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.
00:01:04Hope you can last longer.
00:01:13Rule 1. Museum hours. Midnight to 6am. Don't show up during the day.
00:01:18Rule 2. If the eyes of the glazed funerary lion move, cover it with a red cloth.
00:01:22Do not lock eyes with it.
00:01:24Rule 3. The bleeding hairpin.
00:01:26If you hear a woman crying, act like you hear nothing.
00:01:30And don't answer any of her questions.
00:01:34Rule 4. The bronze warrior is missing its head.
00:01:38If it comes begging you for a head, toss it the mannequin head from your desk, then lock the office
00:01:42door.
00:01:47Rule 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.
00:02:13Rule 4. The bronze warrior is missing its head.
00:02:14Rule 5. What a dump of a museum.
00:02:16How come everything's all busted to hell?
00:02:26Boss, I'm on camera!
00:02:28I didn't break this junk, so don't touch my paycheck!
00:02:33This mess is giving me a headache.
00:02:37There comes my work ethic.
00:02:50No bearing, needs a heavy duty pin
00:03:09No bearing, needs a heavy duty pin
00:03:20Pull 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.
00:04:49Perfect. True art, if that were a corpse, the 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?
00:05:22Nope. The power of a demon never disappears. It transfers.
00:05:27Kind 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.
00:05:37Who took out the Octo Armasura last night?
00:05:46Who is it?
00:05:47Sean, huge news! The city was locked down last night!
00:05:50They say it's because of this S-rank demon! The news is scrubbed everywhere!
00:05:53My buddy took this picture! Dope! Huh?
00:05:57That's the statue I restored last night!
00:05:59Someone photoshopped it, blew it up, and slapped on some lightning!
00:06:02Dumb Chuck! He'll believe any gossip!
00:06:04Stop buying such fake edited crap!
00:06:05I've been a mortician for years, never once seen any real paranormal junk!
00:06:09Get 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!
00:06:21Hold up!
00:06:22When 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?
00:06:47You 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!
00:07:10What? You restored the Octo-Arma Sura? Quick, take me to it, now!
00:07:28Huh? You actually restored the Octo-Arma Sura?
00:07:31No doubt! You see, I've had this weird ability! No matter what it misses, one look and I instantly know
00:07:38what it's supposed to look like whole!
00:07:46Over the years as a mortician, I have pieced together countless bodies and received real 5-star feedback!
00:07:53Since you restored it, you're responsible for it!
00:07:59If it breaks again, whatever happens, you'll answer for it!
00:08:05Hey! No way! This thing was always trashed! I restored it! Why is it on me if it breaks again?
00:08:14Are you looking for an excuse to dock my pay?
00:08:19And hey! Tell me this! I restored it! What's in it for me?
00:08:25You've gotten the reward!
00:08:28What reward? I got nothing!
00:08:31Pretty women are the best liars!
00:08:33Is she trying to score something for nothing?
00:08:41Alright! You'll keep the reward you've gotten!
00:08:45And as the boss says, for every artifact you restore, I'll throw in an extra 100k!
00:08:50100k per piece?
00:08:52Ms. Swan, now you're talking!
00:08:54You could've just said you'd pay!
00:08:56You've got a deal!
00:08:57Problem solved!
00:08:58Deal! Deal!
00:08:59Being paid, I can restore every single artifact in this whole museum!
00:09:03I'll make them all shine like new!
00:09:19100k per piece!
00:09:2010 pieces?
00:09:21A million!
00:09:21Yeah! Jackpot!
00:09:30Here we go! Another night ship!
00:09:33On top of pulling guard duty, tonight I'll restore another artifact!
00:09:51Huh?
00:09:52What happened?
00:09:57Weird! These are not natural cracks!
00:10:00Someone hacked at it with a sword or an axe!
00:10:01Who the hell did this?
00:10:04Is it Mrs. Swan?
00:10:06Guess not!
00:10:07That woman spent all day breathing down my neck like a forewoman!
00:10:10She never got the chance!
00:10:18Screw it! I'll patch it up!
00:10:29Gonna restore one more piece tonight!
00:10:32Also, I need to step up patrols!
00:10:34Whoever did this, you're done!
00:10:49This is it! A small chip! Easy restore!
00:10:53A small chip! Easy restore!
00:11:14Once this one's done, that's another 100k!
00:11:16Once this one's done, that's another 100k!
00:11:30100 grand!
00:11:31100 grand!
00:11:41100 grand!
00:11:42100 grand!
00:11:44100 grand!
00:11:54What the hell?
00:11:56Where are my tools?
