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.
00:01:18Rule 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.
00:01:46Rule 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.
00:02:14Rule 5. What a dump of a museum.
00:02:16How come everything's all busted to hell?
00:02:26Boss, I'm on camera!
00:02:28I 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.
00:02:39Rule 5. The bronze warrior is missing its head.
00:02:42Rule 5. The bronze warrior is missing its head.
00:02:42Rule 5. No bearing.
00:02:51Rule 5. Needs a heavy-duty pin.
00:03:10Rule 5. The bronze warrior cub is missing its head.
00:03:12I don't know what to do.
00:03:44It's an S rank demon! No way we can handle that! Evacuate the whole city now!
00:04:12Huh? Where does that come from?
00:04:14Still crooked. Unstable. Gotta lock it in with a bracket.
00:04:49Perfect. True art, if that were a corpse, the grieving family would worship me.
00:05:07Pierced by a hundred yard spike, tied by chains from nowhere, an S rank demon got wiped out just like
00:05:13that.
00:05:14What demon teamer are we looking at here?
00:05:17Captain White, the S rank Octo Armasura. Is it really just gone?
00:05:21Nope, the power of a demon never disappears. It 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 Armasura now belongs to whoever took it down.
00:05:37Who took out the Octo Armasura last night?
00:05:46Who is it?
00:05:47Sean, huge news, the city was locked down last night. They say it's because of this S rank demon. The
00:05:51news is scrubbed everywhere.
00:05:53My buddy took this picture. Dope. Huh?
00:05:57That's the statue I restored last night. Someone photoshopped it, blew it up and slapped on some lightning. Dumb Chuck.
00:06:02He'll believe any gossip. Stop buying such fake edited crap.
00:06:05I've been a mortician for years. Never once seen any real paranormal junk. Get your ass back to work.
00:06:11But come to think of it weird. After a night shift, I'm not even tired. If anything, I feel much
00:06:16stronger.
00:06:20Hold up. When did rule 5 show up?
00:06:29Did someone find out I restored that statue? And sneak in last night to add this rule, just to pin
00:06:35it on me?
00:06:39Mr. Lang, you... you're still alive?
00:06:42Of course I'm alive. You think I'm a ghost?
00:06:46You made it through night one. Well done.
00:06:49Ms. Swan, the rules have won more than yesterday. Did you guys sneak that in?
00:06:55Stop asking. Just follow every single rule there is. No questions asked. That's how you last longer.
00:07:02Look, I restored that statue. And let me be clear. Long before my shift, that statue had been in pieces.
00:07:06I didn't break it before restoring it. Don't you dock my pay over this.
00:07:10What? You restored the Octo-Arma Sura? Quick, take me to it, now.
00:07:28Huh? You actually restored the Octo-Arma Sura?
00:07:31No doubt. You see, I've had this weird ability. No matter what it misses, one look and I instantly know
00:07:38what it's supposed to look like whole.
00:07:46Over the years as a mortician, I have pieced together countless bodies and received real 5-star feedback.
00:07:53Since you restored it, you're responsible for it.
00:07:59If it breaks again, whatever happens, you'll answer for it.
00:08:05Hey! No way! This thing was always trashed! I restored it! Why is it on me if it breaks again?
00:08:14Are you looking for an excuse to dock my pay?
00:08:18And hey, tell me this. I restored it. What's in it for me?
00:08:24You've gotten the reward.
00:08:28What reward? I got nothing.
00:08:31Pretty women are the best liars.
00:08:33Is she trying to score something for nothing?
00:08:42Alright. You'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 have just said you'd pay!
00:08:56You've got a deal!
00:08:57Problem solved! Deal! Deal!
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? A million!
00:09:21Yeah! Jackpot!
00:09:30I'll do that!
00:09:30Here we go! Another night ship!
00:09:33On top of pulling guard duty, tonight I'll restore another artifact!
00:09:50Huh?
00:09:52What happened?
00:09:57Weird. These are not natural cracks. Someone 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.
00:10:29Gonna restore one more piece tonight.
00:10:31Also, I need to step up patrols.
00:10:34Whoever did this, you're done.
00:10:48This is it. A small chip. Easy restore.
00:11:14Once this one's done, that's another 100k.
00:11:27Once this one's done, that's another 100k.
00:11:30100 grand.
00:11:31100 grand.
00:11:40100 grand.
00:11:42100 grand.
