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.
00:01:18Rule 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.
00:01:45Rule 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.
00:02:14Rule 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.
00:02:39Rule 5. The bronze warrior is missing its head.
00:02:50No bearing needs a heavy-duty pin.
00:02:52I don't know.
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.
00:04:27To be continued...
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
00:05:12just like that. What 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.
00:05:27Kind of like when you killed a mirror demon and got its power. The power of the S rank Octo
00:05:32Armasura 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. I've been a mortician for years, never once seen any
00:06:08real 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'll 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.
00:07:59If 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? 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?
00:08:41Hmm...
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!
00:09:31100k per piece! 10 pieces? A million! Yeah! Jackpot!
00:09:34Tonight 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? Guess not. That woman spent all day breathing down my neck like a forewoman. She never
00:10:11got the chance.
00:10:18Screw it. I'll patch it up.
00:10:22Screw 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.
00:10:49This 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.
00:11:33A hundred grand.
00:11:54What the hell?
00:11:56Where are my tools? Where did my tools go? They walked off?
00:12:04Who the heck did this?
00:12:11Gotcha.
00:12:27Nobody here?
00:12:28The one who destroyed the Octo-Armesura might be just the creep who swiped my tools.
00:12:33Right. The camera. It tells all.
00:12:44Rule 6. Before restoring any artifact, always check how the others around it react.
00:12:53Who's playing Ghost now?
00:12:54So to restore one piece, I need permission from the others here?
00:12:58You're telling me those other artifacts stole my tools?
00:13:01Bullshit. No way some metal could come to life.
00:13:05Nah, 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.
00:13:57The 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.
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.
00:14:10And she'd pay me a fat bonus for that.
00:14:12Day 4. For the money, I started restoring the broken bronze mirror.
00:14:16But they don't want to be restored. That 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. I shouldn't have restored that thing.
00:14:28I stared at that mirror. My fingers started hardening.
00:14:31It 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.
00:14:45But 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?
00:15:00Who'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. I'm restoring this mirror anyway.
00:16:01Guess I was worried for nothing.
00:16:03Can't believe I bought those shitty rules.
00:16:35Those 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?
00:19:23Phew, finally stopped.
00:19:52What a shame.
00:19:54They're all busted up.
00:20:02But, Hammer?
00:20:08You were smiling?
00:20:14Another creepy area.
00:20:16What a shitty museum so full of creepy trouble.
00:20:36No way!
00:20:37My wound healed up overnight.
00:20:39What crazy regeneration.
00:20:42Am I even human anymore?
00:20:55Perfect timing!
00:20:56Guess you figured it out.
00:20:58What?
00:20:59This 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!
00:21:07This isn't 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. Lang, 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.
00:21:49But if you leave, they'll follow you right out the 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
00:22:12multiplied by 10.
00:22:14By 10?
00:22:15Before it was 100k per piece.
00:22:17And now?
00:22:18That's a million, right?
00:22:20Yep.
00:22:22I'm in.
00:22:23I will do anything for that cash.
00:22:25But you have to tell me what the hell this museum is.
00:22:27Why does all that junk move on its own?
00:22:29Is this place haunted?
00:22:34Mr. Lang, you ask too many questions.
00:22:37At this museum, the truth costs more than anything else.
00:22:41You want answers?
00:22:41Fine.
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.
00:23:03Another 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, then lock the office
00:23:41door.
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? Then I'll make you a brand new one myself.
00:24:36Nailed it.
00:25:00Nailed it.
00:25:02Coming.
00:25:18Wait here.
00:25:42Alright, you want to head, huh?
00:25:44The original one is gone, but I've made you an exact replica.
00:25:53What the heck?
00:26:07Perfect.
00:26:08One million, baby.
00:26:14What the hell?
00:26:16I'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.
00:26:34Put the stall, and here of Team
00:26:35Where's my body?
00:26:42Give me your body.
00:27:00In the last 72 hours the demonic invasion in town has tripled.
00:27:05And the most dangerous one.
