Psychological Control - Chapter 98
“Lucy and Louise, I’m very sorry. You are the last one to arrive at this relay station, so you will be eliminated from this competition.” Phil’s voice came from a distance, while standing at the point of speed On the carpet of the Forward Sign, there were Tevez and Willa.
The end of this stop is at the covered market in the small town of Oxford. Based on the principle of watching liveliness, after the first one reached the end, Dillon and I did not choose to leave immediately, but stayed in a cafe not far from the point of focus, watching the order of arrival of the team across the glass.
James and Sid also arrived here just five minutes after we reached the finish, and then Zoe and Joseph were not too surprised. Surprisingly, it wasn’t the two cowboy brothers who arrived at the fourth, but the careful fathers and sons David and Kurt.
Sam and Dean arrived after them, because they lost their way several times on their way to the terminal. David and Kurt were particularly surprised when they saw them, because Tevez and Vera, who had arrived before the father and son, chose to turn Sam and Dean back. Unfortunately, what they don’t know is that Sam and Dean are actually in front of them, so the return is invalid.
The rest was because Lucy and Louise dragged on for too long during the guard changing ceremony, fighting with Tevez and Vera for the last place to survive. It is a pity that the two teams arrived almost at the same time because of their poor physical fitness and lost in the final race. Eliminated by a shortfall.
“It seems that before we use that fast-forward card in the next round of the game, we have to find a way to pit this hard-dead police couple.” I pursed my lips and drank the last sip of coffee, and pulled Dillon to the station. Get up and leave the cafe.
…
After an overnight break, another round of games began.
“The destination this time is Venice of Water City. After arriving in Venice by air, take a water taxi to the San Marco Campanile to get the next clue.” I looked at the clue in my hand, and then a smile appeared on the corner of my mouth and looked up at Dillon. “This is an opportunity to digest the fast-forward card while playing with the police.”
“What do you want to do?” He looked back at me with some interesting eyes, and the meaning of his eyes seemed to say, ‘I know you ca n’t be honest until the end of the game. ’
“First we have to find a travel agent to book a ticket,” I folded the clue card back into my pocket, then shrugged and didn’t answer his question directly. “Fast forward looks fun, but it really makes my head idle. A prank-like conspiracy to solve unfriendly opponents can at least make me bored.”
The flight from London to Venice, because our departure time as the first team was early in the morning, and the train and the earliest flight to London were even three hours later than the latest arrival of Tevez and Vera. So again everyone got on the same plane.
This time the plane had just landed, Dillon still stood in front of Tevez and Vera. But this time we did not immediately carry our luggage and rushed out of the plane. It was slowly dressing up his dress, which made Tevez, who was blocked behind the passage, more angry.
Because the rest of the group, including Zoe and Joseph, who wanted to wait for us, were waved by me to leave ahead. In other words, we and them became the slowest two of the six groups. If it wasn’t for Willa’s fear that she would be disqualified from the show team, and Tevez was caught in advance, she would hit Dillon’s fist. It is estimated that physical friction would be inevitable.
Only after all the other teams hurried off the plane did Dillon and I get off the plane under the push of Tevez and Vera. As soon as they got off the plane, they started flying, and Dillon and I looked at each other and immediately followed them to the port where the water taxi was taken.
Then, as I expected, because the price of water taxis is very expensive, the other four teams that arrived before have already cooperated to share the cost of a water taxi. Seeing this scene, Willa couldn’t help but whispered a curse, and then came towards us subconsciously.
“Why? I used to stay in too many hotels before, and now I don’t have any extra money to pay my own fare?” I waved at them with a smile. “Would you like to take a car with us?” The smile on his face was like a crocodile smile.
When Tevez was reluctantly pushed by Vera onto the water taxi we were sitting in, I spoke to the driver in Italian: “Take us around a few waterways to visit some attractions before heading to Saint-Ma But the clock tower. “
“What did you say to him?” Willa asked with great vigilance, apparently she had a very strong alert to us who had been hostile to them before. However, even if she was wary, she would not think that we would waste our time just to delay them. After all, killing an enemy by one thousand and hurting eight hundred by itself sounds uneconomical.
