But it's in times of crisis like this that we

Ourvillage must be united now.

Ms. Noe.

We may be poor, but we have lived with pure hearts.

Only Ms. Noe has the power to put everyone's minds at ease.

He lost his finger in an accident as a child.

The whole village knows.

Ms. Noe.

Thankyou.

Enough feminine charm!

What crime have we committed?

We were discussing stopping subiection ofwomen

and making aworld where everyone can workequally.

What can women do?

We can give birth.

You askwhat can women do, but where did you come from?

Acabbage patch? Or a stork?

This woman!

Get out of here!

Stop! Stop it now!

Arrest the all!

Tell us everything.

Let's split.

Yeah.

Let them pass.

Yeah.

Where are they?

Those damn villagers.

Who's this?

Give me that!

Asword.

What's this for?

To kill the demons.

Demons?

How amusing. You're out chasing demons?

Woman! You mean to mockus?

Say something.

She's kind of cute.

It's a stranger.

But it's a girl.

They'll get us. Let's escape!

They'll do horrible things to her.

Idiot!

Stop!

What's this?

You!

Drop the sword.

You!

Retreat!

Retreat!

Are you human?

You smell slightly ofthem.

Them?

The ones l hunt.

Take me somewhere safe.

Safe?

Let's go.

Ok.

Walk.

This is it.

At least take offyour shoes.

No one's here. I live alone now.

Want some tea?

No.

L told you, there's nothing.

That sword ofyours.

Who is it meant for?

Don't tell me your out for vengeance or something.

It's not the age of samurai.

Agirl like you,

you'd lookbetter holding some prettyflowers

in afield somewhere, ifyou askme.

Get with the times. Be modern.

Stop talking like a little girl. If l wanted to l could cut out yourtongue.

Understood.

Are the shp afteryou?

After us?

They harass us for no reason.

We're onlytalking about the future of ourvillage.

So they're out for commies.

We're not commies!

Neither Mr. Osugi or Ms. Noe have radical beliefs.

Are you familiarwith the name "elder bairns"?

Elder bairns?

Never heard ofthat. What is it?

Put simply, monsters.

Demons, asuras.

Asuras?

There is an asura statue.

Where is it?

Out on the hilltop.

Wait!

What?

You'll be caught if you go out at night.

The shp.

They can't do forced searches, but still, it's dangerous.

You're right.

Where will you stay?

No lodgings here. Maybe the next town?

L'll iust sleep anywhere.

Girls mustn't sleep rough.

L can't let a girl sleep outside.

How about sleeping here fortonight?

Ary otherfamily?

L have an older sister who's in hospital.

Just us two?

L won't do anything.

It'll be fine. There's a separate room.

Even afuton.

Aright, l'll take your offer.

Good.

Actually, l was a bit lonesome all alone.

There's something comforting about having you around.

You're like an older sister.

What's your name?

Saya.

Saya?

That's a nice name.

What are you doing?

L don't want it to get wrinkled.

Oh, l see.

What's with this girl?

Why don't you tell us?

Screwyou. I'm not telling you anything.

That's enough.

This fucking dog.

Throw him outside.

L was dreaming.

It could be the shp.

Coming!

Special higher police!

Takagi.

You really had me.

Sorry. But it's good to see you made it backsafe.

Yeah, that was a close call.

Still, stay sharp.

The shp are still on the prowl.

Can l come in?

It's not a good time.

Don't tell you've got a girl in there.

What are you thinking?

We escaped from the shp together.

So you tookher home?

Right when ran goes away?

You can't tell my sister.

L won't.

L won't cause her any excess grief.

L promise.

Swear on the 3faces?

Swear on the six arms.

Keep your eye on her.

Why?

She could be a spy.

But she fought them.

It could've been a ploy.

Hey.

Can l use this?

L don't thinkso.

She's your responsibility. Keep close and watch her.

Me?

For Ms. Noe.

For Ms. Noe?

Hey.

Can l eat this?

Yesterday,

one ofthe shpwas killed.

Again?

