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 it the mannequin head from your desk, then lock the office
00:01:42door.
00:01:45Rule 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.
00:02:43Section 5. The reserve.
00:02:48Ah!
00:02:49No bearing.
00:02:51Needs a heavy-duty pin.構困æ£
00:02:56Rule 9. Whichever.
00:03:01Dil Item aì²´.
00:03:02Double Hart?
00:03:09An admirox
00:03:10LoL-M
00:03:19For 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.
00:04:26To be continued...
00:04:49Perfect. True art. If that were a corpse, the grieving family would worship me.
00:05:27Kind of like when you killed a mirror demon and got its power. The power of the S-rank Octo
00:05:32Armasura now belongs to whoever took it down.
00:05:36Who 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! My 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 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'll 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!
00:07:11What? You restored the Octo-Arma Sura? Quick! Take me to it! Now!
00:07:28Huh? You actually restored the Octo-Arma Sura? No doubt! You see, I've had this weird ability! No matter what
00:07:35it 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!
00:07:59If 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? And hey! Tell me this! I restored it! What's in
00:08:23it for me?
00:08:24You've gotten the reward!
00:08:28What reward? I got nothing! Pretty women are the best liars! Is she trying to score something for nothing?
00:08:42Alright! You'll keep the reward you've gotten! And as the boss says, for every artifact you restore, I'll throw in
00:08:48an extra 100k!
00:08:50100k per piece? Ms. Swan, now you're talking! You could've just said you'd pay! You've got a deal! Problem solved!
00:08:58Deal! Deal! Being paid, I can restore every single artifact in this whole museum! I'll make them all shine like
00:09:04new!
00:09:19100k per piece! 10 pieces? A million! Yeah! Jackpot!
00:09:31100k per piece! 10 pieces? A million! Yeah! Jackpot!
00:09:34Tonight I'll restore another artifact!
00:09:52What happened?
00:09:57Weird! These are not natural cracks! Someone hacked at it with a sword or an axe! Who the hell did
00:10:02this?
00:10:04Is it Mrs. Swan?
00:10:06Is it Mrs. Swan? Guess 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! Also, I need to step up patrols! Whoever did this, you're done!
00:10:49This is it! A small chip! Easy restore!

00:16:35i'd like to thank you for the video
00:16:35and i can tell you guys
00:16:35Those things really can move.
00:17:05Since when did I get reflexes this quick and 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.
00:17:20The hell is that thing doing?
00:17:22Throwing in the towel?
00:17:43Are you kidding me?
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? A museum or a haunted house?
00:18:50They play dirty too?
00:19:10What is this?
00:19:23Phew, finally stopped.
00:19:52What a shame. They'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!
00:20:37My wound healed up overnight.
00:20:40What crazy regeneration.
00:20:42Am 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?
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.
00:21:41No!
00:21:42No!
00:21:45If you stay here they may hesitate to mess with you, but if you leave, they'll follow you
00:21:50right out the door.
00:21:52If you stay here, they may hesitate to mess with you, but if you leave, they'll follow
00:21:57you right out the door.
00:22:00Huh, stop bluffing with that crap!
00:22:02Fine, go 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?
00:22:15Before it was 100k per piece.
00:22:17And now, that's a million, right?
00:22:20Yep.
00:22:21I mean, I 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?
00:22:33Mr. Lange, you ask too many questions.
00:22:37At this museum, the truth costs more than anything else.
00:22:41You 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.
00:22:57Rule 7.
00:22:58You're safe only with the Guardians.
00:23:00Assume they like you.
00:23:03Another one just magically appears.
00:23:07The Guardians?
00:23:07So 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.
00:23:22So I'm guessing, yeah.
00:23:23If something creepy happens again tonight, I'll just go straight there.
00:23:25No idea how these rules keep showing up, but I gotta say, they tell the truth.
00:23:31Now I've got a backup plan.
00:23:32Gotta get to work.
00:23:34Rule 4.
00:23:35The Bronze Warrior is missing its head.
00:23:37If it comes begging you for a head, toss at the mannequin head from your desk, then lock the office
00:23:41door.
00:23:41Rule 5.
00:23:42The Headless Bronze Warrior.
00:23:45Should be an easy restore.
00:23:48That's the one.
00:23:50Back when I was a mortician, I got headless bodies from car wrecks.
00:23:54Still, I used plaster and clay and sculpted exact replicas.
00:24:16No original head?
00:24:18Then I'll make you a brand new one myself.
00:24:36Nailed it.
00:24:39Nailed it.
00:25:01Coming.
00:25:18Wait here.
00:25:42All right.
00:25:43You want a head, huh?
00:25:44The original one is gone, but I've made you an exact replica.
00:25:54What the heck?
