Short filmTranscript
00:00:00I'm Sean Leng, a mortician who handles the bodies.
00:00:03But today, I landed a gig at a private museum as a part-time night guard.
00:00:09Why? Because the pay is insane. It's 10k a day.
00:00:16Why burn it?
00:00:17That way the agreement kicks in.
00:00:20Mr. Leng, welcome to private museum number 9.
00:00:25Listen up. You work a full month, then you get paid.
00:00:28If you don't, you will owe a crazy penalty.
00:00:32For whatever else happens, you're on your own.
00:00:42The hell is that?
00:00:44Our last night guard.
00:00:47No way a man could end up like that.
00:00:49What a heartless witch.
00:00:50So if she gets me to sign, then makes me quit to pocket the penalty fee?
00:00:54A death like that? Even I would be lost.
00:00:57Almost time. I gotta go.
00:01:03Hope you can last longer.
00:01:13Rule 1. Museum hours. Midnight to 6am. Don't show up during the day.
00:01:17Rule 2. If the eyes of the glazed funerary lion move, cover it with a red cloth.
00:01:22Do not lock eyes with it.
00:01:24Rule 3. The bleeding hairpin.
00:01:26If you hear a woman crying, act like you hear nothing.
00:01:30And don't answer any of her questions.
00:01:34Rule 4. The bronze warrior is missing its head.
00:01:38If it comes begging you for a head, toss it the mannequin head from your desk, then lock the office
00:01:42door.
00:01:45Rule 4. Who's trying to pull some ghostly crap?
00:02:00I'm a mortician.
00:02:02I've mended a corpse in pieces, all alone, in the dead of night.
00:02:06No death or horror can surprise me now.
00:02:10Rule 4. The bronze warrior is missing its head.
00:02:12Rule 4. The bronze warrior is missing its head.
00:02:14Rule 5. The bronze warrior is missing its head.
00:02:15What a dump of a museum.
00:02:16How come everything's all busted to hell?
00:02:26Boss, I'm on camera!
00:02:28I didn't break this junk, so don't touch my paycheck!
00:02:33This mess is giving me a headache.
00:02:37There comes my work ethic.
00:02:50No bearing, needs a heavy duty pin
00:03:20Pull him up!
00:03:23Pull him up!
00:03:44It's an S rank demon, no way we can handle that, evacuate the whole city now!
00:04:11Huh? Where does that come from?
00:04:14Still crooked, unstable, gotta lock it in with a bracket.
00:04:24No!
00:04:26No!
00:04:27No!
00:04:28No!
00:04:29No!
00:04:29No!
00:04:30No!
00:04:30No!
00:04:31No!
00:04:31No!
00:04:32No!
00:04:33No!
00:04:34No!
00:04:43No!
00:04:48Ah...
00:04:49Perfect!
00:04:50True art!
00:04:52If that were a corpse, the group would not be the only human being I could ever do.
00:04:54The grieving family would worship me.
00:05:07Pierced by a hundred yard spike, tied by chains from nowhere, an S-rank demon got wiped out just like
00:05:13that.
00:05:14What demon teamer are we looking at here?
00:05:17Captain White, the S-rank Octo Armasura, is it really just gone?
00:05:21Nope, the power of a demon never disappears, it transfers.
00:05:26Kind of like when you killed a mirror demon and got its power.
00:05:30The power of the S-rank Octo Armasura now belongs to whoever took it down.
00:05:36Who took out the Octo Armasura last night?
00:05:46Who is it?
00:05:47Sean, huge news, the city was locked down last night. They say it's because of this S-rank demon. The
00:05:51news is scrubbed everywhere. My buddy took this picture. Dope, huh?
00:05:57That's the statue I restored last night. Someone photoshopped it, blew it up and slapped on some lightning. Dumb Chuck.
00:06:02He'll believe any gossip. Stop buying such fake edited crap.
00:06:05I've been a mortician for years. Never once seen any real paranormal junk. Get your ass back to work.
00:06:11But come to think of it weird. After a night shift, I'm not even tired. If anything, I feel much
00:06:16stronger.
00:06:20Hold up. When did Rule 5 show up?
00:06:29Did someone find out I restored that statue? And sneak in last night to add this rule, just to pin
00:06:35it on me?
00:06:39Mr. Lang, you... you're still alive?
00:06:42Of course I'm alive. You think I'm a ghost?
00:06:46You made it through night one. Well done.
00:06:49Ms. Swan, the rules have won more than yesterday. Did you guys sneak that in?
00:06:55Stop asking. Just follow every single rule there is. No questions asked. That's how you last longer.
00:07:02Look, I restored that statue. And let me be clear. Long before my shift, that statue had been in pieces.
00:07:06I didn't break it before restoring it. Don't you dock my pay over this.
00:07:11What? You restored the Octo-Arma Sura? Quick, take me to it. Now.
00:07:28Huh? You actually restored the Octo-Arma Sura? No doubt. You see, I've had this weird ability. No matter what
00:07:35it misses, one look and I instantly know what it's supposed to look like whole.
