Summary[edit | edit source]
Doctor Kaori Kagami holds Kō Risa at gunpoint and recounts her time at the Madrid facility and how a riot had broken out before she could investigate Shao Jun's memories further. The doors open and guards begin to force Risa back into the Animus.
Shao Jun sits alone and tends to her equipment until Xiao Hu attacks from above. Shao Jun easily counters his attack and offers some constructive criticism on his technique. Meanwhile, both she and her apprentice talk about how the Mongols, led by Altan Khan, are amassing an army to attack the Great Wall. Shao Jun believes that the Mongols would not be so bold as to raid the Great Wall unless they were confident about victory, and suspects that a mole is helping them. Surmising the Mongols' attack to be imminent, the two Assassins leave for the Great Wall.
