Dice In The Darkness: Cthulhu Calls-Chapter 551: The Mission of the Yellow King

Moreover, now that he has confirmed Thousand Face’s true identity, Liu Xing really doesn’t intend to have any further dealings with Thousand Face because he fears that Thousand Face might retaliate against him. After all, Thousand Face is now resorting to any means for revenge and is even willing to harm innocent bystanders. The Thousand Face who will only become increasingly insane in the future will surely carry out more terrifying actions.

If he becomes the target of Thousand Face’s attention, that will be troublesome.

Moreover, it’s not easy to kill Thousand Face now. After all, Thousand Face can use the reincarnation technique to prepare a body for resurrection. So, killing only Thousand Face’s main body now would not be very effective, except to make Thousand Face even more insane and create more targets for revenge.

As for finding Thousand Face’s next reincarnation body, it’s like finding a needle in a haystack because Liu Xing doesn’t think Thousand Face would carry the next reincarnation body with him or keep it nearby.

So, it’s better to keep this news to himself.

Liu Xing thought so.

When in doubt, go to sleep.

Liu Xing glanced at his mobile phone. It was already one o’clock in the evening, and it was time for him to rest.

So, Liu Xing contacted KP Bamboo Rat and asked for an exquisite sleep package.

In Tokyo, a brightly lit international metropolis, there are always places where light cannot reach, and in these dark places, not only humans but also other beings are active.

A storm is coming.

The next morning, Liu Xing was awakened by the cold.

Because last night when Rundell left, he didn’t bother to close the window, and Liu Xing also thought the weather was fine and didn’t see the need to close it, but it rained today.

And this rain is quite heavy.

Liu Xing got up to close the window, looking at Tokyo covered by heavy rain, he suddenly had a ominous premonition.

Is something going to happen again?

Liu Xing frowned, looking into the distance, without moving for a while.

It wasn’t until a minute later that Liu Xing shrugged his neck. It’s really cold in this weather...

Liu Xing continued to lie down on the bed. Since he didn’t have to go to class today, it’s not good to go out wandering around in the rain, so he might as well sleep a little longer.

And Zhang Jingxu and others also thought the same way, so when Liu Xing and others arrived in the living room, it was already half-past ten in the morning.

It looks like today we can have breakfast and lunch together.

"Ah, what kind of weather is this today? Why is it raining so heavily these two days, and it’s so cold? You know, it’s still summer now." Ling Ishikawa complained.

Liu Xing nodded. It’s indeed abnormal to have such cold rain in summer.

Is his premonition true?

Looking at the heavy rain outside the window, Liu Xing suggested, "Since it’s raining heavily today, let’s just stay at home. After all, we don’t have any clues to follow right now, so it’s better to stay at home and wait and see."

Ling Ishikawa nodded and quickly said, "That’s right. Since it’s raining heavily today, the people from the Deep Diving Society shouldn’t have any actions either, unless this rain was caused by them."

Everyone was startled.

Seeing this, Ling Ishikawa hesitated and said, "Uh, I’m just saying. Since the Deep One can use magic to create Thick Fog, it’s possible for them to use magic to make it rain. But this rain shouldn’t benefit the Deep Diving Society in any way because it doesn’t come with any magical effects."

Liu Xing shook his head and said seriously, "What if the Deep Diving Society wants to take advantage of the rainy weather to do something bad? Just as we thought, on rainy days like this, it’s best to stay indoors. So, I think there’s a possibility that the Deep Diving Society aims to take advantage of the heavy rain to sneak into Cross Lake to investigate or even take away that mythical creature."

Everyone nodded in agreement. After all, no one would be wandering around Cross Lake on such a rainy day, and with the cover of heavy rain, the people from the Deep Diving Society could easily sneak into Cross Lake.

"So, should we go to the school now?" Ling Ishikawa asked.

Liu Xing nodded and said with a smile, "Of course, for safety’s sake, we should definitely arrange for someone to watch over Cross Lake. But we don’t all need to go to the school together because we only need one person to keep watch. If the Deep Diving Society intends to act today, we should have enough time to go together."

Ling Ishikawa raised an eyebrow, reluctantly saying, "Alright, it looks like it’s up to me to keep watch today..."

Seeing Ling Ishikawa’s resigned expression, everyone burst into laughter.

Of course, Liu Xing and the others certainly wouldn’t let Ling Ishikawa go to the school alone to keep watch. After all, if the Deep Diving Society really intended to cause trouble, Liu Xing’s group might not be able to support Ling Ishikawa in time.

So after going out for lunch, Liu Xing and his group came to the activity room of the China Society. Here, they could shelter from the rain and still see most of Cross Lake, as the China Society was on the ground floor of the Old Teaching Building, where there were always blind spots.