00:07:46Over the years as a mortician, I have pieced together countless bodies and received real five-star feedback.
00:07:52Since you restored it, you're responsible for it.
00:07:58If it breaks again, whatever happens, you'll answer for it.
00:08:05Hey! No way! This thing was always trashed! I restored it! Why is it on me if it breaks again?
00:08:14Are you looking for an excuse to dock my pay? And hey! Tell me this. I restored it. What's in
00:08:23it for me?
00:08:24You've gotten the reward.
00:08:28What reward? I got nothing. Pretty women are the best liars. Is she trying to score something for nothing?
00:08:41Alright. You'll keep the reward you've gotten. And as the boss says, for every artifact you restore, I'll throw in
00:08:48an extra 100k.
00:08:50100k per piece? Ms. Swan, now you're talking! You could've just said you'd pay! You've got a deal! Problem solved!
00:08:58Deal! Deal! Being paid, I can restore every single artifact in this whole museum! I'll make them all shine like
00:09:04new!
00:09:19100k per piece! 10 pieces? A million! Yeah! Jackpot!
00:09:30Here we go! Another night ship! On top of pulling guard duty, tonight I'll restore another artifact!
00:09:50Huh? What happened?
00:09:57Weird. These are not natural cracks. Someone hacked at it with a sword or an axe. Who the hell did
00:10:02this?
00:10:04Is it Mrs. Swan?
00:10:06Is it Mrs. Swan? Guess not.
00:10:07That woman spent all day breathing down my neck like a forewoman. She never got the chance.
00:10:18Screw it. I'll patch it up.
00:10:29Gonna restore one more piece tonight. Also, I need to step up patrols. Whoever did this, you're done.
00:10:48This is it. A small chip. Easy restore.
00:11:14Once this one's done, that's another 100k.
00:11:29A hundred grand. A hundred grand. A hundred grand.
00:11:54What the hell? Where are my tools? Where did my tools go? They walked off?
00:12:04Who the heck did this?
00:12:10Gotcha.
00:12:27Nobody here? The one who destroyed the Octo-Arm Asura might be just the creep who swiped my tools.
00:12:32Right. The camera. It tells all.
00:12:43Rule 6. Before restoring any artifact, always check how the others around it react.
00:12:53Who's playing ghosts now? So to restore one piece, I need permission from the others here?
00:12:58You're telling me those other artifacts stole my tools? Bullshit.
00:13:02No way some metal could come to life. Nah, I'm being played. When I find out who, you're done.
00:13:09Gotta pull up the cameras. Then the truth will come out.
00:13:23The hell? No signal?
00:13:29The cameras got messed with too?
00:13:38This is the last guard's diary.
00:13:42Day 1. I started as the night guard at this museum. Nothing happened the whole night. Easy money. Jackpot.
00:13:50Day 2. While on patrol, I accidentally found that some pieces had changed poses.
00:13:55The bronze warrior's arm was raised higher. The bejeweled lady was staring at me.
00:13:58Ah! They were not in those poses before!
00:14:01Day 3. I told Ms. Swan about it. She said it was all in my head, cause I had too
00:14:06much free time.
00:14:07I could go fix the broken artifacts if I feel bored during the night shift, and she'd pay me a
00:14:11fat bonus for that.
00:14:12Day 4. For the money, I started restoring the broken bronze mirror, but they don't want to be restored.
00:14:17That night, a bronze sword flew out of its display case. It whizzed past my scalp, almost stuck into my
00:14:23skull.
00:14:25I get it now. I shouldn't have restored that thing.
00:14:28I stared at that mirror. My fingers started hardening. It turned white, like porcelain.
00:14:34Aye, I'm becoming part of it.
00:14:36If what this diary says is true, that pile of porcelain shards I saw was really the last guard.
00:14:42I see. Everything clicks, even why my tools got stolen, but this is seriously nuts.
00:14:51Wait a minute. While I was restoring the same mirror, I had my face right in front of it.
00:14:55I also touched it. Why did nothing happen to me?
00:14:59Who's there?
00:15:01Who's there?
00:15:28Who the hell did this?
00:15:32Before restoring any artifact, always check how the others around it react.
00:15:43Screw it, I'm restoring this mirror anyway.
00:16:01Guess I was worried for nothing.
00:16:03Can't believe I bought those shitty rules.
00:16:08Screw it, I'm restoring this mirror.
00:16:35Those things really can move.
00:16:38Screw it, I'm restoring this mirror.
00:17:05Since when did I get reflexes this quick?
00:17:08And such strength?
00:17:09I'm practically Superman now.
00:17:11No wonder I felt super strong during the day.
00:17:13It wasn't in my head.
00:17:20What the hell is that thing doing?
00:17:22Throwing in the towel?
00:17:43Are you kidding me?
00:17:45What the hell is that thing doing?
00:18:13You're trying to kill me!
00:18:15I quit!
00:18:16Time to haul ass!
00:18:43What is this, a museum or a haunted house?
00:18:50They play dirty too?
00:18:52Well done!
00:19:10What the hell do you do?
00:19:20You?
00:19:23Phew, finally stopped.
