Short filmTranscript
00:00:00I'm Sean Leng, a mortician who handles the bodies.
00:00:03But today, I landed a gig at a private museum as a part-time night guard.
00:00:09Why? Because the pay is insane. It's 10k a day.
00:00:16Why burn it?
00:00:17That way the agreement kicks in.
00:00:20Mr. Leng, welcome to private museum number 9.
00:00:25Listen up. You work a full month, then you get paid.
00:00:28If you don't, you will owe a crazy penalty.
00:00:32For whatever else happens, you're on your own.
00:00:42The hell is that?
00:00:44Our last night guard.
00:00:47No way a man could end up like that.
00:00:49What a heartless witch.
00:00:50So if she gets me to sign, then makes me quit to pocket the penalty fee?
00:00:54A death like that? Even I would be lost.
00:00:57Almost time. I gotta go.
00:01:03Hope you can last longer.
00:01:13Rule 1. Museum hours. Midnight to 6am. Don't show up during the day.
00:01:17Rule 2. If the eyes of the glazed funerary lion move, cover it with a red cloth.
00:01:22Do not lock eyes with it.
00:01:24Rule 3. The bleeding hairpin.
00:01:26If you hear a woman crying, act like you hear nothing.
00:01:30And don't answer any of her questions.
00:01:34Rule 4. The bronze warrior is missing its head.
00:01:38If it comes begging you for a head, toss at the mannequin head from your desk, then lock the office
00:01:42door.
00:01:52Rule 4. Who's trying to pull some ghostly crap?
00:02:00I'm a mortician.
00:02:02I've mended a corpse in pieces, all alone, in the dead of night.
00:02:06No death or horror can surprise me now.
00:02:10Rule 4. The bronze warrior is missing its head.
00:02:12Rule 4. The bronze warrior is missing its head.
00:02:14Rule 5. The bronze warrior is missing its head.
00:02:15What a dump of a museum.
00:02:16How come everything is 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.
00:03:19No bearing?
00:03:22No bearing?
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.
00:04:26To be continued...
00:04:49Perfect. True art. If that were a corpse, the grieving family would worship me.
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?
00:05:56That'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!
00:06:03Stop buying such fake edited crap! I've been a mortician for years! Never once seen any real paranormal junk! Get
00:06:09your 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!
00:07:58If it breaks again, whatever happens, you'll answer for it!
00:08:05Hey! No way! This thing was always trashed! I restored it! Why is it on me if it breaks again?
00:08:14Are you looking for an excuse to dock my pay? And hey! Tell me this! I restored it! What's in
00:08:23it for me?
00:08:24You've gotten the reward!
00:08:28What reward? I got nothing! Pretty women are the best liars! Is she trying to score something for nothing?
00:08:41Alright! You'll keep the reward you've gotten! And as the boss says, for every artifact you restore, I'll throw in
00:08:48an extra 100k!
00:08:50100k per piece? Ms. Swan, now you're talking! You could've just said you'd pay! You've got a deal! Problem solved!
00:08:58Deal! Deal! Being paid, I can restore every single artifact in this whole museum! I'll make them all shine like
00:09:04new!
00:09:19100k per piece! 10 pieces? A million! Yeah! Jackpot!
00:09:31100k per piece! 10 pieces? A million! Yeah! Jackpot!
00:09:34Tonight I'll restore another artifact!
00:09:52What happened?
00:09:57Weird! These are not natural cracks! Someone hacked at it with a sword or an axe! Who the hell did
00:10:02this?
00:10:04Is it Mrs. Swan?
00:10:06Is it Mrs. Swan? Guess not!
00:10:07That woman spent all day breathing down my neck like a forewoman!
00:10:10She never got the chance!
00:10:18Screw it! I'll patch it up!
00:10:29Gonna restore one more piece tonight!
00:10:31Also, I need to step up patrols!
00:10:34Whoever did this, you're done!
00:10:49This is it! A small chip! Easy restore!
00:10:52A small chip! Easy restore!
00:11:14Once this one's done, that's another 100k!
00:11:16Once this one's done, that's another 100k!
00:11:29That's another 100k!
00:11:31100k!
00:11:40100k!
00:11:42100k!
00:11:43100k!
00:11:45100k!
00:11:49100k!
00:11:53100k!
00:11:54What the hell?
00:11:56Where are my tools?
00:11:58Where did my tools go?