00:11:58Where did my tools go?
00:12:00They walked off?
00:12:04Who the heck did this?
00:12:07Yeah!
00:12:11Gotcha!
00:12:27Nobody here?
00:12:28The one who destroyed the Octo-Arm Asura might be just the creep who swiped my tools!
00:12:33Right!
00:12:34The camera!
00:12:35It tells all!
00:12:44Rule 6!
00:12:45Rule 6!
00:12:45Before restoring any artifact, always check how the others around it react!
00:12:53Who's playing Ghost now?
00:12:54How?
00:12:54So to restore one piece?
00:12:56I need permission from the others here?
00:12:58You're telling me?
00:12:59Those other artifacts stole my tools?
00:13:01Bullshit!
00:13:02No way some metal could come to life!
00:13:05Nah! I'm being played!
00:13:06When I find out who, you're done!
00:13:09Gotta pull up the cameras!
00:13:10Then the truth will come out!
00:13:12Then the truth will come out!
00:13:23The hell?
00:13:24No signal?
00:13:29The cameras got messed with too?
00:13:38This is the last guard's diary!
00:13:42Day 1!
00:13:44I started as the night guard at this museum, nothing happened the whole night!
00:13:48Easy money!
00:13:49Jackpot!
00:13:50Day 2!
00:13:51While on patrol, I accidentally found that some pieces had changed poses!
00:13:55The bronze warrior's arm was raised higher!
00:13:57The bejeweled lady was staring at me!
00:13:58Ah!
00:13:59They were not in those poses before!
00:14:01Day 3!
00:14:03I told Ms. Swan about it!
00:14:04She said it was all in my head, cause I had too much 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!
00:14:13For 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!
00:14:20It whizzed past my scalp, almost stuck into my skull!
00:14:25I get it now!
00:14:26I shouldn't have restored that thing!
00:14:28I stared at that mirror!
00:14:29My fingers started hardening!
00:14:31It turned white!
00:14:32Like porcelain!
00:14:34Aye!
00:14:34I'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!
00:14:52While I was restoring the same mirror, I had my face right in front of it!
00:14:55I also touched it!
00:14:57Why did nothing happen to me?
00:15:00Who'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!
00:15:44I'm restoring this mirror anyway!
00:16:00I guess I was worried for nothing!
00:16:03Can't believe I bought those shitty rules!
00:16:29I wish I killed it!
00:16:30I you know, all this wheels.
00:16:34Beanc
00:16:35right!
00:16:35Those things really can move!
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?
00:18:10That hunk of junk is literally trying to kill me!
00:18:15I quit!
00:18:16Time to haul ass!
00:18:43What is this?
00:18:44A museum or a haunted house?
00:18:50They play dirty too?
00:19:05They play dirty too!
00:19:05They play dirty too!
00:19:12They play dirty too!
00:19:22They play dirty too!
00:19:23Phew!
00:19:24Finally stopped!
00:19:52What a shame!
00:19:54They're all busted up!
00:20:03But Hammer!
00:20:08You...
00:20:09You were smiling?
00:20:15Another creepy area?
00:20:16What a shitty museum!
00:20:18So full of creepy trouble!
00:20:36No way!
00:20:38My 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!
00:21:12You're quitting?
00:21:13Mr. Lang!
00:21:14Breaking 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 stay here, they may hesitate to
00:21:55mess with you, but if you leave, they'll follow you right out the door!
00:22:00Huh? Stop bluffing with that crap!
00:22:02Fine! Go ahead and leave!
00:22:05But, if you just stick around, starting tonight, for every artifact you restore, your pay gets multiplied by 10!
00:22:14By 10?
00:22:16Before it was 100k per piece!
00:22:17And 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? Is this place haunted?
00:22:33Mr. Lang, you ask too many questions!
00:22:37At this museum, the truth costs more than anything else!
00:22:41You want answers? Fine!
00:22:42For every artifact you successfully restore, I'll answer one of your questions!
00:22:47Good luck! For tonight!
00:22:57Rule 7. You're safe only with the Guardians. Assume they like you.
00:23:03Another one just magically appears?
00:23:07The Guardians? So those huge bronze statues are called the Guardians? Then what are those moving things outside? They're cursed?
00:23:13Ghosts? Or maybe they are being suppressed?
00:23:19As for whether they like me, I hid there and didn't get kicked out. So I'm guessing yeah, if something
00:23:23creepy 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. Gotta get to work.
00:23:35Rule 4. The Bronze Warrior is missing its head. If it comes begging you for a head, toss at the
00:23:39mannequin head from your desk, then lock the office door.