00:19:52What a shame, they're all busted up.
00:20:03But, Hammer?
00:20:08You, you were smiling?
00:20:15Another creepy area.
00:20:16What a shitty museum so full of creepy trouble.
00:20:36No way!
00:20:37My wound healed up overnight.
00:20:40What crazy regeneration.
00:20:42Am I even human anymore?
00:20:55Perfect timing!
00:20:56Guess you figured it out.
00:20:58This isn't a normal museum, is it?
00:21:00Those artifacts freaking move!
00:21:02They steal!
00:21:03They swing swords at me!
00:21:05This isn't just a gig!
00:21:07I may die for this shit!
00:21:08I quit!
00:21:09I don't care how much you pay me!
00:21:10I'm done!
00:21:11You're quitting?
00:21:13Mr. Leng, breaking the contract means a 10 million dollar penalty.
00:21:1710 million?
00:21:18I could never make that much money!
00:21:20Fine!
00:21:21I'll just be a deadbeat!
00:21:22Better than getting killed here!
00:21:27You think you can just walk away now?
00:21:32You restored the Octo-Arma Shura.
00:21:35You saw it yourself.
00:21:37Those things do not want to be restored.
00:21:45If you stay here, they may hesitate to mess with you, but if you leave, they'll follow you right out
00:21:51the door.
00:21:55Huh?
00:22:00Stop bluffing with that crap!
00:22:03Fine, go ahead and leave.
00:22:05But, if you just stick around, starting tonight for every artifact you restore, your pay gets multiplied by 10.
00:22:14By 10?
00:22:15Before it was 100k per piece, and now?
00:22:18That's a million, right?
00:22:20Yep.
00:22:21I mean, I will do anything for that cash, but you have to tell me what the hell this museum
00:22:27is.
00:22:27Why does all that junk move on its own?
00:22:29Is this place haunted?
00:22:34Mr. Leng, you ask too many questions.
00:22:37At this museum, the truth costs more than anything else.
00:22:40You want answers?
00:22:42Fine.
00:22:42For every artifact you successfully restore, I'll answer one of your questions.
00:22:47Good luck.
00:22:48For tonight.
00:22:57Rule 7.
00:22:58You're safe only with the Guardians.
00:23:00Assume they like you.
00:23:02Another one just magically appears?
00:23:07The Guardians?
00:23:08So those huge bronze statues are called the Guardians?
00:23:10Then what are those moving things outside?
00:23:12They're cursed?
00:23:13Ghosts?
00:23:13Or maybe they are being suppressed?
00:23:18As for whether they like me, I hid there and didn't get kicked out.
00:23:22So I'm guessing yeah, if something creepy happens again tonight, I'll just go straight there.
00:23:26No idea how these rules keep showing up, but I gotta say, they tell the truth.
00:23:31Now I've got a backup plan.
00:23:32Gotta get to work.
00:23:34Rule 4.
00:23:35The bronze warrior is missing its head.
00:23:37If it comes begging you for a head, toss at the mannequin head from your desk.
00:23:40Then lock the office door.
00:23:42The headless bronze warrior.
00:23:45Should be an easy restore.
00:23:48That's the one.
00:23:50Back when I was a mortician, I got headless bodies from car wrecks.
00:23:54Still, I used plaster and clay and sculpted exact replicas.
00:24:16No original head?
00:24:18Then I'll make you a brand new one myself.
00:24:25No original head?
00:24:27No original head to party.
00:24:28And I have no idea.
00:24:33But understand this is what?
00:24:33No.
00:24:36What?
00:24:37Nailed it.
00:24:40What?
00:25:01Coming.
00:25:18Wait here.
00:25:42All right, you want to head, huh?
00:25:44The original one is gone, but I've made you an exact replica.
00:25:54What the heck?
00:26:07Perfect.
00:26:08One million, baby.
00:26:14What the hell?
00:26:15I'm burning.
00:26:25Team A's gone dark.
00:26:26Team B is shattered.
00:26:28Team C, all of Team C just flatlined.
00:26:34Where's my body?
00:26:42Give me your body.
00:27:01In the last 72 hours, the demonic invasion in town has tripled, and the most dangerous
00:27:06one, codename confirmed, Bronze Head.
00:27:08So far, HQ has lost three A-ranked Demon Tamers and seven B-ranked Demon Tamers.
00:27:14With just a head, it's likely S-rank strong.
00:27:17You bet it is.
00:27:18It's definitely an S-rank.
00:27:20Once it finds a body, it will be catastrophic.
00:27:30The target!
00:27:31It's gone!
00:27:33What?
00:27:33It's gone?
00:27:35How can it be?
00:27:37It's not hiding!
00:27:40We... we lost the Demon's Trace!
00:27:42Pull up the last feed!
00:27:48Body?
00:27:49Where's my body?
00:27:52It found a lead on its body!
00:28:00A relatively useful
00:28:01Morning!
00:28:05Sorry!
00:28:06Hi!
00:28:07Hi!

00:28:23house
00:28:23Is it... completely dead now?
00:28:37Bird Hammer? Who's that?
