.
00:34:11But I grabbed a screenshot.
00:34:13I was so quick.
00:34:22Wait.
00:34:24Isn't that the head I sculpted last night?
00:34:26For the headless bronze warrior?
00:34:28That's just the head.
00:34:33Slack-jawed, huh?
00:34:35This bronze head was going around killing people, all the while crying for its body.
00:34:40Lots of people got killed.
00:34:41So, Ms. Swan wasn't lying to me.
00:34:44Leaving the museum brings huge trouble.
00:34:46What happened next?
00:34:47Where did that thing go?
00:34:49See, you're clueless.
00:34:52The demon control division was on it.
00:34:55They've taken care of that head and taken it away.
00:35:00Demon control division?
00:35:04What is that?
00:35:07Sean, you came to the right guy, you know?
00:35:10The DCD is a top-secret special official agency set up to handle the paranormal incidents that happen all over
00:35:16the country and can't be explained by science.
00:35:19Word is, there's been more and more demonic invasion.
00:35:22The DCD is short-staffed.
00:35:23They're recruiting talent nationwide.
00:35:28The DCD specializes in paranormal incidents, and they've taken that bronze head.
00:35:32In their internal archives, there must be some info on Bird Hammer and Private Museum No. 9.
00:35:37If I get into the DCD, I'll be able to dig into the museum.
00:35:44Chuck, do you know anyone from the DCD?
00:35:47I want to join them.
00:35:51Holy crap!
00:35:52You lost your mind!
00:35:53That's a special official agency!
00:35:55Those guys exercise demons!
00:35:57They are legends!
00:35:57No way I'd know big shots like that!
00:35:59But you said they're recruiting talent.
00:36:02They are.
00:36:03But they've got crazy bars.
00:36:06If you prove you've got some special ability and pass their trials, they'll let you in by exception.
00:36:24Special abilities.
00:36:27Something like this.
00:36:35Huh?
00:36:36Sean, you?
00:36:37You have a special ability!
00:36:39Chuck, sign me up.
00:37:02Inside that bell, there's something alive staring at us.
00:37:06The second I walked in, I felt breathless.
00:37:10What are the DCD's trials even about?
00:37:18Thanks for joining the DCD's trials.
00:37:20I'm Jean White, the examiner and deputy captain of the DCD.
00:37:25Our recruitment standard is pretty simple.
00:37:27The strong stay, the weak out.
00:37:30You see that bell?
00:37:32Well, inside it is a trapped A-rank demon, codename, Face Eater.
00:37:38You gotta be kidding me!
00:37:40An A-rank demon?
00:37:41That thing can wipe out half a city, and they keep it in just a bell?
00:37:45Hmm.
00:37:46Quiet, during the test, we will only break part of the seal and let out a tiny fraction of
00:37:51its energy.
00:37:52If you can withstand D-rank demonic energy, you get to become a trainee demon tamer.
00:37:57If you can withstand C-rank energy, you get to become a C-rank demon tamer.
00:38:02If you do exceptionally well and withstand B-rank energy, you get certified as a B-rank demon tamer.
00:38:11No offense, ma'am, but what rank are you as a demon tamer?
00:38:15Captain White is an A-rank demon tamer.
00:38:18Only a few people from the DCD have reached that level.
00:38:20As for you rookies, if you can handle D-rank energy without pissing yourselves, that'd be
00:38:24a huge blessing.
00:38:31A-rank, huh?
00:38:32From how they put it, an A-rank is basically a top-tier badass.
00:38:42I wonder what level I can reach.
00:38:47The test starts now.
00:39:10My face!
00:39:12My face is killing me!
00:39:36I guess I've got this test in the bag.
00:39:38I guess I've got this test in the bag.
00:39:43Seriously, that insane?
00:39:47Keep going.
00:39:49Take it to C-rank.
00:40:04I-I saw it!
00:40:05There are faces in there!
00:40:07So many faces!
00:40:09Get out!
00:40:10Get the hell out of my ass!
00:40:12Don't eat me!
