Short filmTranscript
00:00:00My name is Lin Xu. I am an embalmer who works with the dead.
00:00:03But today, I applied to a private museum for a part-time night security job.
00:00:09Because the pay was insane! Ten grand a day!
00:00:16How do I burn it?
00:00:17Burn it. Then the contract goes into effect.
00:00:20Mr. Lin, welcome to private museum number nine.
00:00:24Remember, work a full month and resettle your pay.
00:00:26Otherwise, besides a sky-high penalty fee, any other consequences are on you.
00:00:40What is this?
00:00:42The last night guard. A person?
00:00:45How could a person end up like this? That ruthless boss lady.
00:00:49Signs people, then scares them off just to milk the penalty fee.
00:00:52Even as an embalmer, I have never seen a death like this.
00:00:56It is almost time. I have to go.
00:01:03Hope you can last a couple more days.
00:01:12One. The museum is open from midnight to 6am. Do not come to work during the day.
00:01:18Two. If you see the Tang Sankai tomb guardian beast's eyes moving, cover it with the red cloth right away.
00:01:25Do not make eye contact with it.
00:01:27Three blood-weeping Jade hairpin.
00:01:29If you hear a woman crying, pretend you did not hear it.
00:01:33Do not answer any of her questions.
00:01:37Vor, the headless bronze figurine's head is missing.
00:01:40If it asks you for a head, throw at the mannequin head on your desk.
00:01:43Then lock the workroom door tight.
00:01:59Let's see who's playing spooky games.
00:02:02I'm an embalmer.
00:02:04Even if a body is in eight pieces, I still sew it up alone at midnight.
00:02:08I've seen every kind of creepy scene.
00:02:16This crappy museum. Why is everything missing parts?
00:02:28Boss, there are cameras here. This wasn't me. Don't dock my pay.
00:02:34This mess of shards is driving me nuts.
00:02:38My work habit is kicking in again.
00:02:52Not enough support. Gotta set a heavy-duty anchor bolt.
00:03:23Warm up.
00:03:46It's an S-class Eldritch entity. We can't handle this.
00:03:49Evacuate the entire city now.
00:04:13This? What kind of power is this?
00:04:16Still a bit crooked. It won't stand.
00:04:18Need a hanger bracket to secure it.
00:04:52Perfect. Now that's craftsmanship. Even at a crematorium. The family would have to bow to me.
00:05:09A hundred-meter divine spike impales it. Void chains shackle the Eldritch entity with a wave and S-class Eldritch
00:05:16entity turns to ash.
00:05:18What rank spirit suppressor has power like that?
00:05:21Deputy Captain, S-class Eldritch entity, the Eight-armed Asura. Did it really vanish for good?
00:05:27No. An Eldritch entity's power doesn't disappear. It only transfers.
00:05:32Like when you accidentally killed a mirror wraith and ended up with its power. The S-class Eight-armed Asura's
00:05:38power will also pass to whoever killed it.
00:05:43So who stepped in and killed the Eight-armed Asura last night?
00:05:53Who?
00:05:54Brother Shu. Big news. Half the city was on lockdown last night. They say it's that statue in the photo.
00:05:59An S-class Eldritch entity did it. Now the news is locked down across the whole net. My friend shot
00:06:04this and saved it. Pretty awesome, right?
00:06:08Isn't that the busted bronze statue I fixed last night? Who photoshopped it and blew it up? Throw in some
00:06:13lightning effects too. Fatty. He'll believe any gossip. Quit buying these dumb doctored rumors. I've been a mortician for years
00:06:18and never seen a real Eldritch incident. Get back to your day job.
00:06:22But seriously, it's weird. I've pulled an all-night shift and I'm not even tired. I actually feel like I've
00:06:26got energy to burn.
00:06:31Wait, no. When did Rule 5 show up?
00:06:40Don't tell me someone knows I fixed that busted bronze statue and snuck in overnight to add this line so
00:06:45they can pin it on me?
00:06:51Mr. Lin, you... still alive?
00:06:53Of course I'm alive. Otherwise you'd be seeing a ghost.
00:06:58You made it through day one in one piece, not bad?
00:07:01Secretary Su, how come the rules suddenly have one more than yesterday? Did you guys sneak that in?
00:07:08Don't ask. You just need to follow every single rule. No questions asked. That's how you live long.
00:07:14I've already fixed that bronze statue. For the record, when I took over my shift, that statue was already broken.
00:07:19I didn't break it and then fix it. Don't you capitalists try to dock my pay over this?
00:07:24What? What? You repaired the eight-armed Asura bronze statue?
00:07:28Hurry, take me to see it.
00:07:42You! You actually took the eight-armed Asura and restored it to perfection.
00:07:46Of course. Since I was a kid, I've had this weird knack. Whatever's broken, one look is all it takes.
00:07:52I instantly know what it looked like when it was whole.
00:08:01All these years at the funeral home, anybody I, Lin Xu, restored, always gets 100% positive feedback.
00:08:08Since you fixed it, you need to take responsibility for it.
00:08:15If it breaks again, whatever happens after that is on you.
00:08:22Come on! This thing was broken to begin with! I was the one who fixed it! Why if it breaks
00:08:27again, should I take the fall?
00:08:32You're not trying to find an excuse to dock my pay, are you?
00:08:38Also, let me ask you this. Now that I fixed it, what do I get out of it?
00:08:43You've already gotten the perk for fixing it.
00:08:47What perk? What did I take? Pretty women are the best at lying. Is she trying to get something for
00:08:53nothing?
00:09:00How about this? Besides what you've already gotten, the boss gave the word.
00:09:04For every artifact you restore, I'll add 100,000 to your restoration fee.
00:09:10100,000? Per piece? Secretary Sue, that's awesome!
00:09:13Should've just said you'll pay. Problem solved. We can work this out.
00:09:17If that's the case, don't worry. As long as the money's right, I can take every artifact in your museum
00:09:23and fix them all up.
00:09:25Guaranteed, the place will look brand new. Brand new!
00:09:40100K a piece. 10 pieces is a mil. I'm gonna be rich.