00:11:45100 grand.
00:11:54What the hell?
00:11:56Where are my tools?
00:11:58Where did my tools go?
00:12:00They walked off?
00:12:04Who the heck did this?
00:12:11Gotcha.
00:12:26Nobody here?
00:12:28The one who destroyed the Octo-Armor Sura might be just the creep who swiped my tools.
00:12:33Right. The camera. It tells all.
00:12:44Rule 6. Before 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 those 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? No 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. Jackpot.
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.
00:14:18That 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,
00:14:38that pile of porcelain shards I saw was really the last guard.
00:14:42I see. Everything clicks, even why my tools got stolen.
00:14:45But this is seriously knots.
00:14:51Wait a minute.
00:14:52While I was restoring the same mirror,
00:14:53I 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?
00:15:01I got a sword.
00:15:02I got a sword.
00:15:16I have no idea.
00:15:17I had my face right in front of it.
00:15:19I got a sword.
00:15:20I got a sword.
00:15:20I got a sword.
00:15:23I got a sword.
00:15:24I got a sword.
00:15:28Who the hell did this?
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.
00:16:41Screw it, I'm restoring this mirror.
00:17:04Since when did I get reflexes this quick, and such strength?
00:17:09I'm practically Superman now, no wonder I felt super strong during the day.
00:17:13It wasn't in my head.
00:17:20What the hell is that thing doing?
00:17:22Throwing in the towel?
00:17:43Are you kidding me?
00:17:52You...
00:18:10That hunk of junk is literally trying to kill me.
00:18:15I quit!
00:18:16Time to haul ass!
00:18:43What is this?
00:18:44A museum or a haunted house?
00:18:50They play dirty too?
00:19:17A museum!
00:19:21What is this?
00:19:21A museum?
00:19:22What is this?
00:19:23Phew, finally stopped.
00:19:52What a shame. They're all busted up.
00:20:05But, Hammer...
00:20:08You... you were smiling?
00:20:14Another creepy area. What a shitty museum, so full of creepy trouble.
00:20:36No way! My wound healed up overnight. What crazy regeneration. Am I even human anymore?
00:20:55Perfect timing!
00:20:56Guess you've figured it out.
00:20:58This isn't a normal museum, is it? Those artifacts freaking move! They steal! They swing swords at me!
00:21:05This isn't just a gig! I may die for this shit! I quit! I don't care how much you pay
00:21:10me! I'm done!
00:21:11You're quitting? Mr. Leng, breaking the contract means a 10 million dollar penalty.
00:21:1710 million? I could never make that much money! Fine! I'll just be a deadbeat! Better than getting killed here!
00:21:27You think you can just walk away now?
00:21:32You restored the Octo-Arma Shura. You saw it yourself. Those things do not want to be restored.
00:21:41The Octo-Arma Shura!
00:21:45If you stay here, they may hesitate to mess with you. But if you leave, they'll follow you right out
00:21:51the door.
00:21:52If you stay here, they may hesitate to mess with you. But if you leave, they'll follow you right out
00:21:58the door.
00:21:59Huh? Stop bluffing with that crap!
00:22:02Fine, go ahead and leave. But, if you just stick around, starting tonight for every artifact you restore, your pay
00:22:12gets multiplied by 10.
00:22:14By 10? Before it was 100k per piece. And now, that's a million, right?
00:22:20Yep.
00:22:21I mean, I will do anything for that cash. But you have to tell me what the hell this museum
00:22:27is. Why does all that junk move on its own? Is this place haunted?
00:22:34Mr. Leng, you ask too many questions. At this museum, the truth costs more than anything else. You want answers?
00:22:42Fine. For every artifact you successfully restore, I'll answer one of your questions.
00:22:47Good luck. For tonight.
00:22:57Rule 7. You're safe only with the Guardians. Assume they like you.
00:23:03Another one just magically appears?
00:23:06The Guardians? So those huge bronze statues are called the Guardians? Then what are those moving things outside? They're cursed?
00:23:13Ghosts? Or maybe they are being suppressed?
00:23:17Yeah!
00:23:18As for whether they like me, I hid there and didn't get kicked out. So I'm guessing yeah, if something
00:23:23creepy happens again tonight, I'll just go straight there.
00:23:26No idea how these rules keep showing up, but I gotta say, they tell the truth.
00:23:31Now I've got a backup plan. Gotta get to work.
