Chapter 559 Don’t let the fighters of democracy feel cold!

Daniel stopped looking around and continued to follow the large army.

Concerns about the composition of the marchers can only remain in my mind.

After all, in the original plan, the number of players who would participate in the parade was only about 1,200, but now there are at least 6,000 people swarming outside the parliament building, waving flags and signs and shouting.

Players account for only 20%, and the remaining 80% are people who join suddenly for no reason.

There is no chance to refuse at all.

This also made this demonstration the largest protest in London this year.

A gathering of people of this size, and an unreported gathering, is obviously going to cause problems.

Even if the participants had no intention of causing damage and simply wanted to make a voice, they completely blocked the road outside the parliament building and paralyzed traffic.

The London police arrived belatedly.

But they are also quite difficult to handle——

If there is violence and vandalism at the scene, there is no need to say anything, just use force, arrest some people, drive some people away, and send the rest away directly.

The problem is that these people are very well behaved.

Everyone stood outside shouting slogans, expressing their dissatisfaction and asking the government to "stop infringing on civil liberties."

If you ask them to move to both sides of the road and not occupy the road or block traffic, they will move out of the way without saying a word.

This is quite troublesome. I can’t find a reason to arrest someone!

In the end, the police could only maintain order while looking for the organizers of the protest and trying to reason.

——Otherwise, the crowd will be dispersed for no reason, let alone how to disperse more than 6,000 people. If the situation is not handled properly, it will be the London police who will be protested tomorrow.

Doesn't that mean you have to take the blame for someone else?

So if it doesn't work, it's better to be amicable and let's discuss it.

After a lot of hard work, the road finally cleared.

The price was that the lawn outside the Houses of Parliament was packed with people, and there were also dense crowds of protesters on both sides of the Thames.

More people were still gathering from the periphery, and London's most famous sightseeing route was completely filled with protestors.

The London police were worried from the beginning, but now they are relieved - because they could not find the organizer of the event.

Most of the protesters were unwilling to pay attention to them. Finally, a few people were willing to answer questions. After some questioning, they discovered that this protest did not seem to be organized by a few people, but originated from a post on the Internet.

, hundreds of people left messages on the post, communicated, and made appointments.

One of them enthusiastically took out his cell phone and showed the post to the police officer.

The policemen looked at the post "Regional Councilors Call on Citizens to Resist the Government" and fell into deep thought...

…

The protests were in full swing, but several hours passed and no one from the government showed up.

This made Daniel and the protesting crowd around him very angry!

But after such a long time, they inevitably felt tired and hungry.

Daniel was very worried that if the protest made no progress, there would be only two development paths left - crowd dissatisfaction would intensify, develop into more intense protests, and even lead to violent conflicts.

Or everyone may lose their temper and go back to their homes, waiting for the government's stance tomorrow to see if the protest has achieved any results.

But at this moment, by coincidence, a long row of food trucks slowly drove into the protest site and began selling steaming meals.

Various vendors also gathered quickly as if they had received a signal.

Waffles, tacos, turkey kebab, Spanish paella, bratwurst, Cornish pasties, and the timeless classic - fish and chips, all appeared at the protest site.

Then there were mobile coffee carts, street haircuts, second-hand book stalls, small commodities, street performances...all kinds of strange vendors began to gather here.

The atmosphere at the scene inevitably became strange: from indignant protests and accusations, it quickly turned into a party.

Daniel was stunned as he watched all this happen, completely confused as to why this was happening.

Until Creative Code Game Company officially debuted.

They are not here to protest government regulations, on the contrary, they are here to "pacify" the emotions of protesting players - for this reason, they "temporarily" built a [virtual world experience area] that can serve 300 people at the same time, and the site is free

Experience the virtual world.

Although they said it was "temporary", they were able to get all the preparations done within 10 minutes of arriving and quickly provide services to the crowd. It was obvious that they were well prepared.

——The preparations cannot be started after the parade starts, but must have been completed yesterday, otherwise it will be too late.

Daniel held the flag in his hand and watched the young people who "liked parades" put down their signs and happily ran to the virtual world experience area just set up by CC Game Company to join in the fun.