00:27:06Codename confirmed, Bronze Head.
00:27:08So far HQ has lost 3 A-Rank Demon Tamers and 7 B-Rank 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.
00:27:29The target!
00:27:32It'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...
00:27:40We lost the demon's trace!
00:27:42Pull up the last feed!
00:27:48Body?
00:27:49Where's my body?
00:27:51It found a lead on it's body!
00:27:54It's found a lead on it's body!
00:27:56Nooo!
00:27:59Nooo!
00:28:02Nooo!
00:28:03Nooo!
00:28:04Nooo!
00:28:05Nooo!
00:28:06Nooo!
00:28:07Nooo!
00:28:24Is it completely dead now?
00:28:40The S-Rank demon was crafted by someone with an intention.
00:28:48It can't be.
00:28:49Apart from the bronze head.
00:28:52That demon also has a body.
00:28:53And it's missing.
00:28:54Remember?
00:28:55That thing is at least S-Rank strong.
00:28:57Dig up everything you can on Burt Hammer.
00:28:59Track 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?
00:29:13What's this?
00:29:27Hold on.
00:29:29This woman.
00:29:31That's Ms. Swan.
00:29:33But 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.
00:29:51Almost a century ago.
00:30:21Ms. 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 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, 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 almost 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 one hundred 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.
00:32:10There 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.
00:32:58Some serious force.
00:33:00He's covering up everything about this museum and Burt Hammer.
00:33:06Guess 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.
00:33:44Why 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.
00:33:59That photo's the real deal.
00:34:04Sean.
00:34:04Check 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.
00:34:11But 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.
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.
00:35:00Demon control division?
00:35:02Demon 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 that happen all over
00:35:16the 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.
00:35:24They'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.
00:35:57No 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.
00:36:25Special abilities.
00:36:27Something like this.
00:36:35Huh? Sean, you? You have a special ability.
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.
00:37:20I'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, codename Face Eater.
00:37:38You 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?
00:37:45Hmm.
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-rank energy, you get to become a C-ranked demon tamer.
00:38:02If 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-rank 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.
00:38:49The test starts now.
00:39:10My face!
00:39:12My face is killing me!
00:39:14My face is killing me!
00:39:36Guess I've got this test in the bag.
00:39:40That's what this looks like for me!
00:39:43Seriously, that insane?
00:39:47Keep going.
00:39:49Take it to C rank.
00:40:04I-I saw it!
00:40:06There are faces in there!
00:40:07So many faces!
00:40:09Get out! Get the hell out of my ass! Don't eat me! Don't eat me!
00:40:28That's the best you can do! Now get the hell out! I'm going for something harder here!
00:40:34Take it straight to B-ranked!
00:40:42Are you sure? Damn sure!
00:40:50Captain White! B-rank, seriously? I've got it! Relax!
00:41:06Give me your face! Your face is so perfect!
00:41:08Let me have a bite! I'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!
00:42:03Oh shit! The demon is out! It's after that guy!
00:42:06Fall back!
00:42:29I'm so hungry!
00:42:31Let's go!
00:42:33Oh shit!
00:42:35How are you doing this except that guy is up?
00:42:39Crap! That rookie's got no guts at all. He's frozen in fear by that A-ranked demon. He can't even
00:42:44dodge now. He's not moving. No way Captain White can save him now.
00:42:54Praise you, demon!
00:43:03Get the hell back.
00:43:07Get out!
00:43:09Get out!
00:43:10Get out!
00:43:14Right now.
00:43:16No.
00:43:21Get out!
00:43:23Get out!
00:43:25No, that's not too much!
00:43:31Get out!
00:43:32Get out!
00:43:32Get out!
00:43:33Get out!
00:43:34Get out!
00:43:35I don't know.
00:44:05Holy shit. Face Eater, the A-rank demon is gone. That rookie wasted it and crushed the bell. With just
00:44:14one freaking strike. Wait, is this really a test for rookies? He punched an A-rank 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. You're now one of us.
