Discovery of jiangshi in a cave

Kwok, an archaeologist, leads two students into a remote cave and uncovers three jiangshi—an adult male, an adult female, and a male child—immobilized by talismans on their foreheads. They ferry the creatures back to Kwok's lab to study and potentially exploit them. Kwok immediately decides to sell the boy vampire on the black market.
