Psychological Control

Chapter 81

"Go to the City Life Hotel and go up to the roof and use the binoculars there to look for the dwarf ceramic dolls around the building. Once you find the doll, go there and take it down, and you'll get the next clue." The last Maori warrior The little brother still didn't carry it with Di Lung. After a stalemate, he quickly took out the clues, and I read out the clues he handed over.

Apart from the Sky City Hotel, Auckland's Urban Life Hotel is one of the most luxurious and high-end hotels.So it is actually very easy to find its location on the map.Before getting in the car and waiting for Dillon to start the car, he saw Zoe and Joseph's sibling team coming up from the mountain from a distance.

I quickly found the way from Mount Eden to City Life Hotel from the map, drew it with colored pens, opened the car window and stuck my head out, said hello to the two children, and walked away again.

Looking around the building with binoculars to find the dwarf was even less of a problem for Dillon.Like a thermal imaging scan, we hadn't been on the roof of the Metropolitan Hotel 10 minutes before Dillon spotted a dwarf tied to a tree in a nearby park.Because no one competed with us, we got the next clue very smoothly.

The next clue is printed on the base of the dwarf, which is a detour quest.There are two options for the detour mission, one is time is money, and the other is courage is success.

In a time where time is money, we need to drive to a kiwi fruit orchard an hour's drive from downtown Auckland, then stand in a box full of kiwi fruits, and blast two liters of kiwi fruit juice with our bare feet.Needless to say, in this task, there is no technical difficulty, the only thing that needs to be consumed is time.

In Courage Is Success, we only need to drive to the Sky Tower, which is only ten minutes away from the City Life Hotel, and then climb to the top of the Sky Tower to complete the two tasks of skywalking and high-altitude bungee jumping.There is no doubt that Dillon and I can see from the eyes that we must choose the branch of courage is success.

"I heard that when I came to Auckland, New Zealand, if I didn't jump off its iconic sky tower once, it would be a waste of time." I held up the dwarf ceramic doll in my hand and said to the camera with a smile, "So we must choose Courage is success. I have always loved the thrill of extreme sports, and I am grateful to The Speed ​​for giving me this opportunity."

While talking with a grinning grin, I leaned over to Dillon, who had a serious face because he always looked boring in front of the camera, and put my hands around his waist like a koala, and said, "Don't say It’s bungee jumping, even skydiving is nothing to Dillon. The No.1 relay station in the first round, we’re sure.”

Perhaps in the eyes of Chinese people who uphold the golden mean, such speeches will appear very arrogant and unpopular.But for Americans who are somewhat heroic, such a speech just hit their appetite.

From Urban Life Hotel to under the Sky Tower, we never ran into anyone.Putting on the equipment as quickly as possible, we followed the staff and took the elevator to the top of the 200-meter-high Sky Tower.Without any nonsense or hesitation, we stepped out directly after fastening the safety rope on our bodies.

The so-called walking in the air means walking out of the periphery of the sky tower with a safety rope tightly tied to the body, and walking around the periphery of the circle three times except for a one-meter-wide road under the feet and no other handrails around.Because it is the reason of the competition, we will not have staff to lead the way in front.

Even filming was done with camcorders strapped to our wrists, and helicopter-style remote-controlled cameras flying in the air.This means that at an altitude of 200 meters from the store, under the strong sea breeze, only the two contestants have to experience this time alone.

Perhaps for many others, this will always be a more time-consuming task than stepping on a kiwi to squeeze the juice.However, for me and Dillon, the foot of this meter-wide circle can be regarded as a flat ground.

Under the amazed attention of the surrounding program crew, including the staff of the Sky Tower, Dillon and I started to walk faster than ordinary people canter and jog after we got out and stood firm.It is under such circumstances that we even have the leisure and interest to tease each other.

"The close-up shots here are all self-help. How about a better shot?" I walked sideways around the foothold with an obvious arc, while lifting the portable camera strapped to my left wrist. He turned to Dillon and said. "Maybe I can go back and build a beautiful collection of clips like I did in Survivor."

"As long as you want." Di Lon said noncommittally, but the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned to show his good mood. "What are you going to do?"

