Psychological Control

Chapter 89

"Go to Manila, Philippines, and take a taxi to the square in the center of the city, 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 started almost at the same time.The four of them took the clue card from Phil at the same time, and I read it aloud.

"Manila, Philippines!" Sam shouted excitedly at his brother Dean: "I've always wondered what this one of the largest cities in Asia, called New York of Asia, is like!"

"Let's go to the travel agency and check the nearest flight," I said to Dillon, pocketing the clue card. "Are you going to act together? This will save you a little taxi fare."

Anyway, they depart almost at the same time, so it doesn't matter if you go to the travel agency first.And it is always more reassuring to put competitors in your sight range than not to see them.

Even if there are only two business class seats left on the nearest flight, there is a very small chance of this happening.I also made preparations in advance, not only when we put the luggage in the rear trunk, we put it last, so when we took it out, our backpack was on the top.

And Dillon and I used the computer in the lobby of the hotel to translate a Chinese question about the flight before going to bed yesterday.This allows us to complete the consultation one step faster after entering the travel agency, and get the ticket faster than others.

The last news I got from the travel agency was that the latest flight was three hours later.We need to transfer from Lijiang to Guangzhou, and then fly from Guangzhou Baiyun Airport to Manila.For the connecting time, we chose to reserve enough two hours instead of the fastest one-hour interval.

Departing from Lijiang at ten o'clock in the morning, our plane landed in Manila, the harbor of the Philippines, at half past six o'clock in the evening.Those on the same plane included Sam and Dean, Zoe and Joseph who caught up with them during the three-hour wait, David and Kurt.And of course James and Sid, who came from behind and joined us from the next flight in between.

What makes people feel ridiculous is that the confident police team Tevez and Vera, as well as the pair of blonde stunners Lucy and Louise who followed them, chose because they were too confident in their own speed One hour of connecting time, the result missed the flight.You can only wait for the next flight in 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 did not hesitate to ignore the waiting line of at least ten meters, and rushed directly to Taxi station.He sat up before everyone could react.

Immediately after, Zoe and Joseph, as well as James and Sid reacted first, and grabbed a taxi after us.Taking the lead along the way, looking at the exotic streets where the night market has already begun, it feels like a second-tier city in China.There are also jeepneys with Philippine characteristics running staggeredly on the street.

Jeepney is the most commonly used means of transportation in the Philippines. It is a van jeep with a canopy. There are two rows of seats facing each other in the compartment. Passengers can say hello and get on and off at any time.Jeepneys were originally used as a means of transportation for American soldiers during World War II.An assembled car that has been refitted with old car parts and inspected by the Transportation Bureau.

Randomly flipping through the manuscripts in my hand, when I was waiting for a connecting flight at Guangzhou Airport, I used the airport network and the computer on the trolley to find out and copy down some little knowledge about the Philippines. The flat and boring text is actually connected with the things around me.

Watching the taxi take us closer and closer to the downtown square, while the surrounding food stalls are getting denser and denser.Suddenly a bad idea came to my mind.The clue card this time obviously led us directly to the mission location of the roadblock mission. Unlike before, there was no pre-existing wayfinding information.

This only shows one problem, this task is definitely not a good one.

Suddenly, I regretted that when I was in Japan, Dillon had to complete the roadblock task of practicing archery.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 to make myself equal to Dillon in the number of missions completed.

Sure enough, when I arrived at the food stall, I took the clue card handed over by the stall owner smiling and gloating.I almost read it with a blank face, the requirements of the roadblock mission this time.

"Each team needs to use eight local delicacies, wool duck eggs..." When I read the name of the last delicacy, I finally couldn't hold back the smile on my face.Hairy duck eggs are the signature dish of roadside stalls in Manila, and as the name suggests, these eggs are duck eggs that are about to hatch. The duck inside has already formed, mixed with egg whites and long-haired ducklings.

If we compare most of the delicacies in China, I can accept fish head and fish eyes, pork liver and chicken kidney.Hairy eggs are beyond my acceptable range, just as disgusting as pig brains.