00:09:51Here we go. Another night shift. Working the night shift tonight. I'll also restore one more artifact.
00:10:12What's going on here?
00:10:18No, wait. This definitely didn't crack on its own. Looks more like it was hacked by a sword or an
00:10:23axe. Who the heck did this?
00:10:27Secretary Sue. No, that can't be it. She was around me all day, in heels, staring over my shoulder, like
00:10:33a supervisor breathing down my neck. She had no chance to do it.
00:10:42Whatever. I'll patch it up first.
00:10:53Let's try to restore one more piece today. But I also need to beef up patrols. Whoever did it, you'd
00:10:59better hope I don't catch you.
00:11:14You'll do. Small chip. Easy fix.
00:11:17You'll do. Small chip. Easy fix.
00:11:38Once I finish this one, that's another 100k.
00:11:54A hundred thousand, a hundred thousand.
00:12:06A hundred thousand, a hundred thousand.
00:12:08A hundred thousand.
00:12:23What the hell?
00:12:25Where are my tools?
00:12:27Where's that big pile of tools?
00:12:29They grew legs and ran off.
00:12:34Who the hell did this?
00:12:41Found you!
00:12:56No one.
00:12:58Whoever trashed the eight-armed Asura bronze statue and stole my tools, is probably the
00:13:02same person.
00:13:03Alright.
00:13:04I'll check the cameras, that'll make it crystal clear.
00:13:14Rule 6.
00:13:16Before you restore an artifact, make sure you check how the nearby artifacts react.
00:13:24Who's trying to spook me again?
00:13:26I'm just trying to fix an artifact.
00:13:27And I gotta ask the other artifacts for their opinion?
00:13:30You mean?
00:13:31It was the other artifacts that stole my tools.
00:13:34Bull crap.
00:13:35What?
00:13:35A pile of scrap suddenly grew a mind of its own?
00:13:38Someone's definitely behind this.
00:13:40Pray I don't find out who it is.
00:13:42Check the cameras, and everything will be clear.
00:13:57What the hell is going on?
00:13:58The signal's out.
00:14:03Did someone mess with the cameras too?
00:14:13This is the diary the previous guard wrote.
00:14:17Day 1.
00:14:19I started working at this private museum.
00:14:21On the night shift as a guard.
00:14:23Nothing happened all night.
00:14:25Easiest money ever.
00:14:27Day 2.
00:14:28On patrol, I was shocked to find a bunch of artifacts had changed their pose.
00:14:31That bronze figurine had its arm raised.
00:14:33The eyes in the court lady's painting were staring at me.
00:14:37They definitely weren't like that before.
00:14:40Day 3.
00:14:41I told Secretary Sue about it.
00:14:43She said I had too much free time at night.
00:14:45Easy to let my mind run wild.
00:14:47If I was bored on the night shift, I could fix those damaged artifacts.
00:14:51She'd even pay extra.
00:14:52A hefty fee.
00:14:53Day 4.
00:14:54For the money, I started repairing that damaged bronze mirror.
00:14:57But they didn't want to be fixed.
00:14:59That night, a bronze sword suddenly flew out of the display case.
00:15:03It grazed my scalp.
00:15:04Almost stabbed me in the head.
00:15:07I realized...
00:15:08I shouldn't have tried to fix that thing.
00:15:10I stared at the mirror.
00:15:12My fingers started to harden.
00:15:13They turned white.
00:15:14Like porcelain.
00:15:16I...
00:15:17I'm becoming part of it.
00:15:18If this diary is right, those white porcelain shards at the front desk were actually the
00:15:23last guard?
00:15:25Put that way.
00:15:26It all makes sense.
00:15:27Including why my tools were stolen.
00:15:28But that's freaking nonsense.
00:15:33Wait, no.
00:15:34When I was fixing that busted mirror just now, I had my face in it for ages.
00:15:37I even touched the mirror with my fingers.
00:15:40Why am I totally fine?
00:15:43I was fixing it.
00:15:56I have to make sure that it was in it for me.
00:15:56I was going to come to the lens.
00:15:56I'm going to get my face.
00:15:59If I got much more, I'm going to get my face.
00:16:02If I had the teeth.
00:16:03You didn't have a tail.
00:16:04You know what?
00:16:11I was going to get my face, I'm going to give you a little bit of a betrayal.
00:16:11heck did this? Before you restore any artifact, make sure you take a look at
00:16:19how the other pieces next to it react.
00:16:28Whatever, I'll fix this bronze mirror first today.
00:16:45Guess I was overthinking. I can't believe I fell for the nonsense in the museum night shift rules.
00:17:20This artifact can actually move.
00:17:52Since when did I have reflexes this fast? And this much strength? I'm almost like Superman.
00:17:58No wonder I felt like I had energy to burn all day. So it wasn't just my imagination.
00:18:07What is this freaking thing doing? Can't beat me, so you're ready to surrender.
00:18:32You can do that?
00:18:57This piece of junk, it's really trying to kill me.
00:19:03I quit. Best move is to run.
00:19:31Is this a museum or a haunted house?
00:19:39and it even goes for sneak attacks
00:20:11finally they stopped
00:20:40too bad
00:20:42all broken
00:20:50Lou, by the one
00:20:56you, you smiled
00:21:03this place is creepy too
00:21:05this crappy museum, nothing here is normal
00:21:25no way
00:21:26my wound healed overnight
00:21:29what kind of healing is that?
00:21:30am I still human?
00:21:43perfect timing
00:21:44looks like you figured it out
00:21:46this isn't a normal museum is it?
00:21:49those busted artifacts move
00:21:50they steal stuff, they even swing swords at people
00:21:54how is this a night shift security job?
00:21:57it's literally putting your life on the line
00:21:59I quit, I don't care how much you pay
00:22:01I'm out
00:22:02I'm leaving
00:22:03I'm leaving
00:22:03Mr. Lin
00:22:04if you unilaterally break the contract
00:22:06you'll owe a 10 million penalty
00:22:0810 million?
00:22:10you could sell me and I still wouldn't be worth 10 million?