00:26:03What the heck?
00:26:07Perfect.
00:26:08One million, baby.
00:26:14What the hell?
00:26:15I'm burning.
00:26:17I'm burning.
00:26:25Team A's gone dark.
00:26:26Team B is shattered.
00:26:28Team C, all of Team C just flatlined.
00:26:34Where's my body?
00:26:43Give me your body.
00:27:01In the last 72 hours, the demonic invasion in town has tripled, and the most dangerous
00:27:06one, codename confirmed, Bronze Head.
00:27:08So far, HQ has lost three A-ranked demon tamers and seven B-ranked demon tamers.
00:27:14With just a head, it's likely S-rank strong.
00:27:17You bet it is, you bet it is, it's definitely an S-ranked, once it finds a body, it will
00:27:22be catastrophic.
00:27:29The target!
00:27:32It's gone!
00:27:33What?
00:27:33It's gone?
00:27:35How can it be?
00:27:37It's not hiding.
00:27:40We...
00:27:40We lost the demon's trace.
00:27:42Pull up the last feed.
00:27:44The target!
00:27:48Body?
00:27:49Where's my body?
00:27:52It found a lead on its body!
00:27:54Oh, my God.
00:28:24Is it... completely dead now?
00:28:37Bird Hammer? Who's that?
00:28:40The Forger.
00:28:44This S-Rank demon was crafted by someone with an intention.
00:28:48It can't be.
00:28:49Apart from the bronze head.
00:28:51That demon also has a body.
00:28:53And it's missing.
00:28:54Remember? That thing is at least S-Rank strong.
00:28:57Dig up everything you can on Bird Hammer.
00:28:59Track down the origin of this demon.
00:29:07I'm just a night guard.
00:29:08Why am I stuck cleaning the front desk too?
00:29:13What's this?
00:29:27Hold on.
00:29:29This woman.
00:29:31That's Ms. Swan.
00:29:33But this photo gotta be years old.
00:29:41The Olympic Games...
00:29:44Amsterdam...
00:29:46The Olympic Games Amsterdam?
00:29:48That's literally in 1928.
00:29:52Almost a century ago.
00:29:57If this is really Ms. Swan...
00:30:00Then she's been alive for over a century?
00:30:21Miss Swan.
00:30:23Morning.
00:30:24Time to pay up.
00:30:26Pay up?
00:30:28Yeah.
00:30:29I've restored the headless bronze warrior.
00:30:35You 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.
00:30:42But the head of that bronze warrior was totally gone.
00:30:45How could you fix that?
00:30:47Come on.
00:30:48Why the big whoop?
00:30:49Its head was missing.
00:30:50So I just made it a new one.
00:30:55Looks like...
00:30:56I was really right about you.
00:31:00Save the flattery.
00:31:05You did promise that every time I restore an artifact,
00:31:07you'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.
00:31:29What's the big deal?
00:31:30The one that will hit your account on time.
00:31:32I've got things to do.
00:31:34Bye.
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 100 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.
00:32:59Some serious force is covering up everything about this museum and Burt Hammer.
00:33:06I guess 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!
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?
00:33:36I got a night shift side job.
00:33:38Chuck, take my advice.
00:33:41Some things are better left unknown.
00:33:44Fuck!
00:33:44Why all the secrecy?
00:33:47Hey, listen.
00:33:49Remember the photo of the Octo Armisura?
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, check this out.
00:34:06It's a demon.
00:34:07This pic just got dropped.
00:34:09Got nuked from the internet right away.
00:34:11Wiped 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.
00:34:38All the while crying for its body.
00:34:40Lots of people got killed.
00:34:42So, 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
00:35:12set up to handle the paranormal incidents
00:35:15that happen all over the country
00:35:16and 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
00:35:31and they've taken that bronze head.
00:35:32In their internal archives,
00:35:33there must be some info on Birdhammer
00:35:35and Private Museum No. 9.
00:35:37If I get into the DCD,
00:35:39I'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!
00:36:00But 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
00:36:09and pass their trials,
00:36:10they'll let you in by exception!
00:36:24Special abilities?
00:36:26Something like this?
00:36:35Huh?
00:36:36Sean, you!
00:36:37You have a special ability!
00:36:40Chuck,
00:36:41sign me up!
00:37:02Inside that bell,
00:37:04there's something alive staring at us.
00:37:07The second I walked in,
00:37:08I felt breathless.
00:37:10What are the DCD's trials even about?
00:37:18Thanks for joining the DCD's trials.
00:37:21I'm Jean White,
00:37:22the examiner and deputy captain of the DCD.
00:37:25Our recruitment standard is pretty simple.
00:37:27The strong stay,
00:37:28the weak out.
