Magical Girl's Knight Brother

Having said that, Qin Nan took another look at Tang Cao in front of him.

"I personally don't recommend you develop into a release type. You possess very rare ice elements. If you only use them for fighting waves, it would be a bit of a waste."

Take people's money and do things for them.

Facing Tang Cao, a talented newcomer, Qin Nan still hopes that the other party can exert even stronger combat power.

After all, they are comrades-in-arms. If she really cooperates with Tang Zijun for a long time in the future, then she will most likely form a corresponding magical girl team with Tang Cao.

In this situation, Qin Nan naturally hopes that Tang Cao will become as strong as possible.

"Okay, that's enough introductions. Next, I'll start teaching you the most basic magic."

Qin Nan clapped his hands, attracting the attention of the man and the cat to himself, and then spoke softly with some helplessness.

"You've already formed a partnership, but you don't even know the most basic telepathy. You know, this is magic that every magical girl must master. Otherwise, if you encounter a noisy environment like the nightclub before, do you still have to shout at the top of your lungs?"

Hearing this, Tang Cao and Xiao Bai looked at each other and lowered their heads guiltily.

Qin Nan looked at Tang Cao and Xiao Bai in front of him seriously.

"You have to remember that spirit beasts are not mascots. They can't just help magical girls find monsters and then be sidelined. As spirit beasts, they are also there to assist magical girls in battle."

Looking at Xiaobai who seemed to understand but not quite, Qin Nan shook his head and continued.

"If I tell you too much, you won't understand. Let's start with telepathy. This kind of magic mainly communicates through the mind and is not affected by the outside world."

While Qin Nan was concentrating on teaching Tang Cao and Xiao Bai, Tang Zijun was also doing his own work in Chang'an, thousands of miles away.

Just like the agreement and contract previously agreed with Qin Nan, during Qin Nan's teaching period, Tang Zijun needs to guard the city on Qin Nan's behalf.

However, this time was different from the past. After communicating with Chang Lei, Tang Zijun had never been looking forward to the arrival of the heretic demon as much as he was now.

In fact, he had already stayed in Chang'an during the day today, because he knew that his sister would not go home after school, but would go to find Qin Nan, so Tang Zijun did not need to prepare dinner and could just have a quick bite.

Until the sun set, there was no trace of the evil spirit in Chang'an, which made Tang Zijun a little unhappy.

"Xiao Hui, there's still no special energy fluctuations?"

"To answer your question, sir, just like the forty-seven times you asked me before, I didn't sense any energy fluctuations." Xiao Hui shrank his neck and replied.

Although he already knew that Tang Zijun was on their side, Xiao Hui was still afraid of him and even thought for a long time before speaking.

Xiao Hui didn't know why Tang Zijun suddenly became so concerned about the external demons.

If it were Qin Nan, she would probably hope every day that there would be no energy fluctuations from the outer demon, so that she could have a good rest while working two jobs.

But now it was Tang Zijun's turn, and Xiao Hui always felt that he was eager for the heretic demons to be refreshed in batches.

Could it be that after experiencing the previous battle, this guy has aroused the desire to kill in his heart?

After taking a cautious look at Tang Zijun, Xiao Hui shuddered again.

At this moment, Tang Zijun caught a very special breath.

Looking at a woman walking on the sidewalk not far away, Tang Zijun's eyes became deep.

Chapter 71 Red and White Strange Stories

The woman was walking alone on the sidewalk.

Her steps were a little hurried, her hair was a little messy, and a few strands of hair brushed against her cheeks. It could be seen that her mind was in an unstable state at the moment.

"Sir, what's wrong?"

Xiao Hui noticed Tang Zijun's gaze and couldn't help but ask softly.

However, Tang Zijun did not answer him. Instead, he frowned and followed the woman.

The two of them moved forward one after the other. The woman's high heels collided with the ground, making a crisp and rapid sound. She obviously had not noticed that she had been stared at by Tang Zijun.

His nose twitched slightly, and a faint smell drifted into Tang Zijun's nasal cavity.