00:40:14Don't eat me!
00:40:27That's the best you can do!
00:40:30Now get the hell out!
00:40:31I'm going for something harder here!
00:40:34Take it straight to B-rank!
00:40:38Take it straight to B-rank!
00:40:42Are you sure?
00:40:44Damn sure!
00:40:50Captain White!
00:40:52B-rank, seriously?
00:40:53I've got it!
00:40:54Relax!
00:40:55Relax!
00:40:57Relax!
00:41:06Give me your face!
00:41:07Your face is so perfect!
00:41:09Let me have a bite!
00:41:10I'm so hungry!
00:41:27My face!
00:41:28My face got ripped off!
00:41:33That rookie is way too cocky.
00:41:34A B-rank is way out of a C-rank's league.
00:41:36We've been recruiting for years.
00:41:38Only a handful have passed the B-rank trial straight up.
00:41:42Wait!
00:41:43Check that rookie out!
00:41:49I'm so hungry!
00:42:06I'm so hungry!
00:42:21I'm so hungry!
00:42:21I'm so hungry!
00:42:32I don't feel any danger.
00:42:35I can probably take it.
00:42:39Crap!
00:42:40That rookie's got no guts at all.
00:42:41He's frozen in fear by that A-ranked demon.
00:42:44He can't even dodge now.
00:42:45He's not moving.
00:42:46No way Captain White can save him now.
00:42:54Freeze you, demon!
00:43:02Get the hell back.
00:43:24Get the hell back.
00:44:04Get the hell back.
00:44:05Holy shit.
00:44:06Face Eater, the A-ranked demon is gone.
00:44:09That rookie wasted it and crushed the bell.
00:44:13With just one freaking strike.
00:44:21Wait, is this really a test for rookies?
00:44:23He punched an A-ranked demon into oblivion?
00:44:29I haven't ever been this strong back in the museum.
00:44:43Sean, congrats.
00:44:46You passed the test.
00:44:48You're now one of us.
00:44:51The higher-ups of the DCD made a call.
00:44:54You're certified as an A-ranked demon tamer.
00:45:07A-ranked demon tamers are the absolute core muscles of the DCD.
00:45:11Starting today, you get top-tier pay and a fat bonus.
00:45:14Also, you may access all the intel and resources.
00:45:17Sweet, it paid off.
00:45:18With A-ranked clearance, I can finally dig into private museum number 9.
00:45:23Sean, I gotta warn you about this.
00:45:25Your power feels weird.
00:45:27It isn't anything you trained for.
00:45:29It's like something you reap from a demon.
00:45:33What do you mean?
00:45:34There's a definite rule about demons.
00:45:37A demon's power never disappears.
00:45:39It transfers.
00:45:40Even when an S-ranked demon gets put down.
00:45:43Its power doesn't vanish.
00:45:45It jumps straight to the demon's killer.
00:45:52A demon's power never disappears.
00:45:54It transfers.
00:45:57You just killed Face Eater, the A-ranked demon.
00:46:00By the said move, you've now inherited its power.
00:46:02And you've gotten some power before that.
00:46:05According to our assessment, you're at least a top A-ranked.
00:46:10Kill some demon and you get its power?
00:46:17Ever since I restored the Octo-Arm Asura and the Bronze Warrior, my body has started mutating.
00:46:22So the Octo-Arm Asura and that Bronze Warrior are both demons.
00:46:27But here's the thing.
00:46:28I didn't kill them.
00:46:30I just restored them.
00:46:33Damn, you're going too deep.
00:46:34I don't get it.
00:46:35Truth is, I used to work as a mortician.
00:46:37You know, that gig had me around corpses.
00:46:40I may have come into contact with a ghost.
00:46:44We won't make you talk, if you're not up for it.
00:46:48Strong demon tamers have their own secrets.
00:46:51As long as you use your power against demons, you are one of us.
00:46:55Sean, on behalf of the DCD's task force, I approve your membership.
00:46:59Welcome aboard.
