Short filmTranscript
00:00:00My name is Lin Xu. I am an embalmer who works with the dead.
00:00:04But 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.
00:00:27Otherwise, 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.
00:00:57It is almost time. I have to go.
00:01:03Hope you can last a couple more days.
00:01:13One. 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.
00:01:29One. If you hear a woman crying, pretend you did not hear it.
00:01:34Do not answer any of her questions.
00:01:38Vor, 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.
00:02:09I've seen every kind of creepy scene.
00:02:16This crappy museum.
00:02:18Why 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.
00:03:48We can't handle this. Evacuate the entire city now.
00:04:13What kind of power is this?
00:04:16Still a bit crooked. It won't stand.
00:04:18Need a hanger bracket to secure it.
00:04:47What kind of power is this?
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.
00:05:17What 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.
00:05:37The S-Class Eight-Armed Asura's power 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.
00:06:03My friend shot this 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?
00:06:12Throw in some lightning effects too. Fatty, he'll believe any gossip.
00:06:15Quit buying these dumb doctored rumors. I've been a mortician for years and never seen a real Eldritch incident.
00:06:20Get back to your day job.
00:06:22But seriously, it's weird. I 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?
00:07:24Wh-what? You repaired the 8-armed Hasura bronze statue?
00:07:28Woo! Hurry, take me to see it!
00:07:42You! You actually took the 8-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?
00:08:33You'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.
00:09:05For 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.
00:09:52Here we go. Another night shift. Working the night shift tonight. I'll also restore one more artifact.
00:10:13What'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
00:11:00better hope I don't catch you.
00:11:14You'll do. Small chip. Easy fix.
00:11:17You'll do. Small chip. Easy fix.
00:11:39Once I finish this one, that's another 100k.
00:11:55100k.
00:11:56100k.
00:12:02100k.
00:12:07100k.
00:12:07100k.
00:12:22What 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 8-armed Asura bronze statue and stole my tools is probably the same person.
00:13:03Alright, I'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.
00:13:28And 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?
00:13:36A 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.
00:13:44And everything will be clear.
00:13:57What the hell is going on?
00:13:59The 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.
00:14:32That bronze figurine had its arm raised.
00:14:34The 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.
00:14:55I 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 I 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.
00:15:15Like porcelain.
00:15:16I…
00:15:17I'm becoming part of it.
00:15:19If 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.
00:15:29But that's freaking nonsense.
00:15:33Wait.
00:15:34No.
00:15:34When I was fixing that busted mirror just now, I had my face in it for ages.
00:15:38I even touched the mirror with my fingers.
00:15:40Why am I totally fine?
00:15:43Who?
00:16:10Who the heck did this?
00:16:15Before you restore any artifact, make sure you take a look at how the other pieces next
00:16:20to it react.
00:16:28Whatever.
00:16:29I'll fix this bronze mirror first today.
00:16:45I guess I was overthinking.
00:16:47I can't believe I fell for the nonsense in the museum night shift rules.
00:17:16I've found you anywhere in front inempire, and it is so bad that I was going through this
00:17:21This artifact can actually move.
00:17:52Since when did I have reflexes this fast?
00:17:54And this much strength?
00:17:56I'm almost like Superman.
00:17:58No wonder I felt like I had energy to burn all day.
00:18:00So it wasn't just my imagination.
00:18:07What is this freaking thing doing?
00:18:09Can't beat me, so you're ready to surrender.
00:18:32You can do that?
00:18:57This piece of junk...
00:18:59It'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.
00:20:12Finally, they stopped.
00:20:40Too bad.
00:20:43All broken.
00:20:50Lou, by Duan.
00:20:57You...
00:20:57You smiled!
00:21:03This place is creepy too.
00:21:05This crappy museum.
00:21:07Nothing 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.
00:21:45Looks like you figured it out.
00:21:47This isn't a normal museum, is it?
00:21:49Those busted artifacts move!