"My God!" came a terrified cry from behind me, it was Zoe's voice.They followed closely behind us and took no time to crack open the first duck egg.And here's the result.

"Hahahahaha!!!" Zooey's younger brother Joseph pointed at Zooey's hand, which was full of mucus and half an unformed duckling, and laughed gloatingly.The siblings, who liked to love and kill each other after staying out of the affair, began to show their presence without any scruples.

With the same blood combination, Dean smashed an egg, peeled it off, and handed it to his younger brother Sam's mouth with a swish.There was an expression of uncontrollable excitement on his face, and there was nothing better than the feeling of cheating his brother. "Come on, Sam! I know you can!"

Compared with them, Dillon and I just lowered our heads and peeled the eggs silently.Almost seeing the first feathery duck egg I peeled off with my own hands made me want to throw this strange-shaped thing out of my hand.But there was a group of Filipino citizens around, and a camera pointed at me, forcing me to make it impossible for me to do such a substandard thing.

Sometimes being able to overcome one's own psychological barriers and challenge new things is also a way to show a person's comprehensive strength.So I can't show weakness here.

Rejecting Dillon's suggestion to play instead of me, I raised my head blankly and swallowed like a pill, and put the duck egg that Dillon had peeled aside into my mouth.Then after swallowing a mouthful, he picked up the water bottle and poured water down his throat to make sure he could swallow it.

……

"Ugh, my god. What are you eating, Brian, it's so disgusting..." James and Sid rushed over when I started the third one.As we passed by, James glanced at me and said.

"Pfft!" I, who was totally defenseless, couldn't hold back and choked, and sprayed it out.Wiping my mouth and the water that flowed from the corner of my mouth with my hands bitterly, I couldn't help but give James a blank look, and said, "...shut up...go eat yours..."

"Okay..." Under Dillon's stare, James smiled dryly and waved his hands to indicate that he was not malicious. Then, under the action of Sid pulling his backpack helplessly, he backed up to another empty table next to us. .

"But speaking of it, Brian, why do you look so lustful even after eating such a disgusting thing?" I frowned and calmed my breathing, and after hearing James' teasing, I shrugged and pointed to the surrounding crowd In the crowd, there are a group of women who are staring at me.

It was okay if I didn't pay attention at first, but once I noticed so many people watching, I always feel a little awkward when I eat.But fortunately, I kept hypnotizing that I was just eating eggs, so with a good psychological quality, I almost took one bite at a time. I quickly solved eight duck eggs and got the next clue card first.

"Go to the bicolisarogtsi bus station in Quezon City and check in with one of the three tour buses. The departure time of each bus is 10 minutes apart. Take a ten-hour bus ride south to a village in Daraga Province." I read ten When he was young, even Di Lon had a helpless expression on his face.

Ten hours is really too long, but there is nothing we can do about it.Looking at the next clue, I wrote: "This village is located at the foot of an active volcano. Find a local snake charmer there, and get the next clue from him."

"It looks like we're going to spend the night in the car. When we get there, getting out of the car is the task of finding the way, and the clues after that should tell us the location of the detour task." Dillon thought for a while and suggested: "Go and sign in first. car, and then go shopping outside to buy some food and motion sickness medicine that will be eaten in the car."

After deciding on the goal, it is the implementation. After we signed in, we bought a lot of bread and instant noodles as dry food on the road.I even bought a pillow for my neck and motion sickness medicine, just in case, if someone in the other team gets motion sickness.The friendship of giving charcoal in the snow can always be exchanged for some hidden benefits.

On the same bus as ours, Sam and Dean were the second to arrive at the sign-in because they were stuffed by his brother, and finally got the clue with a frowning face.Mentally strong father and son David and Kurt.

James and Sid, as well as Zoe and Joseph fell on the second trip.They boarded the check-in for the second bus, and the third bus will no doubt be reserved for the police couples and blonde babes who arrived two hours late.