00:22:12worst case I'll just be a dead beat
00:22:14better than dying here
00:22:19you think you can just quit now?
00:22:24you restored the eight armed asura
00:22:27you saw it yourself, they don't want to be restored at all
00:22:37if you stay, they'll still hold back
00:22:39but if you leave, they'll follow you out
00:22:43you stay here, they're still wary, but if you leave, they'll follow you out
00:22:48you quit trying to spook me with that
00:22:51fine
00:22:52then go ahead and try
00:22:54but
00:22:55if you're willing to stay on starting tonight for every artifact you restore
00:23:01I'll pay you 10 times as much
00:23:0310 times?
00:23:05it used to be a hundred thousand per piece
00:23:0710 times
00:23:08so that's a million, right?
00:23:11I'm in
00:23:12people die for money, birds for food
00:23:14but you have to tell me
00:23:15what the heck this museum really is
00:23:17why all that junk moves
00:23:18and whether this place is actually haunted
00:23:23Mr. Lin, you ask too many questions
00:23:27here
00:23:27the truth doesn't come cheap
00:23:30if you want answers, fine
00:23:32for each artifact you successfully restore
00:23:34I'll answer one question
00:23:36tonight, good luck
00:23:45rule 7
00:23:46the guardians gallery is the only safe zone
00:23:49not sure if they'll welcome you
00:23:51another entry popped up out of nowhere
00:23:55guardians gallery
00:23:56so those massive bronze statues are actually called guardians
00:23:59then what are those moving things outside supposed to be?
00:24:02eldritch entity
00:24:03eldritch entity
00:24:04or something sealed away
00:24:09as for whether they welcome me
00:24:11I hold up there all night and no one kicked me out
00:24:14so I guess they do
00:24:15if things get weird again tonight
00:24:17I'll just run straight there
00:24:18and I'll be fine
00:24:19I still have no clue how these rules showed up
00:24:22but it all seems to be true
00:24:24since I've got a fallback
00:24:26time to get to work
00:24:28for the headless bronze figurine's head is missing
00:24:30if it asks you for a head
00:24:31throw at the mannequin head under your desk
00:24:33then lock the workroom door tight
00:24:36headless bronze figurine
00:24:39should be an easy fix
00:24:42I'll fix it tonight
00:24:44back when I worked as a mortician
00:24:46I sometimes got bodies from car wrecks with their heads gone
00:24:49we'd use plaster and polymer clay
00:24:51and sculpt a head that looked just like them for the family
00:25:12no original head?
00:25:14I'll make you a new one myself
00:25:22No original head?
00:25:31We did it!
00:25:57Here it comes.
00:26:14Wait till...
00:26:38Alright, you want the head, right?
00:26:40The original's gone, but I made you one that's exactly the same.
00:26:50What?
00:27:03Perfect!
00:27:04One million just hit my account.
00:27:11What's going on?
00:27:12So hot.
00:27:22Team A has lost contact. Team B's defenses have collapsed. Team C, all of Team C's vital signs are gone.
00:27:32Where is my body?
00:27:41Give me your body
00:27:59In the last 72 hours, eldritch incidents across the city have tripled
00:28:03The most dangerous one, codename confirmed, Bronze Head
00:28:07So far, Headquarters has lost three A-class Spirit Suppressors, seven B-class Spirit Suppressors
00:28:14Even just the head is already S-class
00:28:17Not a possibility, it's confirmed
00:28:19If it finds its body, the consequences would be unimaginable
00:28:30Target!
00:28:32It's gone!
00:28:33What?
00:28:34Gone!
00:28:36No way!
00:28:37It's not cloaked
00:28:40Yeah, we've completely lost the eldritch entity reading
00:28:43Pull up the last frame
00:28:49My body!
00:28:51Where's my body?
00:28:53It found a lead on the body
00:28:55I think you can stop!
00:29:04Pull up the last frame!
00:29:10It's a frightening story!
00:29:11I know!
00:29:16I know!
00:29:18I know!
00:29:21Oh!
00:29:21Oh!
00:29:25For real? It's gone inert.
00:29:39Lou Bidouan, who's that?
00:29:42The smith.
00:29:45So this S-Class Eldritch entity was made on purpose?
00:29:49No way!
00:29:50Besides this bronze head, its body is still unaccounted for.
00:29:54Don't forget, that's at least another S-Class Eldritch entity.
00:29:58Immediately gather everything on Lou Bidouan, every bit tied to that name.
00:30:02Find the source of this Eldritch entity case.
00:30:10I'm the night shift security guard. They even have me clean the front desk.
00:30:17What's this?
00:30:30Hold on.
00:30:32This woman.
00:30:34This is Secretary Sue.
00:30:36Why does this photo look so old?
00:30:44Year 17 of the Republican era.
00:30:47Paul.
00:30:50Year 17 of the Republican era.
00:30:52That would be 1928.
00:30:55That's almost 100 years ago.
00:31:01If this is Secretary Sue,
00:31:03wouldn't she be over 100 years old?
00:31:25Secretary Sue, morning.
00:31:28Time to settle up.
00:31:30Settle up.
00:31:31Yeah.
00:31:33I successfully restored the headless bronze figurine last night.
00:31:40You restored the headless bronze figurine?
00:31:43No way!
00:31:44The eight-armed Asura only had cracks on the body.
00:31:47There were fragments to piece together.
00:31:48But the headless bronze figurine's head was completely gone.
00:31:52How could you possibly fix that?
00:31:54I was like, what's the big deal?
00:31:56The original head is gone, then just sculpt a new one.
00:32:03Looks like I really picked the right person.
00:32:08Don't start praising me yet.
00:32:13You did promise for each artifact I restore, you'll answer one question.
00:32:17So my question now is, who exactly is the person in this photo, and why does she look exactly like
00:32:22you?
00:32:29Year 17 of the Republican era.
00:32:31That was almost 100 years ago.
00:32:34Uh, th-this is my grandma.
00:32:37Good genes run in my family.
00:32:38I take after my grandma.
00:32:40What's the big deal?
00:32:41The one million will hit your account on time.
