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.
00:00:08Why? 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.
00:00:46No 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.
00:01:46Rule 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.
00:02:09Rule 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.
00:02:50No bearing, needs a heavy duty pin.
00:03:01No bearing, needs a heavy duty pin.
00:03:03Oh, oh, oh, oh.
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 demon 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.
00:05:29The 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.
00:05:49They say it's because of this S rank demon, the news is scrubbed everywhere.
00:05:52My buddy took this picture. Dope, huh?
00:05:56That's the statue I restored last night.
00:05:59Someone photoshopped it, blew it up and slapped on some lightning.
00:06:01Dumb Chuck, he'll believe any gossip.
00:06:03Stop 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.
00:06:12After a night shift, I'm not even tired.
00:06:15If anything, I feel much stronger.
00:06:20Hold up.
00:06:22When did rule 5 show up?
00:06:29Did someone find out I restored that statue?
00:06:31And sneak in last night to add this rule, just to pin it 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.
00:06:52Did you guys sneak that in?
00:06:55Stop asking. Just follow every single rule there is.
00:06:58No questions asked. That's how you last longer.
00:07:02Look, I restored that statue.
00:07:03And let me be clear. Long before my shift, that statue had been in pieces.
00:07:06I didn't break it before restoring it.
00:07:08Don't you dock my pay over this.
00:07:10M-what?
00:07:11You restored the Octo-Arm Asura?
00:07:14Quick, take me to it. Now.
00:07:28Huh? You actually restored the Octo-Arm Asura?
00:07:31No doubt. You see, I've had this weird ability.
00:07:34No matter what it 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 5 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?
00:08:18And hey! Tell me this. I restored it. What's in it for me?
00:08:24You'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.
00:08:44And 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! You've got a deal!
00:08:57Problem solved! Deal! 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? 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? 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.
00:11:16I'll patch it up.

00:28:37Bird Hammer? Who's that?
00:28:40The Forger.
00:28:44This S-Rank demon was crafted by someone with an intention.
00:28:47It can't be.
00:28:49Apart from the bronze head.
00:28:51That demon also has a body.
00:28:53And it's missing.
00:28:54Remember? 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.
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.
00:29:40The Olympic Games.
00:29:43Amsterdam.
00:29:46The Olympic Games, Amsterdam.
00:29:48That's literally in 1928.
00:29:51Almost a century ago.
00:29:57If this is really Ms. 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?
00:30:27Yeah.
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.
00:30:40The 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.
00:30:59Save 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.
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.
00:31:28What's the big deal?
00:31:30The one net will hit your account on time.
00:31:32I've got things to do.
00:31:33Bye.
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.
00:31:59Don't think she'll tell me the truth.
00:32:01I gotta dig into it.
00:32:06This 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.
00:32:58Some serious force is 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 full of juicy info.
00:33:24Sean!
00:33:25Sean!
00:33:25Sean!
00:33:26You've been ghosting everyone for days.
00:33:27You even turned down the mortician gigs.
00:33:30What kind of business are you in now?
00:33:35I got a night shift side job.
00:33:38Chuck, take my advice.
00:33:41Some things are better left unknown.
00:33:44F-
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!
00:33:54Make fun of my weight as you want, but 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, got nuked from the internet right away, wiped 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.
00:34:39Lots 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.
00:34:54They'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.
00:35:09The 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.
00:35:19Word 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?
00:35:47I 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, but 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?
00:36:36Sean, you?
00:36:37You 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.
00:37:35Codename, 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.
00:37:43And 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-rank 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-rank 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.
00:38:17Only 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.
00:38:42I wonder what level I can reach.
00:38:47The test starts now.
00:38:51The test starts now.
00:39:10My face!
00:39:12My face is killing me!
00:39:35Guess I've got this test in the bag.
00:39:43Seriously that insane?
00:39:47Keep going.
00:39:49Take it to C rank.
00:40:04I saw it!
00:40:05There are faces in there!
00:40:07So many faces!
00:40:09Get out!
00:40:10Get the hell out of my head!
00:40:12Don't eat me!
00:40:14Don't eat me!
00:40:27That's the best you can do!
00:40:30Now get the hell out!
00:40:31I'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!
00:40:52V rank!
00:40:53Seriously!
00:40:53I've got it!
00:40:54Relax!
00:41:06Give me your face!
