My First Night Shift Saved the City

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.
00:00:08Why? 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.
00:00:46No 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 it 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.
00:02:09Rule 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.
00:02:49No bearing.
00:02:51Needs a heavy-duty pin.
00:03:01No bearing.
00:03:02Okay, let's go.
00:03:20Poor 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? Still 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 100-yard spike, tied by chains from nowhere, an S-rank demon got wiped out just like
00:05:13that.
00:05:14What demon demon 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.
00:05:26Kind of like when you killed a mirror demon and got its power.
00:05:29The 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.
00:05:49They say it's because of this S-rank demon. The news is scrubbed everywhere.
00:05:53My buddy took this picture. Dope, huh?
00:05:56That's the statue I restored last night. Someone photoshopped it, blew it up, and slapped on some lightning.
00:06:01Dumb Chuck. He'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.
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. Well done.
00:06:49Ms. Swan, the rules have won more than yesterday.
00:06:52Did you guys sneak that in?
00:06:55Stop asking. Just follow every single rule there is.
00:06:58No questions asked. That's how you last longer.
00:07:02Look, I restored that statue.
00:07:03And let me be clear, long 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.
00:07:10What?
00:07:11You restored the Octo Arm Assura?
00:07:14Quick, take me to it.
00:07:16Now.
00:07:28Huh?
00:07:29You actually restored the Octo Arm Assura?
00:07:31No 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, no 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!
00:08:21I restored it!
00:08:22What's in it for me?
00:08:24You'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?
00:08:41All 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 have 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?
00:09:20A million.
00:09:21Yeah, jackpot!
00:09:30Here we go.
00:09:31Another night ship.
00:09:32On top of pulling guard duty,
00:09:34tonight I'll restore another artifact.
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, 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.
00:10:49This is it.
00:10:50A small chip.
00:10:51Easy restore.
00:10:51Easy restore.
00:11:14Once this one's done, that's another 100k.
00:11:16Once this one's done, that's another 100k.
00:11:29A 100k.
00:11:31A 100k.
00:11:33A 100k.
00:11:42A 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?
00:12:07Yes!
00:12:11Gotcha!
00:12:26Nobody here?
00:12:28The one who destroyed the Octo-Arm Asura might be just the creep who swiped my tools.
00:12:33Right!
00:12:34The camera, it tells all!
00:12:43Rule 6.
00:12:45Before restoring any artifact, always check how the others around it react.
00:12:52Who's playing Ghost 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!
00:13:05I'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 camera's got messed with too?
00:13:32The camera's 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!
00:13:48Jackpot!
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!
00:13:59They 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, and she'd pay me a
00:14:11fat bonus for that.
00:14:12Day 4.
00:14:13For the money, I started restoring the broken bronze mirror, but 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.
00:14:30It 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 guard.
00:14:42I see, everything clicks, even why my tools got stolen.
00:14:45But this is seriously knots.
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?
00:15:28Who the hell did this?
00:15:32Before restoring any artifact, always check how the others around it react.
00:15:43Screw it.
00:15:44I'm restoring this mirror anyway.
00:16:00I guess I was worried for nothing.
00:16:03I can't believe I bought those shitty rules.
00:16:19I can't believe I bought those shitty rules.
00:16:35Those things really can move.
00:16:48Those things really can move.
00:16:51Not me!
00:16:52Nooo!
00:16:54Nooooooo!
00:16:56Nooo!
00:17:05Since when did I get reflexes this quick?
00:17:07And such strength!
00:17:09I'm practically Superman now.
00:17:11No 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?
00:18:09That hunk of junk is literally trying to kill me.
00:18:15I quit.
00:18:16Time to haul ass.
00:18:43What is this, a museum or a haunted house?
00:18:50They play dirty too?
00:19:23Phew, finally stopped.
00:19:52What a shame.
00:19:54They're all busted up.
00:20:02But, Hammer?
00:20:08You, you were smiling?
00:20:14Another creepy area.
00:20:16What a shitty museum so full of creepy trouble.
00:20:36No way!
00:20:38My wound healed up overnight.
00:20:40What crazy regeneration?
00:20:41Am I even human anymore?
00:20:55Perfect timing!
00:20:56Guess you figured it out.
00:20:58This isn't a normal museum, is it?
00:21:00Those artifacts freaking move!
00:21:02They steal!
00:21:03They swing swords at me!
00:21:05This isn't just a gig!
00:21:07I may die for this shit!
00:21:08I quit!
00:21:09I don't care how much you pay me!
00:21:10I'm done!
00:21:11You're quitting?
00:21:13Mr. Leng, breaking the contract means a 10 million dollar penalty.
00:21:1710 million?
00:21:18I could never make that much money!
00:21:20Fine!
00:21:21I'll just be a deadbeat!
00:21:22Better than getting killed here!
00:21:27You 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?
00:21:45Sorry?
00:21:47They might be alive on the street.

