MTL - Psychological Control-Chapter 80
We arrived in New Zealand at 6 am local time, and it was not yet bright. We took the convenience of the stewardess and quickly hurried off before everyone left to find the designated vehicle in the parking lot. There are new leads in the designated vehicle.
"Go to Auckland Pier and find a difficult knot at Pier C. Untie it to find the next clue." I looked at the information on the clue card, saying it word by word.
Dillon responded and turned to look at the rear-view mirror, which had followed us to start the car and the two brothers and sisters who had left the parking lot. He looked very relaxed, perhaps because he could not see the enemy he was chasing. Because it meant we left them far behind.
"I have never even thought about this idea of gaining a leading position in this way." Dillon turned his gaze from the rearview mirror and whispered to me with a somewhat ridiculous smile. "Also I'll make an alliance with people soon. Little Brian, I really don't know what your brain does. "
"Do you want to try the brain?" I like to quarrel with the ex-captain from time to time. This is one of the ways we show closeness to each other.
In fact, my relationship with Dillon always makes people around me feel strange. Because we are not as sticky as many **** couples or even ordinary couples. But they have some kind of blushing heartbeat tension and hormones spreading around them than their friends.
Silence is the state we spend most of the time with, but it is not the kind of indifferent silence. Compared to the couple in love, we are more like the old wife and wife who already have a tacit understanding. It just happened that we started together from the survivors, but it was only half a year.
The distance from Auckland Airport to the city center is not too far, because the dock we are going to is right next to the city center, and the landmark building previously selected is located in the center of the city center. So according to the map, we have almost no time to hesitate, as if there is a GPS following it, and we have arrived at Kunjie Street quickly and clearly.
Queen Street is the main street and the most prosperous place in downtown Auckland. From the end of Kun Street, it is wn dock. Parked the car in the parking lot of the dock, we rushed down and almost couldn't catch up with the camera, and rushed towards the dock with our bags.
At this time, it was not bright yet, it took us more than 40 minutes from the airport to the terminal. Zoe and Joseph also followed us. When Dillon and I got out of the car and headed to Pier C, they also parked the car just beside us.
There was no light at all on the dark dock. We used the head-mounted climbing lights configured by the crew in the backpack. Because the first team arrived, the so-called difficult knot is not difficult to find. It was a bunch of hemp rope tied into a ball of yarn, which was usually used to tie ships.
Because of Dexter, I'm no stranger to how to untie the knot, and Dillon is even more proficient at knots and the like. It didn't take much time. When Zoe and Joseph ran to the dock, we had already untied the clew and took out the paper clues inside.
"Go to the top of Mount Eden and complete the barricade task there." I continued to read the clues on the note line by line with the light above my head. There wasn't much explanation about the characters on the note, it should be told to us after we got there.
I looked up and looked at Dillon. I thought about it and said, "Go back to the car and find the road to Mount Eden on the map. It should be a famous tourist attraction." It is still up to Dillon to find such a thing. This battle map has been deployed by people.
As soon as he got in the car, Dillon started the car and drove out of the dock parking lot. Instead of stopping there and slowly looking at the map to find the address, we went up the road and walked all the way, looking for the location of Mount Eden.
It turns out that I guessed it right. Mount Eden is Auckland's famous extinct volcano. It has been silent for hundreds of years. Nowadays, the mountain green area looks like an ordinary small earth slope. On our way back, we passed by the remaining three teams who just arrived in the city center.
"They seem to be in a hurry." Dillon, who was sitting in the driver's seat, saw the scene inside the car facing us clearly. "In the end this team was the police couple. It seems that the women are complaining that the men have gone the wrong way ... oh, now they are discussing why we are returning so soon."
It seems that our speed quickly caused the fear of other groups. The cowboys and model teams passing by before could not help but say this when they saw us. The photographer who followed us was surprised that we could know what the opponent was saying in the passing car.
After thinking about it, I decided to directly confess our lip skills in a personal interview. Of course, facing the camera, the information that can deepen the audience's impression on us, I will not hesitate to provide. And in the course of the game afterwards, using these tips to get news from other teams will not be less. Now it can be said to be vaccinated in advance.
Half an hour away, we quickly reached the extinct volcano Eden in Auckland. The car can drive directly to the top of the mountain, and we finally got off the car in the parking lot on the top of the mountain. The sky was already bright at this time. The shadowy figures and the Maori war songs that rang through the sky clearly showed us where we were going.
"The roadblock task can only be completed by one person, and the person who knows everything about Qiuhao will be able to complete the task faster." Standing in front of dozens of Maori warriors and dancing traditional war dances, I took over the handed over from the program team. Read new clues.
Obviously? Well this is obviously not a physical task. I turned my head and looked at Dillon. He stood behind me very casually, but his eyes forced on the Maori warriors not far away. Maori warriors are bare torso and dressed in primitive tribal style in winter and still very cold weather.
