MISSION 8 MASTER GREEN PHOENIX'S SCHEME
Without a girlfriend or a date
My scissors accompany me night and day
I'm so tired here in Xuanwu.
They don't even have shuttle buses. You have to walk wherever you go.
Wait. There's a birdman ahead!
This must be it.
Where is Green Phoenix?
I don't have his phone number.
If only I could ring him up.
He's here, just as the Master expected.
If he shows up in front of the Eagle statue,
stick this dagger in his body.
- Why-- - You don't need to know why.
If you fancy him, and find it difficult to do it,
just give up the mission.
That would mean you are no longer my apprentice.
And that would be the end of your assassin career.
I'll see to it.
Wait.
This mission could be dangerous.
Be careful.
Yes, Master.
SEVEN
Right, I should get changed.
Ms. Plum Blossom! What a coincidence, and good luck to meet you here.
Why are you dressed like this?
Do I look like a cosplayer?
Your master told me to wear this and meet him here.
He said it's important--
- You got any snacks in your bag? - Sure thing. Want some midnight snacks?
Right, you're always on intense missions.
I've got you some medicine--
It hurts...
You and I don't have any chemistry whatsoever.
You shouldn't have been so unsuspecting.
I'm sorry.
Remember, Thirteen. Don't ask the reason for the mission,
regardless of whether it's right or wrong.
Assassins can't have personal emotions.
Thirteen, remember your goal, and know your place... Wait.
Right, you're always on intense missions.
I've got you some med--
I'm not softhearted. This doesn't mean anything.
I'm just giving the medicine back and then I will leave.
I couldn't find you so I started eating without you.
But I just...
What was that? It felt icy cold like an essential balm.
And it just disappeared soon after that. Is it some sort of ice-lolly?
Young lady, you'd better pick a side.
He's one of the most wanted targets in order of reward.
And you're an assassin of Xuanwu.
Are you the legendary Eyeless Sorcerer who foresees the future?
That's an exaggeration.
I can just predict the occasional evil deed.
And I try my best to help the world avoid it.
THE EYELESS MAGE
Don't be so sanctimonious. You're just trying to claim the reward.
I only kill people to protect Xuanwu.
Today, I'm going to annihilate the biggest future threat to Xuanwu.
Who is he talking about?
If you try to help him out,
that will be considered treason, which is a capital offence.
Your master will be implicated, too.
Hey! Brother Monk, nice to meet you, too.
We don't have any personal enmities. Why do you want to kill me?
In my vision, you will bring misfortune to Xuanwu.
Two years ago, you killed the mythical creature of Xuanwu.
I foresaw it but I failed to stop you.
Now, I must wipe you out.
He's powerful. I was expecting to smash the bead.
But it ended up just changing its course.
Master, I'm sorry. I failed the mission.
You could've just walked away.
But now, you bring about your own destruction.
Damn. I'm somehow captured in his matrix.
There is no way out now.
You stabbed him with a Dark Frost Blade.
The evil power of the dagger will drive him mad.
The consequence is unthinkable.
Did Master really give me a devil relic, the Dark Frost Blade?
All misfortunes shall be turned to dust.
Go... Just go now.
He's already entered the beast status.
But he still managed to go back and protect that lady.
This is not what I foresaw.
Which part of my calculation was wrong?
My time has come.
He came back as expected.