00:23:41Rule 8. The headless bronze warrior. Should be an easy restore.
00:23:48Rule 9. That's the one.
00:23:50Rule 9. Back when I was a mortician, I got headless bodies from car wrecks.
00:23:54Rule 10. Still, I used plaster and clay and sculpted exact replicas.
00:23:58Rule 9. 10. No!
00:24:16No original head?
00:24:18Then I'll make you a brand new one myself.
00:24:37Nailed it.
00:25:01Coming.

00:29:00Track down the origin of this demon.
00:29:07I'm just a night guard.
00:29:08Why am I stuck cleaning the front desk too?
00:29:12Hmm?
00:29:13What's this?
00:29:27Hold on.
00:29:29This woman.
00:29:31That's Ms. Swan.
00:29:32But this photo gotta be years old.
00:29:41The Olympic Games?
00:29:43Amsterdam?
00:29:46The Olympic Games Amsterdam?
00:29:48That's literally in 1928.
00:29:52Almost a century ago.
00:29:58If this is really Mrs. Swan,
00:30:00then she's been alive for over a century?
00:30:21Miss Swan.
00:30:23Morning.
00:30:24Time to pay up.
00:30:26Pay up?
00:30:28Yeah.
00:30:29I've restored the Headless Bronze Warrior.
00:30:35You restored the Headless Bronze Warrior?
00:30:37No, you didn't.
00:30:38The Octo Armasura was just cracked open.
00:30:41The pieces can be put together.
00:30:42But the head of that Bronze Warrior was totally gone.
00:30:45How could you fix that?
00:30:47Come on.
00:30:48Why the big whoop?
00:30:49Its head was missing.
00:30:50So I just made it a new one.
00:30:55Looks like I was really right about you.
00:31:00Save the flattery.
00:31:05You did promise that every time I restore an artifact,
00:31:07you'll answer a question.
00:31:08So here's my question.
00:31:10Who is the person in this photo?
00:31:11Why does she look exactly like you?
00:31:20This photo was taken.
00:31:21Almost a hundred years ago.
00:31:24Well, she was my grandma.
00:31:26We've got good genes.
00:31:27I 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?
00:31:41Your 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.
00:32:02I gotta dig into it.
00:32:07This museum's been around for ages.
00:32:10There must be something about it online.
00:32:21No results found?
00:32:24This is a museum in the downtown.
00:32:35Bingo.
00:32:36Bingo.
00:32:37The eccentrics of the 1920s?
00:32:39Just the era I'm looking into.
00:32:47Son of a...
00:32:48Son 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.
00:33:00He's 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.
00:33:31What kind of business are you in now?
00:33:36I got a night shift side job.
00:33:39Chuck.
00:33:40Take my advice.
00:33:41Some things are better left unknown.
00:33:44F-
00:33:44Why all the secrecy?
00:33:48Hey, listen.
00:33:49Remember the photo of the Octo Armassura?
00:33:52Did you Photoshop it?
00:33:54Sean.
00:33:55Make fun of my weight as you want.
00:33:56But show some respect for my intel.
00:33:59That photo's the real deal.
00:34:04Sean, check this out.
00:34:06It's a demon.
00:34:07This pic just got dropped.
00:34:09Got nuked from the internet right away.
00:34:11Wiped everywhere.
00:34:12But I grabbed a screenshot.
00:34:13I was so quick.
00:34:22Wait.
00:34:24Isn't that the head I sculpted last night?
00:34:26For the headless bronze warrior?
00:34:28That's just the head.
00:34:33Slack-jawed, huh?
00:34:35This bronze head was going around killing people.
00:34:38All the while crying for its body.
00:34:40Lots of people got killed.
00:34:42So Miss Swan wasn't lying to me.
00:34:44Leaving the museum brings huge trouble.
00:34:46What happened next?
00:34:47Where did that thing go?
00:34:49See, you're clueless.
00:34:52The demon control division was on it.
00:34:55They've taken care of that head and taken it away.
00:35:01Demon control division?
00:35:04What is that?
00:35:07Sean, you came to the right guy, you know.
00:35:09The DCD is a top secret special official agency set up to handle the paranormal incidents that happen all over
00:35:16the country and can't be explained by science.
00:35:18Word is, there's been more and more demonic invasion.
00:35:22The DCD is short-staffed.
00:35:24They'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?
00:35:47I 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.
00:35:58No way I'd know big shots like that.
00:36:00But you said they're recruiting talent.
00:36:02They are.
00:36:03But they've got crazy bars.
