MTL - Psychological Control-Chapter 89
"Go to Manila in the Philippines and take a taxi to the square in the city center and find the marked food stall. There you will get the next clue." Because they entered the relay station with Sam and Dean, So we set out almost at the same time. The four took the clue card from Phil at the same time, and I read it out loud.
"Manila, Philippines!" Sam shouted excitedly at his brother Dean. "I always wanted to know what this is called Asia New York, one of Asia's largest cities!"
"Let's go to the travel agency and check the most recent flight," I said to Dillon with the clue card in my pocket. "Do you want to act together? This will save a little money on taxis."
Anyway, they set off at almost the same time, so it doesn't matter when they go to the travel agency. And putting competitors in their own line of sight is always more reassuring than seeing each other.
Even if there were only two business class seats left on the latest flight, such a very small chance happened. I also made preparations in advance, not only when the luggage is placed in the trunk, we are the latter, so when we take it out, our backpack is placed on top.
And before going to bed yesterday, Dillon and I used a computer in the lobby to translate a Chinese questioning flight. This allows us to complete the consultation a step faster after entering the travel agency, and get tickets faster than others.
The last news I got at the travel agency was that the last flight was three hours later. We need to transfer from Lijiang to Guangzhou, and then fly from Guangzhou Baiyun Airport to Manila. We chose to reserve sufficient two hours instead of the fastest one-hour interval.
Departing from Lijiang at ten in the morning, and at half past six in the evening, our plane landed in the Philippine harbor, Manila. The same people were Sam and Dean, who caught up with Zoe and Joseph, David and Kurt in the three-hour waiting period. Of course, we have come up later and joined our James and Sid from the next plane when we were in transit.
What makes people feel ridiculous is that the confident police team Tevez and Willa, as well as the pair of blonde stunners Lucy and Louise who followed them, chose because they were too confident in their speed. An hour of connecting time, but the missed flight did not catch up. Can only wait for the next flight after two hours.
"Sir, please take us to the square in the city center. The sooner the better, thank you." After leaving the airport, Dillon and I ignored the waiting line that was at least a dozen meters long and rushed straight to the entrance. Taxi at the station. Sit up before everyone reacts.
Immediately after Zoe and Joseph, and James and Sid reacted, grabbed a taxi behind us. Taking the lead along the way, looking at the exotic streets where night markets have begun, it feels like a second-tier city in China. On the streets, there are jeepneys that are particularly Filipino.
Jeepney is the most commonly used means of transportation in the Philippines. It is a van with a canopy. There are two opposite rows of seats in the compartment, and passengers can greet them at any time. Jeepney was originally used as a transport for American soldiers during World War II. An assembly vehicle that has been modified by using old vehicle parts and inspected by the Transportation Bureau.
Feel free to look at the manuscripts in your hand. When you are waiting for a transfer at Guangzhou Airport, you can find and copy the little knowledge about the Philippines by using the airport's network and the computer on the trolley. I let these one by one. The flat and boring text is really connected with the things around.
Watching the taxi take us closer and closer to the downtown square, while the surrounding food stalls are getting denser. Suddenly I had a bad idea in my head. This time, the clue card obviously took us directly to the task location of the roadblock task. It was different from the previous one, and there was no previous wayfinding information.
This only illustrates one problem, this task is certainly not a good match.
Suddenly I regret that when I was in Japan, the task of practicing the roadblocks for archery made Dillon complete. Because he completed two roadblock missions in a row, even if I completed the roadblock mission in China, I still need to complete it again in the Philippines, in order to keep the number of tasks I have completed equal to that of Dillon.
Sure enough, when he arrived at the food stall, he took a look at the stall owner and smiled. I almost read it with no face, this time the request of the roadblock task.
"Each team needs to use eight local delicacies, hair duck eggs ..." When I read the name of the last delicacies, I finally couldn't help the smile on my face. Wool duck eggs are the signature dish of a manila street stall. As the name suggests, this kind of egg is a duck egg that is about to hatch out. The duck inside is already formed, mixed with egg white and long-haired duck.