00:21:51They steal stuff!
00:21:52They 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!
00:22:00I don't care how much you pay!
00:22:01I'm out!
00:22:02I'm leaving.
00:22:03Mr. Lin.
00:22:04If you unilaterally break the contract, you'll owe a 10 million penalty.
00:22:0910 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 deadbeat.
00:22:14Better than dying here.
00:22:19You think you can just quit now?
00:22:24You restored the Atom Dasura.
00:22:27You saw it yourself.
00:22:29They 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.
00:22:45But if you leave, they'll follow you out.
00:22:48You quit trying to spook me with that.
00:22:52Fine.
00:22:52Then go ahead and try.
00:22:55But if you're willing to stay on starting tonight for every artifact you restore, I'll pay you 10 times as
00:23:03much.
00:23:0310 times?
00:23:05It used to be 100,000 per piece.
00:23:0710 times.
00:23:08So that's a million, right?
00:23:12I'm in!
00:23:12People die for money.
00:23:13Birds for food.
00:23:14But you have to tell me, what the heck this museum really is, why all that junk moves, and whether
00:23:19this place is actually haunted.
00:23:2310 times.
00:23:24Mr. Lin, you ask too many questions.
00:23:27Kia.
00:23:28The truth doesn't come cheap.
00:23:30If you want answers, fine.
00:23:32For each artifact you successfully restore, I'll answer one question.
00:23:36Tonight, good luck.
00:23:45Rule 7.
00:23:47The Guardian's Gallery is the only safe zone. Not sure if they'll welcome you.
00:23:52Another entry popped up out of nowhere.
00:23:56Guardian's Gallery.
00:23:57So those massive bronze statues are actually called Guardians.
00:24:00Then 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, I'll just run straight there, and I'll be fine.
00:24:19I still have no clue how these rules showed up, but it all seems to be true.
00:24:24Since I've got a fallback, time to get to work.
00:24:28For the Headless Bronze Figurine's head is missing.
00:24:30If it asks you for a head, throw at the mannequin head under your desk.
00:24:34Then 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, I sometimes got bodies from car wrecks with their heads gone.
00:24:49We'd use plaster and polymer clay, and 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.
00:25:21No original head?
00:25:33No original head was one.
00:25:33I'll make you a new one.
00:25:43No original head.
00:25:45I bought one of my friends.
00:25:47I was approached by the other side of my friends.
00:25:48He's in the home.
00:25:48Look at me.
00:25:48You're a baker.
00:25:49I'm a baker.
00:25:50Go away.
00:25:53You're a baker.
00:25:53I have a baker.
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!
00:27:05One 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?
00:27:40Give me your body.
00:27:59In the last 72 hours, Eldritch incidents across the city have tripled. The 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. If 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.
00:28:40It's not cloaked.
00:28:41We've completely lost the Eldritch entity reading.
00:28:44Pull up the last frame.
00:28:49My body?
00:28:51Where's my body?
00:28:54Where's my body?
00:28:54It found a lead on the body.
00:28:55Oh, my God.
00:29:26For real? It's gone inert.
00:29:39Lou Bidouan, who's that?
00:29:42The smith.
00:29:46So 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.
00:30:03Find the source of this Eldritch entity case.
00:30:10I'm the night shift security guard.
00:30:12They even have me clean the front desk.
00:30:15Hmm?
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, wouldn't she be over a hundred 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, 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.
00:32:45I'm heading out.
00:32:51I got stuff to do.
00:32:51Your 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.
00:33:46Got 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.
00:34:02How did it get deleted in a second?
00:34:09That kind of 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.
00:34:26He'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.
00:34:54Fatty.
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 Shu, 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 Shu, 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?
00:35:44The one I made?
00:35:45How is it exactly the same?
00:35:51Shocked, 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.
00:35:59So Secretary Shu wasn't lying to me.
00:36:01Turns out leaving the museum meant big trouble.
00:36:04Then what happened?
