Tokyo Survival from Tamamomae

Chapter 148 The bird in the cage

"Wait a minute, it will take a little time... You guys hang on a little longer!"

Mako Mako, a shrine maiden belonging to the Benzaiten lineage of the Seven Lucky Gods, is setting up a certain barrier in the rear.

And not far in front of her, several priestesses were teaming up to fight against a gorilla-like monster with a height of two people, a strong figure, and a body covered with white hair.

"I'll do my best... Sisters, Makoto will be healed soon, let's grit our teeth and resist this snow ape for a while!"

The one who answered was a petite shrine maiden.

While she was replying, she stretched out her hand to pinch a handprint, and the handprint was flying, and quickly threw a dark purple thunderbolt towards the snow ape.

"Wu Ling Lei Jiang!"

Crack-!
The thunder and lightning accurately hit the snow ape, but it only left a trace of gray and black marks on its fur.

Her attacks don't seem to be able to do much damage to the Yetis.

On the other hand, as the snow ape pounded the ground with both fists, the two sword witches who were approaching were instantly sent flying.

Although there are two sword shamans from the Bishamonten line in this group of witches, a support priestess from the Benzaiten line, a spell maiden from the Daikokuten line, and a healing priestess from the Ebisu line .

Although they formed a standard demon-eliminating lineup of one battle, one tank, one method, one support and one cure.

However, the snow ape opposite is obviously not an ordinary monster.

The snow ape is an A-level monster, good at manipulating ice and snow, with great strength, rough skin and thick flesh.

Its melee combat ability is very powerful, and it has both offensive and defensive capabilities. Except that its intelligence is not too high, its strength has almost reached the level of a big monster at the urban legend level.

When encountering monsters of this level, except for fierce people like Nakagawa Nakagawa, who can fight alone, the rest of the witches can usually deal with them only by cooperating with such a few people to eliminate the monsters.

But even though several of them cooperated together and played their respective advantages at this moment, they were still supported by Snow Ape and fell into a predicament.

However, this is not enough, just as the group of witches are planning to work hard for a while, waiting for Makoto in the rear to set up an enchantment to fight back.

In the park, there was a sudden burst of melodious singing.

"The crack in the cage, the crack in the cage, the bird in the cage wants to come here all the time...

In the night before dawn, when the white crane and the tortoise are united (the crane and the tortoise slipped and fell), who is behind you? "

The singing is full of children's voices throughout, which sounds ethereal and melodious, but the lyrics and artistic conception reveal a sense of horror that makes people sweat down the spine.

With the sound of this terrifying ballad, the ground in front of the witches suddenly bulged upwards.

But looking carefully, it seems that it is not the ground uplift, but the ice covering the entire park road that suddenly rose from the ground and turned into two huge ice sculptures.

The shape of the ice sculpture is exactly the same as the snow ape who is fighting the witches.

The moment the ice sculpture took shape, it seemed to come alive, and it directly transformed into two huge snow apes.

"Oops, that damned monster has summoned a new snow ape, Mako, are you alright, we can't hold it anymore!"

"A snow ape went to Mako!"

As two new snow apes joined the battlefield, the situation of the witches suddenly took a turn for the worse. Even Mako, who was setting up the barrier at the rear, was attacked by the snow ape and had to interrupt the barrier arrangement.

And without Mako's enchantment, their only means of turning things around is gone.

Several people have fallen into a desperate situation, and they are about to be wiped out.

However, it is also at this moment...

"Lord, give me the power to destroy evil!"

boom--!
A white holy light suddenly shone from a certain bush. Under the light of the holy light, a blond girl jumped out of the bush, quickly joined the battlefield, and blasted back the three snow apes besieging the witches with one sword.

The witches seem to be saved for the time being.

Mako, who survived the catastrophe, breathed a sigh of relief.

She then turned her gaze to the blond girl who had saved them, but she was taken aback for a moment, and soon exclaimed.

"Miss Cecilia!"

……

……

"Xiaojiang, you wait!"

At the same time, on a street outside the park, after Haoren caught up with Nakagawa, he grabbed her.

"What's the matter, Mr. Haoren?"

"Don't worry, don't worry...have you noticed?" Hao Ren took a breath and reminded.

"Did you notice something? Oh, don't worry, I just released the perception spirit technique to investigate. There seems to be a strong monster aura in the park ahead, but the aura is not too strong."

Nakagawa is not a reckless person. After knowing that there is a witch in front of him, and discovering such an abnormal situation that a large area of ​​the road is frozen.

She is also a member of the Miko organization, so she naturally wants to come and have a look.

When approaching the park, she used the perception spirit technique to investigate carefully in advance, and found that there was indeed a powerful monster in the park.

However, although this aura is powerful, it obviously poses no threat to her.

"That's not what I said..."

Zhong Chuan Xiao can perceive the existence of evil spirits, and Hao Ren, who has the ability to see through the sky, has naturally sensed it long ago, and it is not what he wants to remind Zhong Chuan Xiao of.

"Did you hear that weird ballad just now?"

"Strange ballad? Uh... it seems that there is... I didn't listen too carefully..."

After Haoren reminded her, Nakagawa then remembered that she did hear a song vaguely when she released the spiritual detection before.

However, the distance was relatively long, and she could only vaguely hear it a little bit.

After all, the park is a place for children to play, and it is normal to often use speakers to play songs similar to nursery rhymes, so Nakagawa did not listen carefully at that time.

"As far as I know, the song's title is 'Caged Bird'!"

"Caged bird?!!"

Zhong Chuanlu was taken aback for a moment, but quickly realized.

"Bird in a Cage" is a very old nursery rhyme spread in the island country, which is well known to women and children in the island country.

This nursery rhyme was sung while playing a game. The ghostly child squatted in the middle and blindfolded. A group of children surrounded the ghost and sang this nursery rhyme. He, let him be a ghost.

In other words, the last sentence of this nursery rhyme has a meaning that "the one who faces the ghost behind his back at that moment will replace the bird in the cage as the dead ghost".

The lyrics of this song are actually about the grief of a woman who lost her child.

The bird in the cage refers to the child in the womb.

When will it come out? It means asking when will it be born...

Cranes and tortoises in island countries are meant to celebrate birth.

But "slipped" is a metaphor for miscarriage or stillbirth.

So, this is a song about a mother who loses her child unexpectedly.

Naturally, Nakagawa knew this nursery rhyme, but it was precisely because she knew that she was a little surprised.

You know, this is a scary nursery rhyme. No matter which park playground it is, it will not be played as a children's song for children in the park.

So, this is not the kind of nursery rhyme played in the park.

"Then who sang this?"

"I am not sure as well……"

Haoren shook his head and said in a deep voice:

"Let's go, let's approach carefully, observe first before talking!"
