Psychological Control

Chapter 30

The night in New York is different from the empty streets in Palo Alto.This is the time for New Yorkers to relax and entertain. Nightclubs, bars, and high-end restaurants everywhere reflect the feasting and feasting of this metropolis.

I leaned against a lively street full of bars and nightclubs, playing with my phone.During the day, there is no one here, but at night like this, there are people coming and going, and everyone is dressed brightly.Of course, maybe after the early morning, one by one will go back reeking of alcohol.

In the chat room on the mobile phone, I accidentally mentioned my itinerary in the chat.

[Mr. Hat]: You went back to New York for the Survivor interview? !That reality TV show? ! ! !

[Mosquito]: Oh... what a waste!What a waste!How about learning some techniques with me?It's rare to see a young man as smart as you these days.

Listening to the tone of the mosquito, I can't help but feel a little funny.That tone was like those fake Taoist priests in Chinatown, holding a small notebook, pulling the passing children around and saying, I think you have strange bones and are very suitable for martial arts.Mr. Hat is Neil Caffrey's nickname in the chat room, which shows how persistent he is in playing with his hat.

Hearing the news that I was going to join Survivor, both of them sighed.That's right, after all, in their opinion, it was a game where survivors worked hard for a month and only earned $100 million.Earning less and paying more is not worthwhile at all.

For these two masters of financial fraud, this rudimentary social game is a no-failure, and $100 million is not one-tenth of one of their moves.

[Apprentice Carl]: It's because of his cleverness that he doesn't want to become a mouse caught by a cat like Mr. Hat! :) I am a good baby who is content with life.

[Mosquito]: (horrified) (horrified) You, an antisocial personality, are you a good baby who is content with life? !

[Mr. Hat]: (sweating) Carl, you're too careful.

My name in the chat room is Apprentice Carl, who is of course an alias they know.In fact, the three of us are not the only ones who have access to this chat room.I can often see people entering the chat room to ask Mosquito to do business, and if Mosquito is interested, they will switch to private chat.I usually just talk when it's just the three of us, and watch the screen the rest of the time.

In the chat room, the three of us appeared most often.

Speaking of which, if Neil Caffrey and Mosquito want to meet, there is no limit under the indulgence of a tolerant caretaker like Peter.But maybe it's a relationship they used to get used to. Even if Neil is caught by the FBI now, there are very few people looking for Neil and Mosquito at the same time in the chat room.But when they are bored, they still like to chat in the chat room.

On weekdays, from the chatting in the chat room, I learned not only Neil's most proficient language skills of manipulating people's hearts, but also the sullen personalities of these two people.Mosquitoes often complain that Neil can't walk when he sees a woman, and now he can't walk when he sees Peter the cat.

Neil also often satirizes the problem of mosquitoes being good teachers.That's right, the password and address of the chat room were given to me by Mosquito, but Neil didn't stop it.Mosquito said that he saw the appearance of Neil when he was young in me, so he wanted to teach a good mouse that was smarter and would not be caught by the police cat.

Watching their exaggerated responses, I just wanted to call back.Out of the corner of my eye, I saw a hurried figure bumping towards me, without giving me a chance to react and turn around.The mobile phone in his hand slipped out of his hand after being hit by someone, and then the screen went black.

The self-protection program in the chat room will automatically exit five seconds after the phone screen is lost, let alone automatically lock the screen, so I just feel sorry for the possibility that the phone may be broken.

"I'm sorry! I'm so sorry!"

Hearing the person who bumped into me, he apologized again and again.I bent down to pick up the phone from the ground, looked up, and then froze for a moment.

The man in front of him, whose dress didn't fit in with this place, was slender and tall.If I didn't recognize this face, I probably would have thought he would be a model.

Spencer Reed!Not long ago, during the David incident, the genius little doctor of the bau team I met in the police station!

He obviously had a deep memory of me too, his eyes widened and he blurted out, "Brian Moss?! Why are you here?"

"...Instead of asking me why I'm here, why are you running?" I twitched the corner of my mouth and reached out to touch my phone, but luckily the screen wasn't broken. "I didn't expect Dr. Genius to like to relax in this kind of place?"

Spencer Reed, who looks like a small otaku at first glance, would appear in this kind of bar and nightclub street, which surprised me a little.

"No, no, no!" Reid hurriedly waved his hands, and said anxiously, "I'm not here to play...Brian, did you see a 1.7-meter-eight, thin man wearing a black baseball cap passing by just now? "

"Are you here to handle the case?" I looked at him in surprise, panting.When did the fbi need someone who was supposed to be a paperworker to make an arrest?