00:36:05Where did that thing go?
00:36:07Bet you don't know this part.
00:36:10The authorities sent in operatives from the Spirit Suppression Bureau.
00:36:14They 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.
00:36:42I heard supernatural incidents are spiking lately.
00:36:45The 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 Lou Bidouan.
00:37:03If we can get into the Spirit Suppression Bureau, we can definitely get some intel on that museum.
00:37:11Batty, do you know anyone in the Spirit Suppression Bureau?
00:37:14I want in too.
00:37:18Damn, Brother Shu, are 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, big 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.
00:37:32But 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?
00:38:05My brother Shu, you really have a special ability?
00:38:10Daddy, help 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?
00:38:49Welcome 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?
00:39:05Inside, there's an A-class Eldritch entity trapped.
00:39:08Codename, Face Eater.
00:39:10Damn.
00:39:11Are 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,
00:39:20the 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.
00:39:49Deputy captain, can I ask something?
00:39:51What rank of Spirit Warden are you?
00:39:54Our deputy captain, Baiji, is an A-class Spirit Warden.
00:39:57In the entire Spirit Suppression Bureau, few make it to this rank.
00:40:01They'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, A-class is pretty much the ceiling, the big shots.
00:40:26I wonder what level I can pass.
00:40:30The assessment starts now.
00:40:53My face!
00:40:56My face hurts so bad.
00:40:58My face hurts so bad.
00:41:00My face hurts so bad.
00:41:00My face hurts so bad.
00:41:05I'm aSí.
00:41:19Looks like I'll have no problem passing this assessment.
00:41:28seriously that's over the top

00:43:12my face my face got torn off
00:43:17that newbie really doesn't know their place c-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
00:43:54it's going after the rookie

00:44:22i don't sense any danger
00:44:25it should hold right
00:44:29crap
00:44:29this rookie's nerves are shot
00:44:31that a-class eldritch entity scared him senseless
00:44:34he can't even dodge on instinct
00:44:36he isn't dodging
00:44:37even with teleportation the deputy captain can't save him
00:44:46stop

00:44:55get back
00:44:59get back
00:45:00go
00:45:00go
00:45:03go
00:45:04go
00:45:10Let's go.
00:45:57So, that's an A-class eldritch entity, the Face Eater, and a rookie blew both the bell and the entity
00:46:03to bits.
00:46:05With just one hit.
00:46:13We are doing a rookie test, right? He 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. You're officially part of the Spirit Suppression Bureau.
00:46:46The 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.
00:47:12Called it. With A-class clearance I can investigate Private Museum No. 9.
00:47:16Lin Xu, I need to give you a heads up about something. Your power is unusual. It doesn't look like
00:47:23something you trained up, more 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. The power of eldritch entities never vanishes into thin air, it only transfers.
00:47:37Even if an S-class eldritch entity is put down, its power still won't disappear. It goes straight to whoever
00:47:43killed it.
00:47:48Eldritch power doesn't vanish. It just transfers.
00:47:52You just killed an A-class eldritch entity, the Face Eater. By that rule, you've now inherited the Face Eater's
00:47:59power.
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.
00:48:22Don't tell me the Eight-Armed Asura and that Headless Bronze Figurine are both eldritch entities.
00:48:27But here's the thing. I didn't kill any eldritch entity. I only restored them.
00:48:34Captain Bai, what you're saying is way over my head. I 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. I probably by accident got something
00:48:46on 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. As long as you use your power to fight eldritch entities, you're our
00:49:01ally, Lin Xu.
00:49:02On behalf of the Spirit Suppression Bureau Special Operations Unit, I hereby approve you joining the unit. Welcome aboard.
00:49:15Looking forward to working with you.
00:49:26Commander! Deep in the city's western underground waterway, we're detecting a high-intensity eldritch surge. Energy levels are spiking. It
00:49:33has exceeded the A-class threshold.
00:49:35Pull up the on-site feed now.