00:36:06If you prove you've got some special ability and pass their trials,
00:36:11they'll let you in by exception.
00:36:25Special abilities.
00:36:27Something like this.
00:36:36Huh?
00:36:36Sean, you?
00:36:37You have a special ability.
00:36:38Hey.
00:36:40Chuck, sign me up.
00:37:02Inside that bell, there's something alive staring at us.
00:37:07The second I walked in, I felt breathless.
00:37:10What are the DCD's trials even about?
00:37:18Thanks for joining the DCD's trials.
00:37:21I'm Jean White, the examiner and deputy captain of the DCD.
00:37:25Our recruitment standard is pretty simple.
00:37:27The strong stay, the weak out.
00:37:30You see that bell?
00:37:32Inside it is a trapped A-ranked demon.
00:37:35Codename, Face Eater.
00:37:39You gotta be kidding me.
00:37:40An A-ranked demon?
00:37:41That thing can wipe out half a city and they keep it in just a bell?
00:37:46Quiet.
00:37:47During the test, we will only break part of the seal and let out a tiny fraction of its energy.
00:37:52If you can withstand D-ranked demonic energy, you get to become a trainee demon tamer.
00:37:57If you can withstand C-ranked energy, you get to become a C-ranked demon tamer.
00:38:03If you do exceptionally well and withstand B-ranked energy, you get certified as a B-ranked demon tamer.
00:38:11No offense, ma'am, but what rank are you as a demon tamer?
00:38:15Captain White is an A-ranked demon tamer.
00:38:18Only a few people from the DCD have reached that level.
00:38:20As for you rookies, if you can handle D-ranked energy without pissing yourselves, that'd be a huge blessing.
00:38:31A-rank, huh?
00:38:32From how they put it, an A-rank is basically a top-tier badass.
00:38:42Wonder what level I can reach.
00:38:47The test starts now.
00:39:10My face!
00:39:13My face is killing me!
00:39:14My face is killing me!
00:39:16My face is killing me!
00:39:16My face is killing me!
00:39:36Guess I've got this test in the bag!
00:39:43Everyone knocks me!
00:39:44I don't know about what I'm saying!
00:39:44That insane?
00:39:46No ineffective noise.
00:39:46I every mother thinks I'm killing me!
00:39:47Keep going.
00:39:49Take it to C rank.
00:40:04I... I saw it! There are faces in there! So many faces!
00:40:09Get out! Get the hell out of my head!
00:40:12Don't eat me! Don't eat me!
00:40:28That's the best you can do!
00:40:30Now get the hell out! I'm going for something harder here!
00:40:34Take it straight to B rank!
00:40:38Take it straight to B rank!
00:40:42Are you sure?
00:40:44Damn sure!
00:40:51Captain White! B rank! Seriously?
00:40:53I've got it! Relax!
00:41:06Give me your face! Your face is so perfect!
00:41:09Let me have a bite!
00:41:10I'm so hungry!
00:41:27My face! My face got ripped off!
00:41:33That rookie is way too cocky! A B rank is way out of a C rank's league! We've been recruiting
00:41:37for years! Only a handful have passed the B rank trial straight up!
00:41:42Wait! Check that rookie out!
00:41:44Wait! Check that rookie out!
00:42:03Oh shit! The demon is out! It's after that guy!
00:42:06Let's go!
00:42:07Fall back!
00:42:09Number 3!
00:42:09Two!
00:42:10Two!
00:42:23Two!
00:42:28One!
00:42:32I don't feel any danger.
00:42:35I can probably take it.
00:42:39Crap! That rookie's got no guts at all.
00:42:41He's frozen in fear by that A-ranked demon.
00:42:44He can't even dodge now.
00:42:45He's not moving.
00:42:46No way Captain White can save him now.
00:42:54Praise you, demon.
00:43:02Get the hell back.
00:43:31Get the hell back.
00:44:04Holy shit.
00:44:07Face-eater, the A-ranked demon is gone.
00:44:09That rookie wasted it and crushed the bell.
00:44:13With just one freaking strike.
00:44:21Wait, is this really a test for rookies?
00:44:23He punched an A-ranked demon into oblivion?
00:44:29I haven't ever been this strong back in the museum.
00:44:43Sean, congrats.
00:44:46You passed the test.
00:44:48You're now one of us.
00:44:51The higher-ups of the DCD made a call.
00:44:54You're certified as an A-ranked demon tamer.
00:45:07A-ranked demon tamers are the absolute core muscles of the DCD.
00:45:11Starting today, you get top-tier pay and a fat bonus.
00:45:14Also, you may access all the intel and resources.
00:45:17Sweet.
