Psychological Control

Chapter 42

"You haven't even been in the water for 10 minutes!!!" Austin exclaimed exaggeratedly, "My God, we never expected to catch such a big fish!"

Mario's expression was also very surprised, and I could feel his eyes flashing and looked at me again.Then he laughed and said, "Thanks to you, Brian! Looks like our tribe won't go hungry anymore. Mind you, Austin and I didn't even put the bait on."

When Austin took the harpoon from my hand to take down the big fish and put it into the fishing net, I put my arms on the side of the boat to rest, and my feet gently hit the water under the sea surface.

"You look like one of those Pirates of the Caribbean mermaids that drag sailors to the bottom of the ocean," Austin quipped as he handed back the harpoon.

"After Poseidon Oz in the No.13 season, will our tribe have a siren?" Mario also said with a smile after throwing the baited fishing line into the sea.

I held a harpoon under the lens of the photographer on the boat, and slowly swam backwards. "For the tribe, it's my honor." I smiled and raised the harpoon in my hand, and sank to the surface of the sea again.

This day's fishing was fruitful. Within two hours, we caught three big fish and six small fish.Because the big fish in the shallow sea are basically wandering on the bottom of the sea, the three big fish are actually my masterpieces.Afterwards I was exhausted and returned to the boat to rest.

After a full night of food and drink, the next day was the immunity competition.

"I heard that the Beauty Tribe had a big meal yesterday?" Jeff said at the opening time before the game. "And you nicknamed Brian the Siren?"

Before I could think about how to react, Carmelita rushed to speak: "Brian is really amazing! I heard from Mario and Austin that he forked within 10 minutes after he got into the water." A big fish came up! It was as long as my arm!"

She acted as if she had a good relationship with me. I didn't express anything. I just waved my hand with a smile on my face and said, "Before I came here, I studied hard to be able to eat. A lot of things. Mario and the others also caught a lot of fish."

"Excellent," Jeff nodded with a smile, and turned to the Wisdom Tribe, who had won the second prize in the award match yesterday, and asked, "Wisdom Tribe, how are you doing? Did you also have a big meal?" "

After feeling that everyone's attention was shifted from me, I breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at Rhett.I saw that the atmosphere in the Wisdom Tribe was not very good.

Lawyer Casey said, "No... our tribe is obviously not good at fishing, so we can only eat rice. Fortunately, it's only the fourth day, and I'm not tired of eating rice yet." She spread her hands with a smile on her face.

"Okay, then let's start the second Tribal Immunity Competition!" Jeff smiled and began to explain the rules of the game slowly.

Much the same as the first game, without the favoritism given to women and wise tribes in the bonus game.The Power Tribe, who had lost face in the bonus match, won the first place in one fell swoop this time.The Beauty Tribe followed closely behind and got the second place.

The Wisdom Tribe lost its tribal immunity again, and everyone looked sad.Rhett's eyes fell on me pitifully.Apparently he was thinking of the night before yesterday when he was alone on an isolated island with a photographer. It must have been punishment like hell.

I also gave an apologetic look, because this time the beautiful tribe who won the second place couldn't decide who to send to the island of exile.At Jeff's request, after discussions with the Power Tribe, they decided to choose Rhett.

"Regardless of whether he got the statue of hidden immunity in the last trip to the exile island, he was chosen this time to narrow down the range of people who may get the statue of hidden immunity." After the discussion, the female policeman Sandra stood up Said.

Reid said nothing with a bitter face, nodded to the people in the Wisdom Tribe, and walked out.When passing by me, I took the opportunity to say: "I'm sorry brother, I chose you last time. Let me lend you this pot of water for now. I saw that you drank a lot of water in the game just now." I held up my The kettle was passed into his hand.

Since there was no change in the situation in the beautiful tribe, of course there was nothing in the kettle.But Rhett immediately understood what I meant. He took the kettle and held it in his hand, but said: "No need, if you give me your kettle, what will you drink when you go back?" Then he He shook the kettle again and handed it back.

This time, the cloth bag next to the kettle naturally contained the latest information about their tribe.

I took it with peace of mind, but when I took the kettle back in my hand, I felt a real gaze.My body froze, and I cautiously looked at Jeff, who was talking to the director team, and the camera crew from the corner of my eye.No one, no one is looking this way.

So are the contestants?Someone caught me and Red's little trick?

I was circling the contestants again, and I caught Dillon Sago's eyes!Damn, how did I forget that there is another veteran here who likes to watch his opponents carefully? !