00:28:40The Forger.
00:28:44This S-Rank demon was crafted by someone with an intention.
00:28:48It can't be.
00:28:49Apart from the bronze head, that demon also has a body.
00:28:53And it's missing. Remember? That thing is at least S-Rank strong.
00:28:57Dig up everything you can on Bird Hammer.
00:28:59Track down the origin of this demon.
00:29:07I'm just a night guard. Why am I stuck cleaning the front desk too?
00:29:13What's this?
00:29:27Hold on. This woman.
00:29:31That's Ms. Swan.
00:29:33But this photo gotta be years old.
00:29:40The Olympic Games...
00:29:44Amsterdam...
00:29:46The Olympic Games Amsterdam?
00:29:48That's literally in 1928.
00:29:51Almost a century ago.
00:29:58If this is really Ms. Swan, then she's been alive for over a century?
00:30:21Miss Swan, morning.
00:30:24Time to pay up.
00:30:26Pay up?
00:30:27Yeah.
00:30:29I've restored the Headless Bronze Warrior.
00:30:34You restored the Headless Bronze Warrior?
00:30:37No, you didn't.
00:30:38The Octo Arma Sura was just cracked open.
00:30:41The pieces can be put together.
00:30:42But the head of that Bronze Warrior was totally gone.
00:30:45How could you fix that?
00:30:47Ha!
00:30:47Come on.
00:30:48Why the big whoop?
00:30:49Its head was missing.
00:30:50So I just made it a new one.
00:30:55Looks like...
00:30:56I was really right about you.
00:30:59Save the flattery.
00:31:04You did promise that every time I restore an artifact, you'll answer a question.
00:31:08So here's my question.
00:31:09Who is the person in this photo?
00:31:11Why does she look exactly like you?
00:31:19This photo was taken.
00:31:21Almost a hundred years ago.
00:31:24Well, she was my grandma.
00:31:26We've got good genes.
00:31:28I take after her.
00:31:29What's the big deal?
00:31:30The one that will hit your account on time.
00:31:32I've got things to do.
00:31:34Bye.
00:31:39Your grandma?
00:31:40Your grandma wore the same heels as you?
00:31:43Ms. Swan?
00:31:44The woman in that photo?
00:31:46Is you?
00:31:51A woman who has lived 100 years.
00:31:53And those busted and creepy artifacts.
00:31:56This museum is hiding something huge.
00:32:00Don't think she'll tell me the truth.
00:32:01I gotta dig into it.
00:32:07This museum's been around for ages.
00:32:09There must be something about it online.
00:32:21No results found?
00:32:23This is a museum in the downtown.
00:32:35Bingo!
00:32:37The eccentrics of the 1920s?
00:32:39Just the era I'm looking into.
00:32:47Son of a!
00:32:48I saw it clearly!
00:32:49It got wiped in one second!
00:32:56That's some exact blocking and deletion.
00:32:59Some serious force is covering up everything about this museum and Burt Hammer.
00:33:06I guess I'm not finding anything online.
00:33:09Gotta hit up Chuck for some leads.
00:33:11He's got connections.
00:33:13Full of juicy info.
00:33:24Sean!
00:33:25You've been ghosting everyone for days.
00:33:28You even turned down the mortician gigs.
00:33:30What kind of business are you in now?
00:33:36I got a night shift side job.
00:33:38Chuck.
00:33:39Take my advice.
00:33:41Some things are better left unknown.
00:33:44Fuck!
00:33:44Why all the secrecy?
00:33:47Hey, listen.
00:33:49Remember the photo of the Octo Armasura?
00:33:52Did you photoshop it?
00:33:54Sean!
00:33:55Make fun of my weight as you want.
00:33:56But show some respect for my intel.
00:33:58That photo's the real deal.
00:34:04Sean, check this out.
00:34:06It's a demon.
00:34:07This pic just got dropped.
00:34:09Got nuked from the internet right away.
00:34:10Wiped everywhere.
00:34:11But I grabbed a screenshot.
00:34:13I was so quick!
00:34:22Wait.
00:34:24Isn't that the head I sculpted last night?
00:34:26For the headless bronze warrior?
00:34:28That's just the head.
00:34:33Slack-jawed, huh?
00:34:35This bronze head was going around killing people, all the while crying for its body.
00:34:40Lots of people got killed.
00:34:41So, Miss Swan wasn't lying to me.
00:34:44Leaving the museum brings huge trouble.
00:34:46What happened next?
00:34:47Where did that thing go?
00:34:49See, you're clueless.
00:34:52The demon control division was on it.
00:34:55They've taken care of that head and taken it away.
00:35:00Demon control division?
00:35:04What is that?
00:35:07Sean, you came to the right guy, you know.
00:35:10The DCD is a top secret special official agency set up to handle the paranormal incidents
00:35:15that happen all over the country and can't be explained by science.
00:35:19Word is, there's been more and more demonic invasion.
00:35:22The DCD is short-staffed.
00:35:23They're recruiting talent nationwide.
00:35:28The DCD specializes in paranormal incidents, and they've taken that bronze head.
