Psychological Control

"Good morning everyone, look at the opponents around us. After last night's tribal meeting, we have only three people left. 18 people, 31 days of wild survival, today we will finally eliminate one contestant! The remaining two members, tomorrow will hold the final tribal meeting, accept jury trial and vote." Jeff appeared in front of us in good spirits early in the morning.

Maybe God is helping, we are standing on the coast under the sunny blue sky and white clouds, preparing for the last individual immunity competition.Judging by the location and the buoys floating on the surface, it was again a water-related challenge.But probably not swimming anymore.

I tilted my head and glanced at Rhett who was standing on my left side. He seemed to be in a much better mood now than he was usually sullen.Obviously he knew that after this match, one more person would be eliminated at the tribal meeting tonight, and the shooting of the entire survivor would end tomorrow.

The last survivor vote will start after the survivors have finished broadcasting a month later, and it will be broadcast live.That is to say, in the next month, he can return to his normal life of using his brain to solve crimes, eating and sleeping, without being surrounded by strangers and cameras.

As for Dillon, I glanced to the left. His eyes were restrained and serious, as if he was about to perform some important task.For him, this round was a game that he could only win but not lose, otherwise as long as he lost the last personal immunity, all previous efforts would be forfeited.

"Brian, Dillon, Rhett, now you can turn around and look at the game facilities in the sea behind you." Jeff began to explain the content of the competition to us. "Those are three water cages."

"Of course, the content of the game is not as simple as just putting you in a cage in the water and seeing how you can get out of it. At the beginning of the game, you will be locked in a cage, and at this time these cages that are half on the water will follow Time passes and sinks, you have to complete the tasks we set for you in the cage before the cage completely sinks and you can't hold your breath, and then you can escape."

"The task in the cage, as stated on treemail, will be about memory content." The task explained by Jeff is the same as my guess with Rhett through treemail.

The mail is a game reminder placed in a tree mailbox near the tribe one day in advance before the start of each immunity challenge.It has happened before, but doing more is just so that we can do some mental preparations before the game.But this time the treemail revealed a lot of information, giving us enough time to prepare in advance.

about the content of memory.Participants are required to have a heavy task in this immunity competition, recall the details of each item in the previous competition, and then complete the correct answer.This type of task does not appear in the Survivor Personal Immunity Competition every time, let alone the last most important competition.

But I am still prepared, a "luxury" that each contestant is allowed to carry, the reason why I choose to carry a notebook and a pen, in addition to needing to communicate with Reid, is to record all kinds of things in the competition detail!Not just the content of the competition in the challenge, but also the analysis of the tribe's situation.

A good memory is not as good as a bad pen, no matter what the situation is, this sentence is not wrong.The things recorded in writing will be more directly and clearly presented to you when you review.As for the memory of the human brain, except for a genius like Rhett, few people can classify and remember things in a very orderly manner.

"Find the correct answer through memory, and then find the key that you think represents the correct answer in each question box on the top of the cage, dive into the water and find the correct box at the bottom of the cage to open. You have to answer ten questions in total, don't look at it There are few questions, but each question has five options."

"Even if you can answer every question very quickly, usually when you finish the sixth question, the entire cage that traps you will completely sink into the water." Jeff's expression was very serious, and he said nothing. Statement in one sentence.Obviously this time the game has a certain degree of danger.If the contestant is too desperate, it is possible to suffocate and shock in the water.

"So we also set up an oxygen tank on the top of the cage. When you feel that you can't hold your breath, you can float up to breathe. Of course, every time you float up, it will take time. The three cages have the same specifications, and they are also deep and wide. , the round-trip time gave the other two contestants a chance to surpass your progress."

"Only by answering the correct question, the key can open the box. If you get the wrong answer, the contestant will need to float back to the top of the cage and answer the question again. After all ten boxes are opened, you will get a total of twenty puzzle pieces. Dive into the water and there is a jigsaw board at the bottom of the cage where you can fix the jigsaw puzzle and complete the jigsaw puzzle on it."

"The first person to complete the puzzle will get four keys that can open the exit at the bottom of the cage. Each key cannot be mixed, find the correct lock, and open the exit at the bottom of the cage. After swimming out, you must keep going Return to the shore. When you escaped from the cage, you must have been exhausted. Therefore, the contestant who won the competition must be the person with the strongest perseverance, intelligence, and physical strength. If you don’t remember the content of the ten questions, luck Maybe it will help you."

The content of the game was very complicated, but because I was almost engrossed, everything Jeff said had been clearly remembered in my mind.Maybe my long-term memory isn't as good as Rhett's, but short-term memory isn't going to hold me back.

"If you understand the content of the game, now I would suggest that you do some warm-up exercises before the game starts." Jeff looked at the three of us and finally said.

...

"I count to three and the game starts. One..."

Me, Rhett and Dillon, were locked in cages respectively at this time.There are a total of six camera bodies wearing diving equipment, floating outside the cage to follow up.The cage is also filled with fixed cameras throughout.

The cages are not far apart, and the clear water will not prevent me from seeing Dillon and Red around me.But there is also a certain distance, so that people in the cage cannot see every move of the opponent clearly.