There is no mistake, this is the breath of the heretic demon.

Although the smell was very faint, so faint that even Xiao Hui didn't notice it, it felt like a face-to-face encounter with an outsider demon from afar, but Tang Zijun still smelled it.

However, will those heretic demons really give up this "delicious" thing that is right at their fingertips?

"grown ups."

Just as Tang Zijun was lost in thought, Xiao Hui spoke softly.

"I have something to say, but I don't know whether I should say it or not."

"It's inappropriate to talk about it."

After spending a few days together, Tang Zijun also realized how despicable this idiot was, and there was absolutely nothing good that came out of his mouth.

"You are following me."

"Shut up, you."

Ignoring Xiao Hui, Tang Zijun stopped.

The aura of the woman became weaker and weaker, which means that the heretic demon did not mark her.

This lady should not have had any contact with the outer demon, otherwise Xiao Hui would not have been able to sense her abnormality.

Tang Zijun guessed that the other party had most likely entered the location where the external demons were active, and then accidentally been contaminated by the other party's breath.

Thinking of this, Tang Zijun turned his head and looked in the direction where the woman came from.

Anyway, I didn't find any clues all day. I finally came across one, so I might as well investigate it. Maybe I can get some unexpected gains.

Tracking breaths is something that ordinary humans with severely degraded sense of smell naturally cannot do, but for Tang Zijun, such traces are more like visible clues for finding the way.

It's just that his movements were a little faster, and the aura dissipated faster than Tang Zijun had imagined.

Xiao Hui didn't know what Tang Zijun wanted to do. Although he was a little confused, he still flapped his wings and chased after him.

Following the lingering scent along the way, Tang Zijun quickly found the building where the woman had stayed before - the Red and White Strange Stories Theme Game Hall.

"Escape room?"

Tang Zijun had imagined many possibilities, but he never expected it to be this kind of place.

The eye-catching luminous signboard in red and yellow, coupled with the terrifying posters hanging at the door of the store, has to be said that this place has a great visual impact.

"Sir, what are you doing?"

"Wait for me outside."

Tang Zijun waved his hand and let Xiao Hui fly high into the sky.

Cats and dogs are not allowed in the escape room, and walking birds is not allowed either.

What's more, Xiao Hui is not an ordinary creature. If there really is an alien demon inside, a spiritual beast like Xiao Hui will probably be exposed as soon as he enters.

Pushing the door and entering the hall of the escape room, soon, a burst of low and depressing music hit me.

Tang Zijun had played 'Escape Room' before, if fighting the Greedy Man in the Mirror Plane counted, but as for the real world, this was his first time in such a place.

Frowning slightly, Tang Zijun looked around, sweeping across the entire hall, trying to find any trace of the heretic demon.

The lobby of the escape room is similar to a movie theater bar. It would be more similar if those scary posters were replaced with movie posters, but it seems that there is no popcorn for sale here.

In the hall, players who came to play gathered in groups of three or four. Some of them came with a group, while others came alone and waited for the staff to pair them up.

It has to be said that with the rapid development of the information age and the increasing pressure of life, exciting projects such as escape rooms have gradually become popular in recent years.

Places like this where people can scream freely and vent the negative energy deep in their hearts have really attracted the attention of many young people, and this industry is developing faster and faster.

"Hello, do you have a reservation?"

A young man who looked like a staff member came over and greeted us enthusiastically.

"I didn't make a reservation. I was just passing by. I saw that this place had high ratings on Dianping, so I wanted to come in and have a look." Tang Zijun took out his cell phone and shook it.

"You can book directly online, or you can choose the activities you want to play here and tell me, and I will arrange a wild game for you." The young man's attitude was pretty good, and he didn't ignore her just because he had worked all day.

"How many types of secret rooms do we have here?" Tang Zijun asked casually as he swiped through various topics on his phone.

"Except for one area that's under repair, there are a total of twelve themes. However, there are two large ones. The others are all traps, the kind without NPCs. By the way, brother, do you play micro-horror or major horror?"