00:32:43I got stuff to do.
00:32:44I'm heading out.
00:32:50Your grandma.
00:32:52Your grandma can fit into the same heels as you, Secretary Sue.
00:32:56The person in the photo.
00:32:58Is you.
00:33:03A woman who's lived 100 years.
00:33:05And those eerie broken artifacts.
00:33:07This museum is definitely hiding something big.
00:33:11I doubt this woman will tell the truth.
00:33:13Then I'll look into it myself.
00:33:19This museum's been around for quite a while.
00:33:22There's got to be something online, right?
00:33:34Not a trace.
00:33:36It's right downtown.
00:33:37It's right downtown.
00:33:46Got it.
00:33:48A remarkable figure from the Republican era.
00:33:51Figures.
00:33:52Same era as Secretary Sue.
00:33:59Damn.
00:34:00It was just there.
00:34:01How did it get deleted in a second?
00:34:09Back under precise blocking and deletion.
00:34:12There's definitely a major force at work.
00:34:14It's covering up everything about this museum and Lubai Duan.
00:34:20Looks like we won't find much online.
00:34:23Guess I'll have to ask that freaking fatty for a lead.
00:34:27He's got street connections.
00:34:28And he hears a lot of gossip.
00:34:39Brother Sue.
00:34:41You've been MIA for days.
00:34:43You turned down all the funeral home gigs.
00:34:45So what money-making hustle are you on?
00:34:50Picked up a night shift side job.
00:34:53Fatty.
00:34:54Take my advice.
00:34:56Some things the less you know the better.
00:34:58Quit acting all mysterious.
00:35:02Let me ask you.
00:35:04That pic of the eight-armed Asura you sent me the other day.
00:35:07You didn't just Photoshop it to mess with me, did you?
00:35:10Brother Sue, you can make fun of my weight.
00:35:12But don't trash my intel.
00:35:13That pic is 100% real.
00:35:18Brother Sue, check this out.
00:35:21This is another paranormal incident that just blew up.
00:35:24It got wiped from the whole internet right away.
00:35:26Deleted.
00:35:27But your boy Fatty was quick.
00:35:28Grabbed a screenshot.
00:35:37Wait.
00:35:39Isn't this the head I molded last night to scale for the headless bronze figurine?
00:35:43The one I made?
00:35:45How is it exactly the same?
00:35:50Shocked, huh?
00:35:52I heard this bronze head went around killing people.
00:35:55Kept yelling it was looking for its body.
00:35:57A lot of people died.
00:35:58So Secretary Sue wasn't lying to me.
00:36:01Turns out leaving the museum meant big trouble.
00:36:03Then what happened?
00:36:05Where did that thing go?
00:36:07Bet you don't know this part.
00:36:09The authorities sent in operatives from the Spirit Suppression Bureau.
00:36:13They took care of that head for good.
00:36:16Contained it.
00:36:20Spirit Suppression Bureau.
00:36:24What kind of agency is that?
00:36:27Brother Shu, you asked the right guy.
00:36:31The Spirit Suppression Bureau is a top secret special unit set up by the authorities.
00:36:36They handle the surge of unexplainable by science supernatural incidents nationwide.
00:36:41I heard supernatural incidents are spiking lately.
00:36:44The Spirit Suppression Bureau is short-staffed.
00:36:47They are recruiting people with special skills nationwide.
00:36:53Since the Spirit Suppression Bureau handles supernatural cases, and they contain that bronze head,
00:36:58then in their internal archives there must be intel on Private Museum No. 9 and Liu Baiduan.
00:37:03If we can get into the Spirit Suppression Bureau, we can definitely get some intel on that museum.
00:37:10Fatty?
00:37:11Do you know anyone in the Spirit Suppression Bureau?
00:37:14I want in, too.
00:37:18Damn!
00:37:18Brother Shu!
00:37:19Are you out of your mind?
00:37:20That's an official special unit.
00:37:22It's full of people who can leap across rooftops,
00:37:24big shots who slay demons.
00:37:26How would I even know someone like that?
00:37:28Didn't you say they were recruiting gifted folks left and right?
00:37:31They are, sure.
00:37:31But the bar is crazy high.
00:37:34As long as you can prove you have a special ability
00:37:37and pass the Spirit Suppression Bureau's assessment,
00:37:40you can get in on an exception.
00:37:53A special ability?
00:37:56Does this count?
00:38:05Big Brother Shu!
00:38:06You really have a special ability?
00:38:10Fatty!
00:38:11Help me sign up!
00:38:32Inside that bell.
00:38:34Feels like something alive is watching us.
00:38:37I couldn't breathe the second I got here.
00:38:40What the heck is this Spirit Suppression Bureau exam about?
00:38:48Welcome to the Spirit Suppression Bureau tryouts.
00:38:52I'm the chief examiner for this test.
00:38:54By G, deputy captain of the Spirit Suppression Bureau.
00:38:57The Bureau's rules for new recruits are simple.
00:39:00The strong stay.
00:39:01The weak get cut.
00:39:03See that bell?
00:39:04Inside, there's an A-class eldritch entity trapped.
00:39:08Codename, Face Eater.
00:39:09Damn, are you insane?
00:39:12An A-class eldritch entity can level half a city and you just put it here?
00:39:18Quiet.
00:39:19During the assessment, the Spirit Suppression Bureau will only lift part of its seal,
00:39:23letting out just a tiny bit of eldritch aura.
00:39:26If you can withstand D-class eldritch aura,
00:39:29you can become a trainee spirit warden with the Spirit Suppression Bureau.
00:39:33If you can withstand C-class eldritch aura,
00:39:36you can be certified directly as a full C-class spirit warden.
00:39:40If someone performs exceptionally and can withstand B-class eldritch aura,
00:39:44they can be certified straight as a B-class spirit warden.
00:39:48Deputy captain, can I ask something?
00:39:51What rank of spirit warden are you?
00:39:53Our deputy captain, Baiji, is an A-class spirit warden.
00:39:57In the entire Spirit Suppression Bureau, few make it to this rank.
00:40:00They're few and far between.