If you compare most of Chinese cuisine, I can accept any fish head, fish eyes, pig liver, chicken kidney. Something like wool eggs is out of my acceptable range, just as disgusting as pig brain.
"My God!" A terrifying cry came from behind me, it was Zoe's voice. Immediately behind them, they knocked on the first feather duck egg. Then this is the result.
"Hahahahahaha!" Zoe's brother, Joseph, pointed at Zoe's hands, full of slime and half unshaped ducklings, and laughed loudly. My sister and brother who like to fall in love and kill each other after leaving themselves, began to show the presence without any worries.
With the same bloodline combination, Dean smashed an egg and smashed it open, and then passed it to his brother Sam's mouth. There was an uncontrollable expression of excitement on his face, and nothing felt better than this feeling of pitting his own brother. "Come on! Sam! I know you can!"
Compared with them, Dillon and I just bowed their heads and peeled the eggs. It was almost the first hairy duck egg I had peeled off that made me want to throw out this weird thing in my hands. However, a group of onlookers of the Filipino citizens also had a camera lens pointed at me, forcing me to prevent me from doing such substandard things.
Sometimes whether you can overcome your psychological obstacles and challenge new things is also a way to show a person's comprehensive strength. So I cannot show weakness here.
Rejecting Dillon's suggestion to play for me, I raised my head expressionlessly as if swallowing a pill, and put Dillon's peeled feather duck egg in his mouth. After swallowing, take the water bottle and pour water into your throat to make sure you can swallow it.
...
"Uh, my god. Brian, what are you eating, so disgusting ..." James and Sid rushed over when I started the third. James glanced at me as he passed us.
"Oh!" I was totally unprepared and rushed to it, spraying it out. I wiped my mouth and the water flowing from the corner of my mouth with a hateful hand. I couldn't help but give James a white look and said, "... shut up ... eat yours ..."
"Okay ..." Under Dillon's stare, James smirked and waved to indicate that he was not malicious, and then, with the helpless action of Sid pulling his backpack, he backed up to another empty table next to us .
"But speaking, why do you look so angry even if you eat such a disgusting thing?" I frowned and calmed my breath. After hearing James teasing, I shrugged and looked around. In the crowd, the women who stared at me straight.
It was okay not to pay attention. As soon as I noticed so many people watching, it was always awkward to eat. But fortunately, I have been hypnotizing in my heart that I am only eating eggs, so I almost took one bite with a good psychological quality, and quickly solved eight feather duck eggs, and took the lead to get the next clue card.
"Go to the bicolisarogtsi bus station in Quezon City, and sign in at one of the three tour buses. The departure time of each one is thirty minutes. Take a ten-hour bus and head south to a village in Daraga Province." I read ten When I was young, I felt helpless expression on Dillon's face.
Ten hours is really too long, but we have no choice. I looked at the next clue and wrote: "This village is located at the foot of an active volcano. There I found a snake snake in the area and got the next clue from him."
"It seems that we are going to spend the night in the car. After getting there, getting off the car is a way finding task, and the clues after that should tell us where the detour task is." Dillon thought and suggested: "Go to the first car first The car, and then go out and buy some food and motion sickness on the car. "
After the goal was decided, it was executed. After we checked in, we bought a lot of bread and instant noodles as dry food on the road. I even bought a pillow that rested on my neck. In addition to motion sickness medicine, just in case, if someone in the other team was motion sick. The sentiment in the snow can always be exchanged for some hidden benefits.
The same bus with us was stuffed with his brother, and finally frowned and got the clue. The second Sam and Dean arrived. Especially strong father and son David and Kurt.
James and Sid, along with Zoe and Joseph, fell on the second trip. They got on the second bus check-in, and the third one will no doubt be reserved for police couples and blondes who are two hours late. 2k novel reading network
