Psychological Control
Chapter 49
Mario eliminated the first tribal conference after the merger.
When Mario's torch was extinguished, his expression did not fluctuate, apparently not surprised by the result. On the way to the tribal meeting, he told me that he knew the result. He will go this time. Eventually he became the first judge on the jury.
Before he left, he gave me and Austin a cheering gesture. The elimination of Mario gave the three tribes a balance, which meant that the situation became more unclear. If I work hard at this time, there will be a great possibility of pulling one of our strength or wisdom to our side. But I don't want to.
I can't eliminate Dillon for the time being, because the gentleman promised. In other words, I can't immediately draw the wisdom tribe to the power tribe. Furthermore, Wisdom Tribe has Casey's woman who understands the situation very well, and it is unrealistic to form a solid alliance with them now.
On the other hand, if you pull the power tribe to the wisdom tribe. Then I would easily put Red in danger and expose him early to the possibility of hiding the idol. Participants in the power tribe are a big threat in the challenge. Not to mention the Dillon I am most worried about.
Therefore, I prefer to use someone else's hand to clean up the room for me before finally setting up a new alliance.
When the beautiful tribe is strong, everyone treats us as enemies. But what if we only have two people left? Then we will become free votes. Become a fragrant puppet that the power tribe and the intelligent tribe compete for. After Austin left, Anna's most trusted alliance was only me, and she did not have to believe her betrayal in a short time.
Although making yourself a free ticket does carry risks, opportunities are always accompanied by risks. And I don't intend to just make myself a free ticket that has been scrambled for grabs. I want to perform a jedi on the screen. In survivor history, nothing is more memorable than a wonderful mind game.
Oh, of course, the shark hunting event is not counted. Maybe this accident was a training that God gave me? Or a surprise gift.
So, the next person to leave is Austin.
"The second individual immunity game, start!" With Jeff's order, everyone started to move.
We were blindfolded into a huge artificial maze. And we need to collect five necklaces representing the elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth in the maze, and take the necklace to the center of the maze. The first person holding all the necklaces and standing in front of his name tag in the center of the maze wins.
Honestly, neither I nor the original Brian has a huge disadvantage. We are all idiots. Adding the two did not make us negative. So this time, all my sustenance was placed on Rhett.
The sooner our agreement with Dillon can be invalidated, the better, even if I still don't plan to join others to throw Dillon out this time. But without the prerequisite that he is not allowed to cast him out, it is also good.
"Ryder's progress is the fastest! He has got his first fire, walking in the maze is like a map in front of him! He has no confusion about the direction ... and on the other side, Dillon is chasing after him, The water area is lingering and is approaching the target. "Jeff's commentary was so loud that nine of us in the entire maze could hear it.
I am a bit passive, but I can't just stand in circles, it seems that I give up too easily. So I just fumbled for the walls and walked aimlessly. Then I felt like I was suddenly hitting a hot meat wall.
"Oh ...! It seems that Brian, who is extremely confused about his situation, suddenly hit Dillon who got back the first element of water! It seems that even Siren can't help him in the water area on the land. "Jeff's commentary sounded in a timely manner, letting me know who the person in front of was.
Even if my eyes were covered in a blindfold, no one could see it, but I couldn't help rolling my eyes. Then I quickly took a few steps back, trying to get out of the distance of one meter around Dillon. Without success, he grabbed his arm.
"Coincidentally, Brian. I have always felt like you were in this area, wandering aimlessly. Wasn't you vying for personal immunity this time?" Dillon's voice was even more blindfolded when I couldn't see Caught my attention. Now in the game, he still has a leisure time to chat with me? It is determined that the current situation, no one can cast him out?
"Not yet. But if you continue to pull me here to talk, the two of us will basically give up." I took off his hand holding my arm and said angrily. After the shark hunt, Dillon and I became more and more familiar with it.
Although he did not like his approach, what surprised me was that, in fact, I didn't feel annoyed by him in his subconscious. It was so close that it didn't make me feel uncomfortable. So far only Chris has done it.
I allowed Chris to step in and take off guard to get Chris closer, because I thought I could completely suppress Chris and easily analyze and control his thoughts and hearts. But Dillon? He is the opposite side of it. He deserves to let me subconsciously raise his body to guard, and refuses his approach.