Therefore, Liu Xing and the others took turns observing the situation at Cross Lake.

The rain was getting heavier and it seemed like it had no intention of stopping.

Bored, Liu Xing held a cup of tea and scrolled through Island Nation news on his mobile phone. Although the news in Island Nation mainly focused on the Tokyo Skytree explosion and the Tiger’s Den kidnapping, Liu Xing wanted to see if there was anything else noteworthy happening, such as murders.

Because according to the information provided by Oko Hayato, it had been confirmed that there were thirty-four people who might be targets of revenge by Thousand Face. Although the Island Nation police had sent people to protect these individuals secretly, after learning about Thousand Face’s methods of dealing with Ghost Island believers, the Island Nation police felt that they were basically unable to protect those targeted by Thousand Face.

By the way, many secret cults had withdrawn from the pursuit of Thousand Face because they knew they couldn’t catch him, so they felt it was better not to go to their deaths.

As for those large secret cults, upon learning that Thousand Face might be a traitor from the Yin-Yang family who used reincarnation techniques, they also began to calm down and think about whether they should offend such a madman.

Although for these large secret cults, it was quite easy to get rid of Thousand Face, dealing with Thousand Face, who theoretically could be infinitely resurrected and held grudges, was not easy. If they couldn’t completely eradicate him, Thousand Face would definitely continue to harass them. Even if Thousand Face didn’t hurt them seriously, they would lose some flesh in the process...

So, almost all secret cults had temporarily stopped investigating and chasing Thousand Face, and started discussing the pros and cons of continuing the pursuit.

Of course, some officials in Island Nation also wanted to give up chasing Thousand Face and let him succeed in his revenge, which could indirectly solve the problem of Thousand Face. However, because many high-level figures in Island Nation were among the targets of Thousand Face’s revenge, including Inukai Abe, this idea was rejected by Island Nation officials.

After all, it had only been a few days since the Tokyo Skytree was bombed and their leader was assassinated. What kind of situation was this?

If Island Nation officials did that, they would become a laughingstock in the world.

So, Island Nation officials could only continue to persevere, and they also spent a lot of effort to gather reinforcements.

But these were not the concerns of Liu Xing, anyway, this matter had nothing to do with him...

Just as Liu Xing was thinking like this, he suddenly felt like everything around him had stopped in an instant, as if everything had frozen.

Before Liu Xing could react, the Yellow King appeared in front of him.

Facing the sudden appearance of the Yellow King, Liu Xing had a sense of foreboding.

The Yellow King looked at Liu Xing and smiled, saying, "My dear follower, do you know why I’ve come to find you now?"

Liu Xing raised an eyebrow, cautiously answering, "Is it about Thousand Face?"

Apart from Thousand Face, Liu Xing really couldn’t think of any other reason why the Yellow King would come to him.

The Yellow King nodded and said, "That’s right, it’s about Thousand Face. The chieftain of the Byakhee clan just told me about Thousand Face, so I did a little investigation and found out that this Thousand Face is a follower of Dagon, one of Cthulhu’s lackeys. It’s also sent by Dagon to sow panic. Once Thousand Face completes its revenge, it will serve Dagon wholeheartedly. At that time, it will cause panic in Island Nation, making it easier for the Deep Diving Society to spread its teachings in Island Nation. So, as my follower, you must deal with this evil enemy."

Liu Xing looked at the Yellow King in surprise. He hadn’t expected Thousand Face to be a follower of Dagon.

This content is taken from fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm.

But then again, as one of the most powerful beings under the Great Old Ones, Dagon’s status and identity should be similar to that of the Yellow King, who is one of Hastur’s avatars. So, as a follower of the Yellow King, he really was up against Thousand Face.

But, I can’t do it!

Liu Xing was well aware of his own capabilities, which were far inferior to Thousand Face’s.

Moreover, now that it was confirmed that Thousand Face was a follower of Dagon, Dagon must have provided Thousand Face with a large number of mythical creature corpses as targets for the reincarnation technique. And most of these mythical creature corpses were probably stored in hidden locations protected by Deep Ones. With just his group of people, it would be difficult to completely deal with Thousand Face.

However, the Yellow King also noticed Liu Xing’s hesitation, so he took out a compass and said, "This compass can determine Thousand Face’s exact location. And if Thousand Face wants to be reborn, it needs at least a day to perform the reincarnation technique. So when the time comes, as long as you kill Thousand Face and then kill him again within a day, you can completely get rid of Thousand Face. And once you complete this mission I’ve given you, I will definitely reward you generously."

Since the Yellow King said so, although Liu Xing was still worried, he could only bite the bullet.

So, Liu Xing took the compass from the Yellow King’s hand and nodded, saying, "Alright, I won’t let you down."

The Yellow King nodded, then disappeared directly.

Everything around returned to normal.