00:41:07Your face is so perfect!
00:41:08Let me have a bite!
00:41:10Let me have a bite!
00:41:10I'm so hungry!
00:41:11I'm so hungry!
00:41:27Here's the rest!
00:41:28I'm so hungry!
00:41:29I'm so hungry!
00:41:32That 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.
00:41:38Only 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!
00:42:07Fall back!
00:42:29Come on! Run!
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 rank demon!
00:42:43He 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!
00:43:25Hmm...
00:43:25No way Captain White can save him!
00:43:31He can't even escape from the left man!
00:43:32Oh shit!
00:43:36No way Captain White can save him!
00:43:41No way Captain America!
00:43:45No way Captain!
00:43:47No way Captain!
00:43:49Don't let him rip!
00:43:51Come on!
00:44:04Holy shit!
00:44:06Face Eater, the A-rank 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-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.
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-rank demon tamer.
00:45:07A-rank 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, it paid off.
00:45:18With A-rank clearance, I can finally dig into private museum number 9.
00:45:22Sean, I gotta warn you about this.
00:45:25Your power feels weird.
00:45:27It isn't anything you trained for.
00:45:29It's like something you reap from a demon.
00:45:32What do you mean?
00:46:02There's a definite rule about demons.
00:46:03You're the power before that.
00:46:05According to our assessment, you're at least a top-A rank.
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.
00:46:22So the Octawar Masura and that Bronze Warrior are both demons.
00:46:27But here's the thing.
00:46:28I didn't kill them.
00:46:30I just restored them.
00:46:33Damn, you're going too deep.
00:46:34I 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.
00:47:22The reading is above A rank.
00:47:24Get the live footage up now.
00:47:32Codename for now.
00:47:34Rusted Centipede.
00:47:35Two repair crews are down in the channel.
00:47:36They 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.
00:47:44Notify 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.
00:49:00Form up.
00:49:02Form 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.
00:50:06A full strike from an A rank 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!
00:51:02No way that guy is a rookie.
00:51:05I think he's even.
00:51:09More vicious than a demon.
00:51:19I think he's even.
00:51:48Shatter!
00:51:50Shatter!
00:51:52Shatter!
00:52:13Forged by Burt Hammer.
00:52:19Burt Hammer?
00:52:22The bronze statue of a guardian. What does it have to do with this A-rank demon thing?
00:52:35Burt Hammer again?
00:52:38Captain White, you know Burt Hammer?
00:52:41Let's head back to HQ. Then you will know.
00:53:10The 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-rank demon KO'd by some mysterious demon tamer. Just like that A-rank centipede.
00:53:41It's got the name on it, the name of Burt Hammer.
00:53:46Captain White, who is Burt Hammer anyway?
00:53:50According 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
00:54:03dead things. However, 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
00:54:19SSS-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.
00:54:33Both 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. 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. Number 9 Project of Demon Control. They both have Number 9 in their names.
00:55:06They are both related to Burt Hammer. No way. So that museum has another role other
00:55:11than a building full of creepy artifacts. Sean, you following?
00:55:21Got it. I'll be waiting.
00:55:38Tonight, I'm restoring one more artifact. First thing next morning,
00:55:42I'll threaten to stop my restoration work and make Ms. Swan spill the beans.
00:55:47If she feeds me that my grandma's shit again, I'm done with this job.
00:56:14Missing?
00:56:18No kidding. It's rusted centipede. The demon. We met underground during the day.
00:56:23It really came from this museum. But it was a tiny little thing inside here.
00:56:28Why did it turn into a monster outside? The 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?
00:56:47One. Two. Three.
00:56:56Ten.
00:57:10Ten.
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.
00:57:39I'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? Will you help me? Answer me!
00:58:26Whew. Done.
00:58:41I heard it. These artifacts are like the living. They 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.
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.
00:59:37Good 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? How 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?
01:00:33Private museum number nine is 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. Lang.
01:00:52I 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.
01:01:06Ms. 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?
01:01:17Earn it.
01:01:18Restore more stuff tonight.
01:01:31Number nine project of demon control is the museum.
01:01:34And the museum is a tomb.
01:01:37But 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?
01:02:07When 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.
01:02:18They 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.
01:02:35Participants 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.
01:03:08The 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 Burt Hammer tag was one of the demon tamers who died to set the seal.