00:44:51The higher-ups of the DCD made a call. You're certified as an A-rank demon tamer.
00:45:07A-rank demon tamers are the absolute core muscles of the DCD. Starting today, you get top-tier pay and
00:45:13a fat bonus. Also, you may access all the intel and resources.
00:45:17Sweet, it paid off. With A-rank clearance, I can finally dig into private museum number nine.
00:45:23Sean, I gotta warn you about this. Your power feels weird. It isn't anything you trained for. It's like something
00:45:30you reap from a demon.
00:45:32What do you mean?
00:45:34There's a definite rule about demons. A demon's power never disappears. It transfers. Even when an S-rank demon gets
00:45:42put down. Its power doesn't vanish. It jumps straight to the demon's killer.
00:45:52A demon's power never disappears. It transfers.
00:45:57You just killed Face Eater, the A-rank demon. By the said move, you've now inherited its power. And you'd
00:46:03gotten some power before that. According to our assessment, you're at least a top A-rank.
00:46:10Kill some demon and you get its power. Ever since I restored the Octawar Masura and the Bronze Warrior, my
00:46:21body has started mutating. So the Octawar Masura and that Bronze Warrior are both demons.
00:46:27But here's the thing. I didn't kill them. I just restored them.
00:46:33Ahem, you're going too deep. I don't get it. Truth is, I used to work as a mortician. You know,
00:46:38that gig had me around corpses. I may have come into contact with a ghost.
00:46:44We won't make you talk. If you're not up for it. Strong demon tamers have their own secrets. As long
00:46:51as you use your power against demons, you are one of us. Sean, on behalf of the DCD's task force,
00:46:57I approve your membership. Welcome aboard.
00:47:06It's a pleasure.
00:47:16Commander! A spike of demonic energy detected in the West Underground Channel. The energy is skyrocketing. The reading is above
00:47:24A-rank.
00:47:24Get the live footage up now.
00:47:32Codename for now. Rusted Centipede. Two repair crews are down in the channel. They got attacked. It's heavy casualties.
00:47:39We have to stop it underground ASAP. It can't crawl up to the street.
00:47:45Notify Captain White of this now. Tell 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. And 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. We're facing a genuine A-rank demon. Things are tougher than the trials you
00:48:32took. No buckling at the knees or quitting.
00:48:38Halt. It's right up ahead.
00:48:43Lock and load!
00:48:58Lock and load!
00:49:01Form up!
00:49:19Get back!
00:49:20Okay!
00:49:27Go to hell!
00:49:51Sean!
00:49:54Sean!
00:49:55Sean, don't force it! That thing is too strong!
00:49:56Sean!
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? Trying to run?
00:50:30My turn now.
00:50:33Up 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!
00:51:22How dare you snarl at me!
00:51:28How dare you snarl at me!
00:51:48Shatter!
00:51:59Shatter!
00:52:12Forged by Burt Hammer.
00:52:21The 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.
00:53:02Check this out.
00:53:11The head from Chuck's photo. An exact match of the one I made.
00:53:15The head from Chuck's photo. An exact match of the one I made.
00:53:19And I never even saw the original head of that bronze warrior. Is this a coincidence or what?
00:53:25You okay? You've seen this before?
00:53:28Ah, nope. But this head really gives me the creeps.
00:53:34This is an S-ranked demon KO'd by some mysterious demon tamer. Just like that A-rank centipede. It's got
00:53:41the name on it, the name of Burt Hammer.
00:53:46Captain White. Who is Burt Hammer anyway?
00:53:50According to the external intel we found, Burt Hammer was a legendary figure back in the 1920s. It's said that
00:53:58he 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? Even you have no access?
00:54:13Not just me. Even the commander can't access them. All intel on Burt Hammer has been locked away in a
00:54:19top secret SSS rank file called Number 9 Project of Demon Control.
00:54:24What? Number 9 Project of Demon Control?