00:45:18I think it paid off.
00:45:18With A-ranked clearance, I can finally dig into private museum number nine.
00:45:23Sean, I gotta warn you about this.
00:45:25Your power feels weird.
00:45:27It isn't anything you trained for.
00:45:30It's like something you reap from a demon.
00:45:33What do you mean?
00:45:34There's a definite rule about demons.
00:45:37A demon's power never disappears.
00:45:39It transfers.
00:45:40Even when an S-ranked demon gets put down.
00:45:43Its power doesn't vanish.
00:45:45It jumps straight to the demon's killer.
00:45:52A demon's power never disappears.
00:45:54It transfers.
00:45:57You just killed Face Eater, the A-ranked demon.
00:46:00By the said rule, you've now inherited its power.
00:46:02And you'd gotten some power before that.
00:46:05According to our assessment, you're at least a top A-ranked.
00:46:10Kill some demon and you get its power?
00:46:17Ever since I restored the Octawar Masura and the Bronze Warrior, my body has started mutating.
00:46:23So the Octawar Masura and that Bronze Warrior are both demons.
00:46:27But here's the thing.
00:46:29I didn't kill them.
00:46:30I just restored them.
00:46:33Damn, you're going too deep.
00:46:35I don't get it.
00:46:35Truth is, I used to work as a mortician.
00:46:37You know, that gig had me around corpses.
00:46:40I may have come into contact with a ghost.
00:46:44We won't make you talk.
00:46:46If you're not up for it.
00:46:48Strong demon tamers have their own secrets.
00:46:51As long as you use your power against demons, you are one of us.
00:46:55Sean, on behalf of the DCD's task force, I approve your membership.
00:46:59Welcome aboard.
00:47:06It's a pleasure.
00:47:16Commander, a spike of demonic energy detected in the West Underground Channel.
00:47:21The energy is skyrocketing.
00:47:23The reading is above A-rank.
00:47:25Get the live footage up now.
00:47:32Code name for now.
00:47:34Rusted Centipede.
00:47:35Two repair crews are down in the channel.
00:47:37They got attacked.
00:47:37It's heavy casualties.
00:47:39We have to stop it underground ASAP.
00:47:41It can't crawl up to the street.
00:47:45Notify Captain White of this now.
00:47:47Tell her to lead the task force into the channel to suppress that demon.
00:48:04Normally, new recruits go through at least two weeks of training before they ever see field duty.
00:48:13But things are crazy right now.
00:48:15And also, clearly you are way better than an ordinary rookie.
00:48:20Hope you understand.
00:48:23Got it.
00:48:26Dude, this is the real deal.
00:48:28We're facing a genuine A-rank demon.
00:48:30Things are tougher than the trials you took.
00:48:32No buckling at the knees or quitting.
00:48:38Halt.
00:48:39It's right up ahead.
00:48:43Lock and load.
00:49:01Form up.
00:49:19Get back.
00:49:20Okay.
00:49:26Go to hell.
00:49:51Sean.
00:49:54Sean, don't force it.
00:49:55That thing is too strong.
00:50:05Holy shit.
00:50:07A full strike from an A-ranked demon.
00:50:09Can't even scratch him.
00:50:13Is he...
00:50:15Is he really just a rookie?
00:50:26You done, Worm?
00:50:27Trying to run?
00:50:29My turn now.
00:50:33Up you go!
00:50:35Up you go!
00:51:02No way that guy is a rookie.
00:51:05I think he's even.
00:51:09More vicious than a demon.
00:51:20How dare you snarl at me.
00:51:22I think he's a rookie.
00:51:49Shatter!
00:51:49Shatter!
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-ranked demon thing?
00:52:35Burt Hammer again?
00:52:38Captain White.
00:52:40You know Burt Hammer?
00:52:41Let's head back to HQ.
00:52:44Then you will know.
00:53:03Check this out.
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 seen this before?
00:53:28Ah, nope.
00:53:29This is an S-ranked demon KO'd by some mysterious demon tamer.
00:53:38Just like that A-ranked centipede.
00:53:41It's got the name on it, the name of Burt Hammer.
00:53:46Captain White, who is Burt Hammer anyway?
00:53:51According to the external intel we found, Burt Hammer was a legendary figure back in the 1920s.
00:53:57It's said that he was a legendary craftsman with hands that could work magic and breathe spirit into dead things.
00:54:04However, when it comes to his life story and how he died, records of that are all classified.
00:54:11Classified?
00:54:12Classified?
00:54:12Even you have no access?
00:54:14Not 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 Number 9 Project
00:54:22of 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.