00:28:38Birdhammer? Who's that?
00:28:40The Forger.
00:28:44This S-Rank demon was crafted by someone with an intention.
00:28:47It can't be.
00:28:48Apart from the bronze head.
00:28:51That demon also has a body. And it's missing.
00:28:54Remember? That thing is at least S-Rank strong.
00:28:57Dig up everything you can on Birdhammer.
00:28:59Track down the origin of this demon.
00:29:07I'm just a night guard. Why am I stuck cleaning the front desk too?
00:29:12Hm?
00:29:13What's this?
00:29:27Hold on. This woman.
00:29:31That's Ms. Swan.
00:29:33But this photo gotta be years old.
00:29:40The Olympic Games.
00:29:43Amsterdam.
00:29:46The Olympic Games, Amsterdam.
00:29:48That's literally in 1928.
00:29:51Almost a century ago.
00:29:57If this is really Ms. Swan.
00:30:00Then she's been alive for over a century.
00:30:20Oh yes!
00:30:21Ms. Swan. Morning!
00:30:24Yep!
00:30:25Time to pay up.
00:30:26Pay up?
00:30:28Yeah, I've restored the headless bronze warrior.
00:30:34You restored the headless bronze warrior?
00:30:37No, you didn't.
00:30:38The Octo Arma Sura was just cracked open.
00:30:40The 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.
00:31:04You 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.
00:31:21Almost a hundred years ago.
00:31:24Well, she was my grandma.
00:31:26We've got good genes.
00:31:28I take after her.
00:31:28What's the big deal?
00:31:30The one that 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.
00:32:10There must be something about it online.
00:32:21No results found?
00:32:23This is a museum in the downtown.
00:32:35Bingo.
00:32:37The 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.
00:32:58Some 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.
00:33:13Full of juicy info.
00:33:24Sean, you've been ghosting everyone for days.
00:33:27You 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, take 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 Armassura?
00:33:52Did you Photoshop it?
00:33:54Sean, make 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, check this out.
00:34:06It's a demon.
00:34:07This pic just got dropped.
00:34:08Got nuked from the internet right away.
00:34:10Wiped everywhere.
00:34:11But I grabbed a screenshot.
00:34:12I 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.
00:34:39Lots of people got killed.
00:34:41So Miss 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.
00:35:09The 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.
00:35:21The 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, you 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.
00:36:40Chuck, sign me up.
00:37:02Inside that bell, there's something alive staring at us.
00:37:07The 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?
00:37:32Inside it is a trapped A-ranked demon.
00:37:35Codename, Face Eater.
00:37:38You gotta be kidding me.
00:37:40An A-ranked demon?
00:37:41That thing can wipe out half a city.
00:37:43And they keep it in just a bell?
00:37:45Hmm.
00:37:46Quiet.
00:37:47During the test, we will only break part of the seal and let out a tiny fraction of its energy.
00:37:52If you can withstand D-ranked demonic energy, you get to become a trainee demon tamer.
00:37:57If you can withstand C-ranked energy, you get to become a C-ranked demon tamer.
00:38:02If you do exceptionally well and withstand B-ranked energy, you get certified as a B-ranked demon tamer.
00:38:11No offense, ma'am, but what rank are you as a demon tamer?
00:38:15Captain White is an A-ranked demon tamer.
00:38:17Only a few people from the DCD have reached that level.
00:38:20As for you rookies, if you can handle D-ranked energy without pissing yourselves, that'd be a huge blessing.
00:38:31A-rank, huh?
00:38:32From how they put it, an A-rank is basically a top-tier badass.
00:38:42Wonder what level I can reach.
00:38:47The test starts now.
00:39:10My face!
00:39:12My face is killing me!
00:39:35I 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 head!
00:40:12Don't eat me!
00:40:14Don't eat me!
00:40:27That's the best you can do!
00:40:29Now get the hell out!
00:40:31I'm going for something harder here!
00:40:34Take it straight to B-ranked!
00:40:38Take it straight to B-ranked!
00:40:42Are you sure?
00:40:43I'm sure!
00:40:50Captain White!
00:40:52V-rank, seriously?
00:40:53I've got it!
00:40:54Relax!
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!

