[Comprehensive British and American dramas] No.1 is called non-plural

"Judgement?" Isaac shook his head, "I don't know, I just saw that painting behind the curtain."

"Is it intuition, rather than feeling some other energy?" The host earnestly and kindly, based on his experience in hosting this show for so many years, the normal mode should be to say what power he felt, what sound he heard, or It was simply a soul standing there telling him that no matter what he accepted, he would not find it strange even if some people simply talked nonsense.

For the first time, the host found out that he had poor reception of precise answers.

"No." Isaac said, "I probably know what you're trying to say, but I'm only on this show because a friend dragged me in. I don't believe it myself. You can take me as a skeptic."

"But a skeptic will not have this ability." The host said, "You say you can see, do you know how to see through?"

"You asked me." Isaac shook his head. "I don't know how to explain it, but it's as natural as breathing. Don't ask me how it works. I don't know, but it exists."

"So, you have this kind of supernatural energy similar to clairvoyance, but you are a skeptic yourself and don't believe in those mysterious powers." The host looked tangled, "This is very contradictory."

"You can take me as a contradictory person." Isaac watched Henry Franklin do the translation with a sad face, and probably knew why he was like this.Indeed, this didn't match the persona they had negotiated at the beginning, but the plan didn't change quickly. It's not easy to pretend to be a magician among a group of psychic magicians, but it's much easier if you do it the other way around.

No matter how many unscientific things happen to me, I just believe in science.Whether you believe it or not, anyway, I believed.

Isaac has researched the follow-up challenges of the show, some of which he wouldn't know how to proceed with if he didn't get spoilers.In this case, it is not so optimistic to advance smoothly, unless he is so important that the program group cannot give up.

And the existence that the program group can't give up represents the ratings and topicality. As long as he can get a little bit right, then he will be promoted without worry.

Not knowing how long this task would take, Isaac could only think of ways to make himself go a little further.

Isaac passed the primaries without a hitch.

Henry Franklin went behind the curtain after the primary and saw the painting and recognized its origin.

That painting was one from the "Weeping Boy" series by Spanish painter Giovanni Braglin, a series of portraits believed to be cursed.Probably in the 80s, there was a big fire in Britain, and the house was turned into ashes, except for the reproduction of the "Crying Boy" series of portraits that were very popular with the local people at that time.The "Sun", which has never done anything serious, continued to take an unreliable line. It published interviews with victims of the disaster. Those interviewed all claimed that the cause of the fire was the crying boy in the painting.Then, the local government ordered that people are prohibited from storing copies of this series of portraits in their homes.

Henry Franklin shuddered directly.

He always thought that this legend was a hype for those paintings to increase their value, but now, he was not sure.Especially after he saw the performance of other people, those people could feel the power of the fire, the sound of wailing through the curtain, and they could feel that there was a little boy there.

"Is there really such a thing as a curse?" Henry Franklin approached Isaac silently.

"Of course." Issac and the others have already returned to the hotel, and Lilia Krishfina's Australian boyfriend has also successfully advanced, but according to him, he has overdrawn his strength to deal with the power of the curse, so he needs to take a good rest, Lilia Krishfina said before that she didn't have a deep relationship with her new boyfriend, but she didn't abandon him at this time, and went to take care of her boyfriend after saying hello to Isaac.That's why Isaac can lie on the sofa leisurely at this time, with his feet crossed and continue playing the game.

"Isn't the most famous curse of the pharaoh in Egypt?" Issac scares Henry Franklin, "Anyone who disturbs the pharaoh's sleep will be cursed, even if it's just a humble porter. Did you know that there was once a mummy from the National Museum of Egypt The mummy was temporarily loaned to the Jefferson Research Institute, and then the mummy disappeared. Only the professor who studied the mummy stayed in the human-shaped coffin. He was dead when he was found, and blood flowed from the coffin to the outside. .”

Henry Franklin was stunned, "How do you know this? Could it be..." He looked at Issac, as if he had discovered a new world, "There is a special ability department inside the FBI? That's why you can see through the envelope and see through the curtain." The painting behind?!"

Isaac has to worry, are young people nowadays so innocent?

"I'm just kidding you, there's no curse, it's just someone looking for money." The other party was too serious, and Isaac didn't think it was fun anymore.

