Psychological Control

As soon as the plane bound for London landed and stopped, the people who were advancing at a very fast speed unbuckled their seat belts at an eye-popping speed.Under everyone's attention, I helped Zoe and Joseph take their luggage from the luggage rack. Dillon carried two backpacks by himself and deliberately stood in the middle to stop the police couple. He rushed out with the second and No.3 ranking.

The fastest is naturally the pair of cowboy brothers, Sam and Dean, who have never been sloppy.However, for a big boy from the southern countryside of the United States, it may take a lot of time to find his way in the chaotic London International Airport.This little gap seems to be nothing to us.

With no time to take care of Tevez and Vera's jumping feet and cursing, our two teams rushed towards the exit as fast as we could.Because Zoe and Joseph have British citizenship, the exit gates are different from mine and Dillon's.In this case, the quality of the two siblings, who I have always admired, can be regarded as a benefit.

If they ally with someone who doesn't keep their promises, not to mention Tevez and Vera who are difficult to get along with, even the blonde sisters who are not very familiar with them are very likely to break the contract because they can't wait.Made a deal with Zoe and Joseph to help us buy subway tickets before we come out, so as to save time as much as possible.

The alliance strategy turned out to be successful.When we all boarded the subway and watched the doors close, Sam and Dean, who were the first to rush out of the plane but ended up running around like headless chickens, would then go down to the subway station to queue up to buy tickets.Others are still missing.

"I hope none of them choose to take a taxi, otherwise God bless them." Joseph joked with us while sorting out his backpack that was messed up because he was in a hurry.

"Is the ground traffic in London really that congested?" I was a little surprised that the first thing he said after getting off the plane was to complain, and asked curiously.

"Extremely! Not to mention that we are going to the Big Ben in the city center. In the city center, you can get to your destination an hour faster by bicycle than by car." Zoe took his brother's mouth and continued to complain. .Hearing that two Englishmen with a pure London accent were damaging the country's traffic, Dillon couldn't help but smile.

Joseph saw this scene out of the corner of his eye, and said to me with an exaggerated panic expression: "God, can your boyfriend really laugh! I thought he was a Terminator robot before..."

A few words of ridicule on the subway eased the tense atmosphere of the game to some extent, and the leisurely and slow pace of the British was reflected in Joseph and Zoe once they returned to their homeland.Apparently, the two siblings had tensed their nerves to catch up with the rhythm in the previous games.

Arriving at the subway station we were going to get off, under the leadership of Zoe and Joseph, we came to the vicinity of Big Ben without any detours.Using Big Ben as a landmark to find the red and yellow mailbox marked with the Speeding sign, Zoe and Joseph, two 1.7-meter-tall men who laughed at themselves as dwarfs, were also compensated by Dillon and I's ability to search people from top to bottom.

Within 5 minutes of walking from the subway station to the ground, we saw the inconspicuous clue box on the corner across the street.

"Take the train to Windsor Castle and follow the road signs to find a guard post. In this roadblock mission, two teammates from the same team need to complete the Queen's Guard Changing Ceremony together. Teams whose actions and procedures meet the requirements of the officer will You will get clues for the next mission." I took the clue card and read it out.

"Windsor Castle, the queen's administrative residence?!" Joseph squeezed his head next to his sister's shoulder, shouting excitedly, "Can we have a changing of the guard ceremony? That must be fun, haha."

Zoe gave him a blank look, pushed his head away and said to us: "Now we have to go to the train station to buy a ticket, it's best to buy a ticket for immediate departure. But I guess we can only take you to the train station. Although We live in the UK, but we've never been to this kind of public attraction once. It's time to find our way together."

"No problem, we already have a starting point that is much ahead of other teams." I said to her with a smile, without any dissatisfaction.

With the help of Zoe and Joseph, we arrived at the train station without detours and bought tickets to the town where Windsor Castle is located.However, the next departure time was almost half an hour later, and we inevitably lost some potential advantages.

During this half hour, because they run catwalk shows outside all the year round, they are not very unfamiliar with London. The model combination James and Sid also unexpectedly ran to No.3.Sam and Dean are still missing, and happily, the annoying police couple has not appeared in our sight.

According to the intelligence of James and Sid, the two self-righteous policemen chose the way of taking a taxi that Zoe and Joseph complained about before. May God bless them.Sam and Dean followed them on the same train, but were thrown off by them on the exit.The rest of the team saw no one.

With the leading position of the top three, our three groups got on the first train to Windsor town.And even if other teams can catch up with the next bus, there will still be a half-hour time difference, and Nao decides everything.

