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.
00:02:43Rule 5. The bronze warrior is missing its head to the France's base in its head.

00:03:04Oh, 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? Still 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.
00:05:27Kind 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.
00:05:50They 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.
00:05:58Someone 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.
00:06:13After 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 and sneak in last night to add this rule, just to pin
00:06:35it on me?
00:06:39Mr. Lang, you... you're still alive?
00:06:42Of course I'm alive. You think I'm a ghost?
00:06:46You made it through night one. Well done.
00:06:49Ms. Swan, the rules have won more than yesterday. Did you guys sneak that in?
00:06:55Stop asking. Just follow every single rule there is. No questions asked. That's how you last longer.
00:07:02Look, I restored that statue. And let me be clear, long before my shift, that statue had been in pieces.
00:07:06I didn't break it before restoring it. Don't you dock my pay over this.
00:07:11What? You restored the Octo Armor, Sura?
00:07:14Quick, take me to it. Now.
00:07:28Huh? You actually restored the Octo Armor, Sura?
00:07:32No doubt. You see, I've had this weird ability.
00:07:35No 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?
00:08:35Hmm.
00:08:41All right.
00:08:42You'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 have 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!
00:09:05Oh!
00:09:06Oh!
00:09:06Oh!
00:09:06Oh!
00:09:07Oh!
00:09:07Oh!
00:09:08Oh!
00:09:19100k per piece!
00:09:2010 pieces?
00:09:21A million!
00:09:21Yeah!
00:09:21Jackpot!
00:09:30Here we go!
00:09:31Another night ship!
00:09:33On top of pulling guard duty, tonight I'll restore another artifact!
00:09:52What happened?
00:09:57Weird.
00:09:58These are not natural cracks.
00:09:59Someone 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.
00:10:19I'll patch it up.
00:10:29I'll patch it up.
00:10:31Also, I need to step up patrols.
00:10:34Whoever did this, you're done.
00:10:49This is it.
00:10:50A small chip.
00:10:51Easy restore.
00:11:14Once this one's done, that's another 100k.
00:11:29A hundred grand.

00:28:38Birdhammer? Who's that?
00:28:40The Forger.
00:28:44This S-Rank demon was crafted by someone with an intention.
00:28:48It can't be.
00:28:49Apart from the bronze head.
00:28:51That demon also has a body, and it's missing.
00:28:54Remember? That thing is at least S-Rank strong.
00:28:57Dig up everything you can on Birdhammer.
00:29:00Track down the origin of this demon.
00:29:07I'm just a night guard. Why am I stuck cleaning the front desk too?
00:29:12Hm?
00:29:13What's this?
00:29:27Hold on. This woman.
00:29:31That's Ms. Swan.
00:29:33But this photo gotta be years old.
00:29:41The Olympic Games?
00:29:43Amsterdam?
00:29:46The Olympic Games?
00:29:47Amsterdam?
00:29:48That's literally in 1928.
00:29:51Almost a century ago.
00:29:58If this is really Ms. Swan, then she's been alive for over a century?
00:30:02Mayor?
00:30:17Knock and knock and knock.
00:30:19Knock and knock.
00:30:21Ms. Swan, morning!
00:30:24Aloha!
00:30:25Time to pay up!
00:30:26Pay up?
00:30:27Yeah!
00:30:28Yeah, I'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, but the head of that bronze warrior was totally gone.
00:30:45How could you fix that?
00:30:47Come on, why the big whoop?
00:30:49Its head was missing, so 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?
00:31:20This 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.
00:32:59Some serious force is covering up everything about this museum and Burt Hammer.
00:33:06I guess I'm not finding anything online.
00:33:09Gotta hit up Chuck for some leads.
00:33:11He's got connections.
00:33:13Full of juicy info.
00:33:24Sean!
00:33:25You've been ghosting everyone for days.
00:33:28You even turned down the mortician gigs.
00:33:30What kind of business are you in now?
00:33:36I got a night shift side job.
00:33:39Chuck.
00:33:39Take my advice.
