THE SOUL GUARDIANS

Darkness is soaked in pouring rain. A gas bomb is dropped through the window of an eerie building. An armed task force takes the building by surprise, only to find the remnants of a gruesome ritual. The scent of death fills the room and suddenly a drop of blood falls on the gas mask of a soldier. When they look up, they see a mountain of dead bodies piled up on the ceiling. Among the corpses, they find someone who’s still alive, a pregnant woman. Taken into hospital, the woman dies immediately after bearing a baby girl. It was an uncanny night of life and death.