"Speaking of which, in addition to the castle, there is the famous Eton College in the small town of Windsor, right?" James, who was born familiar, was not at all embarrassed, and joined our conversation after getting in the car.

Zoe and Joseph are not the kind of people who are socially awkward, so she responded naturally: "Yes, but I guess we won't have the chance to see it. That kind of noble-level private school is different from Joseph and I. The school I went to was like the difference between New York and the countryside."

"If you go to that kind of private school to go to university, the enrollment rate of Oxford and Cambridge is estimated to be unbelievably high?" Sid also smiled and said: "In the modeling industry, Brian, your education is like an alien. .No wonder you didn't keep going."

I raised my eyebrows and said: "Your words are a bit ambiguous. I don't mean to disdain any profession. It's just that I prefer to participate in reality shows than standing there posing for pictures and walking on the stage like a puppet. This kind of brainstorming and interesting program."

"A degree in psychology, scary." James also joked with a smile: "You and Dillon combined, can be perfectly described by the grouping in the survivors. Isn't it a combination of brains and strength? You must know that you promised to join forces with you Weiss and Vera, how many risks have we taken to be eliminated."

"Yeah! How many rounds have you taken the first place? In our opinion, you are one of the strongest opponents." Joseph also bluffed: "As far as I know, you still have a fast-forward card that is useless , then you have to quickly find a place to use it up. It will be invalid after a few rounds."

"Okay..." I shook my head helplessly, because I knew they didn't mean anything malicious. "Don't worry, after we eliminate Tevez and Vera, we will use them to save you worry."

After chatting messily along the way, we arrived in the small town of Windsor.Relying on the travel guides and maps we bought during the half-hour wait at the London train station, our three teams hurried, one after another, and no one could get rid of the other, and came to Windsor Castle, a famous place for foreign tourists. Attractions and in front of the Queen's Executive Residence.

At the most conspicuous place at the entrance of the castle, we easily saw the speeding mark of the red arrow on the yellow background, and followed the mark to find our mission location.The guard post is on the square inside the castle.

Wearing a furry and tall bearskin hat on his head, and dressed like a toy soldier, the head of the British guard came towards us.After a few introductions, he directed his corporal to take us to change into ceremonial uniforms.

"I can't believe that the British really agreed to the request of the program group." Although his presence was very obvious in the eyes of others along the way, Dillon, who was as taciturn as the Terminator, finally whispered in the locker room. "It's like letting a reality show crew walk into the White House to shoot in the United States."

"Hey, don't say that." James, who stretched out his hand to ask Sid to help him straighten his sleeves, interjected with a smile after hearing it: "The White House also interviews civilians, and the FBI has even filmed documentaries." .”

Wearing a bearskin hat that can make a well-organized soldier faint from heatstroke in summer, and a red military uniform that doesn't fit well because it is not tailor-made, he is dressed as a British guard.Then follow the one-on-one group training of the guard chief, and play with the musket with the bayonet like acrobatics.This series of guard-changing ceremonies opened our eyes.

But I think now Dillon finally understands why the British would let our show film their changing of the guard.The continuous sound of the shutter from the passing tourists made Dillon's goose step more and more vigorous, and the wrinkles in the brows were tightly squeezed.

In my opinion, the purpose of the British is to let the American people feel the sadness of soldiers who are used as attractions.And this feeling is even more profound with Dillon, a former actual combat player.Let the American people who like to play and fight the British guards the most, feel that sense of embarrassment in front of the TV.

"The queen's guards in the UK are all elites selected from actual combat troops. We also have tasks such as daily training." The guard chief, who was the referee, said this before we finished recording the movements and were ready to start the challenge. "We're not one of those floating attractions in Disneyland where you wear doll costumes and take pictures with you."

"We represent the external image power of the British royal family. I hope that every tourist who comes to the UK will at least show some of the respect they deserve to us fighters who really train hard! Instead of leaning in front of them and saying something A fucking joke."

Wearing a black plush bearskin hat, the decree lines on the officer's face became deeper and deeper as he spoke, just like Dillon's frown, showing the seriousness and rigor of a traditional British man.

"My requirements for your mission challenges are not to be the best. But every step of yours, partner and partner must be in sync. When to walk forward, when to stand still, when to stand firmly and swing the gun. Every step can’t go wrong, let alone being soft!”

Finally, this point pointed to Zoe, who was helplessly holding her hat to adjust her posture, and Joseph, who was on the same arm and foot from time to time.There was even a bit of hatred in his tone, perhaps because of the London accent in the mouths of the two siblings.