00:49:42Tentative code name. Rust-eaten iron centipede. Two teams have gone down. Municipal maintenance crews. They came under attack. Heavy
00:49:49casualties.
00:49:51We must stop it underground now. Do not let it reach the surface streets.
00:49:56Notify Deputy Captain Bai-Jai at once. Have her lead the Special Operations Unit. Head to the underground waterway immediately.
00:50:03Suppress the target.
00:50:14Why are you?
00:50:18I don't want to reduce the firetakers.
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. On 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.
00:51:14Fire him up!
00:51:16Fire him up!
00:51:27Fire him up!
00:51:33Get back!
00:51:34Got it.
00:51:40Strike!
00:51:41Let's go!
00:51:42Go!
00:51:43Come!
00:52:04Go!
00:52:08Let's get it.
00:52:09Hit head on! It hits way too hard!
00:52:19Damn.
00:52:20A full power strike from an A-class Eldritch entity.
00:52:24And it couldn't even break through his defense.
00:52:29He...
00:52:29Is he really a rookie?
00:52:40I'm done. Trying to leave?
00:52:43My turn!
00:52:47Get up!
00:53:15What the? He's a freaking rookie!
00:53:19Why do I feel like...
00:53:23He's even more vicious than an Eldritch entity.
00:53:34Still snarling.
00:53:40Thanks.
00:54:02Shattered!
00:54:03Shattered!
00:54:27The smith, Lubayduan.
00:54:34Lubayduan.
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 Lubayduan again.
00:54:55Captain Bai! You know Lubayduan?
00:54:58Come back to headquarters with me.
00:55:02You'll see when we get there.
00:55:20Check 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 Lubayduan?
00:56:14According to the Spirit Suppression Bureau, the only public info we can find for now,
00:56:19Lubayduan was a remarkable figure active in the Republican era.
00:56:23Rumor has it he was a master craftsman.
00:56:25With hands said 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,
00:56:40because all intel on Lubayduan has been filed under the code name Spirit Suppression Project No. 9 in SSS Class
00:56:48Top Secret Files.
00:56:49What? Spirit Suppression Project No. 9?
00:56:52That's right. It was the highest level secret setup 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,
00:57:05they clearly both trace back to Lubayduan, and are inseparable from him.
00:57:08Either way, we need to move fast to dig into everything about Lubayduan and Spirit Suppression Project No. 9.
00:57:14Approval process. It'll probably take a few days.
00:57:17Lin Xu, I know you're in a rush, but it's extremely complicated.
00:57:20Just hang tight for a few days. Once 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 Lubayduan. 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?
00:57:57Alright.
00:58:12I'll wait tonight I'll restore one more artifact first thing tomorrow I'll
00:58:18threaten 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
00:58:52last
00:58:57figures earlier today in the underground waterway the one we ran into that a class eldritch entity
00:59:02the iron centipede turns out it really was the one that broke out of this museum but why would
00:59:08something in the museum that's just a tiny display become over 10 meters long outside the stuff in
00:59:14this museum does move and can hurt people but in size and strength compared to the a class and s
00:59:18class eldritch entities outside it's night and day what the hell is going on
00:59:31one two three
00:59:41ten
00:59:55over 30 in total empty pedestals marked as missing
01:00:01doesn'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
01:00:18the iron centipede out there are at least 30 some more like the iron centipede out there
01:00:28let's fix it tonight
01:00:37pretend you didn't hear it i'm good at that

01:01:54this damn museum not only does every artifact move could it be
01:02:00even the building itself is alive too
01:02:21secretary sue i've restored another artifact
01:02:24much appreciated the one million restoration fee will be transferred as agreed to your card shortly
01:02:34you'll get every cent but it's not just about the money
01:02:38per our deal
01:02:40you still owe me one question
01:02:44and it has to be the truth don't give me that grandma's photo crap to try to fool me
01:02:48if you dare lie to me again today i swear no matter how much you pay me i will never
01:02:53take on another repair for anything in this museum
01:02:56what do you want to know what's the real story behind this museum
