Psychological Control

Chapter 30

Views:

The night in New York is different from the empty streets of Para Alto in the morning. This is the time for New Yorkers to relax and entertain, and the nightclubs and bars and high-end restaurants everywhere reflect the light of this metropolis.

I was leaning against a lively street full of bars and nightclubs, playing with my phone. During the day it is quiet and no one is here, but on nights like this, people come and go, all dressed brightly. Of course, maybe after the early morning, they will go back one by one, full of alcohol.

In the chat room on my phone, I accidentally mentioned my itinerary in small talk.

[Mr. Hat]: You went back to New York for a survivor interview? ! That reality show? ! ! !

[Mosquito]: Alas... waste! What a waste! How about learning some techniques with me? It's rare to see young people as smart as you this year.

Listening to the mosquito's tone made me laugh a little. The tone was like those of the fake Taoist priests in Chinatown, holding a small notebook, dragging the passing children around and saying, I think you have a strange skeleton and are very suitable for practicing martial arts. Mr. Hat is Neil Caffrey's nickname in the chat room, which shows how persistent he is about playing his hat.

Both of them sighed when they heard that I was going to join Survivor. Yes, after all, in their opinion, it is a game where the survivors only earn a million dollars after working hard for a month. Earn less, pay more, not worth it at all.

For these two masters of financial fraud, this rudimentary social game is possible without fail, and a million dollars isn't enough for one-tenth of their single action.

[Apprentice Carl]: It's because of his cleverness that he doesn't want to become a mouse caught by a cat like Mr. Hat! :) I am a good baby who is very content with life.

[Mosquito]: (horrified) (horrified) As a sociopath, you are a good baby who is content with life? !

[Mr. Hat]: (sweating) Carl, you're too careful.

My name in the chat room is apprentice Karl, and Karl is naturally a pseudonym they know. In fact, the access to this chat room is not limited to the three of us. I often see people entering the chat room to ask Mosquitoes to do errands, and if Mosquitoes are interested, they will turn to private chat. I usually just talk when it's just the three of us, and peek at the screen the rest of the time.

In the chat room, the three of us appeared most often.

Speaking of which, if Neil Caffrey and Mosquito want to meet, under the indulgence of a tolerant caretaker like Peter, there are no restrictions. But maybe it's a habitual relationship. Even if Neil is caught by the fbi now, few people are looking for Neil and Mosquito in the chat room at the same time. But when they are bored, they still like to chat in chat rooms.

On weekdays, in addition to learning Neil's most proficient manipulative language skills from the small talk in the chat room, it is more about the boring characters of these two people. Mosquito often complains that Neil can't walk when he sees a woman, and now he can't walk when he sees Peter the cat.

Neil also often sneered at the problem of mosquitoes being good teachers. Yes, the password and address of the chat room were given to me by Mosquito, but Neil didn't stop it. Mosquito said that he saw the appearance of Neil when he was young in me, so he wanted to teach a smarter mouse who would not be caught by the police cat.

Looking at their exaggerated responses, I just wanted to answer. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw a hurried figure bumping over, giving me no chance to turn around. The phone in his hand slipped out of his hand with a hit, and then the screen went black.

The chat room's self-protection program will automatically exit five seconds after the phone screen loses touch, let alone automatically lock the screen, so I just feel bad that the phone may be broken.

"Yes... I'm sorry! I'm so sorry!"

When I heard the person who bumped into me, I apologized again and again. I bent down and picked up my phone from the ground, looked up, and was stunned.

The man in front of him, dressed a little out of place in this place, was slender and tall. If I hadn't recognized this face, I would have thought he was a model.

Spencer Red! Not long ago, in the David incident, the genius little doctor of the bau team met in the police station!

He obviously had a deep memory of me as well, and he exclaimed with wide eyes, "Bryan Moss?! Why are you here?"

"... Instead of asking why I'm here, why are you running?" I twitched the corners of my mouth and reached out to touch my phone, but luckily the screen wasn't broken. "I didn't expect that Dr. Genius also likes to relax in this kind of place?"

I was a little surprised that Spencer Red, who was a little otaku at first glance, would appear in such a bar and nightclub street.

"No, no, no!" Reid waved his hand in a hurry and said anxiously, "I didn't come here to play... Brian, did you see a thin man who was about 1.78 meters tall and wearing a black baseball cap passing by? ?"