The face of each Maori warrior has a black totem tattoo covering the entire face, and there are various totem tattoos on the arms and chest. During the ten-hour flight, I learned a bit from the travel brochure I bought at the airport with the map. For Maori, tattoos represent status.
The more tattoos, the man with the full face is the most powerful warrior in the tribe. Although in the 21st century, many young Maori people no longer have tattoos on their faces, but in New Zealand, Maori old people in their forties and forties, people still often see tattoos representing their identity on their faces.
Of course, the dozens of young Maori men who are now extras invited by the show crew are actually painting tattoos on their faces. But even so, the tattoos on the face and the long black hair tied to the back of the head, as well as the particularly strong muscular protrusions, still make these Maori warriors have a wild and special man.
They danced with the unique Maori war dance, which is usually a provocation to the enemy and a propaganda of their own momentum. Dillon has tensely tightened his nerves. It is a feeling of being threatened by crisis. In fact, I felt a little funny, his reaction was like a wild animal, and he saw the vigilance of the enemy.
"Who are we past? The clue says that people who need to be aware of Qiuhao to complete the task will have an advantage, so it should not be a physical confrontation." I stood up to him, blocking his sight and the Maori men's confrontation, and Said. "I think I should come this time to avoid the next task that requires physical energy."
Although there is no stipulation for speeding forward, the roadblock task cannot be completed by one of two people in a team, but I don't want to show weakness and laziness in front of the camera. So before participating in the game, we said that the task would be five or five points.
After Dillon blocked his vision, he was obviously loose. But after hearing what I said, his eyes were clear again. But after looking at me for a few seconds, he still lost, and took a step back to signal his approval. I found that the photographer who followed the photo looked at us with a strange look and then completed the communication decision without saying a word.
After saying to the camera that I would complete the barricade task this time, I was led to a wall with a dozen wooden reliefs hanging on it. The task requires me to find out among these dozens of Maori warriors based on the tattoo patterns carved on the selected wooden boards, and draw people who are exactly the same as the tattoo patterns on the wooden boards I have selected.
Now I finally know the reason why these dozens of Maori warriors are constantly dancing. Not only for the effect of the show or a kind of power, but more important to prevent the contestants from seeing the tattoos on their faces. And the expression of staring at the tongue can scare many timid girls.
Standing in front of the wooden relief wall, I looked at the tattoo on the wall, and compared it with the tattoos on the faces of the group of Maori warriors I saw before, and finally chose a tattoo pattern that seemed relatively rare.
Holding the board, I walked into the square of the Maori ethnic group under Dillon's gaze. Almost immediately, the hustle and bustle of the war song took another level, and my eardrum felt like it was going to burst because of the singing sound in my ear. I just felt a buzz in my ears. And as long as passing by, the surrounding Maori warriors will stare around with tongues.
In this case, whether you are cowering or grunting, you will only make the other party more excited and make the situation worse. So I just stared into their eyes as they smiled when they came together. This will give them a sense of discomfort, because in their eyes, I am too indifferent.
The walking court usually walks among the squares of the Maori warriors. I do n’t know why even the Maori people who came around would subconsciously not contact me physically. Because there should be a lot less obstacles set by the show team. Before Zoe and Joseph arrived, I found a soldier with a tattoo on his face that looked exactly like the tattoo on the wooden board in his hand.
It didn't look soft, but some stiff black hair was tied behind the head by hair accessories. Bronze skin and face tattoos are mixed with the soft faces of Easterners and the deep outlines of Westerners. His tattoos are more meticulous than many others, and the totem tattoos that stretch on the eyes make his eyes more dangerous.
When he saw me approaching him, like all the Maori fighters who had tried to surround him before, he stared and vomited fiercely. However, under my gaze, the fangs with fangs and grins also gradually felt unable to conform.
By the time I reached out and stroked the tattoo to the corner of his eye, carefully contrasting with the relief on the wooden board in his hand, he was already quiet like a soothed cat. I made sure that the other person was the person I was looking for, and I handed it to the other person.
Seems a bit embarrassed, he smiled at me and took a look down and examined it carefully. After checking, he nodded and gave me a thumbs up. Then I put my head together, as if preparing to give me a welcome greeting. The Māori meeting ceremony is similar to the European's ceremony, but it is closer.
The opponent's hand has touched my left neck side, and the next thing is the ceremony of his forehead resting on my forehead, and the tip of the noses of each other gently touching each other. Then he stopped suddenly, and his hand on the left side of my neck was pulled off ...
Well, it's Dillon ... when I saw his vigilance against the war dance of the Maori, I knew this kind of moth would happen. I saw him holding the other's wrist, and the Maori lad was a little annoyed before letting go of the other's wrist. He rightly said to the other party, "I respect your questioning, but I am sorry that this is my territory. Can you please give us another clue directly?" 2k novel reading network