00:11:59They walked off?
00:12:04Who the heck did this?
00:12:11Gotcha.
00:12:26Nobody here?
00:12:27The one who destroyed the Octo-Arm Asura might be just the creep who swiped my tools.
00:12:33Right.
00:12:34The camera, it tells all.
00:12:44Rule 6.
00:12:45Before restoring any artifact, always check how the others around it react.
00:12:52Who'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.
00:13:02No way some metal could come to life.
00:13:05Nah, I'm being played.
00:13:06When I find out who, you're done.
00:13:09Gotta pull up the cameras.
00:13:10Then the truth will come out.
00:13:23The hell?
00:13:24No signal?
00:13:29The cameras got messed with too?
00:13:38This is the Last Guard's Diary.
00:13:42Day 1.
00:13:44I started as the night guard at this museum.
00:13:46Nothing happened the whole night.
00:13:48Easy money.
00:13:49Jackpot.
00:13:50Day 2.
00:13:51While on patrol, I accidentally found that some pieces had changed poses.
00:13:55The bronze warrior's arm was raised higher.
00:13:57The bejeweled lady was staring at me.
00:13:58Ah!
00:13:59They were not in those poses before!
00:14:01Day 3.
00:14:02I told Ms. Swan about it.
00:14:04She said it was all in my head, because 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.
00:14:13For the money, I started restoring the broken bronze mirror.
00:14:16But they don't want to be restored.
00:14:18That night, a bronze sword flew out of its display case.
00:14:20It whizzed past my scalp, almost stuck into my skull.
00:14:25I get it now.
00:14:26I shouldn't have restored that thing.
00:14:28I stared at that mirror.
00:14:29My fingers started hardening.
00:14:31It turned white.
00:14:32Like porcelain.
00:14:34I...
00:14:34I'm becoming part of it.
00:14:36If what this diary says is true, that pile of porcelain shards I saw was really the last guard.
00:14:42I see.
00:14:43Everything clicks, even why my tools got stolen.
00:14:45But this is seriously nuts.
00:14:51Wait a minute.
00:14:51While I was restoring the same mirror, I had my face right in front of it.
00:14:55I also touched it.
00:14:56Why did nothing happen to me?
00:15:00Who's there?
00:15:28Who the hell did this?
00:15:32Who the hell did this?
00:15:33Before restoring any artifacts, always check how the others around it react.
00:15:43Screw it.
00:15:44I'm restoring this mirror anyway.
00:16:00I guess I was worried for nothing.
00:16:03Can't believe I bought those shitty rules.
00:16:19I'll see you first.
00:16:20Bye-bye.
00:16:20Bye-bye.
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?
00:18:09That hunk of junk...
00:18:11Is 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?
00:18:52No, no, no, no, no!
00:19:21I'm sorry so you got to say you.
00:19:22You see, too?
00:19:23Phew, finally stopped.
00:19:52What a shame. They're all busted up.
00:20:04But, Hammer...
00:20:08You... you were smiling?
00:20:14Another creepy area. What a shitty museum, so full of creepy trouble.
00:20:36No way! My wound healed up overnight. What crazy regeneration. Am I even human anymore?
00:20:54Perfect timing!
00:20:56Guess you figured it out.
00:20:58This isn't a normal museum, is it? Those artifacts freaking move! They steal! They swing swords at me!
00:21:05This isn't just a gig! I may die for this shit! I quit! I don't care how much you pay
00:21:10me! I'm done!
00:21:11You're quitting? Mr. Leng, breaking the contract means a 10 million dollar penalty.
00:21:1710 million? I could never make that much money! Fine! I'll just be a deadbeat! Better than getting killed here!
00:21:27You think you can just walk away now?
00:21:32You restored the Octo-Arma Shura. You saw it yourself. Those things do not want to be restored.
00:21:41The Octo-Arma Shura!
00:21:45If you stay here, they may hesitate to mess with you. But if you leave, they'll follow you right out
00:21:51the door.
00:21:52If you stay here, they may hesitate to mess with you. But if you leave, they'll follow you right out
00:21:58the door.
00:21:59Huh? Stop bluffing with that crap!
00:22:02Fine, go ahead and leave. But, if you just stick around, starting tonight for every artifact you restore, your pay
00:22:12gets multiplied by 10.
00:22:14By 10? Before it was 100k per piece. And now, that's a million, right?