His eyes were blinded, and he could not see the serious expression on Dillon's usual face and long straight lips. So I heard his helplessness and a smile from Dillon's voice.
"Ryder acquired his third element, and now he has three necklaces of fire, earth, and gold. He only needs water and wood to complete the task. On the other side, Dillon finally broke free of the Siren Brian ’s beauty. I thought that Dillon would be seduced by Siren like a legendary sailor and pulled into the deep ocean! ”Jeff did not forget to bring some humorous laughs to the show while he was broadcasting the battle situation live.
Experienced to the end of the host style, Jeff's words made several people laughed in the maze. It can be seen that the effect of this cold humor is good. Jeff is not without reason. After the shark hunt that shocked everyone, in the camp for the past two days, Dillon has always been unknown and shy about trying to talk to me, all of which were seen by other participants in the tribe.
I don't know what his motivation is, but I don't want others to think we are too close. In addition to possibly shaking the stability of the alliance in which they are located, such as Anna's concerns and Austin's doubts, there is also the possibility that Casey of the Smart Tribe can get rid of me as soon as possible. I didn't want to be in trouble myself until I had borrowed their hands to clear the room and let Austin leave.
But ... the real reason is actually the one I know best. All concerns about the alliance are just the most superficial reasons.
Dillon has had too much psychological impact on me. Just like the previous scenario. When confronted with Dillon, I would speak subconsciously without blurting out my brain. In general, I wouldn't say it casually, like nonsense nonsense that is easy for listeners to understand.
Maybe he didn't do it intentionally, but as long as he just made a few words, he could make my mood fluctuate obviously. This is too dangerous. So obvious emotional fluctuations should not happen to an anti-social personality.
With normal people's feelings is naturally good, but what I need is step by step treatment. Just like Chris can do. It's not the guy who makes the dopamine in my brain suddenly and excessively secreted.
Yes, in my contact with him in the past few days, I finally found that ... when I first saw him, my affection for him didn't disappear because he discovered the small movement between me and Rhett. Exhausted. Instead, it was buried deeper, and from time to time, it broke through the siege of reason and made trouble for me.
"Dillon got his fourth element, but at this time Rhett had left the water area without hesitation and ran quickly towards the center of the maze! I have to say that Spencer Reid was indeed young He received three doctorate degrees and two master's degrees. His memory is amazing and terrible! He has never touched the direction indicators in the maze all the way down. "
The road he has traveled is in his mind. I listened to Jeff's live broadcast, and gently picked up the water element necklace that was hard to touch. He is a very good bau doctor who is very good at geography profiling. Even Dillon cannot be better at this challenge than him.
"Ryder has been granted a personal waiver this time, and one person will be eliminated from the tribal meeting tonight!" Jeff officially announced.
I pulled down the blindfold in front of my eyes, and the glare of the sun made the dark eyes fit, leaving me with sore tears that I couldn't open them. The cameraman shot me in front of me.
Rhett received personal immunity, and Dillon's agreement with us was set aside. Because we only agreed that when he did not get personal immunity for the first time, he could not be eliminated. In return he would not tell the show crew about me and Rhett in private. Maybe he didn't realize that the agreement would come to an end so quickly, right?
... or, did he intentionally invalidate the agreement in order to reduce my vigilance?
Before going to the tribal meeting tonight, I would try to persuade her to give up the idea of wanting to cast me out this time in front of Casey, the calm woman. Austin had to go, and I had to lead Casey without a trace.
After returning to the tribe, the beautiful tribe without Mario looked like a loose sand on the surface. Or at least Austin looked like a mouse trapped in a mousetrap, anxious to find Sandra, whom he thought was the most promising.
Watching Austin pull Sandra towards the uninhabited shore, I gave Anna a slightly restless look, dropped her attention on Casey, who was in the camp, and spoke. Analyze the situation with her.
"Anna, you don't have to worry about it. Anyway, the one who is out this night won't be you. The danger is only me and Austin." I said to her in a voice that only Anna and I could hear. Stin won't push you out as a shield, and I certainly won't. I'm confident that even if Sandra is talked about, Dillon won't promise to cast me out. "
In fact, between me and Dillon, except that I would not vote for him when he did not get personal immunity for the first time, he was not obliged to stay in the game. But I bet that even if I didn't make him formally promise not to vote for me, he would not choose to vote for me.