00:41:42I could have a Frankfurt goage!
00:42:03Oh shit the demon is out it's after that guy

00:45:30you reap from a demon
00:45:32what do you mean there's a definite rule about demons a demons power never disappears it transfers even when an
00:45:41S rank demon gets put down its power doesn't vanish it jumps straight to the demons killer
00:45:52a demon's power never disappears it transfers
00:45:57you just killed face eater the a rank demon by the said move you've now inherited its power and you've

00:49:54Don
00:49:55don'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.
00:50:14Is 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.
00:51:48Shatter!
00:52:12Forged by Burt Hammer.
00:52:19Burt Hammer?
00:52:22The bronze statue of a guardian.
00:52:25What does it have to do with this A-ranked 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.
00:53:02Check this out.
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.
00:53:22Is this a coincidence or what?
00:53:25You okay?
00:53:26You seen this before?
00:53:28Ah, nope.
00:53:29But this head really gives me the creeps.
00:53:34This is an S-ranked demon KO'd by some mysterious demon tamer.
00:53:38Just like that A-ranked 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.
00:54:16All intel on Burt Hammer has been locked away in a top secret SSS rank file called Number
00:54:219 Project of Demon Control.
00:54:24What?
00:54:25Number 9 Project of Demon Control?
00:54:27Yeah, a level 1 secret from the earliest days.
00:54:30I've applied to 1HQ 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 9 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 9.
00:55:02Number 9 Project of Demon Control.
00:55:04They both have Number 9 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.
00:55:13Sean, you following?
00:55:21Got it.
00:55:22I'll be waiting.
00:55:37Tonight.
00:55:38I'm restoring one more artifact.
00:55:40First thing next morning, I'll threaten to stop my restoration work and make Ms. Swan spill
00:55:45the 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.
00:56:19It's Rusted Centipede.
00:56:20The demon.
00:56:21The 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 strengths.
00:56:36What the hell is going on?
00:56:46One.
00:56:48Two.
00:56:48Three.
00:56:55Ten.
00:57:10Over 30 empty display stands, each with a missing tag.
00:57:15So that means there are at least 30 more demons out there going around killing people,
00:57:21like Rusted Centipede did.
00:57:40I'll restore it tonight
00:57:48Act like I hear nothing? Piece of cake
00:58:04Can you see me?
00:58:07First rule of a mortician, never get distracted on the job
00:58:10Why won't you answer me? Will you help me?
00:58:15Answer me!
00:58:28Done
00:58:40I heard it
00:58:42These artifacts are like the living
00:58:44They breathe faintly
00:58:51Who is it? Who'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
00:59:33Ms. Swan
00:59:34I restored another one for you
00:59:36Good work
00:59:39The one downer restoration fee will be wired to you soon
00:59:42As I promised
00:59:45I better get every penny of that money
00:59:47But besides the cash
00:59:49Per our deal
00:59:51You'll give me an answer to a question
00:59:55And
00:59:55It'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
01:00:01No matter how much you pay
01:00:02I'll never restore a single thing here again
01:00:06What 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
01:00:18Now
01:00:19Give me the truth
01:00:25You've heard of that project
01:00:26So I'll spill the beans
01:00:28This private museum
01:00:30Is actually a tomb
01:00:32A tomb?
01:00:33Private 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
01:00:51I lied to you before
01:00:54So to make it up to you
01:00:55I answered two of your questions
01:00:57I told you what this museum is
01:00:59And
01:01:00How it relates to the project
01:01:02But then you fired off five more questions
01:01:07Ms. Swan
01:01:07Don'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 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
01:01:37And 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
01:02:04What the hell?
01:02:05What the hell?
01:02:07When I first got it
01:02:09I felt shocked too
01:02:10This is an incomplete file
01:02:12In other words
01:02:13The 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
01:02:25But 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 bird 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
01:03:41That's only thirteen altogether
01:03:43So where is the fourteenth one?
01:03:48Sean
01:03:49Bert 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
01:04:08Can we stop the demon crisis at the source
01:04:10I know where the site is
01:04:13But trust me
01:04:14That 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
01:04:28Our 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
01:04:50Strong interference
01:04:51The detector can't locate the recon team
01:04:57Flashlight off
01:04:59Allow me
01:05:28Over there
01:05:29To the west
01:05:30300 wide out
01:05:31They're getting swarmed
01:05:37Crump
01:05:38I'm done
01:05:56Captain White
01:05:57Sean
01:05:58You finally made it
01:06:02Check this wall
01:06:12No way
01:06:13The patterns of these rooms
01:06:14They look the same as the ones from those golden markings at the feet
01:06:17Of the guardians
01:06:25Over there
01:06:26Over there
01:06:35The size and shape of this slot
01:06:37It's an exact match to the empty stands
01:06:39The ones with the tag missing
01:06:40This isn't some ancient tomb
01:06:42This is where the museum artifacts were kept
01:06:46This is where the museum artifacts were kept