00:22:20Yep.
00:22:21I mean, I will do anything for that cash. But you have to tell me what the hell this museum
00:22:27is. Why does all that junk move on its own? Is this place haunted?
00:22:34Mr. Leng, you ask too many questions. At this museum, the truth costs more than anything else. You want answers?
00:22:42Fine. For every artifact you successfully restore, I'll answer one of your questions.
00:22:47Good luck. For tonight.
00:22:57Rule 7. You're safe only with the Guardians. Assume they like you.
00:23:03Another one just magically appears?
00:23:06The Guardians? So those huge bronze statues are called the Guardians? Then what are those moving things outside? They're cursed?
00:23:13Ghosts? Or maybe they are being suppressed?
00:23:18As for whether they like me, I hid there and didn't get kicked out. So I'm guessing yeah, if something
00:23:23creepy happens again tonight, I'll just go straight there.
00:23:26No idea how these rules keep showing up, but I gotta say, they tell the truth.
00:23:31Now I've got a backup plan. Gotta get to work.
00:23:34Rule 4. The Bronze Warrior is missing its head. If it comes begging you for a head, toss at the
00:23:39mannequin head from your desk, then lock the office door.
00:23:41Rule 4. The Headless Bronze Warrior. Should 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. Still, I used plaster and clay and
00:23:56sculpted 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.
00:25:17Wait here.
00:25:42All right, you want to head, huh?
00:25:44The original one is gone, but I've made you an exact replica.
00:25:54What the heck?
00:26:07Perfect.
00:26:08One million, baby.
00:26:14What the hell?
00:26:15I'm burning.
00:26:25Team A's gone dark.
00:26:26Team B is shattered.
00:26:28Team C, all of Team C just flatlined.
00:26:34Team C, all of Team C, all of Team C, all of Team C.
00:26:43Team C, all of Team C, all of Team C.
00:26:50Team C, all of Team C, all of Team C, all of Team C, all of Team C, all of
00:26:54Team C.
00:26:54Team C, all of Team C in the last 72 hours, the demonic invasion in town has tripled, and the
00:27:05most dangerous one.
00:27:06Codename confirmed, Bronze Head.
00:27:08So far, HQ has lost three A-ranked Demon Tamers and seven B-ranked Demon Tamers.
00:27:14With just a head, it's likely S-rank strong.
00:27:17You bet it is. It'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... we lost the Demon's Trace.
00:27:42Pull up the last feed!
00:27:48Body? Where's my body?
00:27:52It found a lead on its body!
00:28:24Is it...completely dead now?
00:28:26Is it...completely dead now?
00:28:37Bird Hammer? Who's that?
00:28:40The Forger.
00:28:44This S-ranked 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?
00:28:55That thing is at least S-ranked 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?
00:29:12Hmm?
00:29:13What's this?
00:29:15What'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.
00:29:52Almost a century ago.
00:29:57If this is really Ms. Swan.
00:30:00Then she's been alive for over a century?
00:30:21Ms. Swan.
00:30:22Morning.
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.
00:30:40The 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.
00:31:29What's the big deal?
00:31:30The one that will hit your account on time.
00:31:32I've got things to do.
00:31:34Bye.
00:31:39Your grandma?
00:31:40Your grandma wore the same heels as you?
00:31:43Ms. Swan?
00:31:44The woman in that photo?
00:31:46Is you?
00:31:51A woman who has lived 100 years.
00:31:53And those busted and creepy artifacts.
00:31:56This museum is hiding something huge.
00:32:00Don't think she'll tell me the truth.
00:32:01I gotta dig into it.
00:32:07This museum's been around for ages.
00:32:09There must be something about it online.
00:32:21No results found?
00:32:23This is a museum in the downtown.
00:32:35Bingo!
00:32:37The eccentrics of the 1920s?
00:32:40Just 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.
00:33:06Guess 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!
00:33:25Sean!
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.
00:33:44Fuck!
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.
00:33:59That photo's the real deal.
00:34:04Sean, check this out.
00:34:06It's a demon!
00:34:07This pic just got dropped.
00:34:09Got nuked from the internet right away.
00:34:10Wiped everywhere.
00:34:11But I grabbed a screenshot.
00:34:13I was so quick!
00:34:22Wait.
00:34:24Isn't that the head I sculpted last night?
00:34:26For the headless bronze warrior?
