James calls the police headquarters and tells them about the latest events. He calls the communication department and asks them to trace the number from where he received the call. After some time, he gets the report of the call location. Without wasting any time, he leaves in his car without telling anyone. 158Please respect copyright.PENANArUuLT4jSB5
Alan is hanging upside down with chains tied to his legs and hands. The man with the mask is sitting in front of him. He asks Alan, "Alan, do you know anything about pain? What is pain according to you?"158Please respect copyright.PENANAnZ8GBEdW4m
Alan says in a discomforting tone, "I want to go back to my father. Please, leave me."158Please respect copyright.PENANAFdNf3Bjzxt
"You will go back to your father but I promised him that I will send him a stronger version of yours who will know what real pain is. So relax."158Please respect copyright.PENANAbLVXpuVsuC
"My head is feeling heavy. Please."158Please respect copyright.PENANAnqd5jPW4Z0
The man says, "You know what happens when a person stands upside down for a long time? It can cause blood to pool in the skull and pressure can build up inside the brain and eyes. This will result in congestion in the blood vessels causing strokes or even rupturing of blood vessels causing bleeding. And when that bleeding will start, I want you to not scream as I want to teach you that pain is not a simple concept as you humans think. You start crying and start screaming when you get hurt physically and mentally. I am here to teach you how to be strong. How you should not let pain empower you."158Please respect copyright.PENANAfdoPMwv2lY
Alan becomes unconscious. The man laughs, "You are too weak."158Please respect copyright.PENANAiP7nRKtx24
"Hands up, you motherfucker."158Please respect copyright.PENANAAOgkvdufa8
The man raises his hands and turns around to find James standing in front of him. James is breathing heavily and pointing a gun toward him.158Please respect copyright.PENANA2Yvke11KlH
"Don't you try to do anything, you smartass," James says while pointing the gun.158Please respect copyright.PENANAyLwVYIFHO4
The man starts laughing, "You police people are such a joke. I don't give a shit about you people. What will you do? Shoot me? Then go ahead, shoot. I will not scream like those officers. I will not beg for mercy like those officers. I will not suffer any pain like those officers because I know the real concept of pain."158Please respect copyright.PENANAKmjxwTU8Sk
"I don't give a shit about your pain or whatever. You are just a psycho who murdered three head officers. You will be arrested for it and will surely get hanging orders," James shouts.158Please respect copyright.PENANA6IJuUY4GCb
The man starts laughing, "You think I will be scared? Humans are scared of all this shit. I am not a human. I am a messenger."158Please respect copyright.PENANAHZKxRSRJC5
"The concept of pain is not easy to explain. I made an effort to teach the lesson of pain but that effort is still in progress. You know the concept of pain is not easy to understand so I try to put the person in that situation to make them understand what I am trying to say. Why did I select heads of the police station to teach the concept of pain? Well, that's a good question but it has a simple answer. Do you want to be my student? I am willing to teach you. Say it," the man says while facing James.158Please respect copyright.PENANApG8NeSstK4
"I will take my boy, arrest you, send you to prison, and will try my best to get you death punishment," James shouts.158Please respect copyright.PENANAD21LmNGPVM
"Do whatever you want to. I am not scared of anything. I am not human, I told you. I am both an angel and a demon. My angel side tells me to teach you what pain is. That you should not be scared of pain, blood, or any wound. My demon side tells me how to teach you about pain in a brutal way. A person doesn't learn anything if done easily, you know that" the man laughs.158Please respect copyright.PENANAIdAJsQdELG
James takes out his mobile and calls his team. He tells them the location and asks them to reach there. 158Please respect copyright.PENANAs3GSr6NRCZ
"I already said. Enough of your bullshit. My team is coming. Your game is over."158Please respect copyright.PENANA2sHI3LChLB
The man doesn't say anything for some time. After some minutes of silence, he grabs his mask and removes it. James gets terrified after seeing the man's face, "What are you?"158Please respect copyright.PENANACpfzoQzg8D