00:54:27Yeah, a level 1 secret from the earliest days. I'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. Anyway, we
00:54:38should start digging into Burt Hammer and the Number 9 Project of Demon Control.
00:54:42The approval should take a few days. Sean, I know you're itching to go but this is a huge deal.
00:54:48Just hang tight for now. I'll hit you up the second the file lands.
00:55:00Private Museum Number 9 Project of Demon Control. They both have Number 9 in their names. They are both related
00:55:08to Burt Hammer. No way. So that museum has another role other than a building full of creepy artifacts.
00:55:13Sean, you following?
00:55:21Got it. I'll be waiting.
00:55:38Tonight, I'm restoring one more artifact. First thing next morning, I'll threaten to stop my restoration work and make Ms.
00:55:45Swan spill the beans.
00:55:47Tonight, I'm restoring one more artifact. First thing next morning, I'll threaten to stop my restoration work and make Ms.
00:55:53Swan spill the beans.
00:55:53First thing next morning, I'll threaten to stop my restoration work and make Ms. Swan spill the beans.
00:56:15Missing?
00:56:18No kidding. It's rusted centipede. The demon. We met underground during the day. It really came from this museum.
00:56:25But it was a tiny little thing inside here. Why 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.
00:56:37What the hell is going on?
00:56:38What are you doing?
00:56:46One.
00:56:48Two.
00:56:49Three.
00:56:56Ten.
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? Piece 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!
00:58:27Whew.
00:58:28Done.
00:58:41I heard it.
00:58:43These artifacts are like the living.
00:58:45They breathe faintly.
00:58:52Who is it?
00:58:53Who's sighing?
00:58:59Was it the museum itself sighing?
00:59:06Every piece of crop here moves on its own.
00:59:10Don't tell me.
00:59:12The building itself is also a living thing.
00:59:33Ms. Swan, I restored another one for you.
00:59:37Good 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, per our deal, you'll give me an answer to a question.
00:59:55And, it's gotta be the honest truth.
00:59:57So stop feeding me that my grandma shit.
00:59:59Don't ever lie to me again.
01:00:00Or else, no matter how much you pay, I'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?
01:00:33No, private museum number nine.
01:00:35Is the number nine project of demon control.
01:00:42A 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?
01:00:50Mr. Lung, I lied to you before.
01:00:54So to make it up to you, I answered two of your questions.
01:00:58I told you what this museum is, and how it relates to the project.
01:01:02But then you fired off five more questions.
01:01:07Ms. Swan, don't try to game the system on me.
01:01:10Rules are rules.
01:01:12You 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?
01:01:40Who is buried here?
01:01:51Your requested file is finally approved.
01:02:00Finally got it.
01:02:04What the hell?
01:02:08When I first got it, I felt shocked too.
01:02:10This is an incomplete file.
01:02:12In other words, the file got heavily censored.
01:02:15Higher-ups understand that we're investigating the surge of demons.
01:02:19They know it's likely connected to the number nine project.
01:02:22Actually, they went to talk with the participants of the project.
01:02:26But 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.
01:02:35Participants of the number nine project.
01:02:37This project dates back over 80 years.
01:02:40How come the participants are still alive?
01:02:43How 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.
01:03:07Given to the seal.
01:03:09The seal stands.
01:03:15What does that even mean?
01:03:21Hold on.
01:03:24Fourteen people.
01:03:26But why fourteen?
01:03:29So the statue with the bird hammer tag was one of the demon tamers who died to set the seal.
01:03:36But the museum only has twelve intact statues.
01:03:40With the shattered one included.
01:03:42That's only thirteen altogether.
01:03:44So where is the fourteenth one?
01:03:48Sean.
01:03:49Bird hammer might be.
01:03:52One of the fourteen 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, can we stop the demon crisis at the source.
01:04:11I 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.
01:04:29Our 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.
01:04:51Strong interference.
01:04:52The detector can't locate the recon team.
01:04:57Flashlight off.
01:04:59Allow me.
01:05:28Over there.
01:05:29To the west.
