The rain continued to pour down relentlessly. Yang Tao strolled along the road, umbrella in hand, as the occasional car sped past, splashing him with water.

"Bang..."

This was the sound of the brick in Yang Tao's hand hitting a car.

Screech… The car, which had been traveling at high speed, came to a stop. A man in his thirties emerged, standing in the rain and glaring angrily at the brick embedded in his rear windshield.

"Bastard! Who did that?"

He then looked towards Yang Tao, who continued walking, hesitated for a moment, and said nothing.

In the end, he got back into his car and drove away, seething with resentment.

Yang Tao shook his head slightly. People who drive without regard for others need to feel the pain themselves. Moral condemnation is useless.

At that moment, a woman approached, holding a black umbrella. The brim was pulled low, obscuring her face.

The click-clack of her high heels echoed on the ground, barely muffled by the heavy rain.

When Yang Tao and the woman were about two meters apart, they both stopped.

"Sigh, this is troublesome... Heaven has a path, but you refuse to take it; Hell has no gate, yet you come here of your own accord..."

The woman's umbrella tilted slightly upwards, revealing a pair of beautiful eyes. Unfortunately, a large mask completely covered her mouth, making it impossible to see her full face.

"Am... am I pretty?"

With a whoosh, Yang Tao reached out and grabbed the woman's neck, forcefully slamming her against a nearby wall, causing a web of cracks to appear.

"Very beautiful. As long as the lights are off, everyone looks the same."

Yang Tao's voice was magnetic, but his eyes were filled with a playful glint.

A look of terror flashed in the woman's eyes as she writhed and struggled, but Yang Tao's arm remained as unyielding as if it were cast in steel.

During the struggle, the mask on the woman's face fell off, revealing a hideous scar that ran across her entire face.

"Damn... all of you deserve to die."

The corners of Yang Tao's mouth turned up slightly, unfazed by her grotesque appearance.

What a joke. How could someone with a Terraria-like, cheat-code ability be afraid of a mere Slit-Mouthed Woman?

Even the [Face Monster] from the Crimson biome was more terrifying than the Slit-Mouthed Woman.

The [Face Monster]'s half-meter-long mouth and blood-soaked body were enough to make anyone's hair stand on end.

Not to mention the two-meter-tall spider filled with pus.

Reaching out, he touched the Slit-Mouthed Woman's cheek and said with a smile, "In my eyes, you're truly beautiful. If you don't believe me, I can send you to a place that will convince you I'm telling the truth."

There was no way the Slit-Mouthed Woman would believe Yang Tao's nonsense. Suddenly, a pair of sharp scissors appeared in her hand, and she quickly stabbed them towards Yang Tao's arm.

-7

Well, it wasn't completely ineffective, but it was barely better than nothing.

"If you think I'm pretty, then let me turn you into someone like me!"

Although it wasn't clear why the Slit-Mouthed Woman, with her neck being strangled, could still speak so clearly, Yang Tao, having been attacked, didn't humor her.

Bang, bang, bang…

Reaching out, he grabbed the Slit-Mouthed Woman's leg and slammed her heavily onto the ground. Whether it was because Yang Tao was special or because the ghosts and monsters in the Japanese world were unique, the Slit-Mouthed Woman actually fainted after being slammed onto the ground.

"Heh heh, I hope you enjoy your new friends in the Crimson biome."

… …

The next day…

Yang Tao, who had spent the night playing with the Slit-Mouthed Woman, reappeared in Yokohama City.

"Seriously, she was a Slit-Mouthed Woman, after all, but she was so fragile. I should have sent her to the Blood Biome."

Yang Tao looked regretful.

In the end, the Slit-Mouthed Woman finally believed his words. In front of those monsters, her appearance could be considered beautiful.

But she would never be able to return.

"Forget it, it's just one Slit-Mouthed Woman. If it doesn't work, I'll just find another one."

The Slit-Mouthed Woman is different from the likes of Sadako and Kayako. They are not just one being, but rather all the beautiful women who have been persecuted will become new Slit-Mouthed Women.

Moreover, as the legend becomes more and more widespread, new Slit-Mouthed Women will be born, so they can be considered a different kind of immortal.

Ding dong…

Yang Tao arrived at the Asakawa family's door and rang the doorbell.

"Coming!"

Through the door, he saw a translucent bubble. Yang Tao was truly impressed by his own cheat code.

Was it really that difficult to give him a language proficiency skill?

Asakawa opened the door and saw Yang Tao standing there. A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

She thought Yang Tao was just making an excuse to leave yesterday, but she didn't expect him to actually come early in the morning.

"Please come in!"

Stepping aside, she welcomed Yang Tao into the room with a sweet smile and turned to get a pair of slippers.

Yang Tao didn't stand on ceremony and put on the slippers, walking into the living room.

"Please have a seat. Would you like something to drink?"

"No need, let's get straight to the point."

Yang Tao looked at Asakawa and said very seriously. Seeing Yang Tao's serious expression, Asakawa sat down and asked in confusion, "What do you want me to do for you?"

She was very puzzled. This strange man was very mysterious. She always felt like he knew her.

"I want you to take me to find Shizuko Oishi…"

Shizuko Oishi is Asakawa's niece and one of the four students who died first in "The Ring."

Hearing Yang Tao's words, Reiko Asakawa's pupils shrank suddenly, a sign of a normal person being frightened.

"You... who exactly are you? How do you know I know Shizuko?"

While asking, her body slowly began to retreat.

Yang Tao smiled softly to ease the tense atmosphere in the room, quickly typing on his phone.

"I am a Taoist priest. You can think of me as an existence stronger than an Onmyoji. When I saw you, I already knew your future fate."

"Reiko Asakawa, Shizuko Oishi is about to die."

When Reiko Asakawa saw the words on the phone, she felt a chill all over her body, as if she was running naked in the sun but couldn't feel any warmth.

She stood up in a panic and ran to the side of the corridor. If anything went wrong, she was ready to run out the door.

"What is your purpose in looking for Shizuko? Was it you who did it on purpose last night?"

Looking down and typing, Yang Tao felt very annoyed and considered finding a ghost who could speak Chinese and Japanese to keep by his side.

"I just want to save her life."

Ring… Ring…

The phone rang, and Asakawa jumped up like a frightened cat, letting out a scream.

But she quickly adjusted herself. The phone was not far behind her. She reached out and picked up the phone, but after hearing the message inside, Asakawa's face turned pale.

A look of disbelief appeared in her eyes.

After hanging up the phone, Asakawa looked at Yang Tao and then said in a low voice, "Shizuko is dead…"