He put the flag to the side and took out his mobile phone to check the social network.

Unsurprisingly, this protest march became the first hot topic, not only making headlines in the UK, but also causing a certain sensation throughout Europe.

In the UK, the free virtual reality experience provided by CC Game Company has been discussed rapidly in a very short period of time, and it seems to be the next hot topic.

Only then did Daniel suddenly feel: Many things can be explained...

…

Before going to bed at night, Lin You learned about the protest march by British players after being reminded by Xiao Meng.

Looking at the scene shown to him by Xiao Meng, Lin You was a little confused: "Are you sure this is a protest demonstration? It's not a large outdoor gathering somewhere?"

"No!" Xiao Meng shook his head, "This is the live scene! According to Xiao Meng's reasoning, CC Game Company should have secretly intervened and misled the protesting crowd."

"Is this a virtual game promotion? But haven't we reached a cooperation yet? Their government can't get through it."

Lin You thought for a while and suddenly understood: "Is it because of the letter of intent for cooperation? They think that cooperation will be achieved sooner or later, and they have priority for cooperation, so they incite players to protest and promote it in advance?"

"But this is too risky, isn't it?" Lin You said in disbelief.

"Xiaomeng doesn't know." In Lin You's field of vision, Xiaomeng was wearing cute little dinosaur pajamas, lying on the bed and dangling her calves. "But Xiaomeng thinks it's good for everyone to get together to play. It's better than in Los Angeles."

The protests are so much better!”

"Los Angeles?" Lin You was stunned for a moment, "There are also player protests in Los Angeles?"

"Yes, yes, there was a lot of trouble yesterday." Xiao Meng affirmed: "It started as a small-scale protest, and then more and more people joined in, and finally turned into a violent conflict. The Los Angeles police announced the details not long ago

According to the information, a full 158 people were arrested during this protest."

"Ah? Is there such a big fuss?"

"Yes!" Xiao Meng turned to one side and lay on his back. With a wave of his hand, a larger picture was projected onto the ceiling.

The scene inside was completely different from the lively and joyful atmosphere outside the British Parliament Buildings, with angry crowds, waving flags, smashed car windows, lit signs, and shops that were sold out...

The police clashed fiercely with the crowd. Batons, shields, and tear gas were used in unison, and the impulsive thugs were pushed to the ground one by one...

"This is...a player from Los Angeles?" Lin You couldn't accept it.

"Xiaomeng has compared the faces of these people. There are no such people in Yunmeng's North American database!"

"Oh, that's good." Lin You breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Xiao Meng's explanation.

He also knows that as the number of Yunmeng's users increases, it is inevitable that the quality of players will vary from high to low.

But when I think about all these inexplicable people coming in, I feel a little bit uncomfortable...

"Are all the 158 people arrested just taking advantage of the situation and joining in the fun?"

"No, there are 18 people inside. They are the people who organized the players to carry out this protest." Xiao Meng pulled out the photos and information of these 18 people and compared them with Yunmeng's player database. "These 18 people are also very early.

Just players who have logged into the virtual world through the Internet springboard."

"So only these 18 people were arrested and imprisoned because they were really fighting for the right to play freely, right?" Lin You asked Xiaomeng for more information: "In the information released by the Los Angeles police, they were arrested

What’s the reason?”

"Organizing marches and protests privately without reporting, causing negative consequences." Xiao Meng pulled out the announcement from the Los Angeles Police Department.

"Is this so..." Lin You pondered for a moment and came up with an idea.

"I remember they have a bail system there, right?"

Xiao Meng nodded.

"That's good, we can't let democratic fighters like this fight for the rights of the masses dishearten them!" Lin You said, and couldn't help but smile: "We paid for it!"

"Not only the bail of these 18 players, but also the bail of all players who are arrested and imprisoned for organizing player protests in the future!"

"I will ask Zhong Chang and Lao Luo tomorrow to see if they can set up a transnational foundation or something to specifically provide funding for such 'democratic activities' overseas."

"Let the flames of democracy and freedom burn even more vigorously!"

At this point, Lin You couldn't hold back his smile anymore and burst out laughing: "Haha! I'm such a good person!"

The second update is still being written...
