Psychological Control

Chapter 9

She seemed to fall backwards, and the narrow edge of the roof and the slippery rain made it more than double the difficulty in her high heels.

I didn't limit myself to a normal walking position for balance, knowing that forcing my hands to my legs would only make my stride stiff and nondescript.

But when I was facing the ground parallel, not for a second because of the time I slowly stretched my arms, my legs stretched out and I stepped on the wall to take the first step.

The denim coat and my hair are wet from the rain and hanging down due to gravity, I know the picture on the monitor may not be as good, but I can only try to keep my posture balanced, step by step ".

When I was concentrating, there was nothing in my mind, the cheers of the audience and the sound of rain gradually drifted away, only the staff on the ground waiting to catch me and the camera next to him were in my sight. Nina was already far behind me at the speed of my walking, and when I was still a few meters from the ground, Nina was still suspended in mid-air.

I know that she lost her balance several times in a row, and the 13-centimeter high heels on her feet are like walking on stilts in a canoe. To be honest, I don't think there is anything to watch with the design of such a challenge, but it has nothing to do with me whether the show team is for the howl or the so-called test model's guts.

After landing, three screens blocked the view of the audience, allowing the stylist to adjust the model's hairstyle and remove the soaked denim jacket to reveal the clothing to be displayed inside. Nina's few missteps gave me more breathing time.

Nina is one of the only two female models I have communicated with in the supermodel house. But even so, I will not affect my work because of the performance of anyone around me, even Chris, who I already know.

When Nina also stumbled and landed on the ground, took off the safety rope in the denim jacket and got ready, following the instructions of the staff, Nina and I lifted the curtain, bypassed the screen in front of us and walked to the official runway.

In fact, the male model catwalk is not much different from the usual walk, as long as you don’t walk too swaying, keep your head up to show confidence when you walk on the catwalk, keep your eyes on the front with steady steps, and then as long as you can walk quickly in a straight line, this is enough. The point is confidence.

Nina looks slender but very strong at heart, and the few slips hanging in the air did not make her perform abnormally on the catwalk. But even so, her modeling steps are not imposing enough because of her too thin body.

Although it was pouring rain, the wind that accompanied the rain really helped me. The wind blew the ends of our hair and the corners of our clothes, and Nina's unsteady pace made her look shaky.

The second group is Alice and Chris, whom Nina and I are familiar with. Chris's were too stiff in the suspension. In order to balance, he raised his hands too high, his eyes were dull, and it was obvious that he did not perform well. Alice was as strong as always, although she also lost in the high heels in the suspension, but when she landed on the ground for a real show, the strong wind accompanied by the heavy rain blew her hair, and she was imposing.

If Nina and I walked the catwalk together, she would be a lot paler in comparison, then Chris and Alice's catwalk was Alice's strong grab of everyone's attention.

The third group is Ashton and Jaina. Ashton was suspended in mid-air like a proud swan. Gianna's modeling steps on the ground failed to add back her impression points in the hearts of the audience.

The fourth group, Dan and Shelley. Because Dan was afraid of heights, the posture of walking in mid-air was almost bent into a bow, and his waist was thrown back too much to look a bit weird. Shelley even screamed in fear. The performance of this group was underwhelming.

Followed by the fifth group of Mike and Alyssa, the sixth group of Jamie and Rena... After two groups of failed performances, Jamie and Reina finally ignited the audience's interest.

Rena, who has participated in the beauty pageant, actually took a more impressive step than Ashton in the suspension, with the firmness of every step in the misty. I can see Alice looking at this group with a very cold expression. Because they are both female models, she and Reina will inevitably be enemies.

Jamie's performance can only be said to be at a normal level, but it did not let Rena, who is much smaller than him, steal his limelight.

The seventh and final group, Marvin and Bianca. Beyonka gave up trying to walk after multiple slips while she was hanging in the middle of the building, and she began to pose as the rope lowered her. This kind of little cleverness is clever but is mistaken by cleverness.

This is a challenge. The challenge is not how good you are on the flat ground, but whether you can overcome your fears in the suspension, try your best, and show your confidence.

So, in the end, the camera lens was all focused on Marvin. I always feel that Marvin, a boy born in a slum, seems to be blessed by God. He is slowly suspended, keeping his pace as steady as possible. Although he walks very slowly along the way, he maintains a perfect ninety to the ground.

Although his modeling steps are not brilliant, they will not be a failure, and his performance in the challenge is a big plus for him.

After the challenge was over, the models were brought together to face four judges as they waited for the challenge to be scored and a top performer selected.

The top performer will be rewarded with a key to Taylor's suite. The winner of the Taylor Suite can choose a companion to accompany him, and the suite includes a King-size bed and a Guess cloakroom. This will give you a new look.

"I can't believe you all did it! Under such bad conditions, it's really impressive." Taylor made another dispensable opening remarks. Challenge scores are one-third of the criteria for the next round of eliminations. If you give up the challenge, it is equivalent to announcing an automatic withdrawal.

"The good news is up front," Rob also said, "but there are two people who performed very badly, so I can't agree."

Rob's words made most people's expressions heavy. Since I was the first group to end the show, I watched every remaining group perform. I'm not going to be at my best, but I'm definitely not going to be described as bad.

Likewise, Alice and Rena were equally calm. These two girls are very confident in what they are good at, and learning to self-evaluate is also the criterion for you to judge whether you are qualified or not in one thing.

Rob next announced the names of the two. "Mike and Beyonka. Beyonka, you look like you gave up trying and let them put you down. Likewise, Mike, your steps are too stiff. On the runway, you should be confident, Because you have to show your clothes."

"And here are two standout performers, Marvin and Reina," Taylor continued. Taylor praised their catwalk poses in suspension for no different than what I observed.