00:33:41Some things are better left unknown.
00:33:44Fuck!
00:33:44Why all the secrecy?
00:33:47Hey, listen.
00:33:49Remember the photo of the Octo Armasura?
00:33:52Did you photoshop it?
00:33:54Sean!
00:33:55Make fun of my weight as you want.
00:33:56But show some respect for my intel.
00:33:58That photo's the real deal.
00:34:04Sean!
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?
00:34:34This 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?
00:35:04What is that?
00:35:07Sean, you came to the right guy, you know.
00:35:10The DCD is a top secret special official agency.
00:35:13Set up to handle the paranormal incidents that happen all over the country and can't be explained by science.
00:35:19Word is, there's been more and more demonic invasion.
00:35:22The DCD is short-staffed.
00:35:23They're recruiting talent nationwide.
00:35:28The DCD specializes in paranormal incidents.
00:35:31And they've taken that bronze head.
00:35:32In their internal archives, there must be some info on Bird Hammer and private museum number 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.
00:36:24Special abilities.
00:36:27Something like this.
00:36:35Huh? Sean! You! You have a special ability!
00:36:40Chuck, sign me up.
00:37:02Inside that bell, there's something alive staring at us.
00:37:07The second I walked in, I felt breathless.
00:37:09What 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. Quiet!
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.
00:38:49A-rank, a-rank, a-ranking correr.
00:39:19Water%.
00:39:35I guess 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, there are faces in there, so many faces, get out, get the hell out of my head,
00:40:12don't eat me, don't eat me.
00:40:27That'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!
00:40:50Captain 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.
00:41:34A B-Rank is way out of a C-Rank's league.
00:41:36We've been recruiting for years.
00:41:38Only a handful have passed the B-Rank trial straight up.
00:42:03Oh shit, the demon is out, it's after that guy.
00:42:31I don't feel any danger.
00:42:35I can probably take it.
00:42:39Crap!
00:42:40That rookie's got no guts at all.
00:42:41He's frozen in fear by that A-Rank 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.
00:43:04Get the hell back.
00:43:06It's a king.
00:43:07Amount.
00:43:22It's a king.
00:43:24It's a king.
00:43:25It's a queen.
00:43:26Oh, my God.
00:44:04Holy shit.
00:44:07Face 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.
00:45:18It paid off.
00:45:18With A-rank clearance, I can finally dig into private museum number nine.
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?
00:45:34There's a definite rule about demons.
00:45:37A demon's power never disappears.
00:45:39It transfers.
00:45:40Even when an S-rank demon gets put down, its 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-rank demon.
00:46:00By the said move, 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-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.
00:46:23So 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.
00:46:33Ahem, 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!
00:47:17A 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.
00:47:33Rusted 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.
00:47:45Notify 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
00:48:10duty.
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!
00:49:28Go 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!
00:51:48Shatter!
00:52:13Forged by Burt Hammer.
00:52:19Burt Hammer?
00:52:22The bronze statue of a guardian.
00:52:25What does it have to do with this A-rank demon thing?
00:52:35Burt Hammer again?
00:52:38Captain White!
00:52:39You know Burt Hammer?
00:52:41Let's head back to HQ.
00:52:44Then you will know.
00:53:10The head from Chuck's photo.
00:53:13An exact match of the one I made.
00:53:19And I never even saw the original head of that bronze warrior.
00:53:23Is this a coincidence or what?
00:53:25You okay?
00:53:26You've seen this before?
00:53:28Ah, nope.
00:53:29But this head really gives me the creeps.
00:53:34This is an S-rank demon KO'd by some mysterious demon tamer.
00:53:38Just like that A-rank centipede.
00:53:41It's got the name on it, the name of Burt Hammer.
00:53:46Captain White.
00:53:48Who is Burt Hammer anyway?
00:53:51According to the external intel we found,
00:53:53Burt Hammer was a legendary figure back in the 1920s.
00:53:57It's said that he was a legendary craftsman 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.
00:54:15Even the commander can't access them.