01:03:36But the museum only has twelve intact statues.
01:03:39With the shattered one included, that's only thirteen altogether.
01:03:43So where is the fourteenth one?
01:03:49One 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.
01:04:10I 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.
01:04:29Our 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, to 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, Sean!
01:05:58You 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 markings at the feet.
01:06:18Of the guardians.
01:06:25Over there!
01:06:35The size and shape of this slot, it's an exact match to the empty stands, the ones with the tag
01:06:40missing.
01:06:41This isn't some ancient tomb.
01:06:42This is where the museum artifacts were kept.
01:06:47Sean, look 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?
01:07:05These 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.
01:07:24Captain White, can I borrow them for now?
01:07:27You mean these artifacts?
01:07:29Yeah, they're a huge help to me. Can't explain it right now.
01:07:33You are a huge help in this rescue. So yeah, you can take them.
01:07:38Thanks.
01:07:40Thanks.
01:07:53Lots.
01:07:57On?
01:08:03There.
01:08:04Was mushrooms.
01:08:05Yeah.
01:08:08Looks.
01:08:09You're linked.
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, Ms. 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.
01:09:02I'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.
01:09:23Yet he's ignorant of the demonic power rule.
01:09:27Sean...
01:09:27What are you really?
01:09:29I'm, I'm, I'm...
01:09:36One...
01:09:36Two...
01:09:39Three...
01:09:41Eleven...
01:09:43Twelve...
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 who is it really where to go?
01:10:17Asking for trouble scam
01:10:51I get it now
01:10:53Hey you, the Guardians
01:10:55You've been burning through your life force to suppress the demonic artifacts here
01:10:59Your bodies are cracking because your power has been drained
01:11:02And that collapsed statue, maybe it died from running out of power
01:11:08Was that you protecting me just now?
01:11:11I don't know
01:11:41Wood, the carpenter.
01:11:45Forging, painting, carving, weaving, lacquer arts, music, 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, we have no regrets.
01:12:56Work faster!
01:12:58The clock is ticking!
01:13:00Something's off.
01:13:01The extra rules that popped up out of nowhere were all like type text.
01:13:06But these sentences?
01:13:07So sloppy and rushed, clearly 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?
01:13:36So we get to communicate?
01:13:38Good.
01:13:39Listen up.
01:13:40Who the hell created you?
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?
01:13:57And the 14th Guardian?
01:13:59Where are they?
01:14:04Go ask her.
01:14:05Who do you mean?
01:14:06Could it be...
01:14:07Miss Swan?
01:14:11Hey!
01:14:12Quit playing 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!
01:14:21Codex of the Oracle!
01:14:23Hey buddy!
01:14:24You there?
01:14:25You 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.
01:14:50Miss 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,
01:15:18did 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,
01:15:32a slick old timer,
01:15:33is 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,
01:15:44he's gonna destroy everything you built.
01:15:49Mr. Lang,
01:15:50I 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.
01:16:03All 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.
01:16:25It 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.
01:16:34You 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.
01:16:49That 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
01:17:26is 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
01:17:33is the same as having them killed.
01:17:35That means,
01:17:36the moment you have an artifact
01:17:38restored 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
01:17:54are freaking terrifying demons.
01:17:58And the ones that got lost out there
01:18:00have world-shattering power.
01:18:02But why,
01:18:03inside the museum,
01:18:04are they stuck as tiny,
01:18:06lifeless objects?
01:18:07Most of them can barely even twitch.
01:18:09And also,
01:18:10even I myself feel so much weaker
01:18:12whenever I'm inside here.
01:18:13When I'm here,
01:18:13I 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
01:18:34five 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
01:18:49to the toughest formation there is,
01:18:51the formation of five celestial peaks.
01:18:54This museum itself,
01:18:56it's one massive
01:18:57god-tier magical formation.
01:18:59Aero- whole lost sometimes.
01:19:14I miss you,
01:19:15this museum is out of the33-
01:19:15To ihrem go crazy and park
01:19:15To their next one,
01:19:27and this museum is
01:19:27as most houses
01:19:27are being released outside.
01:19:27And of course,
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 ruins.
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!
01:21:01The 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.
01:21:22Only by restoring them can you keep getting stronger.
01:21:25In the end.
01:21:26You must inherit the twelve Guardian's 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.
