Moriarty looked at all three options but did not make a decision immediately.

Regardless of which mission you choose, you'll always have to meet this slit-mouthed woman first.

Look at her appearance and listen to her questions.

Even if she has a slit mouth, she's not necessarily ugly, right?

At most, it's just that the mouth is a little bigger, there are a few more teeth, and the smile is a little weird...

If you can get her to shut her mouth and not show any hostility, she's a mature and sophisticated woman. A kiss might not be out of the question.

As for Task Two, it involves the question raised by the Slit-Mouthed Woman.

Legend has it that the Slit-Mouthed Woman would ask passersby, "Am I beautiful?"

If a passerby answers "pretty," she will take off her mask and ask again, "How about this?"

If a passerby answers "not pretty," she will kill the passerby with a sickle or scissors.

If the answer is "beautiful," the passerby's mouth will be cut open so that the passerby is as beautiful as the passerby herself.

Will the slit-mouthed woman who is getting closer and closer to Moriarty ask a similar question?

To be honest, Moriarty was quite curious.

However, the rewards for Mission 3 are quite appealing.

With each level increase in the Fire Elemental Wizard's level, Moriarty will become level 28, bringing him one step closer to mastering the Animagus Phoenix form at level 31.

So this choice is quite difficult to make.

Listen to what the Slit-Mouthed Woman has to say...

Moriarty stopped and watched as the Slit-Mouthed Woman walked over and stood in front of him.

Simon, puzzled, also stopped, looking at the Slit-Mouthed Woman and then at Moriarty.

"You two know each other? She's here to pick you up?"

Hearing Simon's questions coming one after another, the woman in white judged him to be a rather oblivious person, and smiled with her eyes crinkling, "Am I pretty?"

Simon whispered to Moriarty, "She's not here to see you?"

"Obviously," Moriarty raised an eyebrow. "She's hitting on you."

As a renowned connoisseur, Simon could certainly understand and speak Japanese.

However, he took a few steps back and shook his head repeatedly at the woman in white.

"Hey, girl, don't do that. I'm a married man."

The woman in white turned to look at Moriarty.

"Tell me, am I pretty?"

Is this the problem with the Slit-Mouthed Woman?

Moriarty, recalling the urban legend, deliberately echoed her words, "Beautiful, absolutely gorgeous."

"Hehe..." The woman laughed, reaching out to remove her mask. "Now? Am I still pretty?"

The face, previously hidden by a mask, was revealed.

Her oval face had fair and delicate skin, a high and straight nose, and a pair of perfectly almond-shaped eyes full of smiles.

She smiled without showing her teeth, her full lips adorned with lipstick, exuding both gentleness and allure.

Simon didn't see anything wrong and kindly said, "Girl, you should go home quickly; it's not safe tonight."

However, the smile in the woman's eyes turned into mockery.

She grinned, revealing a perfect smile that showed eight teeth.

His mouth stretched wider and wider, his lips like a huge slit, extending along the lip line all the way to his ear, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.

Simon screamed in fright, stumbling backward and grabbing Moriarty's arm. "Run!"

But Moriarty didn't budge; he was carefully examining the Slit-Mouthed Woman.

I roughly counted them, and the Slit-Mouthed Woman has 26 teeth? Or 28?

The Slit-Mouthed Woman also held scissors in her trench coat pocket.

If Moriarty's answer is not pretty, she will kill him with scissors!

If Moriarty answers "beautiful," she'll cut open Moriarty's mouth so he can become as beautiful as her, hehe~

Although she hasn't been a slit-mouthed woman for long, today is the first time she has ever frightened passersby.

But her heart was restless, and she couldn't resist stabbing the scissors into Moriarty's skin, experiencing the feeling of warm blood splattering on her face.

"So you weren't born with a slit mouth."

A single sentence jolted the Slit-Mouthed Woman awake from her reverie. She looked up and saw Moriarty staring at her intently, his sharp gaze piercing her very soul.

Moriarty immediately used Legilimency to extract a lot of interesting information from the Slit-Mouthed Woman's memories.

Two weeks ago, the Slit-Mouthed Woman was a normal woman preparing to get married.

But one day, the Slit-Mouthed Woman swallowed a cloud of black mist, and gradually, her body began to change.

They become sensitive to light, enjoy the night, and have night vision.

Most importantly, a crack appears at the corner of each mouth, and almost every night the crack gets bigger.

A week ago, the Slit-Mouthed Woman turned into what she is now. Her fiancé promptly broke off the engagement, and then the Slit-Mouthed Woman picked up scissors and cut her fiancé's mouth to shreds!

