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.
00:00:27Otherwise, besides a sky-high penalty fee, any other consequences are on you.
00:00:40What is this?
00:00:42The last night guard.
00:00:44A 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.
00:01:12One. The museum is open from midnight to 6 AM. 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.
00:01:30If you hear a woman crying, pretend you did not hear it.
00:01:34Do 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.
00:02:09I'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 an S class Eldritch
00:05:16entity turns to ash. What 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 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 Five 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 won 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?
00:08:33You'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.
00:09:04For every artifact you restore, I'll add 100,000 to your restoration fee.
00:09:10100,000? Per piece? Secretary Su, that's awesome! Should've just said you'll pay.
00:09:15Problem solved. We can work this out. If that's the case, don't worry.
00:09:19As long as the money's right, I can take every artifact in your museum and fix them all up.
00:09:25Guaranteed, the place will look brand new. Brand new!
00:09:40100,000 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.
00:10:24Who the heck did this?
00:10:27Secretary Su. No, that can't be it.
00:10:29She was around me all day, in heels, staring over my shoulder, like a supervisor breathing down my neck.
00:10:34She 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.
00:10:55But I also need to beef up patrols.
00:10:58Whoever did it, you'd better 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.
00:12:23What the hell?
00:12:25Where are my tools? Where's that big pile of tools? They 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 same person.
00:13:03Alright. I'll check the cameras. That'll make it crystal clear.
00:13:14Rule six. Before you restore an artifact, make sure you check how the nearby artifacts react.
00:13:24Who's trying to spook me again? I'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.
00:13:34Oh crap.
00:13:35What? A 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? The 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 one.
00:14:18I 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 two.
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 three.
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. A hefty fee.
00:14:53Day four.
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'm becoming part of it.
00:15:19If this diary is right, those white porcelain shards at the front desk were actually the last guard?
00:15:25Put that way, it 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.
00:15:38I even touched the mirror with my fingers.
00:15:40Why am I totally fine?
00:15:42Who?
00:15:43Who?
00:15:49Who?
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 to you.
00:16:20It react.
00:16:28Whatever.
00:16:29I'll fix this bronze mirror first today.
00:16:45Guess I was overthinking.
00:16:47I can't believe I fell for the nonsense in the museum night shift rules.
00:16:54DAS Pokemon.
00:17:10They found NINquetlons in the museum.
00:17:10Tentos in the museum.
00:17:10And, in the meantime, make sure the簡單 will examine you all because of Chris Charles Charles Charles Charles Charles.
00:17:14From the natureатуge, they will find anything for us.
00:17:14They won't be able to tell your bakayım.
00:17:14And I got confused at all.
00:17:15I'm thinking even though they will be解決 or професс shifted or whatever the religiousaining or
00:17:16When he feels like, put me in, he went as a chemical reaction to something burger,
00:17:16into one anlat I satôt, and got no say, Roxanne,
00:17:17to my mother and työ.
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, 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.
00:20:12Finally, they stopped.
00:20:40Too bad.
00:20:43All broken.
00:20:50Lou, buy Duan.
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.
00:21:45Looks like you figured it out.
00:21:47This isn't a normal museum, is it?
00:21:49Those busted artifacts move.
00:21:50They steal stuff.
00:21:51They 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, if 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.
00:22:44They're still wary.
00:22:45But if you leave, they'll follow you out.
00:22:49You quit trying to spook me with that.
00:22:51Fine.
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
00:23:18this place is actually haunted.
00:23:23Mr. 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.
00:23:37Tonight, good luck.
00:23:45Rule 7.
00:23:46The Guardian's Gallery is the only safe zone.
00:23:49Not 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, I 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 it 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, I'll make you a new one myself.
00:25:32We did it.
00:25:57Here it comes.
00:26:14Wait for it.
00:26:38Alright, you want the head, right?
00:26:40The original's gone, but I made you one that's exactly the same.
00:26:50The original's gone.
00:26:54The original's gone.
00:26:59The original's gone.
00:27:01The original's gone.
00:27:12The original's gone.
00:27:13The original's gone.
00:27:14The original's gone.

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
00:36:56and they contain that bronze head
00:36:58then in their internal archives there must be intel on private museum number nine
00:37:01and lubaidwan

00:37:05we can definitely get some intel on that museum

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
00:37:55does this count?
00:38:04My brother shoe
00:38:06you really have a special ability?
00:38:10daddy
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
00:38:39What the heck is this Spirit Suppression Bureau exam about?
00:38:48Welcome to the Spirit Suppression Bureau tryouts
00:38:51I'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
00:38:59The strong stay, the weak get cut
00:39:03See that bell?