00:40:02For rookies like you,
00:40:03if you can handle D-class eldritch aura from the start without peeing your pants,
00:40:07that's already a miracle.
00:40:13A-class spirit warden.
00:40:15From the sound of it,
00:40:16A-class is pretty much the ceiling,
00:40:18the big shots.
00:40:25I wonder what level I can pass.
00:40:30The assessment starts now.
00:40:53My face!
00:40:56My face hurts so bad!
00:41:19Looks like I'll have no problem passing this assessment.
00:41:28Seriously? That's over the top.
00:41:32Keep going. Open it to C-Class.
00:41:49I saw it! There are faces in there! So many faces!
00:41:54Get out! Get out of my head! Don't eat me! Don't eat me!
00:42:11That's as far as you can go!
00:42:13Hurry! Get out! Don't hold me up! I'm taking on a higher difficulty!
00:42:17Set the difficulty straight to B-Class!
00:42:22Take the difficulty straight to B-Class!
00:42:26You sure?
00:42:27Of course!
00:42:34Deputy Captain, are we really cranking it up to B-Class?
00:42:37With me here, nothing will go wrong.
00:42:50Give me your face! Your face is in perfect shape! Let me have a bite! I'm starving!
00:43:12My face! My face got torn off!
00:43:17That newbie really doesn't know their place.
00:43:20C-Class and B-Class Spirit Suppressors are worlds apart.
00:43:23The Spirit Suppression Bureau has been recruiting rookies for years.
00:43:26Hardly anyone has ever passed the B-Class assessment right off the bat.
00:43:31No, wait! Look at that rookie! Quick!
00:43:52Oh no! The seal has been broken! It's going after the rookie!
00:43:56Everyone fall back!
00:44:21I don't sense any danger. It should hold, right?
00:44:29Crap! This rookie's nerves are shocked!
00:44:32That A-Class Eldritch entity scared him senseless!
00:44:34He can't even dodge on instinct! He isn't dodging!
00:44:37Even with teleportation, the Deputy Captain can't save him!
00:44:46Stop!
00:44:53Get back!
00:44:55Get back!
00:44:57Get back!
00:44:59Get back!
00:46:13We are doing a rookie test, right?
00:46:15He erased the A-class test with one punch.
00:46:21I don't remember this museum having anyone this strong.
00:46:34Lin Xu, congrats.
00:46:39You passed the new recruit assessment.
00:46:41You're officially part of the Spirit Suppression Bureau.
00:46:45The Bureau's top brass unanimously decided to certify you as an A-class Spirit Suppressor.
00:47:02A-class Spirit Suppressors are the backbone of the Bureau.
00:47:05Starting today, you'll get the Bureau's highest level perks and priority access to all intel and resources.
00:47:11Called it.
00:47:12With A-class clearance, I can investigate private museum number nine.
00:47:16Lin Xu, I need to give you a heads up about something.
00:47:20Your power is unusual.
00:47:22It doesn't look like something you trained up.
00:47:24More like you took it straight from an Eldritch Entity.
00:47:27What do you mean?
00:47:29In our world, there's a hard rule.
00:47:31The power of Eldritch Entities never vanishes into thin air.
00:47:35It only transfers.
00:47:37Even if an S-class Eldritch Entity is put down, its power still won't disappear.
00:47:42It goes straight to whoever killed it.
00:47:48Eldritch Power doesn't vanish.
00:47:50It just transfers.
00:47:52You just killed an A-class Eldritch Entity, the Face Eater.
00:47:56By that rule, you've now inherited the Face Eater's power.
00:47:59With the power you already had, our assessment of your actual combat ability is at least top-tier A-class.
00:48:07Killing an Eldritch Entity lets you gain its power.
00:48:15Ever since I restored the Eight-Armed Asura and the Headless Bronze Figurine, my body started to change.
00:48:21Don't tell me the Eight-Armed Asura and that Headless Bronze Figurine are both Eldritch Entities.
00:48:27But here's the thing.
00:48:28I didn't kill any Eldritch Entity.
00:48:31I only restored them.
00:48:34Captain Bai, what you're saying is way over my head.
00:48:37I don't really get it.
00:48:38To be straight with you, I used to work as a mortician.
00:48:41You know, in this line of work you deal with the dead every day.
00:48:44I probably by accident got something on me.
00:48:49Since you don't want to say more, the Spirit Suppression Bureau won't force you.
00:48:54Every powerful operative has their own secrets.
00:48:57As long as you use your power to fight Eldritch Entities, you're our ally, Lin Xu.
00:49:02On behalf of the Spirit Suppression Bureau Special Operations Unit, I hereby approve you joining the unit.
00:49:08Welcome aboard.
00:49:15Looking forward to working with you.
00:49:26Commander!
00:49:27Deep in the city's western underground waterway, we're detecting a high-intensity Eldritch Surge.
00:49:31Energy levels are spiking.
00:49:33It has exceeded the A-class threshold.
00:49:35Pull up the on-site feed now.
00:49:42Tentative codename.
00:49:43Rust-eaten iron centipede.
00:49:45Two teams have gone down.
00:49:46Municipal maintenance crews.
00:49:48They came under attack.
00:49:49Heavy casualties.
00:49:51We must stop it underground now.
00:49:53Do not let it reach the surface streets.
00:49:56Notify Deputy Captain Bai-Jai at once.
00:49:58Have her lead the Special Operations Unit.
00:50:01Head to the underground waterway immediately.
00:50:03Suppress the target.
00:50:18Normally, new recruits go through at least two weeks of training before joining Field Ops.
00:50:26But it's urgent right now.
00:50:28On top of that, I obviously can't treat you like just another rookie.
00:50:33Hope you understand.
00:50:36I get it.
00:50:39Bro, this is the real deal.
00:50:41We're facing a legit A-class Eldritch Entity.
00:50:44This isn't like shooting targets in a test.
00:50:47Don't freeze up later.
00:50:51Stop.
00:50:53It's right ahead.
00:50:57Get ready to fight.
00:51:14Falling up.
00:51:16Fire.
00:51:17We're going to fight.
00:51:32Get back!