00:47:16Commander, a spike of demonic energy detected in the West Underground Channel.
00:47:21The energy is skyrocketing.
00:47:23The reading is above A-rank.
00:47:24Get the live footage up now.
00:47:32Codename for now.
00:47:34Rusted Centipede.
00:47:35Two repair crews are down in the channel.
00:47:36They got attacked.
00:47:37It's heavy casualties.
00:47:39We have to stop it underground ASAP.
00:47:41It can't crawl up to the street.
00:47:45Notify Captain White of this now.
00:47:47Tell her to lead the task force into the channel to suppress that demon.
00:48:04Normally, new recruits go through at least two weeks of training before they ever see field duty.
00:48:13But things are crazy right now.
00:48:15And also, clearly you are way better than an ordinary rookie.
00:48:20Hope you understand.
00:48:23Got it.
00:48:26Dude, this is the real deal.
00:48:28We're facing a genuine A-rank demon.
00:48:30Things are tougher than the trials you took.
00:48:32No buckling at the knees or quitting.
00:48:38Halt.
00:48:40It's right up ahead.
00:48:43Lock and load.
00:49:01Form up.
00:49:19Get back.
00:49:20Okay.
00:49:26Go to hell.
00:49:28Go to hell.
00:49:51Sean.
00:49:54Sean.
00:49:55Sean, don't force it.
00:49:55That thing is too strong.
00:49:58Sean.
00:50:01Sean.
00:50:05Holy shit.
00:50:07A full strike from an A-ranked demon.
00:50:09Can't even scratch him.
00:50:14Is he...
00:50:15Is he really just a rookie?
00:50:26You done, worm?
00:50:27Trying to run?
00:50:29My turn now.
00:50:33Up you go!
00:50:35Up you go!
00:50:37Up you go!
00:51:02No way that guy is a rookie.
00:51:05I think he's even.
00:51:09More vicious than a demon.
00:51:20How dare you snarl at me.
00:51:48Shatter!
00:52:13Forged by Burt Hammer.
00:52:21The bronze statue of a guardian.
00:52:25What does it have to do with this A-rank demon thing?
00:52:35Burt Hammer again?
00:52:38Captain White.
00:52:39You know Burt Hammer?
00:52:41Let's head back to HQ.
00:52:44Then you will know.
00:53:11The head from Chuck's photo.
00:53:13An exact match of the one I made.
00:53:19And I never even saw the original head of that bronze warrior.
00:53:23Is this a coincidence or what?
00:53:25You okay?
00:53:26You've seen this before?
00:53:28Ah, nope.
00:53:29But this head really gives me the creeps.
00:53:34This is an S-rank demon KO'd by some mysterious demon tamer.
00:53:38Just like that A-rank centipede.
00:53:41It's got the name on it.
00:53:42The name of Burt Hammer.
00:53:46Captain White.
00:53:48Who is Burt Hammer anyway?
00:53:50According to the external intel we found.
00:53:53Burt Hammer was a legendary figure back in the 1920s.
00:53:57It's said that he was a legendary craftsman.
00:54:00With hands that could work magic and breathe spirit into dead things.
00:54:04However, when it comes to his life story and how he died.
00:54:08Records of that are all classified.
00:54:11Classified?
00:54:12Even you have no access?
00:54:13Not just me.
00:54:15Even the commander can't access them.
00:54:17All intel on Burt Hammer has been locked away in a top secret SSS rank file called Number
00:54:21Nine Project of Demon Control.
00:54:24What?
00:54:25Number Nine Project of Demon Control?
00:54:27Yeah.
00:54:27A level one secret from the earliest days.
00:54:30I've applied to OneHQ for partial access.
00:54:33Both the A-rank rusted centipede and this bronze head are tied to Burt Hammer in some way.
00:54:38Anyway, we should start digging into Burt Hammer and the Number Nine Project of Demon Control.
00:54:42The approval should take a few days.
00:54:44Sean, I know you're itching to go but this is a huge deal.
00:54:48Just hang tight for now.
00:54:49I'll hit you up the second the file lands.
