The girl's body shook with pain. Her eyes widened in shock and her upper body was covered in blood. She tried to say something but couldn't. The man brought a bottle of doctor spirit, put it on cotton and started cleaning the blood on her face. The girl shook more as she felt a burning sensation of the spirit. The man took a new piece of cotton and started cleaning the blood on her teeth.

Harper and his team reached the address. He got out of the car and asked his team to surround the building. He stood beside the door with a gun and looked at his assistant standing on the other side of the door with a gun. Harper kicked the door, opening it. He walked inside the building and looked around. The whole room was now painted white. Harper looked around and looked at the door of another room. He walked toward the door and opened it. As he entered the room, he raised his gun. In front of him was sitting a man with a cut from the left ear to the right ear passing through the lips in the shape of a smile. He looked at Harper and started singing,

“Where is the girl?” Harper shouted.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkLlSp4wpR
“Mr better half? I am getting her ready for the important day of her life. Today, the two smiles will collide which will result in a supernova giving birth to the new worlds”
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7N4JxTg5Dr
Harper punched his face, “Shut up, you piece of shit. Just tell me where she is?”
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvoKXLuCIr1
A policeman entered a room with a girl. Harper and his team looked at her and were shocked, “What have you done to her?”
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfYKfdPcqU
“She's my better half. She has the perfect white smile like me. Her teeth are bright white and her lips are beautiful. Her smile is the most beautiful smile I have ever seen.”
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtk9S8BjIlc
Harper arrested the man and took him to the police station. The girl was taken to the hospital.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfRgJNi6Y5
The man was tied to a chair. Harper sat in front of him, “I remember the article in the newspaper some years ago about your father, the greatest dentist in the town.”
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxRe8TwClj
The man looked down in fear, “Don't talk about him.”
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGj0VrjwkI
“Your father's name was Dr. Edward and he had a son too. The one who is sitting in front of me. Ain't I right, Victor?”
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0bfR0virS
Victor looked up and smiled.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtiHBS3rSl8
“The article talked about his obsession with achieving the perfect smile. Your father's fixation on oral perfection stemmed from his childhood trauma of having crooked teeth. He subjected you to rigorous oral hygiene regimens, forcing you to maintain impeccable dental health. Your father controlled every aspect of your life. His obsession with your smile became an unhealthy fixation, leading to emotional and psychological abuse. Your mother didn't bother to intervene. And then, your father's dental practice was involved in a scandal. A patient sued your father for botching a procedure, leaving them disfigured. The media scrutiny and loss of reputation devastated your father, who became reclusive and abusive. One fateful night, his anger boiled over, and he brutally assaulted you, cutting your lips from ear to ear to create a grotesque, permanent smile.”
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkb3axVvYfC
The man didn't say anything.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGv0wLwWYIh
“Your screams were muffled by his father's hands, and you were left with physical and emotional scars,” Harper said with a grin.

Victor laughed, “You are wrong. I have a mission to get a girl who has a perfect smile like me. You should know the concept of the smile. Smiles are portals to alternate dimensions, revealing glimpses of parallel universes where teeth are doors, lips are windows and joy is the currency. Every time someone smiles. a tiny wormhole opens, sucking in nearby thoughts and replacing them with memories of forgotten laughter. The curvature of a smile determines the trajectory of fate, bending reality's fabric to weave tales of wonder or madness. Some smiles are black holes, devouring sorrow and spitting out stardust; others are cosmic events, collapsing time and space into a single, radiant instant. And when two smiles collide, the resulting supernova births new worlds, where happiness is the gravitational force holding existence together."

Harper grabbed Victor’s hair and started punching him till his tooth broke and blood started coming out of his mouth, “That’s your perfect smile.”
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBzQfnVzwh
Victor started crying, “What did you do? My teeth! What will happen to my smile.”
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOmkPasDFU
“What will happen to your smile? That will be decided by the court where you will be presented tomorrow.”
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5u4CioLTn
Harper got out of the room. His assistant was waiting for him and asked, “Sir, how did you relate the name on that record to the newspaper article?”
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BHbmzMGAe
“When I read the name on the record. It had the name of Dr. Edward and it struck me that I had read this article about him and his child. Dr. Edward died in the electric chair so who would be the one carrying on his legacy? The other person whose name was in that article. His son! Victor! Sometimes reading the newspaper is good,” Harper said.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKUIwn2Q5S
“Sir, do you think the court will give him any punishment? They will send him to the correction facility as he will be declared mentally unstable. The same verdict was given for Tom.”
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOE67ib8j3
Harper thought for a few minutes and said, “We have to prove that he is not mentally unstable. It's not an easy task but more important is keeping him safe till the morning. Everyone has left the building. Only you and I are here. That psycho who killed Jason is still out there.”
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bQfQj10cv
“Sir, you should go home and take a rest. I will stay here at night and will see if everything's alright,” his assistant said.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkw87P4BsNP
Then only, a man wearing a black coat and pants and a devil's mask walked toward him.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pCvG7q2mS
“Yes, sir? Why are you here?”
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfkmE0YpP1
The person didn't say anything and threw a knife at Harper's assistant. The knife struck his neck. The assistant grabbed the knife and took it out. The blood rushed out of his neck and he fell on the ground, suffocating while grabbing his neck.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQ8ZFpRBqJ
Harper took out his gun but before he could do anything, the man ran and kicked the gun. He grabbed Harper's face and said in a heavy voice, “Watching everyone die thrills me but you are special. I won’t kill you so easily,” the man sprayed on Harper's face. Harper became unconscious.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTagE3UtSb
The man grabbed the knife covered in blood, lying beside Harper's assistant's body and entered the room where Victor was tied to the chair.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEchIYN5MUx
Victor looked at the man and got tense.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03TFCaOdwk
“You had more potential as a psycho,” The man said.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCCuro2IzO
The masked man grabbed Victor by his head. He put his knife on Victor’s throat and slowly started slashing his throat, “The people of the world must all be killed.”
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7lawbLU1s
As the blood rushed out, the masked man licked the blood from the knife. He took his blood-stained knife and walked out of the room. He picked Harper, took him out of the building, put him in a car and drove away.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsu25lmtSy
As Harper came back to senses, he found himself lying on the floor with his legs tied with chains. He looked around and found a lady lying in front of him but couldn't see his face as it was covered with a black cloth.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXFvUJRu7S
The masked man entered the room. He looked at Harper and came near him. He grabbed Harper's neck and took out his knife, “Ask God if he was able to stop the Devil.”
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnuWeu0faDf
Harper's eyes widened as the cold blade pressed against his throat. The masked man's grip tightened, his breath hot against Harper's ear.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAy5LceGlHd
"You think you're the devil reincarnate?" Harper spat.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOeqNh4LxgW
The masked man chuckled, low and menacing. "I am the one who brings darkness and you are a mere obstacle."
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwawA57WjF
Suddenly, the lights flickered and died. The room plunged into darkness.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMK0kHLNyQC
Harper felt the knife slip, just a fraction. He seized the moment, twisting free.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Gt1dbNkHj
"Run!" Harper yelled, but his voice was lost in the blackness.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqLx6TgKyC
Footsteps echoed, heavy and frantic. Harper stumbled forward, hands outstretched.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcg5So2I5j
Then, a faint glow emanated from the corner. The masked man stood, illuminated by a burning candle.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQueGId8nvW
As Harper stumbled toward the door, he found himself in a room with no door or window. His heart pounded as he turned around and found the masked man standing in front of him.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6oYNNjcec
The masked man started laughing maniacally, "Game's not over, Harper. You can't escape the devil's playground because here, death is the only checkmate.”33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE04e2a003g