"I told you I am not human but you did not believe me."158Please respect copyright.PENANAZkbJIP5nTn
James doesn't say anything but keeps his gun pointing toward him. The man smiles to which James thinks, "His smile. It's so terrifying. What is this person? His face," James' hand starts shaking.158Please respect copyright.PENANAzt4nN0hXhb
"I know what you are thinking. My smiling face. This is the face of both an angel and a demon. Now, you have also witnessed it and those who have seen this face have never lived long. So you can decode what I am trying to say," the man keeps smiling.158Please respect copyright.PENANAejd962H4Y6
James doesn't say anything and tries to keep his gun pointed toward him. The man lowers his arm and starts walking toward James.158Please respect copyright.PENANAX4lbkktWii
James shouts, "Stop and raise your hands."158Please respect copyright.PENANAtReTCq3eDT
The man grabs the chain with a hook and keeps walking toward James.158Please respect copyright.PENANA7ImBEkzVZP
"Stop whatever you are doing. This is my last warning."158Please respect copyright.PENANAKkyqrQsBfW
The man doesn't stop and starts running toward James. James shoots him in the chest. The man doesn't stop and keeps running. James shoots him again in the chest but it doesn't affect him. The man grabs James by his head, pierces a hook into his neck, and falls to the ground. James grabs the hook pierced into his neck. Blood is rushing out of his neck and he begins to fade. He takes out the hook and falls on the ground with blood rushing out of his neck and covering the floor. 158Please respect copyright.PENANAOxLSNAuE7X
The police team arrives at the scene after ten minutes. They check James who is lying dead on the ground and Alan, unconscious but breathing tied with chains. There's no sign of the man. There's only a mask lying on the ground. This news spreads like fire and heads of the police stations of all jurisdictions are now asked to brace themselves and their security is beefed up. 158Please respect copyright.PENANAI8rEOfYjr2
After a week, the family members of all the dead policemen are sitting in the police headquarters when the head of the operation, John arrives and sits in front of them. He says, "I asked you all to come here to tell you about the murderer."158Please respect copyright.PENANA7jvgSfUmnf
Sylvester's wife Rosy asks, "What do we have to do with this information? Catch that bastard."158Please respect copyright.PENANA5jjMYnlbkE
"I think it's important to know about the murderer. I did a detailed investigation about this person and got a lot of details about him. Let me tell you."158Please respect copyright.PENANAWXY8L584J3
He opens a notepad and says, "His name was Fred. His childhood consisted of hardship. His father was a sadist and loved torturing people for his pleasure. He would chain Fred and would torture him by cutting his skin, especially his face. He loved him screaming with pain. Growing up under an abusive father, he developed repressed mental illnesses of his own, such as bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. He made imaginary friends and told them about his pain. The pain of having an abusive father, the pain of losing his loving mother, the pain of getting tied to chains every night, the pain of getting his skin cut every night, the pain of losing blood every night, the pain of not getting any help, the pain of loneliness, the pain of feeling unwanted. He developed a mindset that everything is against him. This continuous talking of pain with his imaginary friend made him mad. When he was found in the basement, he was taken to the hospital and his father was arrested. He is still in prison. After a few days, Fred escaped from the hospital and descended into madness. He became obsessed with duality and opposites and developed a second persona, the messenger who has come to earth to tell people what real pain is and to make them stronger. He wanted the world to show the pain they suffer when they get small wounds is nothing. 158Please respect copyright.PENANA2Gc1YSCAWQ