01:03:02what do you want to know what's the real story behind this museum
01:03:20what do you want to know what's the real story behind this museum
01:03:28how do you know about spirit suppression project number nine
01:03:31a tomb
01:03:32so whose tomb is it and lou bai duan
01:03:34who exactly is lou bai duan what role does he play
01:03:38mr lu
01:03:40because i lied to you last time to make it up to you
01:03:43i already answered two of your questions just now
01:03:46what this museum is and
01:03:48its connection to the spirit suppression project
01:03:51but just now you fired off five more questions
01:03:56secretary sue don't try to game the system here
01:03:59rules are rules
01:04:01if you want to know whose tomb this is
01:04:05who lou bai duan is tonight keep working on the repairs
01:04:21spirit suppression project number nine is this museum
01:04:24and 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
01:04:53what's going on
01:04:56when i first got it i reacted the same way
01:04:59this file is incomplete
01:05:01or rather it was deliberately scrubbed out
01:05:03the higher-ups understand why we're investigating
01:05:06there have been mass outbreaks of eldritch entities lately
01:05:08they also know this likely ties to spirit suppression project number nine
01:05:13but the top brass got in touch with the participants
01:05:16from spirit suppression project number nine back then they 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
01:05:32that was from the early prc maybe even the republican era
01:05:35if those participants are still alive
01:05:38they'd be extremely old
01:05:47lived for over a hundred years
01:05:50still not impossible i happen to know a secretary su
01:05:53he's over a hundred
01:05:58body is the pact
01:06:03self-sacrifice to the seal permanent suppression
01:06:12what the heck does that even mean
01:06:18wait
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
01:06:44where did the 14th person go
01:06:48linshu
01:06:50i suspect lubaiduan
01:06:52is one of the 14 participants in spirit suppression project number nine
01:06:57lately 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 can 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 their status is unknown
01:07:41you 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 entities jamming is too strong the scanner can't locate the advance team
01:08:09turn off your flashlights
01:08:10let me handle it
01:08:14so
01:08:22so
01:08:27so
01:08:41Over there, after 9 o'clock, about 300 meters out, they're being swarmed.
01:08:53Crap, I can't hold on!
01:09:19Captain Bai, Lin Xiu, you finally made it!
01:09:25Look at the wall.
01:09:36Wait, no, the patterns and flow of these runes actually match the ones in the museum's domed
01:09:40hall under those guardian statues the golden lines they stand on.
01:09:43They come from the same source.
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 Xiu, look at this!
01:10:18You locked me up for 50 years.
01:10:20Now I'm going to destroy everything you worked for.
01:10:24What does that mean?
01:10:39The damaged artifacts missing from the museum.
01:10:42Why are they scattered here?
01:10:44This person is definitely deeply tied to private museum number 9.
01:10:47Maybe 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.
01:11:04I can make the call, and let you take these two items.
01:11:07Thanks.
01:11:10Thanks.
01:11:40The two items are packed.
01:11:46How hard is that?
01:11:48Pretty much like restoring broken artifacts, right?
01:11:50Called it a million per piece.
01:11:52Two would be two million.
01:11:54Most importantly, Secretary-Su still has to answer two more questions.
01:11:59As long as I recover or fix enough artifacts, you won't take long.
01:12:04with 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,
01:12:31as soon as he clocks out at night,
01:12:33his trail just goes cold.
01:12:35I've been tailing him the whole way,
01:12:37but whenever I get near this old street,
01:12:40he just vanishes into thin air.
01:12:42I can't find a single trace.
01:12:47The moment he joined the Spirit Suppression Bureau,
01:12:50he immediately used A-Class Clearance
01:12:52to dig into Spirit Suppression Project Number Nine.
01:12:55With 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?
01:13:10One, two, three,
01:13:14eleven, twelve,
01:13:19including this shattered one.