00:54:16All intel on Burt Hammer has been locked away in a top secret SSS-rank file called No. 9 Project
00:54:22of Demon Control.
00:54:24What? No. 9 Project of Demon Control?
00:54:27Yeah, a 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 No. 9 Project of Demon Control.
00:54:42The approval should take a few days.
00:54:44Sean, I know you're itching to go, but this is a huge deal.
00:54:48Just hang tight for now.
00:54:49I'll hit you up the second the file lands.
00:55:00Private Museum No. 9 Project of Demon Control.
00:55:04They both have No. 9 in their names.
00:55:06They 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.
00:55:13Sean, you following?
00:55:21Got it.
00:55:22I'll be waiting.
00:55:38Tonight, I'm restoring one more artifact.
00:55:40First thing next morning, I'll threaten to stop my restoration work and make Ms. Swan spill the beans.
00:55:47If she feeds me that my grandma's shit again, I'm done with this job.
00:56:15If she feeds me that my grandma's shit again, I'm done with this job.
00:56:18No kidding.
00:56:19No kidding.
00:56:19It's Rusted Centipede.
00:56:20The demon.
00:56:21We met underground during the day.
00:56:23It really came from this museum.
00:56:25But it was a tiny little thing inside here.
00:56:28Why did it turn into a monster outside?
00:56:30The artifacts here move and attack sure, 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?
00:56:46One, two, three, ten.
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 like Rusted Centipede did.
00:57:40I'll restore it tonight.
00:57:49Act like I hear nothing?
00:57:51Piece of cake.
00:58:04Can you see me?
00:58:07First rule of a mortician, never get distracted on the job.
00:58:11Why won't you answer me?
00:58:13Will you help me?
00:58:16Answer me!
00:58:28Done.
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?
00:59:06Every piece of crop here moves on its own. Don'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. The one downer restoration fee will be wired to you soon, as I promised.
00:59:45I better get every penny of that money. But besides the cash, per our deal, you'll give me an answer
00:59:52to a question.
00:59:55And it's gotta be the honest truth. So stop feeding me that my grandma shit. Don't ever lie to me
01:00:00again. Or 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? And what is its connection to the number 9 project of demon control?
01:00:14How? How do you know about that project?
01:00:17None of your business. Now, give me the truth.
01:00:25You've heard of that project, so I'll spill the beans. This private museum is actually a tomb.
01:00:32A tomb?
01:00:33Private museum number 9 is the number 9 project of demon control.
01:00:42A tomb? Whose tomb is it? And what about bird hammer? Who the hell is that? What's his role in
01:00:49this?
01:00:50Mr. Lung. I lied to you before. So 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. But then you fired off five
01:01:04more questions.
01:01:07Ms. Swan! Don't try to game the system on me!
01:01:11Rules are rules. You wanna know whose tomb this is? And who bird hammer is? Earn it. Restore more stuff
01:01:19tonight.
01:01:31Number 9 project of demon control is the museum.
01:01:35And the museum is a tomb. But whose tomb is it? Who is buried here?
01:01:51Your requested file is finally approved.
01:02:00Finally got it. What the hell?
01:02:08When I first got it, I felt shocked too. This is an incomplete file. In other words, the file got
01:02:14heavily censored. Higher ups understand that we're investigating the surge of demons. They know it's likely connected to the number
01:02:219 project.
01:02:22Actually, they went to talk with the participants of the project. But those people were stubborn. They don't want the
01:02:28file released to the DCD. That's why the higher ups can only give us these heavily censored scraps.
01:02:35Participants of the number 9 project. This project dates back over 80 years. How come the participants are still alive?
01:02:43How old would they be now?
01:02:51They've lived over 100 years. Not like that's impossible. I mean, Mrs. Swan's been around for over a century.
01:03:01Flesh is the vessel.
01:03:07Flesh is the vessel.
01:03:07Given to the seal. The seal stands.
01:03:15What does that even mean?