01:08:56the second his night shift ends Sean goes completely missing I've been tracking him step by step but
01:09:05every time he gets near this block he just vanishes into thin air no traces none no matter what
01:09:14the minute he joined the DCD he pulled a rank clearance to dig into the number nine project
01:09:20he's got that terrifying power yet he's ignorant of the demonic power rule Sean what are you really

01:14:51ms swan morning looks like you didn't restore any artifact last night true i didn't restore
01:14:59any broken ones but i did something harder than restoration oh what is it i brought back two
01:15:06artifacts that went missing a bronze vessel and half a jade pendant i've put them back on their
01:15:12display stands come again for real you found the artifacts we lost while on that did you run into
01:15:19that person that person which person is she asking about
01:15:28the one who carved those words on the hidden chamber's wall even ms swan a slick old timer
01:15:33is nervous that person's got to be a true nightmare yeah i did
01:15:40i was asked to pass you a message you locked him up for 50 years and now he's going to
01:15:45destroy
01:15:45everything you built mr lang i don't know where you heard that but if you really ran into that
01:15:53person given your poor skills no way you'd make it back alive damn it she's belittling me
01:15:59she has no idea how strong i am now all right i won't beat around the bush
01:16:10miss swan tell me should i call this thing a handbook or should i call it codex of the oracle
01:16:20what you talked with it what did it tell you it said i gotta stay alive and restore more
01:16:25it also said that if i have questions i should ask you
01:16:31miss swan let's be honest with each other i know what you want you want me to keep restoring
01:16:36artifacts in this museum i can agree to that and keep doing this life-threatening shit only if
01:16:40you answer all my questions no more secrets or lies
01:16:49that thing is willing to guide you guess it's really accepted you
01:16:56all right deal ask me anything if i know it i'll tell you question one all those broken artifacts
01:17:03in the museum what are they and also why is it that every time i restore them i end up
01:17:09getting
01:17:09some crazy power boost mr lang you've joined the dcd haven't you by now you should have memorized
01:17:15that definite rule of power the power of a demon never disappears it transfers right in this world
01:17:22demons are immortal the only way to truly wipe one out is to have it sealed when you're restoring
01:17:28the broken artifacts you're actually having them resealed having them sealed is the same as having
01:17:34them killed that means the moment you have an artifact restored and resealed again its power gets pulled
01:17:41out of it and then the power transfers right into you that's why you keep getting stronger
01:17:50i see question two all those busted artifacts are freaking terrifying demons
01:17:58and the ones that got lost out there have world shattering power but why inside the museum are they
01:18:05stuck as tiny lifeless objects most of them can barely even twitch and also even i myself feel so much
01:18:11weaker whenever i'm inside here when i'm here i can't access most of my power
01:18:15actually that's the whole reason private museum number nine was built inside the museum every
01:18:23single demonic power must be absolutely suppressed get suppressed inside here
01:18:31sean have you thought about this why are there only five main sections here
01:18:37bronze arts jade arts calligraphy and paintings ceramics terracotta arts any story behind that
01:18:46these five exhibition areas were built according to the toughest formation there is the formation of five
01:18:53celestial peaks this museum itself it's one massive god tier magical formation
01:19:18so
01:19:27so
01:19:28so
01:19:28so
01:20:15From the statues of the Guardians, this whole formation gets its power.
01:20:20For a century, they've been stuck here as living bronze and stone.
01:20:24They've been burning themselves out to keep the formation running.
01:20:28So that the thousands of demons here could stay suppressed.
01:20:37Sean, now you know everything.
01:20:40The Guardians' power is almost drained dry.
01:20:42The formation will soon fall.
01:20:47So listen, forget our old rules.
01:20:50Starting tonight, you're not restoring just one artifact a day.
01:20:53Instead, you'll restore at least ten pieces every day.
01:20:58Ten pieces a day?
01:20:59Holy crap, that's a death sentence.
01:21:02The demons will tear me to shreds.
01:21:04Don't worry.
01:21:05You've got the Guardians in here.
01:21:07We'll burn our last ounce of strength.
01:21:09And even sacrifice the museum just to protect you.
01:21:12And to help you.
01:21:13Sean, we're out of time.
01:21:15That person is coming.
01:21:16You must go all out now.
01:21:18Work as fast as you can.
01:21:20Restore every last artifact in this museum.
01:21:23Only by restoring them can you keep getting stronger.
01:21:25In the end, you must inherit the Twelve Guardians' power.
01:21:29And become the strongest Demon Tamer alive.
01:21:31Only then can you take their place and end this everlasting nightmare.
01:21:44Ten pieces a day, huh?
01:21:47I'm in.
01:21:49I landed myself with this mess after all.
01:21:52As a mortician, I'll strip this tomb clean.
01:21:55I'll wipe the demons all out one by one.