00:23:34Rule 4. The Bronze Warrior is missing its head. If it comes begging you for a head, toss at the
00:23:39mannequin head from your desk, then lock the office door.
00:23:41Rule 4. The Headless Bronze Warrior. Should be an easy restore. That's the one.
00:23:50Back when I was a mortician, I got headless bodies from car wrecks. Still, I used plaster and clay and
00:23:56sculpted exact replicas.
00:24:16No original head? Then I'll make you a brand new one myself!
00:24:36Nailed it.
00:25:00Nailed it.
00:25:02Coming.
00:25:18Wait here.
00:25:42All right, you want to head, huh?
00:25:44The original one is gone, but I've made you an exact replica.
00:25:53What the heck?
00:26:07Perfect!
00:26:08One million, baby!
00:26:14What the hell?
00:26:16I'm burning.
00:26:25Team A's gone dark.

00:43:07god
00:43:07yes
00:43:07yes
00:43:07yes
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-Rank Demon Tamer.
00:45:07A-Rank 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-Rank 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.
00:45:32What 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-Rank Demon gets put down, its 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-Rank Demon.
00:46:00By the said move, you've now inherited its power.
00:46:02And you'd gotten some power before that.
00:46:05According to our assessment, you're at least a top A-Rank.
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.
00:46:23So 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.
00:46:46If 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.
00:47:06It's a pleasure.
00:47:08It's a pleasure.
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.
00:47:32Code name for now.
00:47:33Rusted centipede.
00:47:35Two repair crews are down in the channel.
00:47:37They 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
00:48:10duty.
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!
00:49:00Form up!
00:49:02Form up!
00:49:19Get back!
00:49:20Okay!
00:49:26Go to hell!
00:49:37Go to hell!
00:49:51Sean!
00:49:54Sean, don't force it! That thing is too strong!
00:50:05Holy shit! A full strike from an A-ranked demon. Can't even scratch him.
00:50:13Is he... is he really just a rookie?
00:50:26You done, worm? Trying to run?
00:50:29My turn now.
00:50:33Up 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!
00:51:22How dare you snarl at me!
00:51:23What?
00:51:28What?
00:51:34How dare you stop?
00:51:35I don't know.
00:51:36You?
00:51:37You?
00:51:37You?
00:51:41No!
00:51:42You?
00:51:43No!
00:51:44No, don't.
00:51:45No!
00:51:47No!
00:51:49I know.
00:51:52No.
00:52:12Forged by Burt Hammer
00:52:21The bronze statue of a guardian. What does it have to do with this A-rank demon thing?
00:52:35Burt Hammer again?
00:52:38Captain White, you know Burt Hammer?
00:52:41Let's head back to HQ.
00:52:44Then, you will know.
00:53:02Check this out.
00:53:11The head from Chuck's photo. An exact match of the one I made.
00:53:19And I never even saw the original head of that bronze warrior. Is this a coincidence or what?
00:53:24You okay? You've seen this before?
00:53:28Ah, nope. But this head really gives me the creeps.
00:53:34This is an S-rank demon KO'd by some mysterious demon tamer. Just like that A-rank centipede.
00:53:41It's got the name on it, the name of Burt Hammer.
00:53:46Captain White, who is Burt Hammer anyway?
00:53:50According to the external intel we found, Burt Hammer was a legendary figure back in the 1920s.
00:53:57It's said that he was a legendary craftsman. With 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, records of that are all classified.
00:54:11Classified? Even you have no access?
00:54:13Not just me. Even the commander can't access them. All intel on Burt Hammer has been locked away in a
00:54:19top secret SSS rank file called Number 9 Project of Demon Control.
00:54:24What? Number 9 Project of Demon Control?
00:54:27Yeah, a level 1 secret from the earliest days. I've applied to 1 HQ for partial access.
00:54:34Both 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 9 Project of Demon Control.
00:54:42The approval should take a few days. Sean, I know you're itching to go, but this is a huge deal.
00:54:48Just hang tight for now. I'll hit you up the second the file lands.
00:55:00Private Museum Number 9. Number 9 Project of Demon Control. They both have Number 9 in their names.
00:55:06They are both related to Burt Hammer. No way.
00:55:10So that museum has another role other than a building full of creepy artifacts.
00:55:14Sean, you following?
00:55:21Got it. I'll be waiting.
