Kuchisake -onna or 'the slit-mouted woman' is a scary Japanese urban legend about a disfigured Japanese who brandishes a long scissor and preys on children. She has an enormous slit mouth wich extends from ear to ear in a horrible, permanent smile.
Kuchisake-onna walks the streets of Japan, wearing surgical mask and haunting for children. If you cross her part she will stop you and ask you a question like "am I pretty? " if you say "yes" she'll take off her mask showing off her huge mouth which is sliced from ear to ear and she'll ask you again "am I pretty now? " if you say "no",she pulls out a huge pair of scissors and kills you immediately, chopping /cutting your head off.
If you say 'yes' she will take her scissors and slices your mouth from ear to ear making you looks just like her. If you try to run away she will hunt you down and kill you by slicing you in tow.
The only way to escape from her is to give a noncommittal answer . If you say "you look average " or "you look normal " ,she will ve confuse giving you just enough time to run away.
