Dice In The Darkness: Cthulhu Calls

The Scotland Turmoil?!

Liu Xing and the others were taken aback. They hadn’t expected such a sudden mission.

Judging from the name of this sudden mission, Liu Xing felt that it would definitely be unfavorable to their side. After all, they were "police officers" now. Once the major turmoil broke out, they were likely to become targets of attack by the rioters. After all, what those rioters wanted to disrupt the most was "order."

And on this street, within a radius of a hundred meters, there were only their group of "police officers." So Liu Xing knew that as soon as the major turmoil began, their group was likely to be isolated and vulnerable. They would either end up dead or injured.

Therefore, Liu Xing immediately said, "We should hurry and head to Glasgow Cathedral as soon as possible. I can see that the demonstrators are getting more and more agitated. I’m afraid that as soon as someone lights the fuse, these demonstrators will erupt into a large-scale riot."

Zhang Jingxu and the others, as fellow players, naturally voiced their agreement.

Alice glanced at the demonstrators around them and said with deep resonance, "Indeed, the expressions of these demonstrators are becoming increasingly fervent. I feel like Glasgow has become a powder keg. As soon as it ignites, if we’re surrounded by these demonstrators, it will be troublesome. So let’s quickly take the alley and head to Glasgow Cathedral."

After making the decision, Liu Xing and the others immediately set off, briskly making their way towards Glasgow Cathedral.

Because Glasgow Cathedral was located within the Glasgow city area, Liu Xing and the others roughly estimated the distance and their current speed, realizing that they could barely reach Glasgow Cathedral within five minutes.

This made Liu Xing breathe a sigh of relief. After all, once they entered Glasgow Cathedral, they wouldn’t have to worry much about the rioters. Glasgow Cathedral was one of the most famous landmarks in Scotland, with many famous figures from Scottish history resting there. Combined with the local people’s faith, Liu Xing believed that even if a large-scale riot broke out later, the rioters wouldn’t attack Glasgow Cathedral.

Thinking of this, Liu Xing and the others quickened their pace.

Soon, they arrived at the street opposite Glasgow Cathedral.

It had to be said that as a cathedral that took over three hundred years to complete, Glasgow Cathedral looked truly magnificent and majestic. Even the demonstrators around Glasgow Cathedral seemed less vociferous compared to those on other streets.

After all, almost all cathedrals in European regions had attached graveyards for burying some well-known noble figures, and Glasgow Cathedral was no exception.

But actions speak louder than words. At this moment, Liu Xing and the others were blocked by the demonstrators opposite Glasgow Cathedral.

At this moment, there were only forty seconds left until the official start time of the "Scotland Turmoil" mission.

Time was running out.

Liu Xing frowned, gritted his teeth, and said, "Let’s just go straight through now. It’s impossible for these demonstrators to make way for us in a few hours."

To prevent Alice from refusing, Liu Xing chose to start crossing the crowd directly after speaking, with Ling Ishikawa and the others following closely behind.

Seeing this, Alice could only sigh helplessly, keeping up with Liu Xing and the others, and instructing Ryuzaki to hold up his police officer badge to clear the way ahead.

Although the actions of Liu Xing and the others aroused dissatisfaction among the demonstrators, the uniforms worn by Liu Xing and the others made the more rational demonstrators choose to step aside, albeit with verbal abuses directed at Liu Xing and the others.

Thus, Liu Xing and the others made it to the front of Glasgow Cathedral amidst the spitting from the demonstrators.

In front of Glasgow Cathedral, in addition to the original gatekeepers, there were also several local Scottish police officers maintaining order at the entrance.

However, it was obvious that these local Scottish police officers didn’t take this demonstration seriously. They were chatting and laughing in twos and threes at the entrance, not paying much attention to the demonstrators in front of them.

A glimpse of the leopard from the cat.

Seeing this, Liu Xing couldn’t help but sigh inwardly. Judging from the mentality of these police officers in front of Glasgow Cathedral, it was easy to guess that the local Scottish police officers didn’t take this demonstration too seriously. So when the turmoil broke out later, the local Scottish police officers would have to pay the price for their contempt.

And it was also possible that because of the contempt of these local Scottish police officers, Glasgow’s turmoil would be difficult to control in a short time, gradually escalating into a major turmoil throughout Scotland.

This was very real.

Just then, KP Li Shunchan spoke again, "Now, please pay attention, everyone. The sudden mission—Scotland Turmoil—has officially begun. Due to the deliberate instigation by some people, during the Glasgow Grand Parade organized by William Wallace, a police officer who had been bribed suddenly shot William Wallace, who was giving a speech, leading to large-scale riots by the demonstrators. Moreover, rumors of England preparing to suppress Scotland by force have appeared on various social platforms in Scotland, so more and more Scottish people are choosing to take to the streets to vent their dissatisfaction with England..."

"Now, as England police officers, each of you players will have a chance of being attacked by people from Scotland. Your chosen response will greatly influence the course of the Scotland Turmoil. Therefore, I hope all players will be cautious and avoid making any provocative actions to exacerbate the current tense situation. After all, the outcome of the Scotland Turmoil is closely related to your main quest. As for the reward for this sudden mission, it will be determined based on each player’s performance during the Scotland Turmoil."

After listening to KP Li Shunchan’s briefing on the sudden mission, Liu Xing began to feel a headache.

Because in the mission briefing, it was mentioned that "people from Scotland" might launch attacks against them, which meant that besides the ordinary demonstrators, the local Scottish police officers in front of them might also attack them.

And the worst-case scenario would be that after the situation deteriorated, the Scotland military might also pose a threat to them.