"Are you here to handle a case?" I looked at him in surprise, panting. When did the fbi need someone who was supposed to be a copywriter to arrest a criminal

"...cough...actually I'm not a copywriter," Reid flushed uncomfortably, and he coughed and explained, "and...that's a thief. When I ordered food at a hamburger restaurant, he took the Wallets and mobile phones were taken."

… what should I say? It's funny that a knowledgeable little milk cat was given an army by a big mouse in the stinky ditch. It's still funny that the mouse grabbed someone's wallet and snatched it from the fbi

"The habit of stealing in New York runs very fast." I glanced at him and said, "How much money do you have in your wallet? Are your documents in it? Why don't you use my mobile phone to call the police first, and then ask a friend to pick you up? ."

As a result, I, who originally planned to experience the nightlife in New York, turned around and took Rhett to sit again in the burger shop where his mobile phone and wallet were stolen. I also bought him a beef burger set.

Because I never thought about it, except for the contact with the colleagues in the bau group on weekdays, Rhett has no friends who can help at critical moments in daily life! This is a more isolated rhythm than I am.

So after calling the police, because neither of us had any hope of getting our wallet and mobile phone back, I still invited Rhett to dinner. He looked very hungry.

"So Hotchner gave you a vacation, and you were still encouraged by them to come to New York to interview for the qualifications of the reality TV survivor?" .

Reid was implicated in another serial killing in the two or three days after Bau captured David Vincent. To make matters worse, he was implicated in the case just like me, and was rescued at the last minute.

Aaron Hozina, head of the bau department, had to obey the request of the FBI's psychological evaluation, and forced Reid to take a week's vacation to adjust his mentality. So Garcia, the computer tech support in the department who likes to boo, gave him a good idea for a vacation. That is participating in Survivor.

Garcia's theory is this. Through various, ahem, hacking investigations, she discovered that the confrontational themes of the new season of the reality show "Survivor" that she has always loved are beauty, strength and mind.

Mind, what a charitable theme of Reed! Although everyone in the bau group is a monster, but in the opinion of ordinary people, three doctors plus several bachelor's degrees, still so young? What is not genius.

And since Reid joined the bau, he has not applied for vacation like other members. So the vacation he saved over the years was enough for him to complete the 39-day filming of the survivors.

If he joins the filming of the survivors, then even if he wants to be recalled by bau emergency call in the middle of filming, it is impossible. Because Survivor was filmed in a completely pristine and isolated environment. Unless he is eliminated in the first round because of his low EQ.

Jason Gideon, who should have been the last to follow along, actually agreed with this idea extremely. He felt that living in such an isolated environment for nearly a month would help Reid relax the pressure caused by work and temporarily forget everything in life. And the poor living environment of the survivors obviously did not let him see.

"Yes," Reid said dejectedly: "I really don't understand, if Morgan and Al agree with Garcia's idea, why don't even Hotchner and Gideon object!"

"Because Survivor is really fun!" I winked at him jokingly, and then deliberately stretched out my right hand and grabbed his hand and shook it. "Please take care of me at that time? Warriors of the Brain Tribe!"

"..." Reid blinked before reacting. He sighed and said, "Moss, you also came to New York for the survivor interview??"

"Yeah." I smiled and spread my hands, "and I guess I should be in the Beauty Tribe? Let's compete in a month's time. If both of us enter the tribal merger phase, you and I will secretly make an alliance. Come on! Then we can definitely become finaltwo!"

Survivor's contestants are generally strangers to each other before the game begins. So there is no such thing as a pre-match league. But it was such a coincidence that it would be a pity not to take advantage of this opportunity. Is this fate, or is it because the FBI made me drop out of America's Top Model halfway through compensation

All in all, this time I have to win the championship!

"But I'm not sure myself, can I be eliminated in the first round?" Although Spencer Red said this, it was obvious that someone he knew also participated in the competition, which made his eyes widen. The expressions became clear.

I know that Rhett won't be eliminated in the first round anyway, and there is a 60% chance that he will survive the horde merger stage.

Because he is FBI's psychological profiler, he will naturally take precautions against those contestants who have a second plan in mind; because his appearance will not make people vigilant, but it is easy to have a good impression, so even if the vote is eliminated People won't take him as the first target at that time; also because of his character, his character will not become hot and compelling even in a stressful environment, and naturally he will not be annoying.