01:13:20That makes thirteen statues.
01:13:23The files spell it out.
01:13:24Fourteen Spirit Suppressors.
01:13:26Body is the pact.
01:13:27But the fourteenth person,
01:13:29who are they?
01:13:30Where do they go?
01:13:50And they still have the nerve
01:13:52to cause trouble.
01:13:56One, two, three,
01:14:00one, two, three,
01:14:19two, three,
01:14:22two, one,
01:14:22one, two,
01:14:26two,
01:14:30one.

01:16:33speed up the repairs we're running out of time
01:16:36Something's off.
01:16:38Those notes that popped up on the museum night shift rules earlier
01:16:41were 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.
01:16:50It looks like it was written in blood.
01:16:53What the hell are you?
01:16:59Damn!
01:17:03This book is actually alive.
01:17:06It can even understand me and answer my questions.
01:17:16Since you can talk.
01:17:18Alright then.
01:17:19Let me ask you.
01:17:20Who exactly created you?
01:17:28Someone who wanted those who came after to survive.
01:17:33Then tell me.
01:17:34What exactly is this museum?
01:17:36Who's buried underneath?
01:17:38The 14th Guardian.
01:17:39And where are they?
01:17:45Galaska.
01:17:46Who is she?
01:17:47Do you mean Secretary Sue?
01:17:51Hey!
01:17:51Don't play dead on me!
01:17:53Is she Secretary Sue or not?
01:17:55Why do we have to keep restoring the artifacts?
01:17:57Spit it out, will you?
01:18:00Hey!
01:18:01The Seer's death tomb.
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.
01:18:22Fine.
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.
01:18:45What is it?
01:18:46I brought two back of the artifacts the museum lost.
01:18:50A 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.
01:19:00So, 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 fifty 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!
01:19:40I'm being underestimated.
01:19:42She 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.
01:19:53You tell me.
01:19:55Should I call this thing Museum Night Shift Rules or the Seer's Death Tone?
01:20:04You...
01:20:04You actually talked to it?
01:20:06What did it say to you?
01:20:08It 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.
01:20:19I 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.
01:20:59Haven'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?
01:21:53But 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.
01:22:36Is there a reason for that?
01:22:39Because the layout of these five galleries follows the Supreme Taoist Formation,
01:22:44the charts of the true forms of the Five Peaks,
01:22:47to the letter, the museum itself,
01:22:49is a massive heaven-sealing grander wave.
01:23:20How are you ears and poderfully think about it?
01:24:21Keeping the countless eldritch entities in the museum firmly suppressed.
01:24:30Lin Shu.
01:24:32Now you know everything.
01:24:34The Guardian's power is running out.
01:24:36This array won't hold much longer.
01:24:41So the previous ruins are scrapped.
01:24:43Starting tonight, you're no longer fixing just one artifact a day.
01:24:48Instead, at least ten a day.
01:24:51Ten a day?
01:24:53Damn, that's freaking risking my life!
01:24:55You'll rip me to shreds!
01:24:56Don't worry.
01:24:57I and all the Guardians, even if it costs us our last reserves, and even this museum itself, will do
01:25:03everything to protect you.
01:25:05And help you.
01:25:06Lin Shu.
01:25:07We're out of time.
01:25:08That person is about to arrive.
01:25:09You have to give it everything.
01:25:11Move as fast as you can.
01:25:12Finish restoring as soon as possible every artifact in this museum.
01:25:17Only by restoring non-stop can you keep getting stronger.
01:25:20Until you fully inherit the legacy power of all twelve Guardian statues and become the strongest spirit suppressor alive,
01:25:28only then can you take their place and end this century-long nightmare for good.
01:25:41Ten a day, right?
01:25:43Fine.
01:25:45Since this whole mess landed on a mortician like me,
01:25:49I'll take everything in this tomb,
01:25:51one by one, and lay it all to rest, nice and clean.
01:25:57The End.