Moreover, the most important thing was that, given the current situation, it was impossible for the England side to enter Scotland in the short term. After all, if the England side entered Scotland before resolving the William shooting incident, it was highly likely that the Scotland Turmoil would escalate into an England-Scotland war.

So Liu Xing could be sure that his group would be isolated and without support in Scotland for a short period of time, and their enemies would not only include the Cult of the Cadaver and the Deep Diving Society but also the entire Scotland!

Just thinking about it gave him a headache...

But now was not the time to contemplate life. Liu Xing felt that his group must quickly enter Glasgow Cathedral. Because if the news of William being shot reached the Scottish police officers at the entrance, it would be troublesome for them to enter Glasgow Cathedral.

Although KP Li Shunchan did not specify whether the police officer who shot William was Scottish or English when introducing the sudden mission, Liu Xing was sure that the blame would definitely fall on the English side.

So now, as England police officers, his group had become the most unwelcome people in Scotland.

Thinking of this, Liu Xing gave Ling Ishikawa a meaningful look. After all, "Watanabe Ryuusei" couldn’t speak English, so there was no way for him to intervene at this moment.

So, Ling Ishikawa took over the position of leading the group from Liu Xing and walked to the front.

Seeing Liu Xing and the others approaching, the leading Scottish police officer said somewhat surprised, "Uh, aren’t you Glasgow police officers? I don’t remember Glasgow having so many Asian police officers."

Only then did Liu Xing notice that he seemed to have been given a mental communication buff by Hu Li again, enabling him to understand other languages.

Ling Ishikawa chuckled and said, "We were sent from Edinburgh to support you. After all, the scale of today’s parade far exceeds the past, and there are many foreign tourists at Glasgow Cathedral, especially from Asia. So we were sent here to take care of the tourists at Glasgow Cathedral."

Edinburgh, the nominal capital of Scotland.

At this time, the sound of dice falling was heard.

"So you guys are police officers from the capital. I heard that the capital recruited a batch of immigrant police officers to fight against racism before. You must be them. But your arrival is just in time. There are indeed many tourists from Asia inside the cathedral now. Due to this parade, they are feeling worried and restless, so I’ll leave it to you." The leading Scottish police officer said with a smile.

Hearing this, Liu Xing couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief. It seemed that his group’s luck was still good this time.

So Liu Xing and his group successfully entered the high church of Glasgow Cathedral.

In fact, Glasgow Cathedral consisted of two churches: the high church facing the street and the low church behind it.

After entering the high church, Liu Xing said to Matsui Yui, "Matsui Yui, where is your father now?"

After pondering for a moment, Matsui Yui pointed in the direction of the low church and said, "My father and the other clan members should be in the underground crypt of the low church."

Liu Xing nodded and said, "Let’s go, we need to hurry..."

Before Liu Xing could finish speaking, he saw someone walking towards him, someone he never expected to see in the module.

Tian Qing, Liu Xing’s first love.

Tian Qing walked up to Liu Xing and smiled, "Excuse me, officer, how long will the protest outside last?"

Seeing Liu Xing, who was completely speechless with shock, Zhang Jingxu, who realized that something was wrong, hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Sorry, my colleague here doesn’t speak Chinese. As for the protest outside, it may take a while. Miss, it’s better for you to rest inside the cathedral and leave after the protest ends to avoid any accidents."

Tian Qing nodded and left.

"Hey, Ryuusei, what’s wrong with you?" Ling Ishikawa said, feeling worried.

Liu Xing snapped out of his daze and stammered, "Nothing, I just mistook someone for someone else."

Seeing that Liu Xing didn’t want to say more, Ling Ishikawa didn’t ask further, just patted Liu Xing on the shoulder and followed Matsui Yui towards the low church.

At this moment, Liu Xing’s head was already a mess, but he knew it wasn’t the time to let his mind wander. So Liu Xing took a deep breath, forced himself to temporarily forget about Tian Qing, and quickly followed Ling Ishikawa and the others.

Soon, Liu Xing and his group arrived at the entrance of the low church, where a tall, handsome young white man was standing.

"Dad!" Matsui Yui exclaimed in surprise.

Liu Xing raised an eyebrow, not expecting this young white man to be Matsui Yui’s father—Baruka.

Baruka nodded and said somewhat strangely, "Didn’t I ask you to stay in Manchester? Why did you come looking for me?"

It seemed that Baruka didn’t know that Rogers had encountered trouble.

So Matsui Yui briefly explained the current situation to Baruka.

Baruka frowned and said, "I see. Then you should come in with me first."

Led by Baruka, Liu Xing and his group arrived at the back of the low church, where they saw a passage leading underground.

"Thirty years ago, Rogers’ real estate company received a mission to repair Glasgow Cathedral, so Rogers took this opportunity to build a new underground crypt next to the existing one in the low church, planning to move in after a hundred years. So when I came seeking his help, he let me and the other clan members hide here first." Baruka explained.

Alice nodded and asked, "Uncle, does William know about this place?"

Baruka shook his head and said affirmatively, "William definitely doesn’t know about this place because only Rogers and I know about the existence of this underground crypt. After all, this underground crypt was built by the two of us."

As Baruka spoke, he led everyone into the underground crypt.

Due to limited manpower, the area of ​​this underground crypt was not large, only about a dozen square meters, and a candle could illuminate the entire underground crypt.

At this time, Alice and Yis People’s mobile phones rang simultaneously.

Yis People took out his mobile phone and pretended to be surprised as he said, "What?! Because William was injured by an England police officer at the City Hall, it caused large-scale riots among the protesters. Chris asked us to leave Scotland quickly!"
