The slit-mouthed woman is a common ghost story. She appears as a woman wearing a large coat, a scarf, holding a pair of large scissors, with long hair and a mask.
She would ask children coming home from school: "Am I pretty?" If the answer was "yes," she would take off her mask to reveal her slit mouth and ask again: "...How about this...?"
If the child answered "not beautiful", she would kill the child with a sickle or scissors; if the answer was beautiful, she would cut the child's mouth open and make him as beautiful as herself.
When this rumor spread in Saitama, it attracted the attention of the auxiliary supervisor. After investigation, it was determined that it was the work of a cursed spirit and not human beings, so the task was assigned to Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru.
Because it was the last two days of the holiday and there were no final exams, Geto Suguru simply packed his luggage and prepared to go directly to the Fushiguro family after completing his tasks, staying for a few days before returning to his own home.
Gojo Satoru was closing his eyes to rest. He had been practicing reversal techniques recently and was very tired. He would be tired again soon and was also angry with Geto Suguru.
Angry at Geto's early holiday: "You really want a holiday! Don't you want to spend more time with me?"
Geto Suguru: ...
Nonsense, if students don’t look forward to holidays, how can they look forward to going to school?
He tried to coax me for a long time by saying that I could call him even during holidays and that friends didn't need to be together all the time, but now he's still sulking.
The Slit-Mouthed Woman was not difficult for the two to deal with. The only difficulty might be finding the trace of the Slit-Mouthed Woman, because the Slit-Mouthed Woman was a wandering cursed spirit and did not commit crimes in only one place.
What makes Gojo Satoru tired is that he has to use his six eyes to track down the remnants of the cursed spirit.
"Really? Do they treat me like a police dog?" Gojo Satoru complained as he walked in front.
"Thank you for your hard work, Satoru." Geto Suguru's micro-manipulation of cursed energy is not as good as Gojo Satoru's, and Gojo Satoru also has six eyes, which gives him an advantage in tracking the remnants of cursed spirits.
They thought this mission would be easy, but they didn't expect it to be this simple. When they found the slit-mouthed woman, they saw her staring at a muscular man. The child with the sea urchin's head in her arms asked, "Am I beautiful?"
The child with the sea urchin head seemed to have no idea what was going on. He looked at his father who was holding him, then looked at the slit-mouthed woman, and buried his head in his father's chest.
"Keiko, give me an answer, otherwise I won't be able to attack and it will be very troublesome." Fushiguro Shinobu didn't expect that he would run into the slit-mouthed woman when he came out to buy vegetables with the kid in his arms.
Hui raised her head reluctantly: "The beauty of the soul is what matters most."
The Slit-mouthed Woman has the ability to expand a simple domain. Within her simple domain, she will ask her enemy "Am I beautiful?" until the enemy answers her question, otherwise both parties will enter a mutually inviolable state.
The rest is the same as the strange stories. If she is ugly, she will be killed by the scissors attack, and if she is beautiful, she will die by cutting the corners of her mouth. Since it is a rule, there will naturally be an answer that weakens her strength.
From Hui's answer, we can see that answering irrelevant questions is a way to weaken her attack power.
Fushiguro Shiro, who was attacking, kicked the slit-mouthed woman away and looked at Geto Suguru and Gojo Satoru behind him: "Tsk, this is your mission, right? Why don't you do it?"
"Shin'er can handle it, too." Geto Suguru released Tagon to deal with it and started chatting with Shin'er Fushiguro.
"I won't do unpaid work." Fushiguro Shigeru still takes on some tasks now, but not as frequently as before. He occasionally takes on a task to fill his own piggy bank, go gambling, and buy gifts for Aoi.
"Brother Geto." Hui greeted Geto Geto obediently, then turned around to look for Jasmine.
Xia Yujie rubbed Hui's head and said, "Sister Jasmine is back home today. Brother will be staying here today. Is Hui happy?"
Hui thought for a moment and answered truthfully, "I'm not as happy as I was when I saw Jasmine."
Xia Yujie's heart broke at once: "...Kei, sometimes you should be more tactful when speaking."
He took Hui from Fushiguro Shier's arms, closed his big hands, pinched Hui's round chin, and then Hui's mouth became round. Hui couldn't break free and said incoherently: "Sip some porridge, Jasmine..."
"Come, Hui, let me introduce you to my brother's good friend. This is Gojo Satoru. In fact, he is my classmate Gojo Satoru and a very reliable friend." Geto Suguru introduced Gojo Satoru to them.
Fushiguro Shier sneered, a bit sarcastic: "Yeah, I recognize you."
"I recognize him too." Gojo Satoru laughed. He didn't expect fate to be so strange. "But what's the relationship between Jie and that Zen temple Shi'er? Shi'er~"
Fushiguro Jiner rolled his eyes at Gojo Satoru and corrected him, "I'm a son-in-law, so my last name is Fushiguro now."
"He is my uncle, how come Wu knows him so well?" Xia Yujie didn't know that they actually knew each other, and Wu's tone seemed to be wrong.
"It's my uncle. What a coincidence. I've met you once before and I've heard of you for a long time." Gojo Satoru's words were still not very friendly. He didn't know why, but he felt unhappy when he saw Fushiguro Shinobu.
Would Fushiguro even let him? He immediately said, "I've heard a lot about you? I'm a nobody, but I still use that word. I'm afraid I'm not as famous as the Six-Eyed God."
Geto Suguru and Hui looked at each other, not understanding why the two were so at loggerheads with each other.
"Aunt, are you off work?" Xia Yujie turned around and saw Aoi standing outside the alley.
"Because I signed a big deal nearby today and it was almost time to get off work when I returned to the company, I was just going to go home. I didn't expect to hear Shen'er's voice when I passed by. I thought I missed Shen'er too much, but it turned out to be true." Kuizhi handed the briefcase to Shen'er and brought Hui over: "Is Jie here with his friends for the holiday? Do you want to come over for dinner?"