Just as he asked, I had already reached the spot I had seen before.This is the most beautiful place around the sky tower. Behind us is the pier we have been to before the city boundary, and the blue sea can not see the horizon of the boundary.At this time, it is the time of sunrise, when the light is most dazzling and beautiful.

As far as Auckland's winter is concerned, it is also a rare sunny day at this time.Because of its proximity to the equator, the sky in New Zealand looks particularly low, dotted with white clouds, just like a painting.

I completely turned around to face Dillon, raised my hand to caress the left side of his neck, and said with a smile: "Since you were so reluctant to let that Maori warrior complete his meeting ceremony, you will replace him. Do as the Romans do." While speaking, I took a step forward with one foot, raised the heel of the back foot, and put my forehead on his forehead.

At such a close distance, besides the whistling wind, I could hear his breathing faintly.The hand on the side of his neck gently stroked the roots of his ears, where there was stubble that hadn't been shaved yet.Because I was so close, my eyes couldn't look directly into his eyes, but I still had the feeling of looking into his soul.

Our noses touched lightly, and we rubbed against each other in the Maori way of greeting each other.Then my head was held in Dillon's outstretched hands, and he kissed Lian's side down.Feeling this kiss at an altitude of 200 meters without any leaning around, I gently closed my eyes.

In this moment, our only dependence is on each other.And for me, in fact, in this world now, the only close person I can rely on is this man.He can't say those nasty sweet words, but as long as he is around, it will bring me an incomparable sense of security.

But for me, the most important thing is the sense of security.

Not only Brian, who is a child of a single-parent family, but also I was just a helpless orphan before this life, struggling to survive on my own.The nerves that are always tense can finally rest by someone's side.Because of this, he trapped me tightly, like a spider weaving a web, and the prey that fell into the web could never escape.

At this moment, and only at this moment, I stopped the mind that is no longer calculating all the time.I didn't even think about what kind of sensation would be caused by my actions with him because the crew of the Extremely Fast program broadcast it without editing.And what will become of a popular way to show affection when kissing during the Skywalk in Auckland's Sky Tower?

I didn't count the time when the kiss was over.Maybe it's a full half minute, or maybe it's just a few seconds that seem like time stands still.I opened my eyes and looked at the city of Auckland in front of me like a bird's-eye view.The helicopter-style remote-controlled camera flew around us dedicatedly, capturing the kiss in a 360-degree loop.

"Let's go, we still have the whole world waiting for us to travel." I smiled, "Even if it wasn't for the final reward of 100 million US dollars, I would not let go of the opportunity to travel at public expense."

Holding Dillon's hand and walking around the sky tower three times, we finally arrived at the original starting point and were picked up by the staff.Facing the prompt of the film crew to say a few words, looking at the camera, Dillon said helplessly: "Maybe it's because Brian usually doesn't like such a nasty way of holding hands, so he tried his best this time. "

After the air walk, due to safety considerations caused by wind resistance and inertia, high-altitude bungee jumping can only be performed by a single person.Because of my persistence, Dillon was the first to jump.After he jumped down without hesitation, I also stood on the platform after the staff checked the safety measures.

I stood on the edge, and my upper body was tilted out of mid-air due to the weight of the straps on my body.I looked up at the helicopter-style remote control cameras that surrounded me, and I showed a naughty smile. I loosened my hands holding the guardrail, and opened my arms and jumped out.

At a height of 200 meters, the time of stagnation in the air seems to make people think that they are flying.The feeling of falling is only for a moment at the beginning. In fact, people will not feel the feeling of weightlessness in the subsequent free fall.I opened my arms and watched myself fall again into the steel jungle from the top overlooking the city.

Relaxation is only temporary, and the confrontation with opponents in social games is like wild animals preying on the weak, and the modern jungle made of steel is our battlefield.

Fast forward to the first leg, Dillon and I easily won the No.1 victory.The reward that comes with No.1 is two fast-forward cards that have an incomparably huge advantage in the future.As long as a fast-forward card is used, we can skip any roadblock mission or detour mission.

In other words, we won a death-free gold medal.

Another fast-forward card, we need to give to another pair of contestants.And there is no doubt that the ones who get this fast-forward card will be our future steadfast alliance sister and brother team, Zoe and Joseph.