"... Cough... Actually, I'm not a copywriter," Rhett blushed uncomfortably, he coughed and explained, "And... that's a thief. When I ordered food at a burger restaurant, he took my Wallets and mobile phones were stolen."

...what should I say?It's funny how a knowledgeable little milk cat was defeated by a big rat in the stinking ditch.It's still funny that the mouse is not good at stealing someone's wallet, but it even snatched it from the FBI?

"New York is used to stealing very fast," I glanced at him and said, "How much money do you have in your wallet? Is your ID in it? Why don't you use my mobile phone to call the police first, and then ask a friend to pick you up." .”

As a result, I, who originally planned to have a good experience of the nightlife in New York, turned around and took Reid to sit in the burger restaurant where his mobile phone and wallet were stolen.I also got him a beef burger combo.

Because I never imagined that, apart from contacting colleagues in the bau team, Reid has no friends who can help at critical moments in his daily life!This is a more lonely rhythm than me.

So after calling the police, since neither of us had any hope of getting our wallet and phone back, I took Red to dinner anyway, and he looked terribly hungry.

"So Hotchner gave you a vacation, and you are still encouraged by them to come to New York to interview the qualification of the reality show survivor?" It's a coincidence, I really didn't expect that he came to New York for the same purpose as me .

In the two or three days after Red captured David Vincent in the bau, he was involved in another serial killing case.To make matters worse, he was implicated in the case like me, and he was actually rescued at the last moment.

Aaron Hozner, director of the BAU department, had to obey the requirements of the psychological evaluation of the FBI headquarters, and forced Reid to take a week's vacation to let him adjust his mentality.So Garcia, the booby-loving computer tech in the department, came up with a great idea for a vacation.That's participating in Survivor.

Garcia's theory goes like this.Through various, ahem, hacker investigations, she discovered that the new season of her favorite reality show "Survivor" will be confronted with themes of beauty, strength and brains.

Mind, what a theme for Charred!Although everyone in the bau group is a demon, in the eyes of ordinary people, three doctors plus a few bachelor's degrees are still so young?So what if it's not a genius.

And in view of the fact that Reid has not applied for vacation like other members since he joined the bau.So the vacations saved up over the years are enough for him to participate in the 39-day Survivor shoot.

If he joined the filming of Survivor, it would be impossible for him to be called back urgently by bau during filming.Because Survivor is completely filmed in a primitive and isolated environment.Unless he was eliminated in the first round because of his low EQ.

Jason Gideon, who shouldn't be booing at first, also strongly agrees with this idea.He felt that living in that isolated environment for nearly a month helped Rhett relax the pressure brought about by work and temporarily forget everything in life.And the harsh living environment of the survivors obviously didn't make him notice.

"Yes," Reid said dejectedly, "I really don't understand, it's fine if Morgan and Al agree with Garcia's idea, why don't even Hochner and Gideon object!"

"Because survivors are really fun!" I winked at him jokingly, then deliberately stretched out my right hand to grab his hand and shake it. "Please take care of me when the time comes? Warriors of the Brain Tribe!"

"..." Reid blinked before reacting, and he said, "Moss, you also came to New York to participate in the survivor interview?"

"Yes." I smiled and spread my hands, "And I guess I should be in the beautiful tribe? Let's compete in a month. If both of us enter the tribe merger stage, you and I will make a secret alliance Let's go! Then we will definitely become finaltwo!"

The survivors' contestants are generally strangers to each other before the start of the competition.So there is no such thing as a pre-match alliance.But it happened by such a coincidence, it would be a pity not to take advantage of this opportunity.Is this a fateful decision, or is it because the fbi made me withdraw from America's Next Top Model as compensation?

All in all, this time I must win the championship!

"But I'm not sure myself, can I not be eliminated in the first round?" Although Spencer Reed said this, it was obvious that someone he knew was also participating, which made his eyebrows twinkle. His expressions became clearer.

I know Rhett will not be eliminated in the first round anyway, and the possibility of him making it to the tribal merger stage is 60.00%.

Because he is the fbi's psychological profiler, he will naturally be wary of those contestants who have a second plan in their hearts; because his appearance will not make people wary, but he will easily develop a good impression, so even if he is voted out At that time, people would not regard him as the first target; also because of his character, his character made him not become hot and aggressive even in a stressful environment, and naturally he would not be annoying.