00:34:28That's just the head.
00:34:33Slack-jawed, huh?
00:34:35This bronze head was going around killing people.
00:34:38All the while crying for its body.
00:34:40Lots of people got killed.
00:34:41So Miss Swan wasn't lying to me.
00:34:43Leaving the museum brings huge trouble.
00:34:46What happened next?
00:34:47Where did that thing go?
00:34:49See, you're clueless.
00:34:52The demon control division was on it.
00:34:55They've taken care of that head and taken it away.
00:35:00Demon control division?
00:35:04What is that?
00:35:07Sean, you came to the right guy, you know.
00:35:10The DCD is a top-secret special official agency set up to handle the paranormal incidents 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?
00:35:46I want to join them.
00:35:51Holy crap, you lost your mind.
00:35:53That's a special official agency.
00:35:55Those guys exercise demons.
00:35:57They are legends.
00:35:57No way I'd know big shots like that.
00:35:59But you said they're recruiting talent.
00:36:02They are.
00:36:03But they've got crazy bars.
00:36:06If you prove you've got some special ability and pass their trials, they'll let you in by exception.
00:36:24Special abilities.
00:36:27Something like this.
00:36:35Huh?
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?
00:37:12What?
00:37:18Thanks for joining the DCD's trials.
00:37:21I'm Jean White, the examiner and deputy captain of the DCD.
00:37:25Our recruitment standard is pretty simple.
00:37:27The strong stay, the weak out.
00:37:30You see that bell?
00:37:32Inside it is a trapped A-ranked demon.
00:37:35Codename, Face Eater.
00:37:38You 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-ranked demonic energy, you get to become a trainee demon tamer.
00:37:57If you can withstand C-ranked energy, you get to become a C-ranked demon tamer.
00:38:02If 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.
00:38:44Wonder what level I can reach.
00:38:47The test starts now.
00:39:10My face!
00:39:13My face is killing me!
00:39:36Guess I've got this test in the bag.
00:39:43Seriously? That insane?
00:39:47Keep going. Take it to C rank.
00:40:04I saw it! There are faces in there! So many faces!
00:40:09Get out! Get the hell out of my ass!
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!
00:40:51Captain White! B rank! Seriously?
00:40:53I've got it! Relax!
00:41:06Give me your face! Your face is so perfect!
00:41:08Let 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.
00:41:42Wait! Check that rookie out!
00:42:03Oh shit! The demon is out! It's after that guy!
00:42:06Fall back!
00:42:29Come on! Run now!
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!
00:42:44He 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!
00:43:31God damn!
00:43:48What the fuck?
00:43:52You're a king!
00:43:56You're a king!
00:43:58I haven't heard that!
00:44:04holy shit face eater the a-rank demon is gone that rookie wasted it and crushed the bell
00:44:13with just one freaking strike
00:44:21wait is this really a test for rookies he punched an a-rank demon into oblivion

00:45:25your power feels weird
00:45:27it isn't anything you train 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
00:45:36a demon's power never disappears
00:45:39it transfers
00:45:40even when an s-rank demon gets put down
00:45:43its power doesn't vanish
00:45:45it jumps straight to the demon's killer
00:45:52a demon's power never disappears
00:45:54it transfers
00:45:57you just killed face eater
00:45:58the a-rank demon
00:45:59by the said move
00:46:00you've now inherited its power
00:46:02and you've gotten some power before that
00:46:04according to our assessment
00:46:06you're at least a top a-rank

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.
00:51:35How dare you snarl at me.
00:51:47How dare you snarl at me.
00:51:49Shatter!
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, you know Burt Hammer?
00:52:41Let's head back to HQ.
00:52:44Then you will know.
00:53:11The head from Chuck's photo. 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.
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, 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.
00:54:00With hands that could work magic and breathe spirit into dead things.
00:54:04However, when it comes to his life story and how he died, 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.
00:54:17All intel on Burt Hammer has been locked away in a top secret SSS-rank file called Number 9 Project
00:54:22of Demon Control.
00:54:24What? Number 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 Number 9 Project of Demon Control.
00:54:42The approval should take a few days.
00:54:44Sean, I know you're itching to go, but this is a huge deal.
00:54:48Just hang tight for now. I'll hit you up the second the file lands.
00:55:00Private Museum Number 9.
00:55:02Number 9 Project of Demon Control.
00:55:04They both have Number 9 in their names.