00:55:00Private Museum Number Nine.
00:55:02Number Nine Project of Demon Control.
00:55:04They both have Number Nine in their names.
00:55:06They are both related to Burt Hammer.
00:55:08No way.
00:55:09So that museum has another role other than a building full of creepy artifacts.
00:55:14Sean, you following?
00:55:21Got it.
00:55:22I'll be waiting.
00:55:23I'll be waiting.
00:55:38Tonight, I'm restoring one more artifact.
00:55:40First thing next morning, I'll threaten to stop my restoration work and make Miss Swan spill the beans.
00:55:47If she feeds me that my grandma shit again.
00:55:49I'm done with this job.
00:56:11I'm done with this job.
00:56:15Missing?
00:56:18No kidding.
00:56:19It's Rusted Centipede.
00:56:20The demon.
00:56:21We met underground during the day.
00:56:23It really came from this museum.
00:56:25But it was a tiny little thing inside here.
00:56:28Why did it turn into a monster outside?
00:56:30The artifacts here move and attack, sure.
00:56:32But they're no match for the A rank and S rank demons outside in size and strength.
00:56:36What the hell is going on?
00:56:461, 2, 3, 10.
00:57:10Over 30 empty display stands, each with a missing tag.
00:57:16So that means there are at least 30 more demons out there going around killing people like Rusted Centipede did.
00:57:40I'll restore it tonight.
00:57:49Act like I hear nothing?
00:57:51Piece of cake.
00:58:04Can you see me?
00:58:07First rule of a mortician.
00:58:09Never get distracted on the job.
00:58:11Why won't you answer me?
00:58:13Will you help me?
00:58:16Answer me!
00:58:28Done.
00:58:41I heard it.
00:58:42These artifacts are like the living.
00:58:45They breathe faintly.
00:58:52Who is it?
00:58:53Who's sighing?
00:58:59Was it the museum itself sighing?
00:59:06Every piece of crop here moves on its own.
00:59:10Don't tell me.
00:59:12The building itself is also a living thing.
00:59:33Ms. Swan, I restored another one for you.
00:59:37Good work.
00:59:39The one downer restoration fee will be wired to you soon, as I promised.
00:59:45I better get every penny of that money.
00:59:47But besides the cash, per our deal, you'll give me an answer to a question.
00:59:55And it's gotta be the honest truth, so stop feeding me that my grandma shit, don't ever lie to me
01:00:00again, or else, no matter how much you pay, I'll never restore a single thing here again.
01:00:06What do you want to know?
01:00:08What do you want to know?
01:00:08What's the real story behind this museum?
01:00:10And what is its connection to the number nine project of demon control?
01:00:13How?
01:00:14How?
01:00:15How?
01:00:15How do you know about that project?
01:00:17None of your business.
01:00:19Now, give me the truth.
01:00:25You've heard of that project, so I'll spill the beans.
01:00:28This private museum is actually a tomb.
01:00:32A tomb?
01:00:33No, private museum number nine.
01:00:35Is the number nine project of demon control.
01:00:42A tomb?
01:00:44Whose tomb is it?
01:00:45And what about bird hammer?
01:00:47Who the hell is that?
01:00:48What's his role in this?
01:00:50Mr. Lung.
01:00:52I lied to you before.
01:00:54So to make it up to you, I answered two of your questions.
01:00:58I told you what this museum is, and how it relates to the project.
01:01:02But then you fired off five more questions.
01:01:07Ms. Swan.
01:01:08Don't try to game the system on me.
01:01:10Rules are rules.
01:01:12You want to know whose tomb this is?
01:01:15And who bird hammer is?
01:01:17Earn it.
01:01:18Restore more stuff tonight.
01:01:31Number nine project of demon control is the museum.
01:01:34And the museum is a tomb.
01:01:38But whose tomb is it?
01:01:40Who is buried here?
01:01:50Your requested file is finally approved.
01:02:00Finally got it.
01:02:03What the hell?
01:02:07When I first got it, I felt shocked too.