00:35:32In their internal archives, there must be some info on Bird Hammer and Private Museum No. 9.
00:35:37If I get into the DCD, I'll be able to dig into the museum.
00:35:44Chuck, do you know anyone from the DCD?
00:35:46I want to join them.
00:35:51Holy crap! You lost your mind!
00:35:53That's a special official agency.
00:35:55Those guys exercise demons.
00:35:57They are legends.
00:35:57No way I'd know big shots like that.
00:35:59But you said they're recruiting talent.
00:36:02They are.
00:36:03But they've got crazy bars.
00:36:06If you prove you've got some special ability and pass their trials, they'll let you in by exception.
00:36:24Special abilities.
00:36:27Something like this.
00:36:35Huh? Sean! You! You have a special ability!
00:36:40Chuck, sign me up.
00:37:07The second I walked in, I felt breathless.
00:37:10What are the DCD's trials even about?

00:42:39Crap! That rookie's got no guts at all.
00:42:41He's frozen in fear by that A-ranked demon.
00:42:44He can't even dodge now.
00:42:45He's not moving.
00:42:46No way Captain White can save him now.
00:42:54Praise you, demon.

00:48:28We're facing a genuine A-Rank demon. Things are tougher than the trials you took. No buckling at the knees
00:48:33or quitting.
00:48:38Halt. It's right up ahead.
00:48:43Lock and load!
00:49:01Form up!

00:49:55That thing is too strong!
00:49:56Sean!
00:50:05Holy shit!
00:50:07A full strike from an A-Rank demon.
00:50:09Can't even scratch him.
00:50:13Is he...
00:50:15Is he...
00:50:16Is he really just a rookie?
00:50:26You done, Worm?
00:50:27Trying to run?
00:50:29My turn now.
00:50:30Yupyyy.
00:50:33Up you go!
00:50:35Up you go!
00:50:37Up you go!
00:50:46He's dead!
00:50:48Go!
00:50:51Now!
00:50:58So time to get worse
00:51:02No way that guy is a rookie.
00:51:05I think he's even.
00:51:09More vicious than a demon.
00:51:20How dare you snarl at me.
00:51:48Shatter!
00:51:50Shatter!
00:52:13Forged by Burt Hammer.
00:52:19Burt Hammer?
00:52:22The bronze statue of a guardian.
00:52:25What does it have to do with this A-rank demon thing?
00:52:35Burt Hammer again?
00:52:38Captain White.
00:52:39You know Burt Hammer?
00:52:41Let's head back to HQ.
00:52:44Then you will know.
00:53:11The head from Chuck's photo.
00:53:13An exact match of the one I made.
00:53:19And I never even saw the original head of that bronze warrior.
00:53:23Is this a coincidence or what?
00:53:25You okay?
00:53:26You've seen this before?
00:53:28Ah, nope.
00:53:29But this head really gives me the creeps.
00:53:34This is an S-rank demon KO'd by some mysterious demon tamer.
00:53:38Just like that A-rank centipede.
00:53:41It's got the name on it.
00:53:42The name of Burt Hammer.
00:53:46Captain White.
00:53:48Who is Burt Hammer anyway?
00:53:51According to the external intel we found.
00:53:53Burt Hammer was a legendary figure back in the 1920s.
00:53:57It's said that he was a legendary craftsman.
00:54:00With hands that could work magic and breathe spirit into dead things.
00:54:04However, when it comes to his life story and how he died.
00:54:08Records of that are all classified.
00:54:11Classified?
00:54:12Even you have no access?
00:54:13Not just me.
00:54:15Even the commander can't access them.
00:54:17All intel on Burt Hammer has been locked away in a top secret SSS rank file called
00:54:21Number 9 Project of Demon Control.
00:54:24What?
00:54:25Number 9 Project of Demon Control?
00:54:27Yeah.
00:54:27A level 1 secret from the earliest days.
00:54:30I've applied to 1HQ for partial access.
00:54:33Both the A-rank rusted centipede and this bronze head are tied to Burt Hammer in some way.
00:54:38Anyway, we should start digging into Burt Hammer and the Number 9 Project of Demon Control.
00:54:42The approval should take a few days.
00:54:44Sean, I know you're itching to go but this is a huge deal.
00:54:48Just hang tight for now.
00:54:49I'll hit you up the second the file lands.
00:55:00Private Museum Number 9.
00:55:02Number 9 Project of Demon Control.
00:55:04They both have Number 9 in their names.
00:55:06They are both related to Burt Hammer.
00:55:08No way.
00:55:10So that museum has another role other than a building full of creepy artifacts.
00:55:14Sean, you following?
00:55:21Got it.
00:55:22I'll be waiting.
00:55:38Tonight, I'm restoring one more artifact.
00:55:40First thing next morning, I'll threaten to stop my restoration work and make Ms. Swan spill the beans.
00:55:47If she feeds me that my grandma shit again, I'm done with this job.
00:56:14Missing?
00:56:18No kidding.
00:56:19It's Rusted Centipede.
00:56:20The demon.