Henry Franklin looked aggrieved and couldn't speak, but he didn't dare to ask any more, so he could only hold back by himself, desperately trying to figure out which link he had missed.He is very sure that no one has missed questions for them, so does the ability to see through really exist?

He thought for a moment, if Isaac could see his nakedness through his clothes...

Seeing Henry Franklin whose expression changed back and forth and finally froze into collapse, Isaac was too lazy to guess what he thought of again.

But some things are really unspoken. In the evening, Isaac received an encrypted email.

"A new mission?" Henry Franklin immediately restrained his unreliability, checked the security of the suite they lived in again, and made a sound after making sure that they would not be monitored.

"The person who leaked the question." Isaac unlocked the encrypted email, looking at the dense investigation information on it, he was speechless.

Before officially challenging the knockout round, the program team needs to further compress the excessive contestants.The first step they've done today is to guess what's behind the black curtain.It is very routine and tolerant to make a copy of a pair of words that are said to be cursed today. You must know that in this part of the last season, the show crew directly let a lady sit behind the curtain, and then in her Several leeches fell on his back.Of course, those leeches would not let them go when they touched human skin, and they sucked up enough blood one by one.That is to say, this episode made Issac have no hope for the lower limit of the program group.

The content of this email revealed the content of the second session of the competition, and then the program team will select twelve contestants to enter the official competition.

Isaac originally thought that this session would directly produce [-] cars like in the previous season, and then pull a person from the street to hide in the trunk for the contestants to find.However, the information told him that he thought things a little bit simply.

Isaac did not doubt the authenticity of the information in his hand, and even suspected that it was the program flow of the program group that directly copied it.

This link is more difficult than the previous season. This time, what the program team found was not [-] unowned cars, but the owners driving the cars from all over the country. Their identities, backgrounds and work experiences are different. When parked in the warehouse and waiting for the show to start, these car owners will also learn about what happened on the scene through the TV screen in a room not far away, and they have the right to let the contestants pass.

As long as you please these people, you can also get a guaranteed quota.

But Isaac didn't want to do that.

In this kind of program, there are not many ways to please. The most effective way is to make those people believe that you can indeed psychic. You tell them a side that they don’t know. The more detailed and specific, the more they believe in you and are more willing to send you promotion.This is the route designed by the intelligence department for Isaac. In that email, there is not only the content of the program, but also the identities and experiences of the thirty car owners and the people they brought, ranging from birth time to Life changes, the details are incredible.

Isaac applauds intelligence officers for their ability to gather information.

Unfortunately, he doesn't want to use it.

Henry Franklin breathed a sigh of relief, "With this, we will be promoted." After a while, he thought of another thing, "No, meeting these car owners is to find them out later. Your clairvoyant eye Can it penetrate the trunk? Or do we have someone who will mark the car we are looking for? No, the person who hides is randomly selected, and it should be an uncontrollable factor, and the person who will play tricks inside will definitely It's not just us, if we get into a mess by then..."

Isaac looked at the worried Henry Franklin, without any empathy, yawned and got ready to go to bed.

"You have a solution?" Henry Franklin's eyes lit up.

"Don't worry." Isaac waved his hand, "Whoever believes in me will have eternal life."

Henry Franklin was skeptical.

——————————————————————————————————

When the screening was conducted again the next day, the number of people was much smaller. Isaac said hello to Lilia Krishfina, who was on her boyfriend's arm, and noticed that her boyfriend looked familiar.

Was it in a casino or a bar?

"Alexander Humphrey." The man greeted him in a friendly manner.

"Issac Conan, people used to call me IC." Issac shook hands with him, thinking that Lilia would probably lose her love after the show ended.

It's just that I don't know which faction Alexander Humphrey, who may not even have a real name, belongs to. Yes, even though his Australian accent is very authentic, Issac still doesn't believe that he is Australian.

A piece of secret information has attracted countless ghosts and monsters, and Isaac suddenly feels that this supernatural program is suitable for the occasion.

Everyone received a number plate, which was probably randomly ranked. Issac's number did not go up or down, and he waited for a long time.Each person has 10 minutes of preparation time for this session, but if you add some scattered time, it will take about 15 to [-] minutes for one person, which is for the losers who have not succeeded.The successful ones will spend a little more time, because they are also responsible for answering the doubts of those car owners.

