Back at school, Chinese officials Marshall Kai Ti Chan and his assistant Mei Ying inform Dr. Jones of the Heart of the Dragon, a black pearl buried with the first emperor of China,Qin Shi Huangdi .

Prague to acquire the second piece of the mirror, only to be captured by Von Beck and his men. Jones wakes up in a cell inIstanbul when Mei Ying appears and frees him. He makes his way to the sunken palace ofBelisarius to collect the final piece of the mirror. Mei Ying appears again and tells him that Kai is working with the Nazis to get the Mirror for himself and control the Heart of the Dragon. At the Golden Lotus Opera House in Hong Kong, Mei Ying and Indy wait for Wu Han, a character from "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom ". When Mei Ying is kidnapped by Kai's men, Indy and Wu Han chase them down to the dock, where they discover that they are heading to Kai's private island.

After killing the twins, he falls down a shaft into the temple of Kong Tien, where he finds a magical Chineseboomerang -like weapon called the Pa Cheng. Indy finds Kai assembling the Mirror of Dreams and sacrificing Mei Ying to the demon, Kong Tien, who possesses Mei Ying. Indy frees her and escapes with the mirror to the Emperor's Tomb.