00:56:21We met underground during the day.
00:56:23It really came from this museum.
00:56:25But it was a tiny little thing inside here.
00:56:28Why did it turn into a monster outside?
00:56:30The artifacts here move and attack, sure.
00:56:32But they're no match for the A-rank and S-rank demons outside in size and strengths.
00:56:36What the hell is going on?
00:56:461, 2, 3, 10.
00:56:581, 2, 3, 10.
00:57:10Over 30 empty display stands, each with a missing tag.
00:57:16So that means there are at least 30 more demons out there going around killing people,
00:57:21like Rusted Centipede did.
00:57:40I'll restore it tonight.
00:57:49Act like I hear nothing?
00:57:51Piece of cake.
00:58:04Can you see me?
00:58:07First rule of a mortician, never get distracted on the job.
00:58:11Why won't you answer me?
00:58:13Will you help me?
00:58:16Answer me!
00:58:18Answer me!
00:58:19Answer me!
00:58:20Answer me!
00:58:21Answer me!
00:58:27Answer me!
00:58:28Done!
00:58:41I heard it!
00:58:42These artifacts are like the living.
00:58:45They breathe faintly.
00:58:52who is it who's sighing
00:58:59was it the museum itself sighing
00:59:07every piece of crop here moves on its own don't tell me
00:59:12the building itself is also a living thing
00:59:33miss swan i restored another one for you

00:59:55and it's gotta be the honest truth so stop feeding me that my grandma shit don't ever lie to me

01:00:10and what is its connection to the number nine project of demon control
01:00:13how how do you know about that project
01:00:17none of your business now give me the truth
01:00:25you've heard of that project so i'll spill the beans

01:00:42a tomb

01:00:55i answered two of your questions
01:00:57i told you what this museum is
01:01:00and
01:01:00how it relates to the project
01:01:02but then you fired off five more questions
01:01:07miss swan
01:01:08don't try to game the system on me
01:01:10rules are rules

01:01:40who is buried here
01:01:51your requested file is finally approved
01:02:00finally got it
01:02:04what the hell
01:02:07when i first got it
01:02:09i felt shocked too
01:02:10this is an incomplete file
01:02:12in other words
01:02:13the file got heavily censored
01:02:15higher ups understand that we're investigating the surge of demons
01:02:18they know it's likely connected to the number nine project
01:02:22actually they went to talk with the participants of the project
01:02:25but those people were stubborn
01:02:27they don't want the file released to the dcd
01:02:30that's why the higher ups can only give us these heavily censored scraps
01:02:34participants of the number nine project
01:02:37this project dates back over 80 years
01:02:40how come the participants are still alive
01:02:42how old would they be now
01:02:51they've lived over a hundred years
01:02:53not like that's impossible
01:02:55i mean mrs swan's been around for over a century
01:03:01flesh is the vessel
01:03:06given to the seal
01:03:08the seal stands
01:03:15what does that even mean
01:03:20hold on
01:03:2414 people
01:03:26but why 14
01:03:29so the statue with the bird hammer tag
01:03:32was one of the demon tamers who died to set the seal
01:03:36but the museum only has 12 intact statues
01:03:39with the shattered one included
01:03:41that's only 13 altogether
01:03:43so where is the 14th one
01:03:48sean
01:03:49bird hammer might be
01:03:52one of the 14 participants of the project
01:03:54all the high level demons popping out lately are connected to him
01:03:58and that means the number nine project has gone off the rails
01:04:03we gotta find the real site of this project
01:04:06only by digging into that
01:04:08can we stop the demon crisis at the source
01:04:10i know where the site is
01:04:13but trust me
01:04:15that place is complicated as hell
01:04:21gene sean move out now
01:04:23an abnormal surge of demonic energy detected in a newly excavated suburban ancient tomb
01:04:28our recon team is trapped down there
01:04:31no idea if they're dead
01:04:32lead a team there and rescue them
01:04:34copy that
01:04:49crazy magnetic field
01:04:50strong interference
01:04:51the detector can't locate the recon team
01:04:57flashlight off
01:04:59allow me
01:05:27over there
01:05:29to the west

01:05:37crap
01:05:38i'm done
01:05:56captain white
01:05:57sean
01:05:58you finally made it
01:06:02check this wall
01:06:12no way
01:06:13the patterns of these rooms
01:06:14they look the same as the ones from those golden markings at the feet
01:06:17of the guardians
01:06:25over there
01:06:35the size and shape of this slot
01:06:37it's an exact match to the empty stands
01:06:39the ones with the tag missing
01:06:40this isn't some ancient tomb
01:06:42this is
01:06:42where the museum artifacts were kept
01:06:46sean look at this
01:06:51you locked me up for 50 years
01:06:53and now
01:06:54i'm gonna destroy everything you built
01:06:57what does that mean
01:07:04these are
01:07:11the lost broken artifacts from the museum
01:07:14why are they here
01:07:16whoever that is
01:07:17they're deeply connected with private museum number nine
01:07:20and even with those missing artifacts
01:07:24captain white
01:07:25can i borrow them for now
01:07:27you mean these artifacts
01:07:29yeah
01:07:30they're a huge help to me

01:07:33you were a huge help in this rescue
01:07:35so yeah
01:07:36you can take them
01:07:37thanks
01:07:39thanks
01:07:41thanks
01:08:10You're back home.