When Isaac came back to his senses, he had inadvertently summed up this rule, which also confirmed how boring he was waiting.

It was already afternoon when it was his turn. When he walked into the big warehouse, he had to hand in any mobile electronic devices, and then stepped through a scanning door. The anti-cheating measures were even more stringent.

A host with a beard came over to him, "Come on, let's get to know each other, what's your name?"

Henry Franklin was reasonably competent as an interim translator, which allowed the conversation to flow smoothly.

"Isaac Conan."

"I am very impressed with you, in the audition and the last primary election, your speed is very fast. I found one thing in common, that is, your eyes seem to be able to see through the surface to see deeper things. I Are you right?"

"I'm not sure. A lot of people say I have clairvoyance, but I don't think so, because for me, those things are there so clearly, as natural as breathing. I don't think there is anything special about it."

"You once said that you are a skeptic. In other words, you don't believe in the existence of those mysterious powers, but you do have some mysterious powers that cannot be explained clearly, which is very contradictory."

"Maybe, until someone told me so, I never thought there was anything special about it. I thought those mystical powers, you know, spirits, evil spirits or something, I've never felt it, so it's hard to believe."

"It's very special, among our contestants. I heard you didn't volunteer in the first place?"

"My friend brought me here, he was eliminated, and now he is interpreting for me."

"So, are you going to keep going in the game?"

"I want to know how far I can go. Because I find that my point of view is similar to the philosophy of your show, which is to be skeptical and to explore the wonderful power of this world. With so many contestants out there, I want to know Is there anyone like me."

"Okay, so let me introduce the process of this link now. There is a person hiding in the trunk of one of the thirty cars, and you need to find that person. I like your point of view, so I Hopefully you'll be successful. Then you'll meet those owners and answer their questions."

"Wait a minute, I don't think I can do the last step," Isaac said. "I can find the person, I know the location. But I can't answer the confusion for car owners, because people who come here must believe Contestants can tell their stories, communicate with people they miss but can't see again, or see their future. Sorry, I don't have any of these abilities."

"But you can find that person." The host said 'uh', "You are one of the few honest contestants, so shall we begin?"

"Ok."

"First of all, this is the personal belongings of the person you are looking for, a bunch of keys." The host handed the keys to Isaac, "Are you ready? The time limit is 10 minutes, and the countdown begins!"

"Maybe I can challenge the shortest tracking time." Isaac strode to the other side of the warehouse and stopped in front of a red car, "She's inside."

"Five seconds." The host's expression was a little dignified. He pressed the stopwatch and recorded this time point, "Are you sure? Don't change it anymore? There is still a lot of time."

"I'm sure, she's in there." Isaac tapped the hood of the car. "Hello, ma'am."

"You know there's a lady in there?" the host asked.

"A young lady, that's all I know, don't ask any more questions." A young face popped up in Isaac's mind, and the information attached to the email last night also showed that he did know more Much, but he won't say it at this time.

"Okay, now let's open the trunk." The host looked WTF, "Yes, a young lady is inside, how did you do that? You identified this car with almost no hesitation, It's as if you saw her hiding in it."

"I don't know how to explain it to you, but as soon as I walked into this warehouse, yes, I knew there was a lady hidden in it at that time." Both the sound and the smell were so obvious, so obvious that Issac There is no need to put silly rabbits at all.

"But you still caught her key, so the key didn't play a big role as a medium, did it?" the host asked, "Then why did you take it?"

"You handed it to me." Isaac looked innocent, "It won't take much time."

On the other side of the warehouse, a door was pushed open, and many people came out from inside, surrounded Isaac.

It wasn't a good feeling, especially when they were speaking a language that Isaac didn't understand at all. Isaac doesn't know if other people will feel that way, but for him, he is very grateful that he changed his personality.Occasionally, it is fun to use a magic stick, but his job is not to tell fortunes.

Henry Franklin bit the bullet and explained again that Issac couldn't answer their questions. Although those people were a little dissatisfied, it was not serious, because they had heard Issac say that he didn't have such a problem in the room watching the live broadcast before. This ability, with psychological preparation.

"I know." A girl who looked a little lively said, "but I want you to use your clairvoyance to help me."

"Well, let's hear it," Isaac said.