In the same way as the soldier.

They're desperate to find the killer.

Watch out foryourself.

This is the meeting place.

Stand byforthe time.

Bye for now. Take care.

Um...

Hey.

L'm going out now.

Want to come with me?

She stinks. Let's go.

You idiot!

Lookwhere you're going!

L'm sorry!

What's wrong?

What is this place?

Aclinic. My sister is here.

L brought a change of clothes.

Go ahead.

Ran.

Ren.

This smell... Ls it blood?

Does it smell in here?

This is a hospital. Weiust performed an autopsy.

Ar autopsy?

We have to cooperate with the shp.

We're the only hospital in the area.

Who's she?

Saya.

She's newto the village.

Oh.

L'm ren's sister, ran.

Sorry l can't greet you properly.

Don't mind.

She needs to rest.

Ok.

Sorryyou have to leave so soon.

Don't worry. Rest well.

Is doctor mokuren in today?

The doctor is at a conference in Tokyo.

Doctor mokuren?

The doctorwho's been attending to my sister.

Can l help you?

No, it's nothing.

Oh, there's something l must tell you.

Yes?

Ran's attacks are occurring at an accelerating pace.

Is medicine alone not enough?

We're trying a stronger drug.

But it's onlytreating her symptoms.

We'll have to wait and see.

Thankyou.

Asuras, thouyeaming forblood

be exorcisedfrom this worid

Ms. Raicho.

We're cursed.

The demons will return to this village.

Long ago, they came and impregnated awoman with a demon baby.

That demon ate sixvillagers.

When the demon disappeared,

it left only six arms ofthe villagers it devoured.

That'siust a story. There's no curse.

It's a curse.

It's a curse.

There they are. Sayawill be happytoo.

Masuko?

You're ok? We were worried.

L was hiding these from the shp.

L wanted to save them for my sister.

Can it be our secret?

Damnit!

Those bastards.

Masuko?

L can't take it anymore.

L'll kill them myself.

Ms. Noe has forbidden it.

Ren.

If it keeps going like this, they'll kill us all.

Masuko!

The three faced, six-armed asura statue?

No one knows who made it.

It's been here forever, looking down on the village.

But there's nothing here.

No, there's people.

Weiust live here.

There's no future for a closed village like this.

People born hereiust die and return to the earth.

What happened here?

Serial killings. Three dead already.

First was a soldier supervising the village.

Military is here?

The army.

The shp have a base there too.

It's rumored the killings investigation isiust afront to hunt communists.

That explains it.

Ms. Noe is doing whatever it takes to salvage the village's future.

We have to be united to build the future.

"Resist or die.

Abloodyfight, or nothing."

Lfthere's no future here, why don't you leave?

My sister is here.

She has an unknown blood disease.

She can't move around and she must remain here.

Dr. Mokuren's orders.

Is it because of my gloomy expression?

It's a curse.

It's the curse ofthe elder bairns.

He's a sacrifice!

We heard you.

The curse.

We heard you. Let's go.

It's no curse. Of course it was the shpwho killed masuko.

We can't knowthat for sure. They have been killed too.

Then what? Someone from this village?

Maybe, maybe not.

Who's the girl?

Adistant relative of ren.

First l've heard ofthat.

She's a relative of my aunt's cousin's cousin...

Enough from you!

Girl, where are you from?

Tokyo.

Tokyo?

Don't take us for idiots! You workforthem, don't you?

You little bitch!

Stop it now!

Ms. Noe.

L'm sorry. We're all veryworked up.

L'm fine. Lt's nothing.

Thankyou.

Everyone.

Arger solves nothing.

Let us observe a moment of silence forthe fallen.

L will go speakwith them.

L'm going too.

Ms. Noe.

You must let us handle this.

But...

Hirata.

Ifwe act out now, it will iust give the shp an excuse.

They call us communist and blame us forthe killings.

L understand.

This wasn't the work of an amateur.

They knew howto use a sword.

Was it not a beast, like a bear?

See the wound?

Yes.