00:37:30You see that bell?
00:37:32Inside it is a trapped A-ranked demon,
00:37:35codename,
00:37:36Face 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,
00:37:48we will only break part of the seal
00:37:49and let out a tiny fraction of its energy.
00:37:52If you can withstand D-ranked demonic energy,
00:37:55you get to become a trainee demon tamer.
00:37:57If you can withstand C-rank energy,
00:37:59you get to become a C-ranked demon tamer.
00:38:02If you do exceptionally well
00:38:04and withstand B-ranked energy,
00:38:06you get certified as a B-ranked demon tamer.
00:38:11No offense, ma'am,
00:38:12but what rank are you as a demon tamer?
00:38:15Captain White is an A-ranked demon tamer.
00:38:18Only a few people from the DCD
00:38:19have reached that level.
00:38:20As for you rookies,
00:38:21if you can handle D-ranked energy
00:38:23without pissing yourselves,
00:38:24that'd be a huge blessing.
00:38:31A-rank, huh?
00:38:32From how they put it,
00:38:34an 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! My face is killing me!
00:39:36Guess I've got this test in the bag.
00:39:43Seriously, that insane?
00:39:47Keep going. Take it to C rank.
00:40:04I saw it! There are faces in there! So many faces! Get out! Get the hell out of my head!
00:40:12Don't eat me! Don't eat me!
00:40:28That's the best you can do! Now get the hell out! I'm going for something harder here! Take it straight
00:40:35to B rank!
00:40:38Take it straight to B rank!
00:40:42Are you sure? Damn sure!
00:40:51Captain White! B rank! Seriously?
00:40:53I've got it! Relax!
00:41:06Give me your face! Your face is so perfect! Let me have a bite! I'm so hungry!
00:41:27My face! My face got ripped off!
00:41:33That rookie is way too cocky. A B rank is way out of a C rank's league. We've been recruiting
00:41:37for years. Only a handful have passed the B rank trial straight up.
00:41:42Wait! Check that rookie out!
00:41:44Wait! Check that rookie out!
00:42:06Hold back!
00:42:10Hold back!
00:42:12Hold back!
00:42:14Hold back!
00:42:28Come on! Run!
00:42:32I don't feel any danger.
00:42:35I can probably take it.
00:42:39Crap! That 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.
00:42:54Praise you, demon.
00:43:02Get the hell back.
00:43:31Get the hell back.
00:44:04Get the hell back.
00:44:05Holy shit.
00:44:07Face 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 nine.
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-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'd 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 Octawarma Asura and the Bronze Warrior,
00:46:20my body has started mutating.
00:46:23So the Octawarma Asura and that Bronze Warrior are both demons.
00:46:27But here's the thing.
00:46:29I didn't kill them.
00:46:30I just restored them.
00:46:33Ahem, 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.
00:47:16Commander, 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.
00:47:25Get 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.
00:48:39It'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, don't force it!
00:49:55That thing is too strong!
00:50:05Holy shit!
00:50:07A full strike from an A-ranked demon.
00:50:09Can't even scratch him.
00:50:13Is 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!
00:51:02No 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.
00:51:49Shatter!
00:51:49Shatter!
00:52:13Forged by Burt Hammer.
00:52:19Burt Hammer? The bronze statue of a guardian. What does it have to do with this A rank demon thing?
00:52:35Burt Hammer again? Captain White, you know Burt Hammer?
00:52:41Let's head back to HQ. Then 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?
00:53:25You 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. It's got
00:53:41the name on it, the name of Burt Hammer.
00:53:46Captain White. Who is Burt Hammer anyway?
00:53:51According 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 1HQ for partial access.
00:54:34Both the A rank rusted centipede and this bronze head are tied to Burt Hammer in some way. Anyway, we
00:54:38should 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. They are
00:55:07both related to Burt Hammer. No way.
00:55:10So that museum has another role other than a building full of creepy artifacts. Sean, 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?
00:56:18No kidding. It's rusted centipede. The 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. What the hell is going on?
00:56:46One, two, three, ten.
00:56:56Ten.
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.
00:57:48I'll restore it tonight.
00:57:49Act 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.
00:58:11Why won't you answer me? Will you help me? Answer me!
00:58:28Done.
00:58:41I heard it. These artifacts are like the living. They breathe faintly.
00:58:46I heard it. These artifacts are like the living. They breathe faintly.
00:58:51Who is it? Who's sighing?
00:58:55Who is it? Who's sighing?
00:58:58Was it the museum itself sighing?
00:59:07Every piece of crop here moves on its own. Don't tell me. The building itself is also a living thing.
00:59:33Miss Swan. I 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. 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 wanna know?
01:00:08What's the real story behind this museum? And what is its connection to the number 9 project of Demon Control?