“I told him we were going to the St. Mark’s Campanile.” I replied innocently to her: “Otherwise, what else can I say?” The water taxi driver also understood English, but because I was a model Ling’s ambiguous meaning, he didn’t notice any difference from what I told him in Italian before.
Because our destination was ultimately the San Marco Campanile, but in the hearts of Willa and Tevez, we went directly to the destination. However, in the request received by the driver, although the last destination was still the destination, the middle will take a lot of long distances because it took us to tour the attractions.
The two ran out of breath from the airport before, so they spent a full ten minutes after boarding the boat to calm the increase in adrenaline hormones caused by intense exercise. And after the breath was steady, they were tired quickly because of the journey on the plane, and they showed fatigue on their faces.
So until this water taxi carrying us arrived in the center of Venice, and passed several attractions on several main waterways, it was still not far from the iconic building of Venice, the San Marco Campanile. Recently. Tevez and Vera found it wrong.
“Brian! Are you sure you told the driver our destination, San Marco’s Campanile?” Tevez couldn’t bear it anymore. He was blocked and invisible by the waterways, boats between the popular tourist attractions. The situation at the destination made the situation mixed. “Is this driver driving his speedboat and deliberately taking us around the road ?!”
After waiting for us to make any statement, he bent over from his seat and stood up, and walked towards the driver in front of the speedboat. I saw him open the door of the cabin and shouted angrily at the driver: “Hey! Are you sure you took us to the San Marco Campanile? We are going to the San Marco Campanile, immediately!”
The driver was taken aback by Tevez, and the next second response was anger. “Calm! Calm, sir! What are you trying to do? We are rushing there. You should go back and sit down!”
“You’d better not take us around the wrongs, otherwise we won’t pay you more for those wrongs.” Tevez, who had been forced to suppress his anger because he had been with us for a long time, couldn’t recover mood.
The driver became more angry at this inexplicable duty, and he shouted back: “I just took you on a round trip on the water tour route according to your request! This is the request of that gentleman!” Hand pointed at me through the transparent cabin glass. “We are licensed businessmen, and we can’t intentionally do that kind of ridiculous thing!”
“What ?!” Almost at the same time, Vera and Tevez’s eyes widened, and their lips were slightly surprised. Willa stood up angrily and shouted, “I knew … I knew there was something wrong! You should waste your time to delay us! Ha! It’s ridiculous!”
The corner of my mouth held a smile as usual, shrugging my hands and shouting, “What’s wrong? I finally came to the famous Venice of Water City. I just wanted to take a good look at it before the game started. And we did go to Saint Mark Campanile? I didn’t lie to you. “
“You lied! You mustn’t say that to that driver!” Vera was so angry, she turned to Tevez, “Tell the driver that we should immediately go to the San Marco Campanile from the nearest route, the sooner The better! “
“Okay, but you need to know that I haven’t told you all the facts, and it doesn’t prove that what I just told you was a lie.” I said with a smile to the photographer who was shooting at us with a camera and surprised at the same look: ” I just told him in Italian that we wanted to visit some famous places before we went to the destination, the Campanile of San Marco. “
“Asshole! Do you think you are slowing us down, will we be slower than you when we are on the mission? Not necessarily! By the time it is unclear who will die!” This time it was Tevez’s turn to comfort his wife. Now, he yelled at us as he walked into the cabin and held Willa.
“No.” Seeing the driver embarrassed, he drove the boat to the berth next to the bell tower of San Marco. I waved and signaled to Dillon to pay for our part of the account with a smile on his face.
Looking at the conspicuously fast forward clue under the clock tower in the distance, I continued: “We don’t intend to compete with you on any roadblock task. Because you will be the last person to complete the task and be at least thirty behind the other teams. Minutes. “As I said, I took out the fast-forward card in my belt. After Dillon handed the money to the driver, I carried my backpack and jumped ashore happily.
“You must hurry up,” I stood on the shore and smiled and waved to the police couple who had always been unwilling to us. “Continue to argue with the driver about the car money, it will only make you lag behind other teams for a longer time. “
After speaking, Dilong and I went to the clue box without returning, leaving the two couples in desperate anguish behind us and other vocabulary that would corrupt their image in front of the camera. 2k novel reading network
