The police thought she was a dangerous psycho on the loose but the schoolkids thought differently, they saw her as a spirit that they had to avoid at all costs.
The thing is, if you walked near Kuchisake Onna she would step out of the shadows and suddenly appear right in front of you.
“Do you think I’m beautiful?” she’d ask.
It’s an odd and unexpected question… but hey it seems innocent enough right? But how you answered the question would determine your fate.
If you answered “No” to her question she’d take out a kitchen knife and kill you right on the spot. If you said “Yes” she’d rip off her surgical mask to reveal that her mouth was slit from ear to ear and then say
“How about now?”
Picture of a samurai depicting the husband of Kuchisake Onna.At this point you might get really scared and try to run away, but it’s no use. Kuchisake Onna is an eerily fast runner and will always get in front of you to ask the question again and again.
If you answered “No” this time you’d be cut in half, and if you answered “Yes” she’d cut your mouth from ear to ear and make it look like hers. Sooo…now you can see why the schoolkids were watching the bottom of the telephone poles so intently.