01:00:14How? How do you know about that project?
01:00:17None of your business. Now, give me the truth.
01:00:25We've heard of that project, so I'll spill the beans. This private museum is actually a tomb.
01:00:32A tomb?
01:00:33Private museum number 9 is the number 9 project of Demon Control.
01:00:42A tomb? Whose tomb is it? And what about Bird Hammer? Who the hell is that? What's his role in
01:00:49this?
01:00:50Mr. Lung. I lied to you before. So 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. But then you fired off five
01:01:04more questions.
01:01:07Ms. Swan, don't try to game the system on me. Rules are rules. You wanna know whose tomb this is?
01:01:15And who Bird Hammer is? Earn it. Restore more stuff tonight.
01:01:31Number 9 project of Demon Control is the museum. And the museum is a tomb. But whose tomb is it?
01:01:40Who is buried here?
01:01:51Number 9. Your requested file is finally approved.
01:01:54Number 9. Finally got it.
01:02:02Number 9. What the hell?
01:02:06Number 9. When I first got it, I felt shocked too. This is an incomplete file.
01:02:12In other words, the file got heavily censored. Higher-ups understand that we're investigating the surge of demons. They know
01:02:19it's likely connected to the number 9 project.
01:02:22Actually, they went to talk with the participants of the project. But those people were stubborn. They don't want the
01:02:28file released to the DCD. That's why the higher-ups can only give us these heavily censored scraps.
01:02:35Participants of the number 9 project. This project dates back over 80 years. How come the participants are still alive?
01:02:43How old would they be now?
01:02:51They've lived over 100 years. Not like that's impossible. I mean, Mrs. Swan's been around for over a century.
01:03:01Flesh is the vessel.
01:03:06Flesh is the vessel.
01:03:07Giv'n to the seal. The seal stands.
01:03:11Flesh is the vessel.
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 was one of the demon tamers who died to set the seal
01:03:36but the museum only has 12 intact statues with the shattered one included that's only 13
01:03:43altogether so where is the 14th one sean bird hammer might be one of the 14 participants of
01:03:53the project all the high-level demons popping out lately are connected to him and that means the
01:03:59number nine project has gone off the rails we got to find the real site of this project
01:04:06only by digging into that can we stop the demon crisis at the source i know where the site is
01:04:13but trust me that place is complicated as hell
01:04:21gene sean move out now an abnormal surge of demonic energy detected in a newly excavated suburban
01:04:28ancient tomb our recon team is trapped down there no idea if they're dead lead a team there and rescue
01:04:34them copy that

01:06:17feet
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 tag
01:06:40missing
01:06:40this isn't some ancient tomb this is where the museum artifacts were kept
01:06:47sean look at this

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

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.
01:11:01Cause your power's been drained.
01:11:03And that collapsed statue?
01:11:04Maybe it died from running out of power.
01:11:09Was that you protecting me just now?
01:11:25Burt Hammer, the smith.
01:11:27Ryder, the martial artist.
01:11:29Potter, the potter.
01:11:31Webb, the weaver.
01:11:33Harper, the musician.
01:11:35Black, the calligrapher.
01:11:36Stone, the carver.
01:11:38Lacquer, the painter.
01:11:40Jade, the engraver.
01:11:42Wood, the carpenter.
01:11:46Forging, painting, carving, weaving, lacquer arts, music, calligraphy, stone arts, jade arts,
01:11:51carpentry, pottery.
01:11:53Burt Hammer was a smith.
01:11:54So all the bronzes here were cast by him.
01:11:57Does that mean?
01:11:59Those 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.
01:12:56Work 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?
01:13:08So 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 Miss Swan?
01:14:11Hey!
01:14:12Quit playing possum!
01:14:13Do you mean Miss Swan or not?
01:14:14Why do I have to keep restoring artifacts?
01:14:17Spin it out already!
01:14:20Hey!
01:14:21Codex of the Oracle.
01:14:23Hey, buddy!
01:14:24You there?
01:14:30Damn it!
01:14:31Don'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.
01:14:54Looks 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,
01:15:19did 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.
01:16:50That 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 1.
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.
01:17:23The 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 resealed.
01:17:32Having them sealed is the same as having them killed.
01:17:36That 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 2.
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.
01:18:15Actually,
01:18:17that'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.
01:18:44Any 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.
01:19:34Thank you very much.
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 Guardian's 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.
01:20:54Instead, you'll restore at least 10 pieces every day.
01:20:5810 pieces a day?
01:21:00Holy 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.
01:21:14Sean, 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 12 Guardian's power and become the strongest demon tamer alive.
01:21:32Only then can you take their place and end this everlasting nightmare.
01:21:4510 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.