00:54:34Both 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.
00:54:45Sean, 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.
00:55:03Number 9 Project of Demon Control.
00:55:05They both have Number 9 in their names.
00:55:07They are both related to Burt Hammer.
00:55:09No 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.
00:55:41First 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.
00:56:15Missing?
00:56:18No kidding.
00:56:19It's rusted centipede.
00:56:20No kidding.
00:56:21The 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, but they're no match for the A rank and S rank demons outside
00:56:35in size and strengths.
00:56:36What the hell is going on?
00:56:47One.
00:56:48Two.
00:56:49Three.
00:56:56Ten.
00:57:10Ten.
00:57:12Ten.
00:57:12Ten.
00:57:12Ten.
00:57:13Ten.
00:57:16Ten.
00:57:17Ten.
00:57:19Ten.
00:57:19Ten.
00:57:20Ten.
00:57:22Ten.
00:57:25Ten.
00:57:25Ten.
00:57:29Ten.
00:57:40I'll restore it tonight.
00:57:49Act like I hear nothing? Piece of cake.
00:58:04Can you see me?
00:58:07First rule of a mortician never get distracted on the job. Why won't you answer me?
00:58:13Will you help me?
00:58:16Answer me!
00:58:27Whew. Done.
00:58:41I heard it. These artifacts are like the living.
00:58:44They breathe faintly.
00:58:51Who is it? Who's sighing?
00:58:59Was it the museum itself sighing?
00:59:07Every piece of crop here moves on its own.
00:59:10Don't tell me.
00:59:12The building itself is also a living thing.
00:59:33Miss Swan. I restored another one for you.
00:59:36Good work.
00:59:39The one downer restoration fee will be wired to you soon as I promised.
00:59:45I better get every penny of that money.
00:59:47But besides the cash.
00:59:49Per our deal.
00:59:51You'll give me an answer to a question.
00:59:55And it's gotta be the honest truth.
00:59:58So stop feeding me that my grandma shit.
00:59:59Don't ever lie to me again.
01:00:01Or else, no matter how much you pay,
01:00:03I'll never restore a single thing here again.
01:00:06What do you wanna know?
01:00:08What's the real story behind this museum?
01:00:10And what is its connection to the number nine project of demon control?
01:00:14How?
01:00:14How do you know about that project?
01:00:17None of your business.
01:00:19Now, give me the truth.
01:00:25You've heard of that project, so I'll spill the beans.
01:00:28This private museum is actually a tomb.
01:00:32A tomb?
01:00:33Oh, private museum number nine.
01:00:36Is the number nine project of demon control.
01:00:43A tomb?
01:00:44Whose tomb is it?
01:00:45And what about Bird Hammer?
01:00:47Who the hell is that?
01:00:48What's his role in this?
01:00:51Mr. Lung.
01:00:52I lied to you before.
01:00:54So to make it up to you,
01:00:56I answered two of your questions.
01:00:58I told you what this museum is.
01:01:00And how it relates to the project.
01:01:02But then you fired off five more questions.
01:01:07Ms. Swan,
01:01:08don't try to game the system on me.
01:01:11Rules are rules.
01:01:13You wanna know whose tomb this is?
01:01:15And who Bird Hammer is?
01:01:18Earn it.
01:01:18Restore more stuff tonight.
01:01:31Number nine project of demon control is the museum.
01:01:35And the museum is a tomb.
01:01:38But whose tomb is it?
01:01:41Who is buried here?
01:01:51Your requested file is finally approved.
01:02:00Finally got it.
01:02:03What the hell?
01:02:08When I first got it,
01:02:09I felt shocked too.
01:02:11This is an incomplete file.
01:02:12In other words,
01:02:13the file got heavily censored.
01:02:15Higher-ups understand
01:02:16that we're investigating
01:02:17the surge of demons.
01:02:19They know it's likely connected
01:02:20to the number nine project.
01:02:23Actually,
01:02:23they went to talk with the participants
01:02:25of the project.
01:02:25But those people were stubborn.
01:02:27They don't want the file released
01:02:29to the DCD.
01:02:30That's why the higher-ups
01:02:31can only give us
01:02:32these heavily censored scraps.
01:02:35Participants of the number nine project?
01:02:37This project dates back over 80 years.
01:02:40How come the participants
01:02:42are still alive?
01:02:43How old would they be now?
01:02:51They've lived over 100 years.
01:02:53Not like that's impossible.
01:02:55I mean,
01:02:56Mrs. Swan's been around
01:02:57for over a century.
01:03:02Flesh is the vessel.