Although only half of the cage is silent in the water at this time, people cannot find a foothold.The height of the cage is five meters, and the cross section is also three square meters.The questions we need to answer are engraved on the lid of the wooden box on the top of the cage that contains the key to open the underwater box.The current cage has no more water, no less, exactly half of it.The water depth is [-] meters, and the distance from the water surface to the top of the cage is [-] meters.

It can be said that if we do not find another way, we will have nothing to do for a short time before the game.Competitors are required to float in the center of the cage by themselves before the competition starts, and can only approach the cage rails after the competition starts.

"two…"

I turned my head and looked at Dillon's voice. He was seriously looking at the railings of the cage. Obviously, he didn't intend to waste the first half of the time allowing the cage to sink. The contestants could reach the wooden box even if they floated in the water.He wants to climb to the top of the cage by stepping on the railing?This is a good idea.

I turned around and looked at the railings of my cage again. Sure enough, the horizontal railings just formed a "ladder" for people to step on.

And Rhett?The first time I turned around to look, I saw him sink his head into the water with a "pop" and look down.Obviously, he felt that what Jeff said just now was not intuitive, and wanted to confirm the situation at the bottom of the cage first.

"three!!!"

The sound of "crash" sounded at the same time Jeff called three.Dillon and I started our hands almost at the same time, and started to stroke the water in a freestyle position with exactly the same movements, trying to lean against the railing on one side of the cage.It's just that he was swimming forward, and when Jeff counted to two, I was already leaning backwards, and the game started to turn around and swim backwards.

The back is the direction of the coast, because Jeff is facing the coast to host, so before we all turned our backs to the coast.And I swam backwards, which is also the direction that the waves push.With the thrust of the water, I reached the railing less than a second earlier than Dillon.

Then I started to climb up on hands and feet, and Dillon quickly drove back a little while behind on the climb.Rhett moved a lot slower than ours, because at first he didn't think about being afraid of the cage to reach the wooden box on the top of the cage.Rhett, who doesn't like sports, doesn't care much about personal immunity, so he hesitated for a while, and then followed us to swim to the cage and climb the cage.

As we climbed the cage, the three cranes hanging the three large cages were also operated by the program group, and the boom was slowly lowered, and the cages were gradually sinking.

arrive!I looked at the question on the first wooden box on the left.

Which of the following answers to the jigsaw puzzle used in an immunity contest is the correct answer.The five options listed below, if you don't pay attention, you can hardly see the difference in these patterns.

Find the difference and find the correct answer through image memory.

Damn, I encountered a problem on the first question... You must know that my image memory is not good, and I even have mild face blindness.I forget it when I see it, not to mention that I have never drawn a puzzle image in my notes, so this uses long-term memory again.

Fortunately, when I seriously recalled and looked at the options to find the difference, Dillon was also stuck in the first wooden box on the other side.

Preoccupied with thinking about it, I made my next decision and took the key to the third option, knowing that Rhett also staggered to the top of his cage.Then I started to look at the questions on the right. When I was looking at the questions, Reid, who had just climbed to the top of the cage, glanced at the questions and chose a key.

Rhett caught up with me, and Dillon finally made his decision.

The second question is a text question, and I have recorded the details of the game in my notebook!In a competition, what is the color that represents Selena.I quickly chose the second key.

...

Just as Rhett and I were solving problems one after another, Dillon dived into the water with the four keys already in his hand.At this point the cage has been submerged to the point where we can reach the cage even if we float in the water.

I have five keys now, and Rhett has six.I have confidence in the correct rate of my answer and his answer, and obviously our plan is the same, just answer the ten questions in one go, then dive into the water and slowly unlock the lock with the key in our hand.

Dillon probably wasn't sure about his answer, so in order not to confuse too many keys, he went down and tried to open the lock first.

When I got the seven keys, Jeff suddenly said: "Dillon dived into the water with four keys representing the answer he chose, and he opened two locks!" I am very confident, and I am still solving problems non-stop, obviously wanting to maintain my strength, and finally dive down and unlock all the locks in one go!"

...

Nine keys!Just one more question!I turned to look at the last unopened wooden box.At this time, my nine fingers were covered with key rings one after another.This helps me figure out which key corresponds to which question.

"Red got his last key! He's trying to dive!" Jeff's live commentary came in just in time, "Unlike Brian sorting the keys, Red holds them all in one hand , with the other hand to help paddle and dive to the bottom. Is it possible that all his keys are the correct answer?"

"On the other side, Dillon dived back into the water with three keys. At this time he had opened four boxes! In fact, he was in the lead, and Brian was solving his last problem...He got the key!"

As soon as Jeff mentioned my name, I decided on the answer to the last question.Putting the key ring of the last key into the little finger of my right hand, I flicked back the water with both hands, stepped on the side of the cage for a relay, and the fish jumped into the water.Compared with Reid who needs to use his hands to enter the water in a conservative posture, my hands are occupied by the key, but I still dive smoothly like a fish.

After diving into the water, the underwater scenery was clearly presented in front of me.