It doesn't matter whether it's a minor or major phobia, Tang Zijun's purpose of coming here is not just for fun.

Just as Tang Zijun was thinking, he suddenly saw a young couple who had just walked out of the secret room exit out of the corner of his eye.

They didn't look very old, and maybe because they had just walked out of the secret room and were still a little frightened, the girl kept coughing and her voice was hoarse.

"What theme are they playing?" Tang Zijun asked, pointing at the couple.

He had confirmed that this couple had the same aura as the woman before.

It seems that they were all contaminated by the traces of the heretic demon after playing this theme, that is to say, that thing is hidden in the secret room.

The young man glanced back, thought for a moment, and replied, "It's a two- to three-player dungeon, a horror photo studio, with a moderate horror theme. Do you want to play? I can help you build a dungeon."

"I want to play alone." Tang Zijun said.

"There are quite a lot of people here today, and you don't have a reservation."

The staff member was a little embarrassed, but when he was halfway through his speech, he suddenly felt a heaviness in his hand. He looked down and saw a roll of red banknotes in his hand.

"Excuse me, I'm in a hurry."

"Brother, according to the rules of our store, I..."

Tang Zijun didn't say anything, but took out two more and put them in his hand.

".I—it would be rude not to agree to this. Please go store your belongings while I negotiate for you."

The young man quickly put the money in his pocket, called another staff member over, and then trotted towards the other three girls.

Tang Zijun smiled. It felt pretty good to use money to buy convenience.

Although mobile payments are now used, Tang Zijun has always been accustomed to carrying some cash with him. Originally, he used it in case his phone ran out of battery or there was no network connection. Unexpectedly, it actually came in handy now.

Chapter 72: Photo Studio in the Republic of China

With the help of staff, Tang Zijun's plan to cut in line went smoothly. Just when he casually put his phone into the cabinet, the young man came back.

"Brother, everything has been arranged." The young man had a smile on his face.

Tang Zijun didn't know how the other party convinced those college students, but he guessed that it was probably by offering them free meals, as college students would buy into this trick.

"Can I come in and play?" Tang Zijun asked.

"Wait a few minutes. The staff are resetting the mechanism inside," the young man explained, then continued, "I'd like to take this opportunity to explain the procedures and precautions to you."

If you want to play an escape room, some necessary precautions must be made clear in advance, such as patients with heart disease and claustrophobia are not allowed to play, and you must not harm the staff in the escape room.

According to the young man, in their line of work, they often encounter customers who beat up NPCs in extreme fright.

However, Tang Zijun was playing a game with a mechanism theme, without NPCs, so he didn't care about this. The only important reminder was that you must not destroy some of the mechanisms inside.

The circuits of the escape room mechanism are integrated. If one thing goes wrong, the whole place losing power is a minor matter. It would be a serious matter if someone gets injured by electric shock or causes a fire.

"That's all I have to say about the precautions. Don't be afraid of what I need to remind you of next."

"."

Seeing that the young man suddenly became extremely serious, Tang Zijun also straightened his expression and nodded.

"I'm not afraid, just tell me."

"Although this is openly called an escape room, as a long-time employee here, out of a sense of responsibility for our guests, I have to tell you the theme of your game."

The young man came closer and whispered seriously.

"Haunted."

Tang Zijun's mouth twitched for no reason. He thought the other party was going to say something.

"I heard that before this escape room was built, this place was once a mental hospital. Many urban legends happened there. And do you know why the theme of the game you're playing is a secret game? Because the boss strictly told us that staff members are not allowed to enter that room without permission."

The young man spoke word by word. "Ever since this theme was established, everyone who enters here has seen things that science can't explain. Some players have even seen non-existent 'staff.'"

As he spoke, the young man lifted the curtain at the entrance of the secret room and opened the door that looked a bit old.

"And you, my friend, you need to enter the horror photo studio now, solve the unknown mystery, and find a way to escape from it."

Inside the gate was a long corridor. It wasn't very dark, but it wasn't bright either. The sallow yellow chandelier flickered, and old photos were hung on the walls on both sides of the corridor.