00:55:38Tonight, I'm restoring one more artifact. First thing next morning, I'll threaten to stop my restoration work and make Ms.
00:55:45Swan spill the beans.
00:55:47If she feeds me that my grandma shit again, I'm done with this job.
00:56:15Missing?
00:56:17No kidding. It's rusted centipede.
00:56:20The demon. We met underground during the day. It really came from this museum.
00:56:25But it was a tiny little thing inside here. Why did it turn into a monster outside?
00:56:30The artifacts here move and attack sure, but they're no match for the A rank and S rank demons outside
00:56:35in size and strengths.
00:56:37What the hell is going on?
00:56:462.
00:56:493.
00:56:502.
00:57:0410.
00:57:10Over 30 empty display stands, each with a missing tag, so that means there are at least 30
00:57:19more 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, never get distracted on the job.
00:58:11Why won't you answer me?
00:58:13Will you help me?
00:58:16Answer me!
00:58:26Whew.
00:58:28Done.
00:58:41I heard it.
00:58:43These artifacts are like the living.
00:58:45They breathe faintly.
00:58:51Who is it?
00:58:53Who's sighing?
00:58:59Was it the museum itself sighing?
00:59:07Every piece of crop here moves on its own.
00:59:10Don't tell me.
00:59:12The building itself is also a living thing.
00:59:33Miss Swan.
00:59:34I restored another one for you.
00:59:37Good work.
00:59:39The one down our 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.
00:59:57So stop feeding me that my grandma shit.
00:59:59Don't ever lie to me again.
01:00:00Or else, no matter how much you pay, I'll never restore a single thing here again.
01:00:05What do you wanna 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?
01:00:14How?
01:00:14How 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?
01:00:42A tomb?
01:00:44Who's 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, I 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! Don't try to game the system on me!
01:01:10Rules are rules.
01:01:12You wanna know whose tomb this is?
01:01:15And who Burt Hammer is?
01:01:18Earn it! Restore 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?
01:01:51Your requested file is finally approved.
01:02:00Finally got it.
01:02:04What 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.
01:02:18They know it's likely connected to the number nine project.
01:02:22Actually, they went to talk with the participants of the project.
01:02:26But 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.
01:03:07Given to the seal.
01:03:09The 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 was 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, that's only thirteen altogether.
01:03:43So 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. Strong interference. The detector can't locate the recon team.
01:04:57Flashlight off.
01:04:59Allow me.
01:05:28Over there. To the west. Three hundred wide out. They're getting swarmed.
01:05:38Crap. I'm done.
01:05:56Captain White. Sean.
01:05:58You finally made it.
01:06:02Check this wall.
01:06:12No way, the patterns of these rooms, they look the same as the ones from those golden
01:06:16markings at the feet of the Guardians.
01:06:35The size and shape of this slot, it's an exact match to the empty stands, the ones with
01:06:40the tag missing.
01:06:41This isn't some ancient tomb, this is where the museum artifacts were kept.
01:06:46Sean, look at this!
01:06:51You locked me up for 50 years, and now I'm going to destroy everything you built.
01:06:57What does that mean?
01:07:05These are the 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
01:07:21those missing artifacts.
01:07:25Captain 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.
01:07:42Thanks.
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.
01:08:20Two pieces, two million.
01:08:22Even better.
01:08:24Miss 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.
01:08:58His night shift ends.
01:09:00Sean goes completely missing.
01:09:03I've been tracking him step by step.
01:09:05But every time he gets near this block.
01:09:07He just vanishes into thin air.
01:09:09No traces, none, no matter what.
01:09:14The minute he joined the DCD.
01:09:17He pulled A rank clearance to dig into the number 9 project.
01:09:21He's got that terrifying power.
01:09:23Yet he's ignorant of the demonic power rule.
01:09:27Sean.
01:09:28What are you really?
01:09:35One, two, three, eleven, twelve.
01:09:45This smashed one included.
01:09:47That makes 13 statues in total.
01:09:49But it was 14 demon tamers giving away their flesh as the vessels.
01:09:54The 14th one.
01:09:56Who is it really?
01:09:57Where'd it go?
01:10:17Asking for trouble, Scam?
01:10:18Come on.
01:10:21Let's go.
01:10:51I get it now. Hey, you. The Guardians. You've been burning through your life force to suppress the demonic artifacts
01:10:59here. Your bodies are cracking, cause your power's been drained. And that collapsed statue? Maybe it died from running out
01:11:06of power. Was that you protecting me just now?