01:03:21Hold on 14 people but why 14 so the statue with the bird hammer tag was one of the demon
01:03:33tamers
01:03:34who died to set the seal but the museum only has 12 intact statues with the shattered one
01:03:41included that's only 13 altogether so where is the 14th one Sean bird hammer might be one of the 14
01:03:53participants of the project all 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 we got to find the real site of
01:04:05this
01:04:05project only by digging into that can we stop the demon crisis at the source i know where the side
01:04:11is but trust me that place is complicated as hell gene sean move out now an abnormal surge of demonic
01:04:25energy detected in a newly excavated suburban ancient tomb our recon team is trapped down there no idea
01:04:31if they're dead leave the team there and rescue them copy that
01:04:49crazy magnetic field strong interference the detector can't locate the recon team
01:04:57flashlight off allow me
01:05:28TIM

01:06:17feet
01:06:17of 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
01:06:40this isn't some ancient tomb this 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
01:07:17they're deeply connected with private museum number nine
01:07:20and even with those missing artifacts

01:10:54The 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 has been drained.
01:11:02And that collapsed statue, maybe it died from running out of power.

01:11:49Music, calligraphy, stone arts
01:11:50Jade arts, carpentry, pottery
01:11:52Burt Hammer was a smith
01:11:54So all the bronzes here were cast by him
01:11:56Does that mean
01:11:59Those porcelains were made by Potter
01:12:02And the bejeweled lady
01:12:03It 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
01:12:13Was made by the guardians
01:12:22I chose to become a statue
01:12:24To guard this place for a century
01:12:27The age to come
01:12:28Do not grieve
01:12:29We 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
01:13:04Were all like type text
01:13:06But these sentences
01:13:07So sloppy and rushed
01:13:09Clearly handwritten
01:13:10And the color's different
01:13:11This looks like blood
01:13:14What the hell are you?
01:13:20Holy crap
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?
01:13:58And the 14th guardian
01:13:59Where are they?
01:14:04Go ask her
01:14:05Who do you mean?
01:14:07Could it be
01:14:07Miss Swan?
01:14:11Hey
01:14:11Quit 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
01:14:22Hey buddy
01:14:23You there?
01:14:30Damn it
01:14:30Don'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
01:14:44Miss Swan
01:14:51Miss Swan
01:14:52Morning
01:14:54Looks like you didn't
01:14:55Restore any artifact
01:14:56Last night
01:14:58True
01:14:59I didn't restore
01:14:59Any broken ones
01:15:00But I did something harder
01:15:02Than restoration
01:15:02Oh
01:15:04What is it?
01:15:06I brought back two artifacts
01:15:07That went missing
01:15:08A bronze vessel
01:15:09And half a jade pendant
01:15:10I've put them back
01:15:11On their display stands
01:15:13Come again?
01:15:14For real?
01:15:15You found the artifacts
01:15:16We lost?
01:15:17While on that
01:15:18Did you run into that person?
01:15:21That person?
01:15:23Which person
01:15:24Is she asking about?
01:15:28The one who carved those words
01:15:30On the hidden chamber's wall?
01:15:32Even Miss Swan
01:15:32A slick old timer
01:15:33Is nervous
01:15:34That person's gotta be
01:15:35A true nightmare
01:15:36Yeah I did
01:15:40I was asked to pass you
01:15:41A message
01:15:42You locked him up
01:15:43For 50 years
01:15:44And now
01:15:44He's gonna destroy
01:15:45Everything you built
01:15:49Mr. Lang
01:15:50I don't know
01:15:50Where 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
01:16:00How strong I am now
01:16:03Alright
01:16:04I won't beat around the bush
01:16:10Miss Swan
01:16:11Tell me
01:16:11Should I call this thing
01:16:13A handbook
01:16:14Or should I call it
01:16:16Codex 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
01:16:24And restore more
01:16:25It also said
01:16:27That if I have questions
01:16:28I should ask you
01:16:31Miss Swan
01:16:32Let's be honest
01:16:32With each other
01:16:33I know what you want
01:16:34You want me to keep
01:16:35Restoring artifacts
01:16:36In this museum
01:16:37I can agree to that
01:16:38And keep doing this
01:16:39Life-threatening shit
01:16:40Only if you answer
01:16:40All my questions
01:16:41No more secrets or lies
01:16:49That thing is willing
01:16:51To guide you
01:16:52Guess it's really
01:16:53Accepted you
01:16:56Alright deal
01:16:57Ask me anything
01:16:58If I know it
01:16:59I'll tell you
01:17:00Question 1
01:17:01All those broken artifacts
01:17:03In the museum
01:17:04What are they?
