When Kamizawamiya and Yuuki Akane said goodbye and left the restaurant, the sky had already darkened.

Yuuki Akane was not short of money, so she wanted to take a taxi back. Although she invited Kamizawamiya to take the car back with her, Kamizawamiya still refused and chose to take the subway back.

Like Shibuya, Shinjuku and other places, Ikebukuro is still brightly lit even at night. Although many clothing stores and retail stores here close around 7 or 8 pm, convenience stores, bars, hotels, restaurants and other places are still open.

The door is waiting for guests who come here to have fun in the evening.

At this time, the reporters had all finished get off work, no longer staring at the office, and had left early at some point.

Uesawa Palace walked towards the subway station. The neon signs around him were still on, dyeing the surroundings with colorful colors. Listening to the deafening songs coming from the KTV, Uezawa Palace covered his eyes.

ear.

When he walked for a while and no longer heard the noisy sounds around him, and put down his hands covering his ears, he suddenly realized that there were fewer and fewer passers-by around him, and before he knew it, he was the only one left.

Uesawa Palace felt something was wrong and stopped where he was. Ikebukuro was not like other neighborhoods. There were many people going out to have fun at night. How come no one was missing?

Uesawa Palace looked up in front of him and found that he was at an intersection. At this moment, under the traffic light on the other side of the road, a woman was looking at him quietly. The light turned red, reflecting the asphalt road into

When it was red, she crossed the road and walked toward Shangze Palace.

The other party was wearing a windbreaker, a white mask on his face, his hair was disheveled, and he came to Shangzagiya stomping on high heels.

Her figure is curvy, her legs are slender, and her eyebrows exude the charm of a mature woman.

The other person's mouth opened under the mask: "Excuse me..."

This style of dressing is very much like that of a paparazzi or a reporter. When she was talking to Uesawa Palace, Uesawa Palace interrupted her directly: "I'm sorry, I don't know about Nanase Karin. If you are a reporter

If so, you can find someone else to interview you."

The woman was stunned for a moment, blinked, and said quickly: "You misunderstood, I am not a reporter."

"Then why do you dress up like this? There is no epidemic in this world now. Are you a star?" Uesawa Palace asked.

The woman chuckled, her voice slightly hoarse: "I just want to ask you, am I beautiful?"

A woman's eyes are as deep as an abyss, as if people can be immersed in them unconsciously.

Hearing this familiar question, Uesawa Palace felt very familiar. He carefully looked at the other person's appearance, and suddenly realized, could it be that she was the urban legend "Slit Girl"?

The appearance of the slit woman in the ghost story is the same as the woman in front of Uesawa Palace. She is a mysterious woman wearing a big coat, long hair, and a white mask.

She will appear in the evening and evening, and will ask the children who come home late from school and the social workers who come back from overtime a question: Am I beautiful?

If the answer is "beautiful", she will take off the mask, revealing her face that is torn from the corners of her mouth to the roots of her ears, and then ask again: "Then... what about this...?"

If the other person answers "not pretty", she will kill the other person with a sickle or scissors; if the answer is beautiful, she will cut the other person's mouth open and make him as "beautiful" as herself, to punish the other party's dishonesty.

This is a question. No matter how you answer it, you will be targeted by the other party. So how should you answer it?

Uesawa Palace pondered for a moment, then opened his mouth and said: "The mask has the function of modifying the shape of the face. If the mask is not taken off, it is difficult to know whether you are beautiful or not, but judging from the eyes alone, you should be beautiful in the eyes of normal people.

beautiful."

The woman didn't seem to expect that Uesawa Palace's answer would be so... rigorous, but she still took off one side of the mask.

Just as Uesawa Miya had imagined, the woman's face under the mask was a torn mouth, with traces that looked like it had been patched up by fine threads. If you don't look at these, looking at the other person as a whole, whether it is the face shape or the eyebrows,

They are all big sister type beauties.

She tilted her head and smiled, then opened her mouth and said faintly: "So...am I still beautiful like this?"

"I think you are very beautiful." Uesawa Palace nodded and said seriously, "In my opinion, you don't need to feel inferior due to your flaws. Even if your mouth is torn, I believe there will still be many people who like you.

"

"You mean I'm asking this because I have low self-esteem!"

“From a psychological point of view, defects in appearance can cause people to have self-doubt and imagine that the other person will laugh at themselves when they see them, because this kind of fantasy will make people bored with their current self, which will lead to an inferiority complex.

Many people have certain congenital or acquired defects that lead to their low self-esteem. For example, strange appearance, congenital diseases such as albinism, dwarfism, stuttering, or disabilities caused by accidents, these can make them feel that they are coming from

Curiosity and rejection from society lead to low self-esteem.”

Uesawa Palace paused and continued: "In fact, the word "defect" I used is not correct. It is the same as a person's appearance. It is a subjective and one-sided view. Strictly speaking,

, you are just different from the general public, and this "sense of disobedience" leads to more attention and discrimination from others."

The "slit girl" was led astray by Uesawa Palace's tirade, and subconsciously led her to herself. She couldn't help but ask: "Then how should I solve this problem?"

"Before this century, women had always been the object of discrimination, but now in just a century, women's status has been significantly improved.

You are too concerned about the discrimination of others and ignore your own existence. As the saying goes, intellectual women are the most beautiful. Rather than focusing on appearance, it is better to focus on your inner self, read more, and broaden your worldview...

..”

Uesawa Palace was talking nonchalantly. After listening to it for a long time, the cracked girl finally felt something was wrong and shouted: "Stop! Don't you know who I am? I've already made it so obvious!"

"The slit girl." Uesawa Palace replied calmly, "a legendary urban ghost story."

"Since you know this, why aren't you afraid of me and why are you preaching to me?" the cracked girl said angrily.

Uesawa Palace shrugged and said very calmly: "Because you have nothing to be afraid of, it's just a crack in your face. There are many people who are more scary than you.

Some people abuse cats in order to satisfy their own selfish desires, some people beat and scold their children, and even commit sexual assault, and some people force others to commit suicide by jumping off buildings to satisfy their desire for control...