Dillon, though not as superficial as he was, was a rigid soldier. But even if he has a city mansion in his chest, he would prefer Yangmou's ingenious strategy rather than the insidious cunning behind him.
But the situation that Dillon always wanted to talk to me yesterday and today was seen by the tribe owners. Although it showed Dillon's enthusiasm, it was enough to confuse Anna and make her think that I really have the confidence to stay in the game. Seeing that I have greater certainty than Austin, but I am not so sure that I can abandon her existing ally and stay close to Dillon.
"As long as you don't help Austin behind your back tonight, that's enough. I don't need your sincerity again, I just hope that our previous alliance agreement will work." I finally said to Anna, who agreed, and turned around. Walk towards Casey, who is not far away.
Behind the bushes, there is nothing more than the call of a songbird. Casey stood in front of me with impatient hands and arms around her face, and seemed to be expressing ‘see what you can say, boy, you ca n’t change my mind anyway’. She didn't even try to hide her emotions in front of me, placing a stinky face in front of the camera.
If it was someone else, such as Austin, she would simply give up the idea of talking to her. But I won't. I can't be excited by such a small shock.
"Kathy, I don't think we will talk about it after the merger." I raised a smile without being affected, and acting in the field has always been my specialty. "I want to talk to you about the alliance of your smart tribe and power tribe."
Casey still smelled her face, but her eyes moved slightly. This shows that she was surprised by my performance and the first words I spoke. Maybe she was expecting me to ask her why she thought so much about me? No, I'm not that stupid.
Lawyers debate in court, the most hope is to let the opponent fall into their logic. As long as they follow their pace, the winning percentage is almost 100%. If you can't get anything out of their expectation, there will be a deadlock in court.
"Oh? I think Brian, you should be a beautiful tribe. What does our alliance have to do with you?" Casey said.
In order to seize the initiative of the conversation, she gave me another set. Opening my mouth into the beautiful tribe, if I accidentally say according to her thinking, open my mouth and close the beautiful tribe, then I initially wanted to take myself out, and the idea of Austin out is not so good Speak up.
"You know it's the merger stage, what's the difference between the tribe and the tribe? I think you will pay more attention to your personal interests." I reverted to her topic and pulled the conversation back to my subject.
"You are a smart man, Casey, who knows no secrets. I know how good it is for you to ally with the power tribe. The character of Sandra and Dillon is destined that they will not actively betray your alliance. But have you ever thought about one of the most significant disadvantages? "
"Interesting, bad? What can be bad? Our alliance is stable and kicks you out of the game one by one. The situation is very good for us." Casey apparently didn't take my word for it.
"The most obvious disadvantage is that they are power tribes." I raised my eyebrows and said straightly, "In personal immunity, physical and strength advantages will bring them more wins than your smart tribes. Probably. Selina doesn't look like a member of the league that is as worried as Rhett. "
"If you throw me out of the game now, Anna and Austin will be out without accident. What next? You and Dillon will form a three-on-three situation again. Maybe you want to draw Jane because Jane Is the only instability in the power tribe. But if Dillon and Sandra sing all the way in the next game, get personal immunity. Are you sure that Selena will not betray? "
"To win personal immunity today, but Rhett! You want to use the saying that they are a threat to the game, let me change my mind of alliance with them, and instead of allying with your beautiful tribe? This is too whimsical!" Show a complete objection, "And you should also know why I insisted on throwing you out first, pretty smart people, it's too easy for you to attract others."
"Today is an accident, you know. The most likely future for personal immunity is endurance-based games. Are you sure Rhett or you can beat Dillon and Sandra?" My tone fluctuated. Does not change, the speed of speech has also remained stable, clear and analytical with her.
Casey's complexion became a bit ugly, and apparently she also knew the way the survivors liked to play late in the game. Although the endurance competition is to fight for willpower at the end, the tribe with better physical strength still has a lot of advantages over them.
Their physical strength can ensure that they use their willpower time to move backwards. Maybe when Casey's willpower reaches its limit, their physical strength is not even exhausted. When Dillon or Sandra continue to win personal immunity, tribal rights initiatives are in their hands.
Selina looks so alert and mindless that she hasn't been able to make small moves lately. As long as Selena has someone close to the power tribe and tries to deepen her bondage, Casey will definitely have the concerns I said about betrayal.
