Chapter 325: All Things Are Void, All Things Are Allowed
In an empty room, a young man in a white coat looked around as his monologue sounded.
'My name is Desmond Miles, and I am a prisoner of a war, a war I never knew existed, waged by two groups of people I never thought were real...... Templars and Assassins'
Along with his confession, the screen switches to an army wearing the Crusader emblem and an assassin with a white hood and Hidden Blade, and then the screen suddenly begins to distort.
'A war that I don't know how many years it has been going on'
In the distorted picture, countless cracked images like broken glass kept flashing from the big screen.
Notre Dame Cathedral, the pyramids of Egypt, the ancient period like the Spartan warriors, the guns and shells of the modern period, the picture of fragments flashed constantly, and then a special picture froze for about a second, the CG picture in the DLC of "Red Alert: World War", a flash of golden apples.
'The Animus showed me the truth, what I had seen, what I had sealed. β
The scene cuts back to a room with modern technology, with Desmond Miles sleeping on top of a bed-like machine, and then a black-and-white distorted photograph appears in the shot.
Jerusalem's citadel, cathedral, and unreadable flags.
Thousands of years of history flowing in my blood are presented by this machine. β
They're using it, and they're using me, to find something. β
modern rooms, medieval church buildings;
empty houses, the streets of Renaissance Florence;
a white hoodie and a black and white Assassin hoodie;
Desmond Miles lying on a machine and an Assassin walking the streets of Florence with his face unclear;
Countless fragments weave back and forth, and finally freeze in a dark basement with a golden glow ahead.
'That thing is called: the golden apple'
It was a Hallow, one of many 'Hallows of Eden.' β
The Templars collected it and showed me its deadly power. β
If they were given another weapon, everything would change, and they wanted to enslave all of us. β
Countless images are staggered and horizontal, and then slowly freeze from black and white to normal game graphics.
Dressed in a white hood, red stripes, and a dagger, the Assassin stood at the top of a building looking down on Florence.
When they brought me here, I was afraid of what would happen if I resisted; β
The screen cuts to the inside of a modern technology building.
Now, ha, now I'm worried about what will happen if I don't resist. β
But I can't do it alone, and maybe I don't have to. β
I met a man, her name was Lucy, and I felt she was on my side. β
The camera cuts to a blonde beauty, smiling at Desmond Miles, while her right hand rests on her chest without a trace, and the ring finger of her right hand slowly bends in front of Desmond Miles, hiding in her clothes, and at first glance it looks like it is broken.
She is now gone, taken away by the Templars. β
I don't know what's going to happen to her, I don't know what's going to happen to me, I just know I have to get out of here, and I have to get out of here. β
My name is Desmond Miles, and that's my story. β
Lying on top of the bed-like machine, Desmond Miles' open eyes slowly closed, and the random large screen gradually fell into darkness.
As the video ended, all the viewers in the audience began to discuss, although they may be surrounded by people they don't know, but at this moment they have a common topic.
Although the footage of the video switches back and forth between the modern and medieval times, the specific background of the game has been made clear to them through the monologue of the main character.
To put it simply, the two organizations of the Assassins and the Templars are engaged in a thousand-year-long war, and at the same time, the Templars find out what machine the protagonist uses to activate the memory of the protagonist's ancestors, hoping to find the Eden Hallows, hoping to complete some great conspiracy, and then the Assassins are on the side of the protagonist, after all, the name of the game is "Assassin's Creed".
"Looks a little interesting! Through the genes in the protagonist's body, you can recover the memories of being an assassin ancestor! β
"But then it's not a simple realistic theme, there's a little bit of sci-fi component, that golden apple feels a little awesome!"
"Anyway, didn't you notice a small menu interspersed in the video? The clip of the mustache in "Red Alert: War of the Worlds", the mustache also has golden apples, so the Allies and the mustache are actually a contest between the Assassins and the Templars? β
"Damn, don't you say I haven't noticed it yet, so Yang always has to make a big move? "Metal Gear Solid: Phantom Pain" seems to be the background of "Red Alert: World War", so that the struggle between the United States and the Soviet Union for hegemony includes the Cold War, and the confrontation between the East and the West is actually dominated by the Assassins and Templars behind the scenes? β
"It's not impossible! Remember Colonel Zero, whose identity has not been revealed in "Metal Gear Solid: Phantom Pain"? It seems that the Big Boss and Skeletal Face were all of his subordinates, and perhaps he was one of the Assassins or the Templars. β
"Don't say it, it really makes sense!"
The player's imagination is extremely rich, and even if there is only a little bit of evidence, they can think of a lot of things.
The players on the scene didn't think of this yet, but there are also major communities on the live broadcast platform, and as more and more players participate in the discussion, their speculations are becoming more and more 'bold'.
Of course, Yang Chen is completely unaware of all this at present.
Quietly waiting for the scene to calm down, Yang Chen continued to speak: "Actually, before this, I thought about how to draw a cake for everyone. β
As Yang Chen's words fell, a burst of cheerful laughter rang out at the scene.
However, this time Yang Chen did not stop what he wanted to say, but raised his voice slightly: "Finally, we think that this piece of cake, you as players should taste it to see how it tastes, the trial version of "Assassin's Creed" will be officially launched on major platforms this Sunday, that is, on the 15th, and pre-sale will also be opened." β
As Yang Chen's words fell, a brief promotional trailer was played on the big screen behind him again.
But it's not long, judging from the progress bar, it's only about 30 seconds, about a remix of the previous CG of "Assassin's Creed".
With a white-hooded assassin and the iconic Hidden Blade, the Assassin pushed through the crowd and then rushed in front of a Templar like a gust of wind, killing them with a single blow, leaving before everyone could react.
At some point, the Assassin, who was hiding in the crowd, witnessed the pursuers and turned into the alley.
'When others are blindly seeking truth and truth, rememberβ'
'All things are empty'.
In the dark church, he withdrew his Hidden Blade, put on his hood and turned away.
'When others are bound by law and morality, rememberβ'
'All things are allowed'.
On the tower, several Assassins stood there, their hoods staring into the distance, and then, like falcons, leaped down with their arms outstretched.
'We toil in darkness, but serve the light, and we areβ'
'Assassin'.
