Chapter 5 - Exorcist (1)

"Young man, where are you going? Come and play with me."

A young man was running through the streets at night.

Though this was supposed to be a crowded street, there didn't seem to be a single person here. It was as if everyone had disappeared from this street and there was only him and the person behind him.

This was a beautiful woman with a mask on in a red coat who was slowly walking behind him.

Though he was running as fast as he could, he found that this woman in red was keeping up with him with just her slow walking. 

The young man kept running as far as his feet would take him, but it didn't seem like he was going anywhere.

He had been too panicked to notice earlier, but now he saw that he didn't seem to be going anywhere. It almost seemed like he was running in the same part of the street again and again.

It was as if he was in this endless loop.

But there was nothing that he could do since the beautiful woman was still chasing after him.

Eventually, the young man tripped on his own legs and fell down on the ground.

It was at this moment that the beautiful woman suddenly caught up to him.

Before the young man could escape, she was already right in front of his face and had grabbed his hands with one of her hands.

He tried to break out, but he found that she was too strong for him to break free from. No matter how he tried, the only thing that he could do was let her lift him up so that he was dangling in the air in front of her.

When she was up close like this, he found just how tall she was.

This beautiful woman in red was over eight meters tall!

This clearly wasn't a normal human…

As he was trying to catch his breath, the young man asked, "What, what do you want, want from me?"

The beautiful woman in the red coat wasn't in a rush to speak.

She just calmly looked at him before bringing her face closer so that she was right up in front of him.

Only then did she suddenly ask, "Do you think that I'm beautiful?"

The young man couldn't help being shocked when he heard this.

He also took this time to look at this woman's face and he was even more stunned by it.

She was a beauty no matter how he looked at her. From her fine delicate features, to her gentle eyes, to her luscious long hair, she was a beauty no matter how anyone looked at her.

After being in a daze for a bit, he slowly gave a nod and said, "Yes."

The beautiful woman's eyes narrowed as if she was smiling.

Then she took her other hand and brought it up to her face, right up to her mask.

She used one finger to hook that mask and then she slowly pulled down that mask to reveal her mouth.

The moment that he saw her mouth, the young man's eyes trembled in shock and fear.

That was because…there was a large slit where her mouth was.

Her mouth was there, but there were large slits that were at the corner of her mouth that went to the side of her face.

Slowly, the beautiful woman opened her mouth to reveal a terrifying smile as she said, "How about now? Do you still think that I'm beautiful?"

The young man didn't know what to say since she was still holding him up.

There was a part of him that wanted to lie, but then he couldn't help hesitating since he thought that lying would just make it worse.

He was torn between lying to her and telling her the truth…

But in the end, he decided that it was better to lie to keep himself safe.

So he said, "You're very beautiful."

The beautiful woman's terrifying smile curled even wider, making her look even more scary.

The young man couldn't help trembling and his eyes started to shake when he saw her smile.

But that wasn't the peak of his fear yet…

With that wide smile on her face, the beautiful woman said, "Then…let me make you beautiful as well."

The young man didn't understand what she was saying at first, but then he saw that she had pulled out a pair of scissors that she was bringing up to his face. When he looked closely, he saw that the scissors actually had blood on them.

Make him beautiful as well…

Did she mean that she would carve the sides of his face to match her?!

"No! Please let me go!" The young man screamed as soon as he realized what her intentions were. At the same time, he tried all that he could to break free of her grasp.

But no matter how much he struggled, he found that he wasn't able to even budge his hands from her grip. It was like that grip of hers was made of iron and there was nothing that could free him.

Though he was shaking because of his struggles, the beautiful woman didn't mind as she slowly brought the pair of scissors up.

It even seemed like she was enjoying seeing him struggle like this.

The young man finally realized what was happening and who this woman was…

The Slit Mouthed Woman!

He had heard fables of her, but he never thought that she was real and he would encounter her one day…

Was this really it for him?

Would he really be killed by this woman?

Seeing the despair that appeared in his eyes, the beautiful woman looked a bit disappointed as she brought the pair of scissors up faster.

Since he had given up, then there was no fun in torturing him anymore.

So she planned on finishing him off.

But before she could, there was a voice that said, "Can you please let him go?"