01:03:07Given to the seal.
01:03:09The seal stands.
01:03:15What does that even mean?
01:03:21Hold on.
01:03:2414 people.
01:03:26But why 14?
01:03:29So the statue
01:03:30with the Burt Hammer tag
01:03:32was one of the demon tamers
01:03:34who died to set the seal.
01:03:36But the museum
01:03:37only has 12 intact statues.
01:03:40With the shattered one included,
01:03:42that's only 13 altogether.
01:03:44So where is the 14th one?
01:03:48Sean.
01:03:49Burt Hammer might be
01:03:52one of the 14 participants
01:03:53of the project.
01:03:55All the high-level demons
01:03:56popping out lately
01:03:57are connected to him.
01:03:58And that means
01:03:59the number nine project
01:04:00has gone off the rails.
01:04:03We gotta find
01:04:04the real site of this project.
01:04:06Only by digging into that
01:04:08can we stop the demon crisis
01:04:10at 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.
01:04:24An abnormal surge of demonic energy
01:04:26detected in a newly excavated
01:04:27suburban ancient tomb.
01:04:29Our recon team
01:04:30is trapped down there.
01:04:31No idea if they're dead.
01:04:32Lead a team there
01:04:33and rescue them.
01:04:34Copy that.
01:04:49Crazy magnetic field.
01:04:51Strong interference.
01:04:52The detector can't locate
01:04:53the recon team.
01:04:57Flashlight off.
01:04:59Allow me.
01:05:28Over there.
01:05:29To the west.
01:05:30300 wide out.
01:05:31They're getting swarmed.
01:05:37Crap.
01:05:38I'm done.
01:05:56Captain White.
01:05:58Sean.
01:05:59You 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
01:06:15as the ones from those
01:06:16golden markings at the feet
01:06:17of the Guardians.
01:06:35The size and shape of this slot.
01:06:37It's an exact match
01:06:38to the empty stands,
01:06:39the ones with the tag missing.
01:06:41This isn't some ancient tomb.
01:06:42This is where the museum artifacts
01:06:44were kept.
01:06:47Sean, look at this.
01:06:51You locked me up for 50 years
01:06:53and now I'm going to destroy
01:06:55everything you built.
01:06:57What does that mean?
01:07:05These are...
01:07:12The lost broken artifacts
01:07:13from the museum.
01:07:14Why are they here?
01:07:16Whoever that is,
01:07:17they're deeply connected
01:07:18with private museum number nine
01:07:20and even with those
01:07:21missing artifacts.
01:07:25Captain White.
01:07:26Can I borrow them for now?
01:07:27You mean these artifacts?
01:07:29Yeah,
01:07:30they're a huge help to me.
01:07:31Can't explain it right now.
01:07:33You were a huge help
01:07:34in this rescue.
01:07:36So yeah,
01:07:36you can take them.
01:07:39Thanks.
01:07:39Thanks.
01:08:09You're back home.
01:08:11I tracked down the lost artifacts
01:08:13and brought them home.
01:08:15That's something
01:08:16as tough as restoring
01:08:17a busted artifact.
01:08:19A million per piece.
01:08:20Two pieces,
01:08:21two million.
01:08:23Even better.
01:08:24Miss Swan
01:08:25will answer two more
01:08:26of my questions.
01:08:27I gotta find and restore
01:08:28more artifacts.
01:08:30Then it won't be long
01:08:32before I get to the bottom
01:08:34of this creepy private museum.
01:08:47I lost him again.
01:08:57The second
01:08:58his night shift ends,
01:09:00Sean goes completely missing.
01:09:03I've been tracking him
01:09:04step by step,
01:09:05but every time
01:09:06he gets near this block,
01:09:07he just vanishes
01:09:08into thin air.
01:09:09No traces,
01:09:10none,
01:09:11no matter what.
01:09:14The minute he joined
01:09:16the DCD,
01:09:17he pulled A-rank clearance
01:09:19to dig into
01:09:19the number nine project.
01:09:21He's got that
01:09:22terrifying power,
01:09:23yet he's ignorant
01:09:24of the demonic power rule.
01:09:27Sean,
01:09:28what are you really?
01:09:351,2,3,11,12.
01:09:45This smashed one included
01:09:47that makes 13 statues in total,
01:09:49but it was 14 demon tamers
01:09:51giving away their flesh
01:09:52as the vessels.
01:09:54the 14th one.
01:09:56Who is it really?
01:09:57Where'd it go?
01:10:14Where'd it go?
01:10:17Asking for trouble, scam?