01:11:33Let's go.
01:11:33Harper, the musician. Black, the calligrapher. Stone, the carver. Lacquer, the painter. Jade, the engraver. Wood, the carpenter.
01:11:46Forging. Painting. Carving. Weaving. Lacquer arts. Music. Calligraphy. Stone arts. Jade arts. Carpentry. Pottery.
01:11:53Birdhammer was a smith. So all the bronzes here were cast by him. Does that mean those porcelains were made
01:12:00by Potter? And the bejeweled lady? It was a painting by Bosich, the artist? The bleeding hairpin was made by
01:12:08Jade, 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. Do not grieve.
01:12:30We have no regrets.
01:12:57Work faster. The clock is ticking.
01:13:00Something. Something's off. The extra rules that popped up out of nowhere were all like type text. But these sentences?
01:13:08So sloppy and rushed. Clearly handwritten. And the color's different. This looks like blood.
01:13:14What the hell are you?
01:13:20Holy crap!
01:13:24This handbook is a living thing. And it can answer my questions?
01:13:36So we get to communicate? Good.
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!
01:14:12Quit playing 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?
01:14:30Dammit!
01:14:31Don't you bail on me now!
01:14:35Come on!
01:14:36Come on!
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.
01:14:54Looks 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.
01:16:26It 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,
01:17:12you've joined the DCD, haven't you?
01:17:14By now,
01:17:14you 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,
01:17:22demons 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,
01:17:30you're actually having them desailed.
01:17:32Having them sealed is the same as having them killed.
01:17:36That means,
01:17:36the 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.
01:17:52All those busted artifacts are freaking terrifying demons.
01:17:58And the ones that got lost out there
01:18:01have world-shattering power.
01:18:03But why,
01:18:04inside the museum,
01:18:04are they stuck as tiny,
01:18:06lifeless objects?
01:18:07Most of them can barely even twitch.
01:18:09And also,
01:18:10even I myself feel so much weaker whenever I'm inside here.
01:18:13When I'm here,
01:18:14I can't access most of my power.
01:18:16Actually,
01:18:16that's the whole reason
01:18:18Private Museum No. 9 was built.
01:18:21Inside the museum,
01:18:23every single demonic power
01:18:25must be absolutely suppressed.
01:18:28Get suppressed inside here?
01:18:31Sean,
01:18:32have you thought about this?
01:18:33Why are there only five main sections here?
01:18:37Bronze arts,
01:18:38jade arts,
01:18:39calligraphy and paintings,
01:18:41ceramics,
01:18:42terracotta arts.
01:18:43Any story behind that?
01:18:46These five exhibition areas
01:18:48were built according to
01:18:50the 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.
01:19:27This museum's long-tier magical properties,
01:19:28To see what happened while 1 was built in the museum.
01:19:39This museum is everywhere.
01:19:40This museum is called 1
01:19:41and the asteroide image.
01:19:42This museum is an amazing movie,
01:20:15From the statues of the Guardians, this whole formation gets its power. For a century, they've been stuck here as
01:20:23living bronze and stone. They've been burning themselves out to keep the formation running. So that the thousands of demons
01:20:30here could stay suppressed.
01:20:37Sean, now you know everything. The Guardian's power is almost drained dry. The formation will soon fall.
01:20:47So listen, forget our old rules. Starting tonight, you're not restoring just one artifact a day. Instead, you'll restore at
01:20:56least ten pieces every day.
01:20:58Ten pieces a day? Holy crap, that's a death sentence! The demons will tear me to shreds!
01:21:04Don't worry. You've got the Guardians in here. You'll burn our last ounce of strength. And even sacrifice the museum
01:21:11just to protect you. And to help you.
01:21:13Sean, we're out of time. That person is coming. You must go all out now. Work as fast as you
01:21:19can.
01:21:20Restore every last artifact in this museum. Only by restoring them can you keep getting stronger.
01:21:25In the end, you must inherit the Twelve Guardian's power and become the strongest Demon Tamer alive.
01:21:32Only then can you take their place and end this everlasting nightmare.
01:21:45Ten pieces a day, huh? I'm in.
01:21:49I landed myself with this mess after all. As a mortician, I'll strip this tomb clean. I'll wipe the demons
01:21:56all out one by one.
