Chapter 76 The Siblings' Tacit Understanding
"Have you heard? A family's escape room in Chang'an is haunted."
"Cough cough cough"
At the dining table, Tang Zijun, who was drinking soup, almost spat the soup in Su Siyao's face when she heard Su Siyao's sudden remark.
"Where did you hear that from?" Tang Zijun patted her chest and couldn't help but ask.
Although Tang Zijun had anticipated that her previous actions would cause some trouble, it was still too outrageous that the news could spread directly from Chang'an to Xuecheng in such a short time.
"I saw it on Douyin."
Su Siyao said casually, and even took out her phone and waved it at Tang Zijun.
"I can't believe it, a staff member at a haunted house actually fainted from fright. The manager on duty that night even claimed that two ghosts were fighting in their secret room—look, the surveillance video is still here."
Tang Zijun curiously took the phone and looked down. Sure enough, her battle with that fake demon was recorded, including footage of her pushing the other party into the water.
How is that possible?
I clearly deleted all the surveillance footage from that night.
Tang Zijun frowned, then looked at the slightly trembling image and immediately realized that this should be the surveillance footage recorded by the young man with his mobile phone, not the original surveillance data.
Damn it, this kind of impact would never have happened ten years ago.
Noticing Tang Zijun's expression, Su Siyao continued speaking with an air of seriousness.
"The staff at the escape room also said that a man came in to play that night, and they saw him put his phone in a locker. However, when they opened the locker, they found that the locker had not been opened, but the phone had mysteriously disappeared."
Tang Zijun pursed her lips. She naturally took the phone herself, but this kind of thing was really troublesome.
I've encountered similar situations before, but back then, even if something went wrong, as long as there were no casualties, it wouldn't have a big impact. Generally speaking, things wouldn't leave the province.
At most, it might get posted on Tianya forum by some people, but netizens will just watch it for fun and won't 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 probably won't be able to remain hidden for long.
Returning the phone to Su Siyao, Tang Zijun casually asked, "What's going on online now? Is that escape room really haunted?"
"Ugh, just a marketing ploy." Su Siyao waved her hand. "That surveillance footage was so fake. Two guys whose faces you couldn't even see were going bang bang bang bang. Who uses ancient martial arts in a fight?"
Hearing this, Tang Zijun couldn't help but feel a little amused and exasperated.
Su Siyao continued speaking.
"However, I have to say, their fight was quite entertaining, but if you're talking about ghosts or gods, most people probably won't believe it. I guess the boss just wanted to generate some traffic; isn't that what's popular these days?"
"But a lot of things inside have been damaged," Tang Zijun said casually.
"But those things weren't worth much to begin with. The tables and chairs, including the mannequins, were all bought from the flea market. The most expensive things in the whole room were the sound system and the security camera, but none of the expensive items were broken."
"That's true." Tang Zijun picked up a piece of chives and egg and put it in her mouth.
He didn't even know whether it was expensive or not; he was there at the time.
"Many netizens speculated that the escape room owner was probably going to renovate it, since the themes inside were all quite old. This time, he made a bit of a splash and took the opportunity to redecorate all the themes that needed to be phased out."
At this point, Su Siyao turned her gaze to Tang Cao, who had remained silent.
"Tangtang, what's wrong?"
"what?"
Tangcao, who had been in a daze and not knowing what she was thinking, immediately came back to her senses upon hearing the sound.
"I...I'm fine."
Su Siyao frowned.
stare--
Feeling that scrutinizing gaze, Tang Cao's expression became somewhat unnatural.
"W-what's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that all of a sudden?"
"Something's not right, nine out of ten things are definitely not right." Su Siyao looked at Tang Cao suspiciously. "You've been acting strange since just now, like you're not paying attention."
"Yes, really? Aha, hahaha."
Tang Cao gave a dry laugh; she didn't know how to explain herself.
Should I say that in order to learn the telepathic connection with spirit beasts, I've been using magic to communicate with Little White since last night?
Telepathy is a means of communication between magical girls and spirit beasts. It can be considered a form of magic, but it doesn't have a fixed magical energy path, and it feels like telepathic communication.
Previously, Qin Nan was able to communicate with Xiao Hui, who was far away outside the building, inside the elevator, thanks to this magic, although this magic also had a distance limitation.
If the distance exceeds a certain limit, or if the two parties are in different dimensions, then telepathy will still lose its effect.
This magic can still be surprisingly effective when the surrounding environment is very noisy.
Although Tangcao has achieved telepathy, she has not yet fully mastered it. Their communication often breaks down due to unstable magic or is interrupted by noise.
For this reason, Tangcao has been practicing secretly.

"You didn't walk with me after school before, you just ran off. You said you were going out to eat with Brother Tang."
"Yeah, yeah," Tang Cao glanced cautiously at Tang Zijun beside her.
Tang Zijun was still immersed in the news that "the surveillance footage of the escape room went viral" when he suddenly felt something touch his calf.
Turning his head, he saw Tang Cao winking at him.
"Ah, right, right, right." Tang Zijun didn't know what had happened, but going along with Tang Cao at this moment was definitely the right thing to do.
However, Su Siyao pouted, her eyes constantly scanning back and forth between the brother and sister, making them feel very uncomfortable.
After a pause, Su Siyao suddenly asked.
"So what did you eat?"
"Hot pot (barbecue)!" the brother and sister exclaimed in unison.
As soon as she finished speaking, Tang Zijun and Tang Cao exchanged a glance.
"Barbecue (hot pot)!"
Switch the answers.
Su Siyao remained silent, only squinting her eyes.
盯.
"Hot pot and barbecue!"
Tang Cao reacted quickly, immediately offering a frantic explanation through gestures and words.
"We ate at a newly opened restaurant together. My brother and I tried it, but it wasn't good at all. Next time, I'll have my brother cook a meal for you at home—brother, what do you say?"
As she spoke, Tang Cao nudged Tang Zijun with her elbow.
"Okay, great, it's settled then."
"you."
Su Siyao frowned, her gaze sweeping over the two siblings with strange expressions. Both of them broke out in a cold sweat.
"Are you really not hiding anything from me?"
"No!" x2
Tang Zijun and Tang Cao said firmly.
"Absolutely not!" x2