The beast would've had to be over 3 meters tall.

Bears leave marks on trees to marktheirterritory.

Lieutenant, there's a girl student newto the village.

So?

Well, she was in possession of a sword.

You're saying ayoung girl could use a sword to kill one of us?

The most a girl could do with a sword is stab.

Aslashing fatal blow would be impossible.

Indeed, that's true sir.

Ifwe don't find a suspect, we'll be deemed incompetent.

But little evidence exists...

Shut up!

Evidence can wait.

First, find anyone suspicious.

Whatever it takes.

Yes sir!

Ary lead you find, grab it and reel it in.

We've got word that the autopsy is finished.

We go now.

Ren.

L'm feeling a little bettertoday.

Really?

What are you doing here?

They're here as a sponsor. This man had no family.

Ifyou'll allow us to attend please.

What has the inquest found?

Similarto the officer who was killed,

the cause of death was severe blood loss.

So it's the same killer?

That's foryou to decide.

Someone from this village?

The possibility cannot be denied. However,

it couldiust as easily be one ofyour men.

This poor man.

Let us first mourn the dead. We have time to find the killer.

You women...

What about women?

We're finished here. We'll take the body into holding.

Yes sir.

You see something?

No, nothing.

It's the fingerless coward.

Oh, him.

The records said his name is ren.

Who's the girl?

His older sister ran, l think.

Ran, huh?

Find anything?

No sir.

Let's return to hq.

You watch this clinic. Arswer me!

L'll guard this clinic, sir!

Ran.

Ran.

What are you doing?

Leave me alone!

You cut offyour own finger?

To avoid going to war?

No, that's not it.

If not foryourself, then forwho?

Ran?

This is the onlything l can do.

It's to protect my sister.

Make one sound, you and your brother are dead.

She's gone.

Let's go.

Wait.

This will be over soon. Stay still.

Let go!

Let go!

Fuck!

The woman.

The woman?

What's wrong?

Hold him!

Get a hold ofyourself. Calm down.

What are you doing?

Akayama!

Akayama!

He's like a rabid dog, or possessed by a demon.

Akayama, choose. You can come backto your senses

or die.

Lieutenant, help me.

Carrythe body away.

Yes sir!

Ran.

Ren.

L'm sorry.

L'm sorry.

It's ok.

L'll protect you ren.

It's the curse!

The curse!

Things are getting worse.

Mr. Ohsugi, will the prefecture still not help us?

Ms. Noe, the prefecture isn't getting involved.

Then the government?

It's awaste.

Will no one hearthis village's screams?

When did this become such a cold country?

Ms. Noe, it was neither the prefecture northe government.

L was reporting to...

Noe lto, you're under arrest for murder.

This must be a mistake. She was with me all night.

Can you prove it?

No, nothing you could call proof.

You want toioin?

Ms. Noe.

L'll go too.

Mr. Ohsugi.

Fine. You can testify as awitness.

Thankyou.

Wait.

What are they accused of?

We witnessed a murder scene.

That can't be.

We'll be fine. This isiust a misunderstanding.

We'll be backsoon.

Move!

What the hell?

She's being framed.

What are we going to do?

Let's leave it to ohsugi.

Ifwe make awrong move, we'll play right into their hands.

Ran, leave this village with me.

Ren, l will protect you.

No, it's myturn to protect you now.

L won't let anyone harm you.

L belong to you.

The elder bairns' blood grows restive.

L must drawthem out and slaythem.

It could get ugly. Can you handle it alone?

L'll go tell our superiors. I plan to be backsoon.

It's alright.

Hunting is the onlything thatiustifies my existence.

So you murdered akayama?

No, l had nothing to do with it.

L see. You seekto denythe truth.

You're here to coverfor her?

No sir. I know nothing ofthis.

Is that so?

Torture?

L won't succumb to threats.

L won't be doing anything.

L'll give you time to think, and aweapon.

One ofyou will kill the other before the sand falls.

The deceased will take the blame.

The one that lives will walkfree.

But that's...