01:08:11I tracked down the lost artifacts and brought them home.
01:08:15That's something as tough as restoring a busted artifact.
01:08:18A million per piece.
01:08:20Two pieces, two million.
01:08:22Even better, Miss Swan will answer two more of my questions.
01:08:27I gotta find and restore more artifacts.
01:08:30Then it won't be long.
01:08:32Before I get to the bottom of this creepy private museum.
01:08:47I lost him again.
01:08:57The second his night shift ends, Sean goes completely missing.
01:09:03I've been tracking him step by step, but every time he gets near this block, he just vanishes into thin
01:09:08air.
01:09:09No traces, none, no matter what.
01:09:14The minute he joined the DCD, he pulled A rank clearance to dig into the number 9 project.
01:09:21He's got that terrifying power, yet he's ignorant of the demonic power rule.
01:09:27Sean, what are you really?
01:09:35One, two, three, eleven, twelve.
01:09:45This smashed one included that makes 13 statues in total.
01:09:49But it was 14 demon tamers, giving away their flesh, as the vessels.
01:09:54The 14th one.
01:09:56Who is it really?
01:09:57Where'd it go?
01:10:17Asking for trouble, Scam?
01:10:19The 14th one.
01:10:23The 14th one.
01:10:27The 14th one.
01:10:31The 15th one.
01:10:33The 15th one.
01:10:40The 15th one.
01:10:4410cio.
01:10:44The 15th one.
01:10:44He's beaten to the
01:10:44and the 3rd one.
01:10:46The 14th one.
01:10:47The 15th one.
01:10:47That's where it goes.
01:10:48The 15th one.
01:10:51I get it now.
01:10:53Hey you, the Guardians.
01:10:56You've been burning through your life force to suppress the demonic artifacts here.
01:11:00Your bodies are cracking, because your power's been drained.
01:11:02And that collapsed statue?
01:11:04Maybe it died from running out of power.
01:11:08Was that you protecting me just now?
01:11:30I don't know.
01:11:48Arts, music, calligraphy, stone arts, jade arts, culpentry, pottery.
01:11:53Birdhammer was a smith, so all the bronzes here were cast by him.
01:11:57Does that mean those porcelains were made by Potter?
01:12:02And the Bejeweled Lady?
01:12:04It was a painting by Bosich the artist?
01:12:06The bleeding hairpin was made by Jade, the engraver.
01:12:11So every single artifact in this museum was made by the Guardians?
01:12:23I chose to become a statue, to guard this place for a century, the age to come.
01:12:28Do not grieve.
01:12:30We have no regrets.
01:12:57Work faster.
01:12:58The clock is ticking.
01:13:00Something's off.
01:13:02The extra rules that popped up out of nowhere were all like type text.
01:13:06But these sentences?
01:13:07So sloppy and rushed.
01:13:09Clearly handwritten.
01:13:10And the color's different.
01:13:12This looks like blood.
01:13:14What the hell are you?
01:13:24This handbook is a living thing.
01:13:27And it can answer my questions?
01:13:28And it can answer my questions?
01:13:36So we get to communicate?
01:13:48The one who wanted the future age to last.
01:13:53Then tell me.
01:13:54What is this museum really?
01:13:56Who's buried underneath?
01:13:58And the 14th Guardian?
01:13:59Where are they?
01:14:04Go ask her.
01:14:05Who do you mean?
01:14:06Could it be Miss Swan?
01:14:11Hey!
01:14:12Quit playing possum!
01:14:13Do you mean Miss Swan or not?
01:14:14Why do I have to keep restoring artifacts?
01:14:17Spit it out already!
01:14:20Hey!
01:14:21Codex of the Oracle.
01:14:23Hey buddy!
01:14:24You there?
01:14:29Damn it!
01:14:31Don't you bail on me now!
01:14:40I'll go ask her then.
01:14:42Fine.
01:14:43I'll take it that it meant Miss Swan.
01:14:51Miss Swan, morning.
01:14:53Looks like you didn't restore any artifact last night.
01:14:58True, I didn't restore any broken ones.
01:15:00But I did something harder than restoration.
01:15:03Oh?
01:15:04What is it?
01:15:05I brought back two artifacts that went missing.
01:15:08A bronze vessel and half a jade pendant.
01:15:11I've put them back on their display stands.
01:15:13Come again?
01:15:14For real?
01:15:15You found the artifacts we lost?
01:15:17While on that,
01:15:19did you run into that person?
01:15:21That person?
01:15:23Which person is she asking about?
01:15:28The one who carved those words on the hidden chamber's wall?
01:15:31Even Miss Swan, a slick old timer, is nervous.
01:15:34That person's gotta be a true nightmare.
01:15:36Yeah, I did.
01:15:40I was asked to pass you a message.