00:51:34Got it!
00:51:40Strike!
00:52:08Don't take it head on, it hits way too hard!
00:52:20Damn, a full power strike from an A-class Eldritch entity, and it couldn't even break through
00:52:25his defense.
00:52:28Hey, is he really a rookie?
00:52:40I'm done.
00:52:41Trying to leave?
00:52:43My turn!
00:52:47Get up!
00:53:15What the- he's a freakin' rookie!
00:53:19Why do I feel like- he's even more vicious than an Eldritch entity.
00:53:34Still snarling.
00:53:41No!
00:53:51No!
00:54:02Shatter!
00:54:02Shattered!
00:54:26The smith, Lubaiduan.
00:54:33Lubaiduan.
00:54:36That Guardian Bronze statue.
00:54:39The A-Class Eldritch entity in this underground waterway.
00:54:42What exactly does it have to do with him?
00:54:52It's Lubaiduan again.
00:54:55Captain Bai! You know Lubaiduan?
00:54:58Come back to headquarters with me.
00:55:02You'll see when we get there.
00:55:19Check this out.
00:55:29This is the head from Fatty Wang's photo.
00:55:31It's exactly like the one I sculpted.
00:55:38I had no idea what the headless bronze figurine's original head looked like.
00:55:42Is that a coincidence or what?
00:55:45What's wrong?
00:55:46Have you seen this before?
00:55:48No, no.
00:55:50I just think the bronze head's design is way too creepy.
00:55:55It was a mysterious spirit suppressor who took this S-Class Eldritch entity down in one hit.
00:56:01Same as that A-Class Iron Centipede just now.
00:56:03On its body the same name is carved as well.
00:56:09Captain Bai!
00:56:11Who exactly is this Lubaiduan?
00:56:14According to the Spirit Suppression Bureau, the only public info we can find for now, Lubaiduan was a remarkable figure
00:56:20active in the Republican era.
00:56:22Rumor has it he was a master craftsman.
00:56:25With hands set to bend yin and yang, bringing dead objects to life.
00:56:29However, his life story and how he died, these key records are all locked down.
00:56:35Locked down? You don't even have clearance.
00:56:37Not just me, even the commander in chief can't check them directly because all intel on Lubaiduan has been filed
00:56:44under the code name Spirit Suppression Project No. 9 in SSS Class Top Secret Files.
00:56:49What? Spirit Suppression Project No. 9?
00:56:52That's right. It was the highest level secret set up in the early years after the founding.
00:56:57I've already asked the head office in the capital for partial access.
00:57:01But whether it's the A-Class Rust-Eaton Iron Centipede, or this bronze head, they clearly both trace back to
00:57:06Lubaiduan and are inseparable from him.
00:57:08Either way, we need to move fast to dig into everything about Lubaiduan and Spirit Suppression Project No. 9.
00:57:14Approval process. It'll probably take a few days.
00:57:16Lin Xu, I know you're in a rush, but it's extremely complicated. Just hang tight for a few days.
00:57:23Once the paperwork comes through, I'll let you know right away.
00:57:34Private Museum No. 9.
00:57:37Spirit Suppression Project No. 9. They both have No. 9 in the name.
00:57:41And both are tied to Lubaiduan. There are countless connections.
00:57:44Could it be that one full of broken eldritch artifacts Private Museum No. 9 has another identity too?
00:57:50Lin Xu, did you hear me?
00:57:57Okay, I'll wait.
00:58:01Private Museum No. 10.
00:58:14Private Museum No. 10.
00:58:18threatened to stop the restoration and I gotta make secretary sue tell the truth
00:58:23if she dares to pull that grandma from a hundred years ago nonsense on me again
00:58:27I'm freaking done with this job
00:58:55last figures earlier today in the underground waterway the one we ran into that a class eldritch
00:59:02entity the iron centipede turns out it really was the one that broke out of this museum but why
00:59:07would something in the museum that's just a tiny display become over 10 meters long outside the
00:59:13stuff in this museum does move and can hurt people but in size and strength compared to the a class
00:59:18and s-class eldritch entities outside it's night and day what the hell is going on
00:59:32one two three
00:59:4110
00:59:54over 30 in total empty pedestals marked as missing
01:00:00doesn't that mean there are at least 30 some more like the iron centipede out there
01:00:06eldritch entities as terrifying as the bronze head roaming around killing people
01:00:27let's fix it tonight
01:00:36pretend you didn't hear it i'm good at that
01:00:50can you see me

01:03:18is actually a tomb
01:03:20a tomb
01:03:21private museum number nine
01:03:23it's number nine
01:03:24spirit suppression project
01:03:30a tomb
01:03:31so whose tomb is it
01:03:33and lubaid one
01:03:34who exactly is lubaid one
01:03:36what role does he play
01:03:38mr. lin
01:03:39because i lied to you last time
01:03:41to make it up to you
01:03:43i already answered two of your questions just now
01:03:45what this museum is
01:03:48and
01:03:48its connection to the spirit suppression project
01:03:51but just now
01:03:52you fired off five more questions
01:03:56secretary sue
01:03:56don't try to game the system here
01:03:59rules are rules
01:04:00rules if you want to know whose tomb this is
01:04:04who lubaid one is
01:04:06tonight keep working on the repairs
01:04:20spirit suppression project number nine
01:04:23spirit suppression project number nine is this museum
01:04:23and this is a tomb
01:04:27then in here
01:04:30who's actually buried
01:04:40the file you requested to view got approved
01:04:49finally got it
01:04:52what's going on
01:04:56when i first got it
01:04:58i reacted the same way
01:04:59this file is incomplete
01:05:00or rather
01:05:01it was deliberately scrubbed out
01:05:03the higher-ups understand why we're investigating
01:05:05there have been mass outbreaks of eldritch entities lately
01:05:08they also know this likely ties to spirit suppression project number nine
01:05:12but
01:05:13the top brass got in touch with the participants from spirit suppression project number nine back then
01:05:18they were extremely adamant
01:05:20they do not want this file released to the spirit suppression bureau at all
01:05:23so what the higher-ups can show us is just the scraps that weren't completely blacked out
01:05:28the participants in spirit suppression project number nine
01:05:31that was from the early prc maybe even the republican era
01:05:36if those participants are still alive
01:05:38they'd be extremely old
01:05:47lived for over a hundred years
01:05:49still not impossible
01:05:51i happen to know as secretary sue
01:05:53he's over a hundred
01:05:57body is the pact
01:06:03self-sacrifice to the seal
01:06:05permanent suppression
01:06:12what the heck does that even mean
01:06:17wait
01:06:2114 people
01:06:23why 14 people
01:06:26if the base depicts lubaiduan as one of the guardian statues
01:06:30then that's the one mentioned in the files
01:06:32the spirit suppressor who chose self-sacrifice to the seal
01:06:36but the museum only has 12 intact guardian statues
01:06:40plus the one that collapsed into rubble
01:06:42that makes only 13
01:06:43where did the 14th person go?