01:10:18The wind
01:10:47to be free to
01:10:48moves the
01:10:52I 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.
01:11:03And that collapsed statue?
01:11:04Maybe it died from running out of power.
01:11:09Was that you protecting me just now?
01:11:30I don't know.
01:11:49Music, calligraphy, stone arts, jade arts, carpentry, 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?
01:13:08So sloppy and rushed.
01:13:09Clearly handwritten.
01:13:10And the color's different.
01:13:12This looks like blood.
01:13:24This handbook is a living thing.
01:13:27And it can answer my questions.
01:13:36So we get to communicate?
01:13:38Good.
01:13:39Listen up.
01:13:40Who the hell created you?
01:13:49The 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!
01:14:12Whip bling possum!
01:14:13Do you mean Miss Swan or not?
01:14:15Why do I have to keep restoring artifacts?
01:14:17Spit it out already!
01:14:20Hey!
01:14:21Hey!
01:14:22Codex of the Oracle!
01:14:23Hey buddy!
01:14:24You there?
01:14:30Damn it!
01:14:31Don't you bail on me now!
01:14:40I'll go ask her then!
01:14:42Fine!
01:14:43I'll take it that it meant Miss Swan.
01:14:51Miss Swan!
01:14:52Morning!
01:14:54Looks like you didn't restore any artifact last night.
01:14:58True, I didn't restore any broken ones.
01:15:00But I did something harder than restoration.
01:15:03Oh?
01:15:04What is it?
01:15:05I brought back two artifacts that went missing.
01:15:08A bronze vessel and half a jade pendant.
01:15:11I've put them back on their display stands.
01:15:13Come again?
01:15:14For real?
01:15:16You found the artifacts we lost?
01:15:17While on that,
01:15:18did 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,
01:15:33a slick old timer,
01:15:34is 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,
01:15:45he's gonna destroy everything you built.
01:15:49Mr. Lang,
01:15:50I don't know where you heard that.
01:15:52But if you really ran into that person,
01:15:54given your poor skills,
01:15:56no way you'd make it back alive.
01:15:58Dammit!
01:15:58She's belittling me.
01:15:59She has no idea how strong I am now.
01:16:03All right.
01:16:04I won't beat around the bush.
01:16:10Miss Swan,
01:16:11tell 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.
01:16:26It also said that if I have questions,
01:16:28I should ask you.
01:16:31Miss Swan,
01:16:32let's be honest with each other.
01:16:33I know what you want.
01:16:35You want me to keep restoring artifacts in this museum.
01:16:37I can agree to that,
01:16:38and keep doing this life-threatening shit.
01:16:40Only if you answer all my questions.
01:16:41No more secrets or lies.
01:16:50That thing is willing to guide you.
01:16:52Guess it's really accepted you.
01:16:56All right, deal.
01:16:57Ask me anything.
01:16:58If I know it,
01:16:59I'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,
01:17:12you've joined the DCD,
01:17:13haven't you?
01:17:14By now,
01:17:14you should have memorized that definite rule of power.
01:17:17The power of a demon never disappears.
01:17:20It transfers.
01:17:21Right.
01:17:21In this world,
01:17:22demons are immortal.
01:17:24The only way to truly wipe one out is to have it sealed.
01:17:27When you're restoring the broken artifacts,
01:17:30you're actually having them resealed.
01:17:32Having them sealed is the same as having them killed.
01:17:35That 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.
01:17:46That'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,
01:18:01have world-shattering power.
01:18:03But why,
01:18:04inside the museum,
01:18:05are 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.
01:18:44Any story behind that?
01:18:47These five exhibition areas were built according to the toughest formation there is,
01:18:52the formation of five celestial peaks.
01:18:54This museum itself,
01:18:56it's one massive god-tier magical formation.
01:18:59The moon.
01:19:28This museum is used to serve as Leslie,
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.
01:20:25They've been burning themselves out to keep the formation running.
01:20:29So that the thousands of demons here could stay suppressed.
01:20:37Sean, now you know everything.
01:20:40The Guardians' 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?
01:21:00Holy crap, that's a death sentence!
01:21:02The demons will tear me to shreds!
01:21:04Don't worry.
01:21:05You've got the Guardians in here.
01:21:07We'll burn our last ounce of strength.
01:21:09And even sacrifice the museum just to protect you.
01:21:12And to help you.
01:21:14Sean, we're out of time.
01:21:15That person is coming.
01:21:16You must go all out now.
01:21:18Work as fast as you can.
01:21:20Restore every last artifact in this museum.
01:21:23Only by restoring them can you keep getting stronger.
01:21:26In 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.