Fred wakes up in shock. He sees the injury he got due to gunshots. There's a piece of mirror in front of him. He picks up the mirror and looks into it. His whole face looks like it's never been cleaned. There are some hairs left on his head and it looks like someone plucked his hair forcibly. His head skin is also torn badly. On the left side of his face, there is very little skin and his facial bones can be seen. The right side of his face is full of scratches. His nerves are exposed and blood has dried on scratches as if no one cleaned them ever. All the wounds on his face look old. He starts staring at his wound, stands up, and moves forward into the sewage chamber.158Please respect copyright.PENANASatRL3tnjh
"Sir, I think I cracked it. See these reports. All these officers who were killed by Fred were the heads of prisons where his father was held. His father got transferred five times. Nowadays, he is in his fifth prison. As you know the heads of the police station are also the heads of the prisons. So, Fred targeted the heads under whom his father was in prison," an assistant policeman tells John.158Please respect copyright.PENANAuPmRI8bUHd
John says with amazement, "Excellent! That's a great connection. This means that the fifth head of the police station… What's his name? Ben. He must be in danger. Alert him and increase his security. I will go to TBC prison where his father is being locked."158Please respect copyright.PENANAlneCbYNT6g
It's raining outside. Fred comes out of the sewage chamber and in front of him is the TBC prison. He keeps staring at the prison and doesn't move. He watches a car coming towards the prison's gate. After some minutes, the car enters the premises. John parks the car and leaves to meet Ben. Fred opens the car's back bonut and comes out. He takes out a piece of glass from his pocket and starts walking by the wall's side. Due to rain, guards are not standing outside. Fred enters the gate and finds two guards sitting there. He runs and slices the neck of both the guards. He continues walking and turns toward the prison cell where prisoners are locked. Another prison guard asks him to stop but he doesn't stop. He keeps walking and throws a glass piece which pierces the guard's eye. He screams and grabs the glass and takes it out. He screams more loudly. 158Please respect copyright.PENANA7q8tnMQobS
Fred grabs his mouth and whispers, "No. No screaming. This pain is nothing. What did you lose? An eye? So what?"158Please respect copyright.PENANATFKnT9PMVq
The guard gets scared seeing Fred's face from so close. He keeps screaming but his scream gets suppressed as his mouth has been covered. Fred slices the guard's neck. Fred keeps walking and stands in front of a cell. An old man is sitting on the floor. He looks at Fred and smiles, "So, you are here. They took you away from me but see, you came to papa again."158Please respect copyright.PENANAU0b5FHuCNO
Fred smiles, "I tried so many people but I never tried you. So tell me, what is pain?"158Please respect copyright.PENANAMOPA8IpQ56
The old man says in a confused tone, "What? What is pain? What question is this?"158Please respect copyright.PENANAkFK11DN8nM
Free continues smiling and says, "Come closer to me. I will tell you."158Please respect copyright.PENANAIGPoFbTf2z
The old man stands and starts walking toward Fred. Fred continues smiling and picks up the glass when a bullet hits him on the side of his neck. Fred doesn't scream or shout. He grabs the neck and checks his hands which are full of blood. The smile has gone from his face but there's no emotion on his face. The old man jumps back. Fred turns sideways and finds a team of policemen along with John coming running toward him. John again shoots and this time a bullet hits him in the head. He falls to the ground. 158Please respect copyright.PENANAbwkasjVMG5
John comes near Fred, "And the chapter is closed, at last."158Please respect copyright.PENANAwPYPHh8rcK
"You can't kill me," Fred shouts. John gets scared and jumps and shoots Fred again. 158Please respect copyright.PENANAArSnGq2NPe
Fred's vision blurs and he sees a dark empty room with chains hanging from the roof. The door opens and a shadow approaches. The shadow with chains tied to its neck says, "Humans have become weak and you tried your best to make them stronger but the mission is not yet over. I became your friend as I saw some fire in your eyes. Because you know what real pain is. Now, it's time for you to take a rest. You have suffered a lot from the very beginning. The concept of pain will be taught to everyone. It's not over."158Please respect copyright.PENANAOeoIdKeMAy
Fred's eye closes.158Please respect copyright.PENANAXAAZ1mXvEE