01:06:48Lin Xu
01:06:49I suspect lubaiduan
01:06:51is one of the 14 participants in spirit suppression project number nine
01:06:56lately so many high-level eldritch entities have emerged and they are all connected to him
01:07:01this definitely means that spirit suppression project number nine has gone terribly wrong
01:07:08we have to find the project's real location
01:07:11Only by investigating the site can we address this at the source and end the city's Eldritch Entity Crisis.
01:07:17I've known the address for a while, but what's inside is way more complicated than you think.
01:07:28I gave the issue move out now.
01:07:30In a recently excavated ancient tomb on the outskirts, abnormal Eldritch fluctuations have erupted.
01:07:36The Spirit Suppression Bureau's advance team is trapped underground.
01:07:39Their status is unknown. You two are ordered to lead a team there for immediate rescue.
01:07:45Copy that.
01:08:00The magnetic field's a mess. The Eldritch Entity's jamming is too strong. The scanner can't locate the advance team.
01:08:08Turn off your flashlights.
01:08:11Let me handle it.
01:08:36The Eldritch Entity
01:08:41Over there. At your nine o'clock.
01:08:42About three hundred meters out. They're being swarmed.
01:08:53Crap! I can't hold on!
01:09:19Captain Bai, Lin Xu.
01:09:22You finally made it.
01:09:24Captain Bai, Lin Xu.
01:09:25Look at the wall.
01:09:35Wait no, the patterns and flow of these runes actually match the ones in the museums don't all under those
01:09:41guardian statues the golden lines they stand on.
01:09:43They come from the same source.
01:09:51Right here.
01:10:01The size and shape of this groove match those in the museum the exhibit pedestals marked as missing exactly the
01:10:07same.
01:10:08This isn't a tomb at all, it's a museum that used to house artifacts.
01:10:13Lin Xu, look at this!
01:10:17You locked me up for 50 years.
01:10:20Now I'm going to destroy everything you worked for.
01:10:23What does that mean?
01:10:31These are...
01:10:39The damaged artifacts missing from the museum. Why are they scattered here? This person is definitely deeply tied to private
01:10:46museum number 9. Maybe even to those artifacts lost overseas.
01:10:52Deputy captain, these two items, can I borrow them for a while?
01:10:55Borrow these two artifacts?
01:10:57That's right, I can really use them, but I can't explain right now.
01:11:02You did a great job on this rescue. I can make the call and let you take these two items.
01:11:07Thanks.
01:11:10Thanks.
01:11:12Thanks.
01:11:13Thanks.
01:11:14Thanks.
01:11:15Thanks.
01:11:15Nice.
01:11:31Thanks.
01:11:43back. Return the originals. How hard is that? Pretty much like restoring broken artifacts,
01:11:49right? Call it a million per piece. Two would be two million. Most importantly, Secretary
01:11:56Su still has to answer two more questions. As long as I recover or fix enough artifacts,
01:12:02it won't take long. With a full picture on Private Museum number nine,
01:12:07and I'll get to the bottom of it.
01:12:20Gone again.
01:12:29This guy Lin Shu. As soon as he clocks out at night, his trail just goes cold. I've been tailing
01:12:36him the
01:12:37whole way, but whenever I get near this old street, he just vanishes into thin air. I can't find a
01:12:43single trace.
01:12:46The moment he joined the Spirit Suppression Bureau, he immediately used A-Class Clearance
01:12:52to dig into Spirit Suppression Project number nine. With that kind of terrifying power,
01:12:57he somehow knows nothing about the Eldritch rules.
01:13:01Lin Shu.
01:13:02Who the heck are you?
01:13:09One, two, three, eleven, twelve, including this shattered one. That makes thirteen statues. The
01:13:23files spell it out. Fourteen Spirit Suppressors. Body is the pact. But the fourteenth person, who are they?
01:13:30Where did they go?
01:13:50And they still have the nerve to cause trouble.
01:14:25I get it.
01:14:26You, you guardians keep burning through your bodies and power to suppress all the eldritch artifacts in this museum.
01:14:32Your body's cracking because your power was drained dry.
01:14:35That collapsed statue might have died for good when its power ran out.
01:14:41Were you protecting me just now?
01:15:17You, you, you, you, you.
01:15:22Carpentry, pottery.
01:15:24Lu Bai Duang is a blacksmith.
01:15:26So the ones in this museum, the bronze artifacts were all cast by him.
01:15:30Wouldn't that mean?
01:15:31The ceramics were fired by the potter Ni Wing.
01:15:35The painting on the wall is court ladies adorning their hair with flowers.
01:15:39It was painted by the painter Dan King-Zi.
01:15:42The blood-weeping jade hairpin was carved by the jade carver B. Hen.
01:15:46Then does that mean all the artifacts in this museum were made by them?
01:15:58I wish to turn to stone and stand guard for a hundred years.
01:16:02To those who come after, do not mourn.
01:16:05We have no regrets.
01:16:32Speed up the repairs.
01:16:34We're running out of time.
01:16:36Something's off.
01:16:38Those notes that popped up on the museum night shift rules earlier were all printed text.
01:16:43But this time the writing is sloppy and rushed.