"I'm not trying to make you an alliance with us, but I have a suggestion. You should give yourself a backhand." Seeing Casey's look loose, I began to try to express my purpose. "I won't try to persuade you to maintain the three-person advantage of the beautiful tribe. But as long as we remove another member of the original beautiful tribe tonight, we will become the weak in the triad."
"The disadvantaged, or free vote. The free ticket is better than Jane. You choose to ally with the two of us. First of all, we will not have Dillon's physical strength, Jane will not hesitate, It won't make you unavailable after Selena's betrayal. "
Casey finally looked at me with a different look, and she nodded with satisfaction. "You're right, but why should I leave you? Aren't Anna and Austin the better choice?"
"You know, they don't look as savvy as you. The analytical ability of the situation you show in front of me will worry me very much later. You are a more difficult character than I thought." She looked I came out with my suggestion, but I still had some doubts.
"You want to get rid of me first, because I'm the smartest looking tribe?" I made a funny expression, using a tone of talking to my friends, to relax her alert to me.
"Austin and Anna's performance on weekdays, don't they look like a little couple to you? Leaving them together is equivalent to having a pair in a hand. The pair is in this game. In my arms, there aren't two good scatter cards to use. "I shrugged and deliberately weakened the posture of the negotiations I had shown before, letting her relax and fall into my trajectory.
"The number of two people bound together can be more than you alone, and they may back bite at any time. The two people who are scattered can form an alliance with you, then you will become the center point."
This sentence finally loosened Casey's frown, and she fell into my thinking trap, ignoring the reasons that Anna and I still had a stronger bond than with her. Even if Anna and Austin were really a couple, breaking up them really helped her to occupy the center point in the alliance. But Anna and I are still from the original beautiful tribe.
Moreover, Anna and I have a stronger bond than the so-called couple relationship. The benefits of forming a hidden alliance early are reflected here.
"Well, what exactly do you want?" Casey let out a sigh of relief, changing her attitude towards the enemy into a consultative tone. "Tell me your plan."
"Kick Austin tonight, and I will ally with you. Then you can draw Anna, and we will turn to the power tribe. Kick off Dillon and Sandra one by one. The situation will be scattered afterwards. Card, you can choose to continue our alliance and remove the restless Jane and Selina. "I made a look completely for her.
After a moment of silence, Casey finally answered, "Okay, I believe you this time."
"Then you have to hurry to persuade your current Confederate Dillon. Before I came here, I saw Austin taking Dillon and they went to the beach to talk. They might kick you out and not necessarily." I blinked and finally dropped another weight, completely eliminating the possibility that she might regret it later.
After a negotiation, it doesn't really end. If you want the other party not to want an appeal overturn, you can only give her a bigger problem, so that she has no time to look back on other issues in a short time.
The second tribal conference after the merger, Austin eliminated as scheduled.
With Dillon looking at me and looking at Casey's pressure, I laughed. The bonfire we sat around at the tribal meeting burned warmly and shook our eyes.
Whether Casey regrets her decision after tonight's tribal meeting has nothing to do with me. I borrowed her hand and cleaned the room. The next to be fired is the cleaning maid. When the house is clean enough, leaving a servant with too many thoughts in the head is not a good thing.
I didn't intend to follow the so-called 'plan' I told her before the tribal meeting tonight, it was just a smoke bomb. Casey is a smart man. As long as you go back tonight and think about it, you can see that the situation is not as simple as I said. At the tribal meeting, Anna did not make any fierce expressions about Austin's departure. This is a big flaw.
It's time to use my relationship with Rhett, because in the next tribal meeting, I will need the hidden exemption idol found by Rhett. After discovering that I had deceived her, Casey would only be extremely angry, and use every effort, even to confess the scam I did to her, to ensure that the power tribe was willing to cast me out.
Rhett and I are going to perform a secret alliance in front of the crew. Just like I did with Anna before, but this time with Rhett and I just acting.
In front of the camera, I will show the exhaustive methods to persuade Rhett to secretly align with me, and I will get his hidden save idol in a bright light. Acting has never been difficult for me, as long as Rhett follows my lead.
Then at the next tribal meeting, Anna Reid and I will vote for Casey. Casey drew others to vote for me. But I would have surprised her to use the hidden exemption idol before singing the ticket. Then my vote will be automatically ignored, and Casey will be eliminated as the second most voted person! 2k novel reading network