01:17:05And also
01:17:06Why is it that
01:17:07Every time I restore them
01:17:08I end up getting
01:17:09Some crazy power boost
01:17:11Mr. Lang
01:17:12You've joined the DCD
01:17:13Haven't you?
01:17:14By now you should have
01:17:15Memorized that
01:17:15Definite rule of power
01:17:17The power of a demon
01:17:19Never disappears
01:17:19It transfers
01:17:20Right
01:17:21In this world
01:17:22Demons are immortal
01:17:23The only way to truly
01:17:25Wipe one out
01:17:26Is to have it sealed
01:17:27When you're restoring
01:17:28The broken artifacts
01:17:29You're actually having
01:17:31Them resealed
01:17:32Having them sealed
01:17:33Is the same as
01:17:34Having them killed
01:17:35That means
01:17:36The moment you have
01:17:38An artifact restored
01:17:39And resealed again
01:17:40Its power gets pulled
01:17:41Out of it
01:17:42And then
01:17:43The power transfers
01:17:45Right into you
01:17:45That's why you keep
01:17:47Getting stronger
01:17:50I see
01:17:51Question 2
01:17:52All 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 inside the museum
01:18:04Are they stuck as tiny
01:18:06Lifeless objects
01:18:06Most of them can barely even twitch
01:18:09And also
01:18:10Even I myself
01:18:11Feel so much weaker
01:18:12Whenever I'm inside here
01:18:13When I'm here
01:18:14I can't access
01:18:14Most of my power
01:18:15Actually
01:18:16That's the whole reason
01:18:18Private museum number 9
01:18:20Was built
01:18:21Inside the museum
01:18:23Every single demonic power
01:18:25Must be absolutely suppressed
01:18:27Get suppressed inside here?
01:18:31Sean
01:18:31Have you thought about this?
01:18:33Why are there only
01:18:345 main sections here?
01:18:37Bronze arts
01:18:38Jade arts
01:18:39Calligraphy and paintings
01:18:40Ceramics
01:18:42Terracotta arts
01:18:43Any story behind that?
01:18:46These 5 exhibition areas
01:18:48Were built according to
01:18:50The toughest formation there is
01:18:51The formation of 5 celestial peaks
01:18:54This museum itself
01:18:56It's one massive
01:18:57God tier magical formation
01:18:59MAN
01:19:00Oh my god
01:19:02Oh my god
01:19:08Oh my god
01:19:14Let's go.
01:19:45Let's go.
01:20:15From the statues of the Guardians, this whole formation gets its power. For a century, they've been stuck here as
01:20:23living bronze and stone. They've been burning themselves out to keep the formation running. So that the thousands of demons
01:20:30here could stay suppressed.
01:21:02The demons will tear me to shreds!
01:21:04Don't worry. You've got the Guardians in here. You'll burn our last ounce of strength. And even sacrifice the museum
01:21:11just to protect you. And to help you.
01:21:13Sean, we're out of time. That person is coming. You must go all out now. Work as fast as you
01:21:19can. Restore every last artifact in this museum. Only by restoring them can you keep getting stronger.
01:21:25In the end, you must inherit the Twelve Guardians' power and become the strongest Demon Tamer alive. Only then can
01:21:33you take their place and end this everlasting nightmare.
01:21:45Ten pieces a day, huh? I'm in.
01:21:49I landed myself with this mess after all. As a mortician, I'll strip this tomb clean. I'll wipe the demons
01:21:56all out one by one.