01:02:10This is an incomplete file.
01:02:12In other words, the file got heavily censored.
01:02:15Higher ups understand that we're investigating the surge of demons.
01:02:19They know it's likely connected to the number nine project.
01:02:22Actually they went to talk with the participants of the project.
01:02:25But those people were stubborn.
01:02:27They don't want the file released to the DCD.
01:02:30That's why the higher ups can only give us these heavily censored scraps.
01:02:35Participants of the number nine project.
01:02:37This project dates back over 80 years.
01:02:40How come the participants are still alive?
01:02:43How old would they be now?
01:02:51They've lived over a hundred years.
01:02:53Not like that's impossible.
01:02:55I mean, Mrs. Swan's been around for over a century.
01:03:01Flesh is the vessel.
01:03:06Given to the seal.
01:03:08The seal stands.
01:03:15What does that even mean?
01:03:20Hold on.
01:03:24Fourteen people.
01:03:26But why fourteen?
01:03:29So the statue with the Burt Hammer tag.
01:03:32Was one of the demon tamers who died to set the seal.
01:03:36But the museum only has twelve intact statues.
01:03:39With the shattered one included.
01:03:42That's only thirteen altogether.
01:03:44So where is the fourteenth one?
01:03:48Sean.
01:03:49Burt Hammer might be.
01:03:52One of the fourteen participants of the project.
01:03:54All the high level demons popping out lately are connected to him.
01:03:58And that means the number nine project has gone off the rails.
01:04:03We gotta find the real site of this project.
01:04:06Only by digging into that, can we stop the demon crisis at the source.
01:04:10I know where the site is.
01:04:13But trust me.
01:04:15That place is complicated as hell.
01:04:21Gene, Sean, move out now.
01:04:23An abnormal surge of demonic energy detected in a newly excavated suburban ancient tomb.
01:04:29Our recon team is trapped down there.
01:04:31No idea if they're dead.
01:04:32Lead a team there and rescue them.
01:04:34Copy that.
01:04:49Crazy magnetic field.
01:04:51Strong interference.
01:04:52The detector can't locate the recon team.
01:04:56Flashlight off.
01:04:59Allow me.
01:05:28Over there.
01:05:29To the west.
01:05:30Three hundred wide out.
01:05:31They're getting swarmed.
01:05:37Crap.
01:05:38I'm done.
01:05:56Captain White.
01:05:57Sean.
01:05:58You've finally made it.
01:06:02Check this wall.
01:06:04Check this wall.
01:06:12Check this wall.
01:06:13No way.
01:06:13The patterns of these rooms.
01:06:14They look the same as the ones from those golden markings at the feet.
01:06:18of the guardians.
01:06:25Over there.
01:06:35The size and shape of this slot, it's an exact match to the empty stands, the ones with the
01:06:40tag missing.
01:06:41This isn't some ancient tomb, this is where the museum artifacts were kept.
01:06:47Sean, look at this!
01:06:51You locked me up for 50 years, and now I'm gonna destroy everything you built.
01:06:57What does that mean?
01:07:05These are...
01:07:11The lost broken artifacts from the museum.
01:07:14Why are they here?
01:07:16Whoever that is, they're deeply connected with private museum number 9, and even with those
01:07:21missing artifacts.
01:07:24Captain White, can I borrow them for now?
01:07:27You mean these artifacts?
01:07:29Yeah, they're a huge help to me, can't explain it right now.
01:07:33You are a huge help in this rescue, so yeah, you can take them.
01:07:37Thanks.
01:07:40Thanks.
01:08:09You're back home.
01:08:11I tracked down the lost artifacts and brought them home.
01:08:15That's something as tough as restoring a busted artifact.
01:08:18A million per piece. Two pieces, two million.
01:08:22Even better, Miss Swan will answer two more of my questions.
01:08:27I gotta find and restore more artifacts.
01:08:30Then it won't be long.
01:08:32Before I get to the bottom of this creepy private museum.
01:08:47I lost him again.
