History

Searching for Shao Jun's treasure

In 2019, a young lady Lisa Huang was sent to the facility to receive treatment and therapy over her violent tendencies at school. While there, Risa was put into an Animus by Doctor Kaori Kagami, who was a Templar searching for a lost treasure of the Assassin Shao Jun. Since Risa was one of her descendants, Kagami made sure to study and learn where Shao Jun's treasure went. The following day after their first session, Kagami put Lisa back into the Animus to relive Shao Jun's genetic memories. Easing and manipulating Lisa, Dr. Kagami assured her that she would help her overcome her problems. However, after putting Lisa back into the Animus again, she explained to her colleague that she did not care about Lisa's well-being and only about any Precursor artifacts.

While reliving Shao Jun's memory of the Eight Tigers' fire in Macau, Lisa came out of the Animus grief-stricken while Dr. Kagami consoled and comforted her before she left. However, Dr. Kagami revealed her process with her supervisor Ellen Kaye, who warned her not to flounder her chance and be wary especially after her previous failure at the facility in Madrid, Spain. At her next session, Lisa relayed the hallucinations she experienced to her doctor, but Dr. Kagami explained that this response was temporary. Assured, she continued to relive Shao Jun's memories. When an assistant comes in, the doctor demanded he take notes due to her progressing even further than with her last subject, Lin.

However, Lisa awoke from the simulation and began to feel happy upon discovering Shao Jun's friendship with Empress Zhang Qijie. Worried, Dr. Kagami realized Lisa may become one those subjects who developed enhanced abilities through the Bleeding Effect. The next time Lisa awoke, she learned that Shao Jun had the ability of Eagle Vision and unintentionally caught Dr. Kagami's pen before it fell to the floor. Realizing the Bleeding effect has taken more ahold of her, Lisa ended the session early. After meeting with her cousin Mari, Lisa learned of Dr. Kagami's true intentions but still wanted to relive Shao Jun's memories and to see what treasure the Templars were searching for.

Taking Lisa hostage

After reliving Shao Jun's rescue of the Empress, Lisa awoke and requested to leave Dr. Kagami's session, stating she did not want to have any lasting effects from the Animus. Shocked, Dr. Kagami confronted Lisa about being close to Shao Jun's treasure. Lisa tried to escape but Dr. Kagami locked the doors and pulled a pistol on her. Explaining her past at the Madrid location, Dr. Kagami had her guards force Lisa back into Animus for further inspection of Shao Jun's memories.

However, Dr. Kagami's mission was for naught as Shao Jun's box was lost after Zhang Yong sent it away from China to other allies. After the memory was completed, Lisa awoke and confronted Dr. Kagami on exploiting her. Meanwhile, the Japanese Assassin Kiyoshi Takakura and Lisa's cousin Mari fought their way through the facility to rescue Lisa. Lisa managed to disarm Dr. Kagami of her gun and took down her two guards. Aiming the gun on Dr. Kagami, Lisa was found by Kiyoshi and Mari. Lisa thanked Dr. Kagami for helping access her ancestor's memory before shooting and destroying the doctor's Animus. Leaving the facility, the girls and Kiyoshi were met by Mentor Saeko Mochizuki. Saeko offered Lisa a choice to join the Assassin, to which she accepted along with Mari. Saeko tasked the girls to find Shao Jun's Precursor box themselves, and the pair accepted the responsibility.
