"Wait a minute, we really need some time... Let's hold on for a while!"
Mako, a miko who belongs to the Shichifukujinya Benzaiten line, is setting up a barrier in the back.
Not far in front of her, several witches were joining forces to resist a monster that was as tall as two people, with a strong body and covered with red hair, like a gorilla.
"He tried his best...Sisters, if Makoto is here, please beg for it. If they grit their teeth and resist for a while, they will be Snow Monkeys!"
The person who answered was a petite miko.
While she was replying, she stretched out her leg and made a leg mark. The mark flew around and quickly threw a dark purple thunderbolt towards the snow monkey.
"Witch Spirit Thunder Drop!"
Crack——!
The lightning struck the snow monkey accurately, but it only left a trace of gray and black marks on its fur.
Her attacks don't seem to be able to cause much damage to the snow monkey.
Looking back at the wrong side, as Snow Monkey punched the ground hard with both fists, the two approaching sword wizards were instantly knocked away.
Although there were two sword witches from the Bishamonten line, a support miko from the Benzaiten line, a magic spell miko from the Mahakala line, and a healing miko from the Ebisu line. .
Although they formed a standard demon-killing lineup of one battle, one tank, one magic, one support and one healer.
However, the misled Snow Monkey is obviously no ordinary monster.
Snow Monkey is an A-level monster, good at controlling ice and snow, with great strength and rough skin.
Its melee capabilities are very powerful, and it has both offensive and defensive capabilities. In addition to its not-too-high intelligence, its strength has almost reached the level of an urban legend level demon.
When encountering monsters of that level, except for a fierce person like Nakagawa Yu who can fight alone, other witches generally cannot cope with the problem if a few people work together to eliminate the monster.
But even though several people were working together at this moment and giving full play to their respective advantages, they were still struggling to hold on to the snow ape's legs and fell into trouble.
However, that didn't count. Just when the group of shrine maidens were planning to hold on for a while longer, waiting for Mako behind to set up a barrier to fight back.
Outside the park, a burst of melodious singing suddenly sounded.
"The cracks in the cage, the cracks in the cage, the birds in the cage are always begging to come...
On that night before dawn, when the flamingo and the turtle were united (the crane and the turtle slipped), who was wrong behind me?"
The whole song is sung by a child's voice, and it sounds ethereal and melodious, but the lyrics and artistic conception contain a hint of horror that makes cold sweats run down your spine.
As the terrifying song sounded, the ground in front of the witches suddenly rose.
But if you look closely, it seems that the ground is not bulging, but the ice covering the entire park road suddenly rises from the ground and turns into two huge ice sculptures.
The shape of the ice sculpture is exactly the same as the snow monkey that is fighting the witches.
The moment the ice sculpture took shape, it seemed as if it came alive and transformed directly into two huge snow apes.
"Oops, that damn monster has summoned a new snow monkey, Mako, I'm so sorry, they can't hold on any longer!"
"One day, the snow monkey charged at Mako!"
As two new snow monkeys joined the battlefield, the situation of the shrine maidens suddenly took a turn for the worse. Even Mako, who was setting up the barrier at the rear, was attacked by the snow monkeys and had to interrupt the arrangement of the barrier.
And without Mako's barrier, their only chance of a comeback was gone.
Several people were already in dire straits and were begging to be killed before their very eyes.
However, at that moment...
"Lord, give him the power to destroy evil!"
boom--!
A ray of pure red holy light suddenly shone from a certain bush. A blond girl jumped out of the bush in the light of the holy light, quickly joined the battlefield, and with one sword drove away the three snow monkeys that were besieging the shrine maidens.
It seems that the witches may not be saved for the time being.
Mako, who survived the disaster, breathed a sigh of relief.
She immediately turned her eyes to the blond girl who saved them, but was stunned for a moment, and soon exclaimed.
"Miss Cecilia!"
…
…
"Xunjiang, I'll wait!"
At the same time, on a street outside the park, Haoren was chasing Zhongchuan Xun and grabbed her.
"What's wrong, Mr. Haoren?"
"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious...Have I noticed?" Haoren took a breath and reminded.
"What did you notice? Oh, don't worry, he has just used the spiritual perception technique to investigate. There seems to be a strong demonic aura outside the park ahead, but the aura is not too strong."
Nakagawa Yoshi is not a reckless person. After learning that a witch was exorcising spirits ahead and discovering such an unusual situation with a large area of the road blocked by ice.
As a member of the witch organization, she naturally asked to come over and have a look.
When she approached the park, she used her spiritual perception technique to investigate carefully in advance and discovered that there was indeed a powerful demonic aura outside the park.
Wow, although that aura was powerful, it obviously posed no threat to her.
"That's not what he said..."
Even Zhongchuan Yong can sense the existence of demonic energy. Haoren, who has clairvoyance, has naturally sensed it a long time ago. He wanted to remind Zhongchuan Yong about that.
"Did I hear that weird ballad just now?"
"Weird ballads? Hmm... I guess there are some... I didn't listen too carefully..."
After Haoren reminded her, Zhongchuan Yuna remembered that she had indeed vaguely heard a song when she used her spiritual skills to explore.
No, it was far away, so she could only vaguely hear it.
After all, the park is not a place for children to play. It is quite normal that songs similar to children's songs and nursery rhymes are often played through loudspeakers, so Nakagawa Yong did not listen carefully at the time.
"As far as he knows, the song is called 'Caged Bird'!"
"Caged bird?!!"
Zhongchuan Yong was stunned for a moment and quickly reacted.
"Caged Bird" is a very old nursery rhyme spread in the island country, and it is well known to everyone in the island country.
That nursery rhyme was sung while playing a game. The ghost child squatted in the middle and covered his eyes. A group of children sang the nursery rhyme around the ghost. After singing, the ghost child guessed who was behind him.
If you make a mistake, let him be the ghost.
In other words, the last sentence of the nursery rhyme has a meaning: "Whoever is behind the scenes at that moment, ask for the caged bird to be the scapegoat."
And are the lyrics of that song actually describing the sadness of a woman who lost her child?
The caged bird does not refer to the child in the womb.
When can it come out? Otherwise, it means when will it be born...
Cranes and turtles are symbols of congratulations on childbirth in island countries.
But "slipped" implies miscarriage or stillbirth.
So, it's a song about a mother who lost her child unexpectedly.
Of course Zhongchuan Yong knew that nursery rhyme, but it was precisely because she knew it that she felt a little surprised.
I want to know if it is a scary nursery rhyme, and it will be played to children in any park or playground as a children's song.
So, it's not the kind of children's song played outside the park.
"Then who sang it?"
"He doesn't know either..."
Haoren shook his head and said in a deep voice:
"Come on, they should approach carefully and observe something first before talking!"