01:08:57The second his night shift ends,
01:09:00Sean goes completely missing.
01:09:02I've been tracking him step by step,
01:09:05but every time he gets near this block he just vanishes into thin air.
01:09:09No traces, none, no matter what.
01:09:14The minute he joined the DCD,
01:09:16he pulled A rank clearance to dig into the number nine project.
01:09:21He's got that terrifying power,
01:09:23yet he's ignorant of the demonic power rule.
01:09:27Sean, what are you really?
01:09:29Sean, what are you doing?
01:09:35One, two, three,
01:09:40eleven, twelve.
01:09:45This smashed one included.
01:09:47That makes thirteen statues in total.
01:09:49But it was fourteen demon tamers giving away their flesh as the vessels.
01:09:54The fourteenth one.
01:09:56Who is it really? Where'd it go?
01:10:17Asking for trouble, Scam?
01:10:18Alan flat.
01:10:33How do I get up to do that?
01:10:36How could I get up to do that ?
01:10:46What the farts are doing?
01:10:48That is only actually taking theos' rebellion with my own body.
01:10:51I get it now.
01:10:53Hey, you.
01:10:54The Guardians.
01:10:56You've been burning through your life force to suppress the demonic artifacts here.
01:11:00Your bodies are cracking because your power has been drained.
01:11:03And that collapsed statue?
01:11:04Maybe it died from running out of power.
01:11:08Was that you protecting me just now?
01:11:29I don't know.
01:11:48Music, calligraphy, stone arts, jade arts, carpentry, pottery.
01:11:53Birdhammer was a smith, so all the bronzes here were cast by him.
01:11:57Does that mean those porcelains were made by Potter?
01:12:02And the Bejeweled Lady?
01:12:04It was a painting by Bosich the artist?
01:12:06The bleeding hairpin was made by Jade, the engraver.
01:12:11So every single artifact in this museum was made by the Guardians?
01:12:23I chose to become a statue, to guard this place for a century, the age to come.
01:12:28Do not grieve.
01:12:30We have no regrets.
01:12:57Work faster.
01:12:58The clock is ticking.
01:13:00Something's off.
01:13:02The extra rules that popped up out of nowhere were all like type text.
01:13:06But these sentences?
01:13:07So sloppy and rushed.
01:13:09Clearly handwritten.
01:13:10And the color's different.
01:13:12This looks like blood.
01:13:14What the hell are you?
01:13:20Holy crap!
01:13:24This handbook is a living thing.
01:13:27And it can answer my questions?
01:13:36So we get to communicate?
01:13:38Good.
01:13:39Listen up.
01:13:40Who the hell created you?
01:13:48The one who wanted the future age to last.
01:13:53Then tell me!
01:13:54What is this museum really?
01:13:56Who's buried underneath?
01:13:58And the 14th Guardian?
01:13:59Where are they?
01:14:04Go ask her.
01:14:05Who do you mean?
01:14:06Could it be...
01:14:07Miss Swan?
01:14:11Hey!
01:14:12Whippling Possum!
01:14:13Do you mean Miss Swan or not?
01:14:15Why do I have to keep restoring artifacts?
01:14:17Spit it out already!
01:14:20Hey!
01:14:21Codex of the Oracle!
01:14:23Hey buddy!
01:14:24You there?
01:14:29Damn it!
01:14:30Don't you bail on me now!
01:14:40I'll go ask her then.
01:14:42Fine.
01:14:43I'll take it that it meant Miss Swan.
01:14:51Miss Swan, morning.
01:14:53Looks like you didn't restore any artifact last night.
01:14:58True, I didn't restore any broken ones.
01:15:00But I did something harder than restoration.
01:15:03Oh?
01:15:04What is it?
01:15:05I brought back two artifacts that went missing.
01:15:08A bronze vessel and half a jade pendant.
01:15:11I've put them back on their display stands.
01:15:13Come again?
01:15:14For real?
01:15:15You found the artifacts we lost?
01:15:17While on that,
01:15:18did you run into that person?
01:15:21That person?