Today was the first time the Slit-Mouthed Woman had threatened passersby, and by sheer coincidence, she ran into Moriarty and Simon.

Moriarty calculated the dates and realized that two weeks ago was the day the World Cup ended, the day Haprose was attacked by Poland and Japan.

It was on this day that the Slit-Mouthed Woman swallowed the black mist.

Is there any connection between the two?

Moriarty couldn't be sure for the time being, but he had a vague feeling about it.

The giant squid in the Pacific Ocean, the Tokyo ghouls on the cruise ship, and the slit-mouthed woman on the street are all inextricably linked to the attack on Hyprose by the Japanese team.

"System, I choose mission three." Moriarty made his decision. Since it was related to the Japanese team, he had to find out the truth.

"Host confirms selection of Task Three?"

We recommend that you choose Mission One. The Slit-Mouthed Woman will bring you a different kind of excitement, and she is still a virgin, which is very rare in Japan.

"Stop talking nonsense and choose quickly," Moriarty urged.

"Ding-dong~ Host's selection successful. Please complete the task within one week."

Moriarty began working on the task, starting by finding the Slit-Mouthed Woman's address from her memories. It was an apartment not far away, near Ginza.

That makes sense, since today is the Slit-Mouthed Woman's first operation, so of course she would choose a familiar street.

Moriarty looked into the Slit-Mouthed Woman's eyes and asked, "Do you want to return to your original form?"

"Can I ever turn back into my original form...?"

A hint of disappointment flashed in the Slit-Mouthed Woman's eyes, and her right hand, which was holding the scissors, gradually loosened its grip.

"Take us to your apartment; perhaps we can find a solution there," Moriarty said calmly.

"Why should I believe you?" The slit-mouthed woman looked at Moriarty warily, the urge to cut Moriarty's mouth apart surging up once again.

"brush!"

She pulled scissors from her pocket, raised her arm, and stabbed at Moriarty's face.

The sharp tips of the scissors gleamed coldly as Moriarty calmly tossed out a "Petrify!"

The Slit-Mouthed Woman was petrified, her body frozen in place, her raised arm hanging in front of Moriarty.

"Have you noticed? We're not ordinary people. We have the ability to resolve the abnormalities in your body, but you have to cooperate with us."

As Moriarty spoke, he walked forward.

The Slit-Mouthed Woman was levitated by Moriarty and floated behind him.

"We're going to your apartment. You need to demonstrate to me the entire process of swallowing the black mist, and describe every single detail of what happened that day."

Moriarty cautioned the Slit-Mouthed Woman, "Think things through carefully on the way."

Although the Slit-Mouthed Woman was petrified, she could still think, and she silently accepted Moriarty's arrangements.

But Simon wouldn't have it. He caught up with Moriarty and said anxiously, "Wait, Wick, you promised to come with me to Haneda International Airport. My wife and daughters are still on the plane."

Moriarty stopped in his tracks, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes.

"I've been wanting to ask you this since earlier: why do you insist that I go with you? You could have easily gone to Haneda International Airport by yourself!"

"Uh..." Simon lowered his gaze, avoiding Moriarty's eyes. Suddenly, he thought of the Tokugawa patriarch's bodyguards. "I'm afraid the bodyguards will arrest me again!"

Moriarty realized Simon was lying, but he didn't call him out on it. Instead, he glanced behind him.

"Speaking of bodyguards, where have they all gone?"

Behind him was only a dimly lit street, and the two bodyguards were nowhere to be found.

"Could he have been killed by other Slit-Mouthed Women?" Simon speculated maliciously.

Moriarty shook his head. "There's only one Slit-Mouthed Woman in this area, the one behind us."

"This place is close to Ginza, so there are bound to be a lot of people around. It's a good thing you caught her, otherwise this woman would have killed many people." Simon said with a look of relief.

The two walked and talked, and soon left the street, turned a corner, and arrived in the Ginza area.

Suddenly, skyscrapers came into view, and a news report on a large screen caught their attention.

"Urgent! The LJN flight, originally scheduled for 0:30 from Ishigaki to Tokyo, has been delayed. Please be prepared if you are picking up passengers."

Simon let out a piercing scream: "No—"

He kept tugging at Moriarty's sleeve, crying out, "That was the flight my wife was on, and my daughter was on it too!"

Wick, Wick! You have to help me!

Please help me, I'm telling you the truth, you have to help me, I can't lose them, oh, sob sob sob…