00:55:06They are both related to Burt Hammer.
00:55:08No way.
00:55:09So that museum has another role other than a building full of creepy artifacts.
00:55:14Sean, you following?
00:55:21Got it. I'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.
00:56:14Missing?
00:56:18No kidding. It's Rusted Centipede.
00:56:20The demon.
00:56:21We met underground during the day.
00:56:23It really came from this museum.
00:56:25But it was a tiny little thing inside here.
00:56:28Why did it turn into a monster outside?
00:56:30The artifacts here move and attack, sure.
00:56:32But they're no match for the A-Rank and S-Rank demons outside in size and strength.
00:56:36What the hell is going on?
00:56:461, 2, 3, 10.
00:57:10Over 30 empty display stands, each with a missing tag.
00:57:16So that means...
00:57:18There are at least 30 more demons out there going around killing people, like Rusted Centipede did.
00:57:28There are at least 30 more demons out there going around killing people, like Rusted Centipede.
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.
00:58:09Never get distracted on the job.
00:58:11Why won't you answer me?
00:58:13Will you help me?
00:58:16Answer me!
00:58:41I heard it.
00:58:42These 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.
00:59:34I 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, so 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?
01:00:33Private 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. 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.
01:01:03But 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?
01:01:16Earn 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?
01:01:50Your requested file is finally approved.
01:02:00Finally got it.
01:02:03What 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.
01:02:19They know it's likely connected to the number nine project.
01:02:22Actually, they went to talk with the participants of the project.
01:02:25But 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.
01:02:58I mean, Mrs. Swan's been around for over a century.
01:03:01Flesh is the vessel.
01:03:06Given to the seal.
01:03:08The seal stands.
01:03:15What does that even mean?
01:03:20Hold on.
01:03:24Fourteen people.
01:03:26But why fourteen?
01:03:29So the statue with the Burt Hammer tag
01:03:32was 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,
01:03:42that's only thirteen altogether.
01:03:43So where is the fourteenth one?
01:04:10I know where the site is, but trust me.
01:04:14I know where the site is, but trust me.
01:04:15I know where the site is, but 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
01:04:26detected 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.
01:05:57Sean.
01:05:59You've finally made it.
01:06:02Check this wall.
01:06:12No way.
01:06:13The patterns of these rooms,
01:06:14they look the same as the ones
01:06:16from those golden markings at the feet
01:06:17of the Guardians.
01:06:35The size and shape of this slot,
01:06:37it's an exact match 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.
01:06:46Sean, look at this.
01:06:51You locked me up for 50 years.
01:06:53And now, I'm going to 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.
01:07:31Can't explain it right now.
01:07:33You were a huge help in this rescue.
01:07:35So yeah, you can take them.
01:07:39Thanks.
01:07:39Thanks.
01:07:43I don't know.
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.
01:08:24Miss 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.
01:09:10None.
01:09:11No matter what.
01:09:14The minute he joined the DCD, he 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.
01:09:26Sean.
01:09:28What are you really?
01:09:351, 2, 3, 11, 12.
01:09:45This smashed one included.
01:09:47That makes 13 statues in total.
01:09:49But it was 14 demon tamers giving away their flesh as the vessels.
01:09:54The 14th one.
01:09:56Who is it really?
01:09:57Where'd it go?
01:10:17Asking for trouble, scam?
01:10:18Come on.
01:10:51I get it now.
01:10:53Hey, you.
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.
01:11:03And that collapsed statue?
01:11:04Maybe it died from running out of power.
01:11:08Was that you protecting me just now?
01:11:18No.
01:11:26Burthammer, the smith.
01:11:27Ryder, the martial artist.
01:11:29Potter, the potter.
01:11:31Webb, the weaver.
01:11:33Hopper, the musician.
01:11:35Black, the calligrapher.
01:11:36Stone, the carver.
01:11:38Lacquer, the painter.
01:11:40Jade, the engraver.
01:11:41Wood, the carpenter.
01:11:45Forging, painting, carving, weaving, lacquer arts, music, calligraphy, stone arts, jade arts, carpentry, pottery.
01:11:53Burthammer was a smith.
01:11:54So all the bronzes here were cast by him.
01:11:57Does that mean...
01:11:58Those 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.
01:12:25To guard this place for a century.
01:12:27The age to come.
01:12:28Do not grieve.
01:12:30We 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.