"Wait a minute." The girl ran to a car, opened the door, and took out a bag, which contained a jewelry box that looked old. "I moved to a new house two years ago and found this in the mezzanine in the wall when I was cleaning out the basement. Although it looks a little old and has no luster, I really like the craftsmanship style, so I have always kept it. But , I can't find the key to this jewelry box. I asked some people and they said that the jewelry box is very cleverly made. If there is no key, they have no way to open it without destroying the jewelry box. But because I would like This is the jewelry box, so although I feel a little regretful, I don't want it to be destroyed, so I keep it like this. However, I have some bad symptoms recently and I need a sum of money urgently, so I thought, can someone Tell me what's in here without breaking the jewelry box."

"If the items stored in it are valuable, then you have the capital to tide over the difficulties; if there is nothing in it, you can still have a complete jewelry box." Isaac understood, "Is that so?"

"That's right." The girl said, "I think the contents inside should be very valuable. After all, the craftsmanship of this jewelry box is so perfect."

"I see." Isaac just took the jewelry box, and his hand almost lost its grip as if it had been shocked by an electric shock.This caused a burst of exclamation from around, but he didn't care about it, he put the jewelry box on the ground, and asked the girl anxiously, "Where did you find this jewelry box? The previous owner was who?"

Isaac's movement away from the jewelry box made people puzzled, but the host responded quickly, "Is there something wrong with that jewelry box?"

"I don't know, it's impossible." Isaac frowned, "Stay away from that jewelry box, everyone!"

To Isaac's surprise, he thought he would suffer doubts and denials, because this sentence was indeed a bit out of his head, but he didn't expect everyone's reaction to be so fast, and they immediately spread around.

"Is there a bomb in there?" The host asked in a quizzical manner.

Isaac looked at the familiar movements of those people looking for obstacles, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching, how well-trained he was to have such a quick and correct reaction.Did they do a good job in the drills, or did they have more experience in actual combat?Has Russia's terrorist attacks proliferated to such an extent?

"Worse." Isaac looked at the girl, "Don't you really like that jewelry box, you always play with it when you're free?"

"That's right." The girl was also a little intimidated, very cooperative.

"Did your body start to have uncomfortable symptoms since then?" Isaac continued to ask.

"I've been in good health before, you ask, is it because a curse has been put in it?" The girl immediately thought of the theme.

"It's a source of nuclear radiation," Issac said.He will not remember the electric shock-like feeling. Fortunately, the radiation intensity is not too high, and it may cause some damage to people. Occasional contact should be no problem, but if you have close contact for a long time...

"How to deal with this kind of thing? Call the police?" Isaac asked the host.

"You, can you be responsible for what you said?" The host was also frightened, okay?Bombs are indeed scary, but for the members of the program group, they are not new to it. Last season, there was a human bomb link, but nuclear radiation is another matter. That thing is uncontrollable and no one can escape.Even though it has been decades since Chernobyl, the pain of their memories has not been eliminated.

"Yes." Isaac said with a serious face.

The show was suspended for a while, and when those people in protective suits came with equipment to prove Issac's statement, everyone's eyes on Issac changed this time.

Fight to fame, but that's all.

No one would suspect that someone could not think about cheating on this, so Isaac's image became extraordinarily tall, even if he didn't know the psychic stuff, but this didn't prevent everyone from recognizing him and thinking that he was capable in this stage. Come to the end of the show.

The above are all silly and sweet ideas that only see the surface.

The private confrontation is much more intense.

In the eyes of those who have similar identities as Isaac and also sneaked into the show, they only think that the intelligence department of the United States is too scary, and they can even check this kind of thing clearly. Although they don't know how they do it, everyone With intelligence support, there will be no second explanation for this matter.

The head of the U.S. intelligence department, who is considered extremely powerful, is silently feeling frustrated. Although Isaac has made the most of the limelight, the existence of such a random script modification is enough to make people feel bad.Then instruct the intelligence personnel to act carefully, because the forces of all parties overestimated their capabilities because of someone's performance, and they will only take stricter precautions in the future.

As the culprit, Isaac himself has put the matter behind him and is ready to start the next round.Once again, Isaac, who knew the next challenge process in advance, gave a thumbs up to the intelligence officer, and then couldn't help but yawned. It was so simple, he thought he could pass it with his eyes closed.

Then he was literally passed blindfolded.