In the end, the best performance went to Rena. Although the performances of the two were comparable, Rena's high heels added a well-deserved level of difficulty to her.

It was late at night when the challenge ended, and the models got on the bus and headed to the supermodel house. Chris's brows furrowed as I pulled out my new psychology book again in the car.

"Brian, you may not only get motion sickness but also shortsighted while reading in the car!" His tone was a little cold, but he implied blame and concern.

"Hahaha... Chris, when did you become Brian's mother? We always thought that nerdy Brian was the one who changed your diaper!" The pressure of the game made everyone who was happy feel heavy. As if to vent the pressure, Dan began to jeer without a word.

Originally Chris was at odds with Marvin's brother, and Dan was a black rapper with a lot of dirty talk, and when he started to taunt me from calling me a nerd to something more dirty, Chris stood up angrily. up. He rushed forward and pulled Dan by the collar.

I've always been a quiet person, and herd animals have never been in my nature. But Chris and Dan's farce was happening right in front of me, and I couldn't ignore it.

I quickly stood up, grabbed Chris's hand with one hand and dragged him back, while the other hand made a shush gesture beside my mouth.

After a few seconds of staring at each other, Chris finally succumbed to my toughness and turned around to sit down.

However I overlooked another event cause. Seeing such a development, Dan became even more arrogant and unrestrained. He poked Phil as if he wanted the other party to join him in the trouble.

He pointed at Chris and started shouting: "Oh, what an obedient baby Chris! I don't know if the mother and baby who couldn't find the bed last night, did you find a place to feed them?"

No matter whether there are male or female models among the models, there will be some undercurrents of writing secretly. Originally, when the American supermodel was only limited to girls, the ripping wars in the supermodel house were never uncommon. Among male models, of course, it is not uncommon.

A group of energetic boys and a group of beautiful girls live together. Boys' intentions to express themselves and get girls' attention are mixed with the pressure of modeling competitions, making it more difficult to suppress those who are already violent. own temper.

Maybe Dan was jealous of Chris's natural physical condition, or maybe Dan and Chris were born at odds with each other. In short, Dan's words were originally meant to satirize Chris and me, but inadvertently angered a lot of people.

As soon as this sentence came out, not only did Ashton stand up and argue with him because of the homophobic remarks in it, but even Jamie, who didn't quite match up with Chris, couldn't help but stand up and speak for me. Mike, who was frustrated by the challenge results, also paid attention to this matter.

Even the group of girls who were Nina and Alice in the front carriage stood up and watched because of the movement here.

Not to mention Chris, he couldn't bear to rush up and fight Dan. I don't know what the consequences of a fight in America's Next Top Model will be, the worst may be a forced retirement penalty. If Dan is to stop provoking Chris, he has to learn to shut up.

I know that for such a person, blind concessions will never solve things. When Marvin and Phil were blocking Chris and pulling Dan, I stood up.

Dan's mouth was still chattering, and Marvin apparently thought I was standing up to help him pull Chris back, but I passed Marvin, who was blocking Chris, and walked towards Dan and Phil.

When Phil saw me approaching, he subconsciously turned his back to Dan, who was screaming, and stretched out his hand to stop me from approaching. But since I was unlucky and became a newspaper article three years ago, and I was in a messy club before, I became Brian and signed up for an interest class that taught basic self-defense techniques. In two years, I really learned something. .

My pace didn't change, I stepped forward, reached out and grabbed Phil's wrist and twisted it in the opposite direction. For a while, everyone didn't react, even Dan, who was the first to bear the brunt.

I stumbled on Dan by the collar before he could react. He fell unbalanced on the seat, my knees stretched out and pressed against his chest, leaning half of the weight of my body, and restrained him under me.

"Listen to what I said, boy." I, who was only planning to say harsh words to make him honest, felt an uncontrollable coldness in my heart at this moment.

I paused, but my eyes fell on Dan's neck involuntarily. I struggled to look him in the eye. "Don't try to trample my tolerance, Dan. What's going to happen to a fight in America's Next Top Model, I don't think it's going to be candy. I don't want to pay you for medicine either. Fees add to expenses that I don't need to have."

"Hey! Brian!!!"

My hand, which was tightly twisting Dan's arm, was pulled apart by Marvin and Chris, who worked together to push me away from Dan's side. My mind went blank. I sat back in the car seat, closed my eyes and exhaled slowly under Ashton's comfort, only hearing the terrified gasps and screams of Dan, who was still arrogant just now.

"Mad!!! He's a lunatic!" Dan's scream was so loud that the bus driver couldn't help but stop the car to check.

Marvin and Phil could only pull him to persuade him to be quiet, but with little success. I could clearly hear Dan's incoherent words reaching my ears.

"Have you seen his eyes, I dare say he wanted to kill me for a moment! Say... Maybe the damn mental hospital will let him out without curing him! This kind of violent maniac should be banned! !"

"Shut up, Dan!" Even Marvin reprimanded for Dan's too offensive words.

I know I'm impulsive, but the pressure to finally let out some of it makes me feel so good. Originally, I wanted to stop Dan just to let him have some morals and let him know that I am not a silent sheep.

However, when I completely controlled him, I couldn't restrain the demon buried in my heart when I saw his throat, and the bloodthirsty impulse filled my brain... I had to keep reminding myself and hint myself in my heart , to quell that desire...

I finally understand why most serial killers can't help but kill animals before they actually kill. Because only the moment when they see blood can alleviate the pain of their bloodthirsty desire not being satisfied.

During the three years of recuperation, all of Brian's original bloodthirsty delusions, which I had forgotten little by little through self-hypnotic suggestion, poured out all at once. That fantasy was so real that I almost lost control of it.
