That's right, the ceiling of a modern building.

A blonde girl in a white lab coat approached with some concern and asked, "Are you okay?" ”

Old Song sat up suddenly, like a drowning man, gulping in on the fresh air.

To be precise, not Lao Song, but another person.

At the moment when the picture appeared, Lao Song really had the illusion of "whether he had crossed over", because everything around him was completely a modern scene, and the accuracy of the scene was very high.

However, as he sat up, the game's vision changed, and Lao Song understood what was going on.

Dressed in white, Desmond sat up from the animus machine, apparently the one who was being manipulated by Old Song before.

However, why did Assassin's Creed travel to modern times? This is a question that makes Lao Song extremely puzzling.

But soon, the plot was clarified.

The character played by Song in the game is called Desmond, and the two white coats in front of him belong to Abstergo, who kidnapped Desmond and conducted an experiment.

Ostensibly, Desmond was just a bartender, but in reality, he had Assassin blood, and the lab coats needed to use Desmond's genetic information to travel back in time to his ancestors in search of some information.

To be precise, it is not a time travel, but a reproduction of the memories of the ancestors. The doctor in a white coat also deliberately taught the old Song science the principle of animus, that is, reading genetic memory.

However, most of the ancestor's memories are locked down, and when Desmond enters "unprepared", he is kicked out by this memory. Therefore, Desmond can only enter from a relatively stable memory, and by constantly achieving synchronization, he can unlock new memories and obtain the information he wants.

Obviously, Desmond was kidnapped, he was just an ordinary person, and even if he wanted to escape from here, there was nothing he could do but obediently enter Animus.

After that, there is a teaching session, which is the teaching of the "consciousness control system".

Desmond entered Animus to become the Assassin in White, and then learned Assassin techniques, including stealth, assassination, combat, hiding, blending into crowds, and more.

All the teaching takes place in the interface of Animus, and although this teaching seems stiff, after adding the packaging of Animus, it is surprisingly in line with the plot setting. After all, Desmond's current state is very similar to Lao Song, both of them are "playing games".

"I see, no wonder there's a modern person in the propaganda CG, it should be this protagonist, right?"

"Dedicated to Animus for a modern story? Daintily. ”

"This also explains the previous bugs, which are indeed deliberately made because of the unstable condition of Animus?"

"It's a two-story story, first playing Desmon, and then Desmond playing the ancient assassin? Decent. ”

Because Lao Song played "Assassin's Creed: Origin" first, and the version produced by Chen Mo has no modern plot for the time being, so after seeing the modern plot in "Assassin's Creed: Revelations", Lao Song's first reaction was still a little confused.

But if you think about it, this actually makes sense, and the most obvious advantage is that it naturally explains some of the basic settings of the game, such as what animus is, how it works, synchronization rate, consciousness operation guidelines, and so on.

After completing the synchronization and the teaching of the consciousness control system, Desmond re-entered the memory of his ancestors, and Lao Song was equivalent to experiencing this memory as Desmond.

This is an Assassin named Altaïr, the same white-clad Assassin who appears in the promotional CG.

In one of the earliest operations in the memory timeline, Altaïr was shown to have acted with two other Assassins, but his actions were questioned by another Assassin for exposing himself to the Templars by killing an innocent person.

Altaïr had been emphasizing the Assassins' credo that everything was false and everything was allowed, but another Assassin countered that the Assassins could not kill innocents, expose themselves, or endanger the Brotherhood, but it was clear that Altaïr would not listen to them.

Eventually, due to Altaïr's recklessness, the operation failed. Not only that, but the Templars also pursued Masyaf, the headquarters of the Assassin Order, and a scuffle ensued. Although the Assassins were victorious, the Mentor could not tolerate Altaïr's actions and stabbed him with a dagger.

This is the first chapter of the ancient plot, and it is also equivalent to a didactic chapter.

In addition to familiarizing players with the operation, this scene at the beginning directly raises a key question.

What exactly is Assassin's Creed?

In fact, the answer has been given in the promotional CG for a long time, that is, "everything is false, everything is allowed". But if anything can be done, why was the Mentor so angry when Altaïr killed the innocent old man?

Obviously, many players who first heard the phrase "everything is false, everything is allowed" had the same misconceptions as Altaïr, believing that the Assassin's rule was to do whatever they wanted.

But in the first act, the plot directly denies this idea, which is equivalent to using the actual actions of the characters in the plot to prove this view wrong.

After that, the modern plot and the ancient plot are staggered forward.

Desmond found himself involved in a conspiracy, as he was a member of a modern-day Assassin Order living on a "farm", but he grew tired of this isolation and escaped until he was found by Abstergo for his motorcycle license.

Desmond felt that all this was unreasonable, how could Abstergo be found and kidnapped with his motorcycle license, when he was obviously just a pharmaceutical company?

Obviously, this Abstergo company is definitely not as simple as it seems.

……

Altaïr was not dead, and the Mentor gave him a chance to be reborn.

Altaïr was puzzled and asked, "Isn't the Assassin's creed true that everything is false and everything is allowed?" ”

The tutor angrily rebuked: "You don't understand the real meaning of this sentence, child! It is not to give you the power to do as you please, it is a kind of knowledge, a guide to reason. ”

The Mentor stripped Altaïr of his identity and equipment, allowing him to rejoin the Assassin Order as a new man, starting from scratch.

In Masyaf, Altaïr was tasked with investigating the betrayers, and upon completion of his mission, the Mentor of the Assassins handed him a list of nine names, all of whom belonged to the Templars. Altaïr must assassinate the nine men and complete the Mentor's mission.

Lao Song was not in a hurry to advance the plot, but first took a good look at the scenery in Masyaf.

The room where the instructor was, the platform of the Leap of Faith, the surrounding villages......

Masyaf continued the high standards of Assassin's Creed: Origins, with the people going about their own business in the villages at the foot of the mountain, and the Assassins leaving Masyaf to go on missions.

Everything is so real, like history that really existed.

Old Song was a little confused, it was obvious that the story in the plot CG should take place in Masyaf, and the high platform where the middle-aged and elderly assassin jumped was obviously the place where Altaïr took the leap of faith.

But why was Masyaf occupied by a group of Templars at that time?

Or does this episode really take place in a different timeline, as some people say?