"Hi, Brian. Cooperation?" I saw him wink at me and silently lip-sync.Then I saw him make a few gestures with his hands next to his legs, which are the traditional combat gestures of the army, indicating a two-sided attack.

Cold sweat broke out on my forehead.The last time he greeted me at the bonus match, I thought it was weird.Why would a man who believes that silence is golden suddenly want to socialize?He discovered the relationship when Rhett and I first exchanged messages.

I thought Dillon would be a single-minded, inflexible traditional soldier.Who knew that this man was indeed a traditional soldier, but he was a senior officer who had brains and was good at commanding troops.

I stared at him blankly for several seconds, and then replied with my lips: "Let me go back and think about it." My subordinate made a small combat gesture representing an ambush, signaling to let him keep this secret .

"It's a good idea for you to play a spy war on a reality show." I saw a smile in the corner of his eyes, and slowed down the silent speech in his mouth, just to let me read what he wanted to say through reading The lip language was clearly seen.

ok, very good.After returning to the tribe, I fell on the "bed" under the shed of the shelter in agitation, not wanting to move.When Dillon discovered my little actions with Reid, it was completely beyond my expectation.It can be said that Rhett and I have a handle in his hands.

If he told the program team, a more serious treatment could be to directly let Reed and I retire.And if he tells the power tribe about his alliance, then I think the secret alliance plan with Rhett after entering the merger is over.With such a scheming performance from the beginning, who would not be vigilant and want to get rid of us in advance, no matter in the tribes of me and Rhett?

"Brian, what's the matter with you?" Anna came over after picking up firewood, saw me lying on the bed, and asked.

"It's okay." I propped up the bed with my hands and sat up all at once. "Where are Mario and the others? Going to sea again?"

"Yes, they saw that you seemed to have no strength, so the two of you planned to go fishing by yourself." Anna squatted beside her and replied, throwing the branches into the fire and setting them up little by little.

"It looks like it's going to rain today." I looked up at the sky, which was still dark in the afternoon. "I'm going to pick some coconuts."

This is of course an excuse.Although I really don't want to rest without doing anything, my real purpose is to find a place where no one is around, and take a good look at what Rhett wrote in the note.

In the note he gave me for the first time, he only introduced the identities and personalities of their tribe members.But this time, the Wisdom Tribe went through a tribal meeting.In other words, there must be a distinction between power factions and alliances in the tribe.

"Is our hidden alliance still counting?" Anna said suddenly after seeing me standing up.At this time, Carmelita and Jenny seem to have gone to the beach to find food as an excuse to play, so it is indeed a good time for the two of us to chat.

I looked down at Anna with a smile and said, "What are you worried about? Compared to you, I have to worry about you unilaterally tearing up the agreement and turning to Austin instead? After all, he seems to really like you."

Anna couldn't help but rolled her eyes when she heard the words, she said helplessly: "Come on, Brian, you won't even believe this. Austin doesn't have the brains to play this game well, he looks more like In order to have a good time to play."

"And if we really ally with him, according to his way of expressing his inner thoughts directly on his face, he should be discovered by you and Mario soon." Anna is obviously very clear about the current situation, she Reasonable analysis said: "You have acting skills and brains. How could I give up such a good choice and choose a bad one."

I saw that the film crew seemed to have discovered that we were having a secret conversation, and a cameraman ran over with a camera on his shoulder.Well, it seems that unless I can find an excuse to get rid of another photographer, Rhett's note is not to be read.

The photographer ran over and made an interrupt gesture, turned on the video recording function, and signaled us to continue.

I shrugged and continued to talk to Anna: "But I thought you would think Mario would be a good choice besides Austin."

"He's too confident, and it's easy to offend people by following him. Bryan, is the hidden alliance you told me last time still counting?" Anna continued to ask in front of the camera.This can be regarded as letting the audience notarize our agreement. If Carmelita and Jenny are both eliminated, if I join forces with Mario and Austin to eliminate her, my image may not be very good.

But anyway, I don't intend to change my decision, because Anna is also a smart person.It is more useful to cooperate with smart people than those who are suspicious and have no brains.

I nodded, reached out to her and said, "Of course it counts. You confuse Austin, and I will stabilize Mario. My alliance agreement with you will last until the merger." Until the merger, because after that I There are other plans.

"Very good! Happy cooperation, Siren Brian who can confuse people!" Anna stood up and blinked at the camera, then shook my hand back.She didn't notice my verbal pitfalls.