01:15:42You locked him up for 50 years.
01:15:44And now, he's gonna destroy everything you built.
01:15:49Mr. Lang, I don't know where you heard that.
01:15:51But if you really ran into that person,
01:15:54given your poor skills,
01:15:55no way you'd make it back alive.
01:15:57Damn it!
01:15:58She's belittling me.
01:15:59She has no idea how strong I am now.
01:16:03Alright.
01:16:04I won't beat around the bush.
01:16:10Miss Swan, tell me.
01:16:12Should I call this thing a handbook?
01:16:14Or should I call it Codex of the Oracle?
01:16:19What?
01:16:20You talked with it?
01:16:22What did it tell you?
01:16:23It said I gotta stay alive and restore more.
01:16:25It also said that if I have questions,
01:16:28I should ask you.
01:16:31Miss Swan, let's be honest with each other.
01:16:33I know what you want.
01:16:34You want me to keep restoring artifacts in this museum?
01:16:37I can agree to that,
01:16:38and keep doing this life-threatening shit.
01:16:40Only if you answer all my questions.
01:16:41No more secrets or lies.
01:16:50That thing is willing to guide you.
01:16:52Guess it's really accepted you.
01:16:56Alright, deal.
01:16:57Ask me anything.
01:16:58If I know it, I'll tell you.
01:17:00Question one.
01:17:01All those broken artifacts in the museum,
01:17:04what are they?
01:17:05And also,
01:17:06why is it that every time I restore them,
01:17:08I end up getting some crazy power boost?
01:17:11Mr. Lang, you've joined the DCD, haven't you?
01:17:14By now you should have memorized that definite rule of power.
01:17:17The power of a demon never disappears.
01:17:20It transfers.
01:17:21Right.
01:17:21In this world, demons are immortal.
01:17:24The only way to truly wipe one out is to have it sealed.
01:17:27When you're restoring the broken artifacts,
01:17:29you're actually having them resealed.
01:17:32Having them sealed is the same as having them killed.
01:17:35That means,
01:17:37the moment you have an artifact restored and resealed again,
01:17:40its power gets pulled out of it.
01:17:42And then,
01:17:43the power transfers right into you.
01:17:45That's why you keep getting stronger.
01:17:50I see.
01:17:52Question two.
01:17:53All those busted artifacts are freaking terrifying demons.
01:17:58And the ones that got lost out there
01:18:00have world-shattering power.
01:18:03But why,
01:18:03inside the museum,
01:18:04are they stuck as tiny lifeless objects?
01:18:07Most of them can barely even twitch.
01:18:09And also,
01:18:10even I myself feel so much weaker whenever I'm inside here.
01:18:13When I'm here,
01:18:14I can't access most of my power.
01:18:16Actually,
01:18:17that's the whole reason
01:18:18Private Museum No. 9 was built.
01:18:21Inside the museum,
01:18:23every single demonic power
01:18:25must be absolutely suppressed.
01:18:28Get suppressed inside here?
01:18:31Sean,
01:18:32have you thought about this?
01:18:33Why are there only five main sections here?
01:18:37Bronze arts,
01:18:38jade arts,
01:18:39calligraphy and paintings,
01:18:41ceramics,
01:18:42terracotta arts.
01:18:43Any story behind that?
01:18:46These five exhibition areas
01:18:48were built according to
01:18:49the toughest formation there is,
01:18:52the formation of five celestial peaks.
01:18:54This museum itself,
01:18:56it's one massive god-tier magical formation.
01:19:11So,
01:19:31I'm looking at this museum.
01:20:15From the statues of the Guardians, this whole formation gets its power.
01:20:20For a century, they've been stuck here as living bronze and stone.
01:20:24They've been burning themselves out to keep the formation running.
01:20:28So that the thousands of demons here could stay suppressed.
01:20:37Sean, now you know everything.
01:20:40The Guardian's power is almost drained dry.
01:20:42The formation will soon fall.
01:20:47So listen, forget our old rules.
01:20:50Starting tonight, you're not restoring just one artifact a day.
01:20:53Instead, you'll restore at least ten pieces every day.
01:20:58Ten pieces a day?
01:20:59Holy crap, that's a death sentence!
01:21:02The demons will tear me to shreds!
01:21:03Don't worry.
01:21:05You've got the Guardians in here.
01:21:07You'll burn our last ounce of strength.
01:21:09And even sacrifice the museum just to protect you.
01:21:12And to help you.
01:21:14Sean, we're out of time.
01:21:15That person is coming.
01:21:16You must go all out now.
01:21:18Work as fast as you can.
01:21:20Restore every last artifact in this museum.
01:21:23Only by restoring them can you keep getting stronger.
01:21:25In the end, you must inherit the twelve Guardians' power.
01:21:29And become the strongest Demon Tamer alive.
01:21:32Only then can you take their place and end this everlasting nightmare.
01:21:45Ten pieces a day, huh?
01:21:47I'm in.
01:21:49I landed myself with this mess after all.
01:21:52As a mortician, I'll strip this tomb clean.
01:21:55I'll wipe the demons all out one by one.