00:39:04Inside, there's an A-class eldritch entity trapped
00:39:07Codename, 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
00:39:18During 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, you can be certified directly as a full C-class Spirit Warden
00:39:39If someone performs exceptionally and can withstand B-class eldritch aura, they can be certified straight as a B-class
00:39:46Spirit Warden
00:39:48Deputy Captain, can I ask something?
00:39:51What rank of Spirit Warden are you?
00:39:53Our Deputy Captain By G 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, if 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
00:40:14From the sound of it, A-class is pretty much the ceiling, the 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
00:41:33Open it to C-class
00:41:49I saw it
00:41:50There are faces in there
00:41:52So many faces
00:41:54Get out
00:41:55Get out of my head
00:41:56Don't eat me
00:41:58Don't eat me
00:42:11That's as far as you can go
00:42:13Hurry, get out
00:42:14Don't hold me up
00:42:15I'm taking on a higher difficulty
00:42:17Set the difficulty straight to B-class
00:42:21Take 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?
00:42:38With me here, nothing will go wrong
00:42:50Give me your face
00:42:52Give me your face
00:42:52Your face is in perfect shape
00:42:53Let me have a bite
00:42:55I'm starving
00:43:12My face
00:43:13My face
00:43:14My face got torn off
00:43:17That newbie really doesn't know their place
00:43:19C-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
00:43:31Look at that rookie
00:43:32Quick
00:43:52Oh no
00:43:53The seal has been broken
00:43:54It's going after the rookie
00:43:56Everyone fall back
00:44:18Get out of the way
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!
00:44:53Get back
00:44:54Get back
00:45:16Get back
00:45:35Oh, my God.
00:45:57So, that's an A-Class Eldritch Entity, the Face Eater, and a rookie blew both the bell and the entity
00:46:02to bits.
00:46:05With just one hit.
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.
00:47:06Starting 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, more like you took it straight from an Eldritch Entity.
00:47:28What do you mean?
00:47:28In our world, there's a hard rule.
00:47:31The 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.
00:47:42It goes straight to whoever killed it.
00:47:48Eldritch Power doesn't vanish, it 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.
00:48:29I 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.
00:49:09Welcome 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.
00:49:31Energy levels are spiking. It has exceeded the A-class threshold.
00:49:35Pull up the on-site feed now.
00:49:42Tentative code name.
00:49:44Rust-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.
00:49:59Have her lead the Special Operations Unit.
00:50:00Head 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.
00:50:29On 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.
00:50:58I get ready to fight.
00:51:15Fire em up!
00:51:32Get back!
00:51:34Got it!
00:51:40Strike!
00:52:08Linshu, don't take it head-on!
00:52:10It 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.
00:52:29He, 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 freaking rookie!
00:53:19Why do I feel like-
00:53:23He's even more vicious than an Eldritch entity.
00:53:34Still snarling.
00:54:03Shattered!
00:54:03Shattered!
00:54:05What's that?
00:54:26The smith, Lubai Duan.
00:54:33Lubai Duan.
00:54:36That Guardian Bronze statue, the A-Class Eldritch entity in this underground waterway, what exactly does it have to do
00:54:44with him?
00:54:52It's Lubai Duan again.
00:54:55Captain Bai, you know Lubai Duan?
00:54:58Come back to headquarters with me. You'll see when we get there.
00:55:20Check this out.
00:55:29This is the head from Fatty Wang's photo. It's exactly like the one I sculpted.
00:55:38I had no idea what the headless bronze figurine's original head looked like. Is that a coincidence or what?
00:55:45What's wrong? Have you seen this before?
00:55:48No, no. I 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. Same as that
00:56:01A-Class Iron Centipede just now. On its body the same name is carved as well.
00:56:09Captain Bai, who exactly is this Lubai Duan?
00:56:14According to the Spirit Suppression Bureau, the only public info we can find for now, Lubai Duan was a remarkable
00:56:20figure active in the Republican era. Rumor has it he was a master craftsman. With hands said to bend yin
00:56:27and yang, bringing dead objects to life. However, his life story and how he died, these key records are all
00:56:34locked down.
00:56:34Locked 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 Lubai Duan has been
00:56:43filed under 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 setup in the early years after the founding. I've already asked the
00:56:58head office in the capital for partial access.
00:57:00But whether it's the A-Class Rust-Eaton Iron Centipede, or this Bronze Head, they clearly both trace back to
00:57:06Lubai Duan, and are inseparable from him. Either way, we need to move fast to dig into everything about Lubai
00:57:11Duan and Spirit Suppression Project No. 9.
00:57:14Approval process. It'll probably take a few days. Lin Xu, I know you're in a rush, but it's extremely complicated.