01:13:09Clearly handwritten.
01:13:10And the color's different.
01:13:12This looks like blood.
01:13:14What the hell are you?
01:13:20Holy 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?
01:14:06Could it be Miss 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?
01:14:29Damn 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 Miss Swan.
01:14:51Miss Swan.
01:14:52Morning.
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, a slick old timer, is nervous.
01:15:34That person's gotta be a true nightmare.
01:15:36Yeah, I did.
01:15:40I was asked to pass you a message.
01:15:42You locked him up for 50 years.
01:15:44And now, he's gonna destroy everything you built.
01:15:49Mr. Lang, I don't know where you heard that.
01:15:51But if you really ran into that person,
01:15:54given your poor skills,
01:15:55no way you'd make it back alive.
01:15:57Damn it!
01:15:58She's belittling me.
01:15:59She has no idea how strong I am now.
01:16:03All right.
01:16:04I won't beat around the bush.
01:16:10Miss Swan, tell me.
01:16:12Should I call this thing a handbook?
01:16:14Or should I call it Codex of the Oracle?
01:16:19What?
01:16:20You talked with it?
01:16:22What did it tell you?
01:16:23It said I gotta stay alive and restore more.
01:16:25It also said that if I have questions,
01:16:28I should ask you.
01:16:31Miss Swan, let's be honest with each other.
01:16:33I know what you want.
01:16:35You want me to keep restoring artifacts in this museum?
01:16:37I can agree to that,
01:16:38and keep doing this life-threatening shit.
01:16:40Only if you answer all my questions.
01:16:41No more secrets or lies.
01:16:49That 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, I'll tell you.
01:17:00Question one.
01:17:01All those broken artifacts in the museum,
01:17:04what are they?
01:17:05And also,
01:17:06why is it that every time I restore them,
01:17:08I end up getting some crazy power boost?
01:17:11Mr. Lang,
01:17:12you've joined the DCD, haven't you?
01:17:14By now,
01:17:14you should have memorized that definite rule of power.
01:17:18The 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,
01:17:30you're actually having them desailed.
01:17:32Having them sealed is the same as having them killed.
01:17:35That means,
01:17:37the moment you have an artifact restored and resealed again,
01:17:40its power gets pulled out of it.
01:17:42And then,
01:17:43the power transfers right into you.
01:17:46That's why you keep getting stronger.
01:17:50I see.
01:17:52Question two.
01:17:53All those busted artifacts are freaking terrifying demons.
01:17:58And the ones that got lost out there
01:18:00have world-shattering power.
01:18:02But why,
01:18:03inside the museum,
01:18:04are they stuck as tiny lifeless objects?
01:18:07Most of them can barely even twitch.
01:18:09And also,
01:18:10even I myself feel so much weaker whenever I'm inside here.
01:18:13When I'm here,
01:18:13I 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 five main sections here?
01:18:37Bronze arts,
01:18:38jade arts,
01:18:39calligraphy and paintings,
01:18:41ceramics,
01:18:41terracotta arts.
01:18:43Any story behind that?
01:18:46These five exhibition areas
01:18:48were built according to
01:18:49the toughest formation there is,
01:18:52the formation of five celestial peaks.
01:18:54This museum itself,
01:18:56it's one massive god-tier magical formation.
01:19:39It's one massive character.
01:19:41This museum is in total dependence.
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.
01:20:39The Guardians' power is almost drained dry.
01:20:42The formation will soon fall.
01:20:47So listen, forget our old rules.
01:20:50Starting tonight, you're not restoring just one artifact a day.
01:20:53Instead, you'll restore at least ten pieces every day.
01:20:58Ten pieces a day?
01:20:59Holy crap, that's a death sentence!
01:21:02The demons will tear me to shreds!
01:21:03Don't worry.
01:21:05You've got the Guardians in here.
01:21:07You'll burn our last ounce of strength.
01:21:09And even sacrifice the museum just to protect you.
01:21:12And to help you.
01:21:14Sean, we're out of time.
01:21:15That person is coming.
01:21:16You must go all out now.
01:21:18Work as fast as you can.
01:21:20Restore every last artifact in this museum.
01:21:23Only by restoring them can you keep getting stronger.
01:21:25In the end, you must inherit the Twelve Guardians' power and become the strongest Demon Trainer 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.
01:21:59I'll wipe the demons all out one by one.
