Magical Girl's Knight Brother

Chapter 76 The tacit understanding between brother and sister
"Have you heard that Changan's escape room is haunted?"

"cough cough"

At the dining table, Tang Zijun, who was drinking soup, almost spat the soup in his mouth in Su Siyao's face when he heard her sudden words.

"Where did you hear that?" Tang Zijun patted his chest and couldn't help asking.

Although Tang Zijun had anticipated that his previous actions would cause some trouble, it was too outrageous that the news could spread directly from Chang'an to Xuecheng in such a short time.

“I saw it on a certain audio platform.”

Su Siyao said casually, and took out her cell phone and shook it at Tang Zijun.

"I'm telling you, a haunted house worker was actually frightened to death by their own haunted house. The manager on duty that night even claimed that two ghosts were fighting in their back room - look, the surveillance video is still here."

Tang Zijun took the phone curiously and looked down. Sure enough, his entire battle with the fake heretic demon was recorded, even the scene of him pushing the other party into the water.

How is this possible?
I clearly deleted all the surveillance footage from that night.

Tang Zijun frowned, then looked at the slightly trembling picture and immediately realized that this should be the surveillance video recorded by the young man with his mobile phone, not the original surveillance data.

Damn it, this wouldn't have had such a huge impact ten years ago.

Noticing Tang Zijun's expression, Su Siyao continued seriously.

"The staff at the escape room also said that a man came in to play the escape room that night. He saw him put his phone into the locker. When he opened the locker, he found that there was no sign that the locker had been opened, but the phone had mysteriously disappeared."

Tang Zijun curled his lips. Of course he took the phone himself, but this kind of thing was really troublesome.

I have encountered similar situations before, but in that era, even if there was a disturbance, as long as there were no casualties, it would not have much impact, and generally speaking, the matter would not go beyond the province.

At best, some people might post it on Tianya Forum, but netizens basically just watch it for fun and no one will take it seriously.

Now, with the development of the information age, more and more things are becoming transparent. Under such circumstances, the secrets hidden beneath reality will probably not be hidden for too long.

After returning the phone to Su Siyao, Tang Zijun casually asked, "So what's the internet saying now? Is that escape room really haunted?"

"Oh, it's just a marketing ploy." Su Siyao waved her hand. "That surveillance footage is so fake. Two guys whose faces can't even be seen are making clanging noises. Who uses ancient martial arts in battle?"

Hearing this, Tang Zijun couldn't help but feel a little amused.

And Su Siyao continued.

"But I have to say, their fight was pretty good. But if they talked about ghosts or gods, no one would believe it. I guess the boss just wanted to attract traffic. Isn't that a popular thing these days?"

"But a lot of things inside were indeed damaged." Tang Zijun said casually.

"But those things weren't worth much anyway. The tables, chairs, and even the mannequins were all bought from a flea market. The most expensive things in the room were the speakers and the surveillance cameras, but none of them broke."

"That's true." Tang Zijun picked up a piece of leek and egg and put it in his mouth.

He hasn't counted whether it's expensive or not, he was there at the time.

"Many netizens speculated that the owner of the escape room was planning a renovation. After all, the themes inside were quite old, and this was a good opportunity to stir up some excitement and revamp all the themes that needed to be retired."

Having said that, Su Siyao turned her gaze to Tang Cao, who had been silent.

"Tangtang, what's wrong with you?"

"what?"

Tang Cao, who had been in a daze and didn't know what he was thinking, immediately came to his senses when he heard the voice.

"I, I'm fine."

Su Siyao frowned.

stare--

Feeling that scrutinizing gaze, Tang Cao's expression became a little unnatural. "W-what's wrong? Why are you suddenly looking at me like that?"

"Something's wrong. Nine out of ten." Su Siyao looked at Tang Cao suspiciously. "You've been acting strange since a while ago. You seem absent-minded."

"Yes, is there? Ahaha, hahahaha"

Tang Cao smiled dryly, she didn't know how to explain it.

Did he have to say that in order to learn telepathy with the spirit beast, he had been using magic to communicate with Xiaobai since last night?

Telepathy is a method of communication between magical girls and spirit beasts. It can be considered a kind of magic, but there is no fixed magic circuit. It feels like secret communication.

Qin Nan was able to communicate with Xiao Hui, who was far outside the building, in the elevator by relying on this kind of magic, but this kind of magic is also limited by distance.

If the distance exceeds a certain level, or if the two parties are in different dimensions, telepathy will still lose its effect.

This kind of magic can still work wonders when the surrounding environment is very noisy.

Although Tang Cao was able to communicate telepathically, he had not yet mastered it. Communication between the two sides would often be interrupted or cause noise due to unstable magic power.

Because of this, Tang Cao has been practicing secretly.

"You didn't leave with me after school before, you just ran away. You said you were going out to eat with Brother Tang."

"Yes, yes." Tang Cao carefully glanced at Tang Zijun beside him.

Tang Zijun was still immersed in the news that the "surveillance footage of the escape room became a hot topic". Just as he was thinking, he suddenly felt something touching his calf.

When he turned around, he saw Tang Cao winking at him.

"Oh, yes, yes, yes." Tang Zijun didn't know what was going on, but it was definitely right to follow Tang Cao at this time.

However, Su Siyao pouted, and her eyes kept moving back and forth between the brother and sister, making them feel uncomfortable.

After a pause, Su Siyao suddenly asked.

"So what did you eat?"

"Hot pot (barbecue)!" the brother and sister said in unison.

After the words fell, Tang Zijun and Tang Cao looked at each other.

“BBQ (hot pot)!”

Swap the answers.

Su Siyao said nothing, just kept squinting her eyes.

盯.
“Hot pot and barbecue!”

Tang Cao reacted very quickly and immediately explained in a panic, using gestures and words.

"We ate at a newly opened restaurant. My brother and I tried it, but it wasn't tasty at all. Next time, I'll let you cook a table at home. What do you think, brother?"

As he spoke, Tang Cao nudged Tang Zijun with his elbow.

"Okay, great, it's settled."

"you."

Su Siyao frowned and glanced at the two people with strange expressions. Both the brother and sister broke out in cold sweat.

"You really don't have anything to hide from me?"

"No!" x2
Tang Zijun and Tang Cao said firmly.

"Absolutely not!" x2