00:57:21Just hang tight for a few days. Once the paperwork comes through, I'll let you know right away.
00:57:34Private Museum No. 9. Spirit Suppression Project No. 9. They both have No. 9 in the name. And both are
00:57:42tied to Lubai Duan. There are countless connections. Could it be, that one full of broken eldritch artifacts Private Museum
00:57:48No. 9 has another identity too?
00:57:50Lin Xu, did you hear me?
00:57:57Okay, I'll wait.
00:58:02Okay, I'll wait.
00:58:15one more artifact first thing tomorrow i'll threaten to stop the restoration and i gotta
00:58:20make secretary sue tell the truth if she dares to pull that grandma from a hundred years ago
00:58:26nonsense on me again i'm freaking done with this job
00:58:53last
00:58:56figures 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
00:59:07something in the museum that's just a tiny display become over 10 meters long outside the stuff in
00:59:13this 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
00:59:32one two three
00:59:41ten
00:59:55over 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
01:00:36let's fix it tonight
01:00:36pretend you didn't hear it i'm good at that
01:00:50can you see me rule number one for morticians never get distracted on the job why are you
01:00:58ignoring me are you ignoring me can you help me answer me
01:01:12oh
01:01:13oh
01:01:14all set
01:01:26i hear it these artifacts actually feel alive there's faint breathing
01:01:38oh
01:01:39who who's sighing
01:01:45why did i just feel like the museum was sighing
01:01:54this damn museum not only does every artifact move could it be
01:02:00even the building itself even the building itself is alive too
01:02:08the
01:02:21secretary sue i've restored another artifact
01:02:25Much appreciated.
01:02:28The 1 million restoration fee will be transferred as agreed to your card shortly.
01:02:34You'll get every cent.
01:02:36But it's not just about the money.
01:02:38Per our deal, you 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
01:02:52take on another repair for anything in this museum.
01:02:56What do you want to know?
01:02:58What's the real story behind this museum?
01:03:00And Spirit Suppression Project No. 9, how are they connected?
01:03:04You, how do you know about Spirit Suppression Project No. 9?
01:03:07That's not your concern.
01:03:08Now tell me the truth.
01:03:14Since you know the name I'll tell you was Private Museum, is actually a tomb.
01:03:21A tomb?
01:03:21Private Museum No. 9.
01:03:24It's No. 9.
01:03:25Spirit Suppression Project.
01:03:30A tomb?
01:03:32So whose tomb is it?
01:03:33And Lou Bidouan?
01:03:34Who exactly is Lou Bidouan?
01:03:36What role does he play?
01:03:38Mr. Lou?
01:03:40Because I lied to you last time, to make it up to you, I already answered two of your questions
01:03:45just now.
01:03:45What this museum is, and its connection to the Spirit Suppression Project.
01:03:51But just now, you fired off five more questions.
01:03:56Secretary Hsu!
01:03:57Don't try to game the system here!
01:03:59Rules are rules.
01:04:01If you want to know whose tomb this is, who Lou Bidouan is.
01:04:06Tonight, keep working on the repairs.
01:04:21Spirit Suppression Project.
01:04:22Spirit Suppression Project No. 9 is this museum, and this is a tomb.
01:04:39The 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 No. 9.
01:05:13But, the top brass got in touch with the participants from Spirit Suppression Project No. 9 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 No. 9?
01:05:32That was from the early PRC, maybe even the Republican era.
01:05:36If those participants are still alive, they'd be extremely old.
01:05:47Lived for over a hundred years.
01:05:50Still, not impossible.
01:05:51I happen to know as Secretary Sue.
01:05:53He's over a hundred?
01:05:58Vardy is the Pact.
01:06:02Self-sacrifice to the seal.
01:06:05Permanent suppression.
01:06:12What the heck does that even mean?
01:06:17Wait.
01:06:21Fourteen people.
01:06:23Why fourteen people?
01:06:26If the base depicts Lu Bai Duan as one of the guardian statues, then that's the one mentioned in the
01:06:32files, the Spirit Suppressor who chose self-sacrifice to the seal.
01:06:36But the museum only has twelve intact guardian statues, plus the one that collapsed into rubble, that makes only thirteen.
01:06:44Where did the fourteenth person go?
01:06:48Lin Xu.
01:06:49I suspect Lu Bai Duan is one of the fourteen participants in Spirit Suppression Project No. 9.
01:06:57Lately, so many high-level Eldritch Entities have emerged and they are all connected to him.
01:07:02This definitely means that Spirit Suppression Project No. 9 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 Lin Xu 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.
01:07:40Their status is unknown.