01:05:30Three hundred wide out.
01:05:31They're getting swarmed.
01:05:37Crap.
01:05:38I'm done.
01:05:56Captain White.
01:05:57Sean.
01:05:59You finally made it.
01:06:02Check this wall.
01:06:12No way.
01:06:13The patterns of these rooms, they look the same as the ones from those golden markers.
01:06:17At the feet.
01:06:18Of 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.
01:06:41This isn't some ancient tomb.
01:06:42This is where the museum artifacts were kept.
01:06:47Sean.
01:06:47Look at this.
01:06:51You locked me up for 50 years.
01:06:53And now, I'm gonna destroy everything you built.
01:06:57What does that mean?
01:07:06These are...
01:07:11The lost broken artifacts from the museum.
01:07:14Why are they here?
01:07:16Whoever that is, they're deeply connected with private museum number nine.
01:07:20And even with those missing 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 in this rescue.
01:07:35So yeah.
01:07:36You can take them.
01:07:39Thanks.
01:07:42Thanks, Food App Francis.
01:07:49Until next time...
01:07:51You got hurt.
01:07:54Not yet.
01:07:59Another thing.
01:08:00Do you know what?
01:08:01What about your artifacts?
01:08:01Not yet.
01:08:07The power is rapidly moving out.
01:08:08You and your Poisas...
01:08:08In the works.
01:08:08Oh, well.
01:08:09You'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.
01:08:58His night shift ends.
01:09:00Sean goes completely missing.
01:09:03I've been tracking him step by step.
01:09:05But every time he gets near this block.
01:09:07He just vanishes into thin air.
01:09:09No traces. None. No matter what.
01:09:15The minute he joined the DCD.
01:09:17He pulled A rank clearance to dig into the number nine project.
01:09:21He's got that terrifying power.
01:09:23Yet he's ignorant of the demonic power rule.
01:09:27Sean.
01:09:28What are you really?

01:15:49mr lang i don't know where you heard that
01:15:51but if you really ran into that person

01:15:57damn it she's belittling me
01:15:59she has no idea how strong i am now
01:16:03all right i 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
01:16:20what you talked with it what 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 i know what you want
01:16:35you want me to keep restoring artifacts in this museum i can agree to that and keep doing this
01:16:39life-threatening shit only if you answer all my questions no more secrets or lies
01:16:49that thing is willing to guide you guess it's really accepted you
01:16:56all right deal ask me anything if i know it i'll tell you
01:17:00question one all those broken artifacts in the museum what are they and also why is it that
01:17:07every time i restore them i end up getting some crazy power boost
01:17:11mr lang you've joined the dcd haven't you by now you should have memorized that definite rule of power
01:17:17the power of a demon never disappears it transfers right in this world demons are immortal the only
01:17:24way to truly wipe one out is to have it sealed when you're restoring the broken artifacts you're
01:17:30actually having them resealed having them sealed is the same as having them killed that means the
01:17:37moment you have an artifact restored and resealed again its power gets pulled out of it and then
01:17:43the power transfers right into you that's why you keep getting stronger
01:17:50i see question two all those busted artifacts are freaking terrifying demons
01:17:58and the ones that got lost out there have world shattering power but why inside the museum are they
01:18:05stuck as tiny lifeless objects most of them can barely even twitch and also even i myself feel so much
01:18:11weaker whenever i'm inside here when i'm here i can't access most of my power actually that's the whole
01:18:18reason private museum number nine was built inside the museum every single demonic power must be
01:18:26absolutely suppressed get suppressed inside here sean have you thought about this why are there only five
01:18:34main sections here bronze arts jade arts calligraphy and paintings ceramics terracotta arts any story behind
01:18:45that these five exhibition areas were built according to the toughest formation there is the formation of
01:18:52five celestial peeps this museum itself it's one massive god tier magical formation
01:19:02so
01:19:11so
01:19:13so
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 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.
01:20:54Instead, 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.
01:21:04Don'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,
01:21:26you 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.