01:15:23Which person is she asking about?
01:15:28The one who carved those words on the hidden chamber's wall?
01:15:31Even Miss Swan, a slick old timer, is nervous.
01:15:34That person's gotta be a true nightmare.
01:15:36Yeah, I did.
01:15:40I was asked to pass you a message.
01:15:42You locked him up for 50 years.
01:15:44And now, he's gonna destroy everything you built.
01:15:49Mr. Lang, I don't know where you heard that.
01:15:51But if you really ran into that person,
01:15:54given your poor skills,
01:15:55no way you'd make it back alive.
01:15:57Damn it!
01:15:58She's belittling me.
01:15:59She has no idea how strong I am now.
01:16:03All right.
01:16:04I won't beat around the bush.
01:16:10Miss Swan, tell me.
01:16:12Should I call this thing a handbook?
01:16:14Or should I call it Codex of the Oracle?
01:16:19What?
01:16:20You talked with it?
01:16:22What did it tell you?
01:16:23It said I gotta stay alive and restore more.
01:16:25It also said that if I have questions,
01:16:28I should ask you.
01:16:31Miss Swan, let's be honest with each other.
01:16:33I know what you want.
01:16:34You want me to keep restoring artifacts in this museum.
01:16:37I can agree to that
01:16:38and keep doing this life-threatening shit.
01:16:40Only if you answer all my questions.
01:16:41No more secrets or lies.
01:16:49That thing is willing to guide you.
01:16:52Guess it's really accepted you.
01:16:56All right, deal.
01:16:57Ask me anything.
01:16:58If I know it, I'll tell you.
01:17:00Question one.
01:17:01All those broken artifacts in the museum,
01:17:04what are they?
01:17:05And also,
01:17:06why is it that every time I restore them,
01:17:08I end up getting some crazy power boost?
01:17:11Mr. Lang, you've joined the DCD, haven't you?
01:17:14By now, you should have memorized that definite rule of power.
01:17:17The power of a demon never disappears.
01:17:20It transfers.
01:17:21Right.
01:17:21In this world, demons are immortal.
01:17:24The only way to truly wipe one out
01:17:26is to have it sealed.
01:17:27When you're restoring the broken artifacts,
01:17:29you're actually having them desealed.
01:17:32Having them sealed is the same as having them killed.
01:17:35That means,
01:17:37the moment you have an artifact restored and resealed again,
01:17:40its power gets pulled out of it.
01:17:42And then,
01:17:43the power transfers right into you.
01:17:46That's why you keep getting stronger.
01:17:50I see.
01:17:52Question two.
01:17:53All those busted artifacts are freaking terrifying demons.
01:17:58And the ones that got lost out there have world-shattering power.
01:18:03But why, inside the museum, are they stuck as tiny, lifeless objects?
01:18:07Most of them can barely even twitch.
01:18:09And also, even I myself feel so much weaker whenever I'm inside here.
01:18:13When I'm here, I can't access most of my power.
01:18:16Actually, that's the whole reason Private Museum No. 9 was built.
01:18:21Inside the museum, every single demonic power
01:18:25must be absolutely suppressed.
01:18:28Get suppressed inside here?
01:18:31Sean, have you thought about this?
01:18:33Why are there only five main sections here?
01:18:37Bronze arts, jade arts, calligraphy and paintings,
01:18:41ceramics, terracotta arts.
01:18:44Any story behind that?
01:18:46These five exhibition areas were built according to the toughest formation there is,
01:18:52the formation of five celestial peaks.
01:18:54This museum itself,
01:18:56it's one massive god-tier magical formation.
01:18:59This museum.
01:18:59I don't know.
01:19:34I don't know.
01:20:19I don't know.
01:20:31I don't know.
01:20:37I don't know.
01:20:40I don't know.
01:20:59I don't know.
01:21:13I don't know.
01:21:35I don't know.
01:21:37I don't know.
01:21:47I don't know.
01:21:52I don't know.
01:22:01I don't know.
01:22:01I don't know.