01:07:42You two are ordered to lead a team there for immediate rescue.
01:07:45Copy that.
01:08:00The magnetic field's a mess.
01:08:02The Eldritch Entity's jamming is too strong.
01:08:04The scanner can't locate the advance team.
01:08:09Turn off your flashlights.
01:08:11Let me handle it.
01:08:40The End
01:08:42about 300 meters out they're being swarmed crap I can't hold on
01:09:19Captain Bai, Lin Shu, you finally made it look at the wall
01:09:35wait no the patterns and flow of these rooms actually match the ones in the
01:09:39museums don't haul under those guardian statues the golden lines they stand on
01:09:43they come from the same source right here
01:10:01the size and shape of this groove match those in the museum the exhibit
01:10:04pedestals marked as missing exactly the same this isn't a tomb at all it's a
01:10:10museum that used to house artifacts
01:10:13Lin Shu, 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
01:10:32these are
01:10:39the damaged artifacts missing from the museum
01:10:41why are they scattered here this person is definitely deeply tied to private
01:10:46museum number nine maybe even to those artifacts lost overseas
01:10:52deputy captain these two items can I borrow them for a while borrow these two
01:10:56artifacts that's right I can really use them but I can't explain right now you did
01:11:02a great job on this rescue I can make the call and let you take these two items
01:11:09thanks
01:11:40perfectly back in place get the lost artifacts back return the originals
01:11:46how hard is that pretty much like restoring broken artifacts right called it a million per piece
01:11:51two would be two million most importantly secretary sue still has to answer two more questions as long as I
01:12:00recover or fix enough artifacts it won't take long with a full picture on private museum number nine and I'll
01:12:08get to the bottom of it
01:12:09you
01:12:20Gone again.
01:12:29This guy Lin Shue.
01:12:31As soon as he clocks out at night, his trail just goes cold.
01:12:35I've been tailing him the whole way, but whenever I get near this old street, he just vanishes into thin
01:12:41air.
01:12:42I can't find a single trace.
01:12:46The moment he joined the Spirit Suppression Bureau, he immediately used A-Class Clearance to dig into Spirit Suppression Project
01:12:54No. 9.
01:12:55With that kind of terrifying power, he somehow knows nothing about the Eldritch Rules.
01:13:01Lin Shue.
01:13:02Who the heck are you?
01:13:101, 2, 3, 11, 12, including this shattered one.
01:13:21That makes 13 statues.
01:13:23The files spell it out.
01:13:2414 Spirit Suppressors.
01:13:26Body is the pact.
01:13:27But the 14th person, who are they?
01:13:30Where do they go?
01:13:50And they still have the nerve to cause trouble.
01:13:5514 Spirit Suppress.
01:13:5615 Spirit Suppress.
01:14:0015 Spirit Suppress.
01:14:2415 Spirit Suppress.
01:14:25I get it.
01:14:26You, you Guardians keep burning through your bodies and power to suppress all the Eldritch
01:14:30artifacts in this museum? Your body's cracking because your power was drained dry? That collapsed
01:14:36statue might have died for good when its power ran out. Were you protecting me just now?
01:14:58Blacksmith Lu Bai Duan Martial Artist Zhou Tie Zhu, Potter Ni Wing. Weaver Yun Jin Yang Zither Master
01:15:05Zhuang Lixian Calligrapher Mo Chenkyo Stone Sculptor Shibuyu Lacquerer Zhu Xuming Jade Carver
01:15:11Bi Han Carpenter Ban Lusheng. Casting painting, carving, weaving, lacquer art, zither music,
01:15:19calligraphy, stone carving, jade carving, carpentry, pottery. Lu Bai Duan is a blacksmith. So the ones
01:15:27in this museum, the bronze artifacts were all cast by him. Wouldn't that mean? The ceramics were fired
01:15:33by the Potter Ni Wing. The painting on the wall is court ladies adorning their hair with flowers.
01:15:39It was painted by the painter Dan Kingzi. The blood weeping jade hairpin was carved by the jade
01:15:45carver Bi Hen. Then 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. To those who come after,
01:16:04do not mourn. We have no regrets.
01:16:32Speed 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.
01:16:49It 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.
01:17:17Alright 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?
01:17:38The 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?
01:17:54Why 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.
01:18:49A 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.
01:19:00So, 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.
01:19:54Should 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?
01:20:07It 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.
01:21:09I promise you.
01:21:10But 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 seal 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,
01:21:48why 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.
01:22:12Inside 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, to the letter,
01:22:47the museum itself, is a massive heaven-sealing grand array.
01:22:51If that is true, I have!"
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 rules 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?
01:24:52Damn!
01:24:53That'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