01:16:47Clearly handwritten.
01:16:48Even the color is off.
01:16:49It looks like it was written in blood.
01:16:53What the hell are you?
01:16:59Damn.
01:17:03This book is actually alive.
01:17:05It can even understand me and answer my questions.
01:17:16Since you can talk.
01:17:17All right then.
01:17:19Let me ask you.
01:17:20Who exactly created you?
01:17:28Someone who wanted those who came after to survive.
01:17:32Then tell me.
01:17:34What exactly is this museum?
01:17:36Who's buried underneath?
01:17:37The 14th Guardian.
01:17:39And where are they?
01:17:44Go ask her.
01:17:46Who is she?
01:17:47Do you mean Secretary Sue?
01:17:51Hey, don't play dead on me.
01:17:53Is she Secretary Sue or not?
01:17:54Why do we have to keep restoring the artifacts?
01:17:57Spit it out, will you?
01:18:00Hey.
01:18:00The Seer's Death Tongue.
01:18:02Old buddy.
01:18:03You there?
01:18:09Damn.
01:18:10You bail right when it matters.
01:18:19Go ask her then.
01:18:21Fine.
01:18:23Then I'll take this her to mean Secretary Sue.
01:18:31Secretary Sue, morning.
01:18:34Looks like you didn't restore anything new last night.
01:18:38I didn't restore any damaged artifacts last night.
01:18:41But I did something even harder than restoring them.
01:18:44What is it?
01:18:46I brought two back of the artifacts the museum lost.
01:18:49A bronze wine vessel and a half-jade pendant.
01:18:52I've already put them back on their original display stands.
01:18:55What?
01:18:56You actually found the artifacts the museum lost out there.
01:18:59So, did you run into that person?
01:19:03That person?
01:19:05Which person do you mean, Secretary Sue?
01:19:10Do you mean the one who left an inscription on the secret room wall?
01:19:14Anyone who can make Secretary Sue who's lived a hundred years this nervous has to be a deadly threat.
01:19:19I did.
01:19:22He asked me to give you a message.
01:19:24You locked him up for 50 years.
01:19:26Now, he's going to destroy everything you've worked for.
01:19:31Mr. Lin, I don't know where you picked up that line.
01:19:34But if you actually ran into that person with your skills, there's no way you'd make it back alive.
01:19:40Damn, I'm being underestimated.
01:19:41She has no idea how strong I am now.
01:19:45All right.
01:19:46I won't keep you in suspense.
01:19:52Secretary Sue, you tell me.
01:19:54Should I call this thing museum night shift rules or the seer's death tone?
01:20:03You...
01:20:04You actually talked to it?
01:20:06What did it say to you?
01:20:07It told me to stay alive, keep restoring.
01:20:10It also said, if I have any questions, I should come straight to you.
01:20:16Secretary Sue, let's be straight with each other.
01:20:18I know what you're after, which is to have me keep restoring artifacts in this museum.
01:20:22I can agree to that.
01:20:23I'll keep putting my life on the line for you.
01:20:25But only if you answer all my questions.
01:20:27No more secrets or lies.
01:20:35Even it is willing to guide you.
01:20:38Looks like it really has accepted you.
01:20:41I promise you.
01:20:43What do you want to know?
01:20:44If I know it, I'll tell you.
01:20:46First question.
01:20:47Those incomplete artifacts in this museum.
01:20:50What exactly are they?
01:20:52And one more thing.
01:20:53When I restore these artifacts, why do I suddenly get so much power out of nowhere?
01:20:58Mr. Lin, haven't you already joined the Spirit Suppression Bureau?
01:21:02The Spirit Suppression Bureau has an iron rule.
01:21:05You should know it by heart by now.
01:21:07An Eldritch Entity's power doesn't disappear.
01:21:10It only transfers.
01:21:11That's right.
01:21:12In this world, Eldritch Entities are immortal.
01:21:15To wipe out an Eldritch Entity for good, the only way is to steal it.
01:21:19When you restore those incomplete artifacts, that is basically resealing them.
01:21:24To seal it, is to kill it.
01:21:26So, when you restore an artifact completely, at that moment, the Eldritch Entity is resealed.
01:21:31The power drawn from it naturally shifts to you, the Restorer.
01:21:35That's why you keep getting stronger.
01:21:39Alright.
01:21:41Then let me ask you this.
01:21:42Since these damaged artifacts are all terrifying Eldritch Entities.
01:21:49Why do the ones lost abroad have world-ending power?
01:21:52But inside this museum, they are stuck as tiny, lifeless objects.
01:21:56And most can barely even twitch.
01:21:58Also, even my own power in here versus outside is massively different.
01:22:02It feels like in here, my power is cut down by more than half.
01:22:06Because this is the fundamental reason Private Museum No. 9 was built.
01:22:11Inside this museum, all power from Eldritch Entities must be absolutely suppressed.
01:22:18Once that power is suppressed.
01:22:21Lin Xu, have you ever really thought about it?
01:22:24This museum, why does it have only five major galleries?
01:22:29Bronze Gallery, Jade Gallery, Calligraphy and Painting Gallery, Ceramics Gallery, Terracotta Warriors Gallery.
01:22:39Because the layout of these five galleries follows the Supreme Taoist Formation, the charts of the true forms of the
01:22:46Five Peaks, to the letter, the museum itself, is a massive, heaven-sealing grand array.
01:23:18So, let's go.
01:23:30Let's go.
01:23:51Let's go.
01:24:21Let's go.
01:24:22Keeping the countless eldritch entities in the museum firmly suppressed.
01:24:30Lin Shu.
01:24:32Now you know everything. The Guardian's power is running out. This array won't hold much longer.
01:24:45Let's go.
01:24:48Let's go.
01:25:01Let's go.
01:25:04Let's go.
01:25:07Let's go.
01:25:16Let's go.
01:25:31Let's go.
01:25:36Let's go.
01:25:48Let's go.
01:25:52Let's go.
01:25:55Let's go.
01:25:55Let's go.
01:25:57Let's go.
01:25:58Let's go.
01:25:58Let's go.