L'm generous.

But one more rule.

If both ofyou still live, the whole village will atone.

Manchuria could use more forced laborers.

You alright?

Ran.

L want it.

L want it.

Ok.

L'll protect you, ran.

Ren.

My ren.

Time is almost up. What will it be?

Ms. Noe, you're some woman.

Too good for ohsugi.

Ms. Noe, l love you.

Mr. Ohsugi!

What a bore!

This wraps up the killings. The suspect committed suicide.

You can choose yourfuture.

You can end it byyour own hand

or l can do it foryou.

Delicious.

Is it under control now?

L'm alright.

Good.

There's more fingers left.

Stay out ofthis.

Saya.

The gate has opened.

The gate?

The gate the elder bairns pass across.

Return to yourworld!

Stop!

Out ofthe way!

L have to protect my sister!

Do you know how many people it has devoured!

That's why l had her eat me.

She's been possessed bythe elder bairns.

If l don't kill her, many people will die.

You're going to kill my sister?

The demon must die, or scores will perish.

L want to protect humans.

L have to go, too.

They came out.

Mr. Ohsugi.

During questioning about the serial killings,

he committed suicide.

This ends the investigation. Collect the body.

What about Ms. Noe?

This man also killed her.

You liar!

You reveal yourselves! Commies!

Shut up!

It's the curse!

The curse!

It's no curse. This is reality.

They're all guilty! Execute them all!

Yes sir!

Good evening.

Ar emergency?

No, l wanted to speakwith you, Dr. Mokuren.

What is this about?

About ran's blood disease.

What concerns you?

L heard a rumor.

What kind of rumor?

About a secret plan of the military

to increase momentum on the continent

they're making invincible soldiers for an immortal unit.

You know, don't you?

Why did you shoot me?

Die!

Now a monster shows up? Shoot it! Kill it!

You bitch!

How about that?

You know, don't you Dr.?

The experiments done in this village.

The incident at ren's house sixyears ago.

L'm not familiar, no.

Instead oftaking the bodyto the police

it was taken to an army base.

That's when l started checking around.

Clues were hard to find, until one night

village chief got drunk and said too much.

That he was getting money from the army.

Oh?

He was selling us villagers.

Forthe military research, to turn people into demons.

They used the same medicine you were giving to ran.

This medicine?

You used that to experiment on ran.

Since sixyears ago, forthe military.

Well it wasn't limited to ran.

For ren, his presence

was the ideal embodiment ofthe elder bairns.

Elder bairns?

Ran was like a lid, keeping him in check.

Her condition was nothing but a shadow

ofthe elder bairns that lie dormant in ren.

If she dies,

the true elder bairns will awaken.

What happens ifthey awaken?

Everyone will die.

That can't be true.

They've existed since time eternal.

Fallen, nameless gods.

Not allowed to live in this world

they live in the shadows ofthe otherworld.

We onlywanted to harness their paranormal power.

So you used them to create an immortal fighting force.

No.

To see howfarthey could be controlled.

We were merely curious. Call it intellectual desire.

That's crazy.

Is it though?

Aren't all humansiust the same?

From when we're babies, weiust want to know.

Curiosity has taken us this far.

It was your curiositythat brought you here, no?

Ard nowyou'll paythe price.

Dr. Mokuren!

Take me with you.

But l didiust as you said!

Ran.

You've destroyed my unit!

Stop!

Hateful!

This whole world is hateful!

Humans, and destiny.

Oh no. Ren. You too?

Saya.

Kill me.

While l'm still human.

L can't kill people.

L don't want to make my sister suffer.

Thankyou.

L'm sorry.

Help me.

Save me.

Sorry.

Long live the empire ofjapan!

You're lucky. You've been freed from this hellish spiral.

Or are you unlucky?

This country is now at the doorstep oftrue hell.

Alow us to take you to the future you have chosen.

Ladyamino.

Turn everything to ash.

Understood.

Make this afestival fitting to the awakening ofthe asura.

Burn it all.

L couldn't save them, again.
