The Illicitor's Code #1 048: A Mission on Dim-Dim's Birthday
Oriyan left Amma's room, and Amma kissed Dim-Dim's lips once again. "Listen," she said. "Don't let my jerk brother ruin our relationship.""What relationship do we have anyway?" Dim-Dim asked.Amma shrugged, then smiled. "Who knows. You're the boyfriend I've never had."*****Traveling by jet was quite enjoyable. But as he lounged on the plush sofa, examining the map of Vermont and trying to trace his fingers over its surface, he realized that the luxury he was enjoying was directly proportional to the hard work he had to put in.Now, almost every day there was a mission. Even with the Venator numbers increasing by almost a thousand percent (now they had two thousand Venators worldwide), monsters were still attacking settlements like crazy. The fewer humans outside the Safe City, the fewer cities to be attacked. And since last month's incident, when monsters attacked nuclear power plants in various countries and caused power outages, human civilization has been increasingly threatened
The Illicitor's Code #1 049: The Disaster in Vermont
In the form of an owl, Dim-Dim maneuvered through the air. He flapped his wings soundlessly, his movements graceful, beautiful. With feathers of deep black, he blended seamlessly with the night sky. Despite the pitch-black Vermont night, he didn't need infrared glasses. The monsters hurried on their many legs, darting from one building to another, leaping from tree to tree, towards him.The creatures were chased by deadly bullets from the Venators. Three at the front fell, leaving twelve monsters remaining."Seriously, guys, where is the last one?" Damian asked, his voice coming through the earpiece nestled in Dim-Dim's ear."Two," Oriyan corrected, his voice trembling as he pressed the trigger. "According to the app, there should have been seventeen monsters.""Could the locals have killed two of them?" Charlotte wondered. "Type A monsters?""Well, if so, we needed to recruit them—watch out, Dim-Dim!"Suddenly, unexpectedly, Dim-Dim was attacked from the side by a monster out of his
The Illicitor's Code #1 050: Chaos in Safe City
"The last signal was sent a minute ago by the on-duty Illicitor, Sir. She said, 'ask Justin to stop time immediately'."And upon hearing that, Mr. Miller immediately called the head of Dim-Dim and Justin's school, while Dim-Dim quickly took out his phone, opened the Monstrachat app, and sent a panicked chat to Justin.DIM-DIM: Justin, stop time, NOW!DIM:DIM: PLEASE!DIM-DIM: Justin, where are you?DIM-DIM: Please! I think Velicia, Clarinassa, and others are in danger!He was typing 'PLEASE' again when suddenly someone touched his back, and suddenly Justin was already by his side, his hair disheveled from running, and sweat beads dripping down from his forehead. Meanwhile, everyone around them froze. Time froze."Hey," Justin said softly, and Dim-Dim immediately stopped typing. "What's happening?"Dim-Dim stared at Justin desperately, and immediately spilled about the report they had just received about the Clarinassa team being in danger from a strange blue Type A monster that could
The Illicitor's Code #1 051: The Successful Experiment
"My plan is to smuggle you into the laboratory through food," said Valir to Dim-Dim as they hurriedly walked the emergency stairs in the hospital. While rushing, the boy quickly pulled out several candies from his Venator jacket pocket and showed them to Dim-Dim. "I'll throw candies at our friends they've confined. They might inspect the first and second candies to make sure it's food and not something dangerous. The third candy might also be checked. But on the fourth candy, you'll turn into a dragonfly and grip the wrapper tightly, then I'll throw that candy to Edel. Understand?""I understand," said Dim-Dim.But, upon arriving in front of the laboratory, they were surprised to see how crowded it was with people."Where's our child!?" protested one parent."Yeah, where's Noah!?""Where's Frank?""Amy!""George!""Isabell!""Where's Charon!?""Oh, my son."Groans, shouts, and cries could be heard from wherever they looked.Dim-Dim swallowed nervously, shocked. Meanwhile, the laborato
The Illicitor's Code #1 052: The Bad Outcome
Blood splattered in all directions, and Dim-Dim could only feel his heart racing as Amma swung the scissors in her hand and then stabbed another scientist."Amma, stop," Dim-Dim said a moment later, when he finally managed to calm himself and transform back to his normal form.The girl didn't listen. Another person fell because of her actions, and Dim-Dim backed away from her in panic. "Stop! What the hell are you thinking!?"Amma glanced at him briefly. "Coward," she said, though with a sweet tone."You—are you stopping time?" Dim-Dim asked. He looked at Justin, that was frozen nearby, and then back at Amma."Yeah, why?" Amma replied, giving him a scrutinizing look. "Are you going to help me get rid of these damn people or not?" she asked."You're not like the Amaliah I knew," Dim-Dim said, and a flicker of hurt appeared in Amma's eyes."So which one do you prefer, this version of me, or the previous one?"Dim-Dim shook his head. "I don't prefer either of them.""My friends were righ
The Illicitor's Code #1 053: To Save the Others
Outside Safe City, the streets in New Jersey were incredibly crowded. It seemed like there were a lot of people who wanted to move or escape, causing the roads to the airport and port to be jammed.Luckily, with Justin's ability to stop time, they could weave through even the smallest gaps between cars. And after a long and quite exhausting journey, they arrived at the border between Ohio and Indiana, and saw that an extremely tall wall had been built there."I'll go in first to see the situation," explained Oriyan, as he pinned a communication device to his ear."I'll go with you," said Dim-Dim."No. Illicitor shouldn't leave this van, Dim-Dim. I don't want those monsters to realize our presence," explained Damian. "Er... maybe Edel shouldn't either, because it seems she has superpowers now."So, everyone except Oriyan waited in the van while waiting for news from Oriyan."Damn Prof. Clark," cursed Justin, while bandaging his injured ear with a band-aid. "She poisoned and killed many
The Illicitor's Code #1 054: The Threatening Girl
On the way home to Safe City, Dim-Dim felt awkward around Velicia. Incredibly awkward. Like... come on! They've been friends for five years! They have breakfast and dinner together every day. Velicia is like a sister to him. If Dim-Dim wants to watch the latest movie at the cinema, he always invites Velicia. If there's a discount on delicious food, Velicia will invite Dim-Dim to go there. If he sees a beautiful accessory in the mall that he thinks Velicia would love, he'll buy it without second thought and give it to Velicia. And when something happens at school, whether it's heart-wrenching or joyful, he saves the story to tell Velicia when they meet. If there's a torn piece of clothing, Velicia will help Dim-Dim sew it. Dim-Dim has also slept in Velicia's room if Velicia has just had a bad dream and doesn't want to sleep alone for the rest of the night.But now Dim-Dim doesn't know if she can be that close to Velicia again. Everything changed just because of one kiss.*****Upon arr
The Illicitor's Code #1 055: The Threatening Girl 2
"Please don't come to see Edel again," Valir said. "Just stay away from her. Forever."And Dim-Dim immediately looked at Valir in confusion."What do you mean, Valir?" asked Dim-Dim. He tried to remain calm, but honestly, he never expected to hear such words from Valir. His heart was hurt. "Do you think I'm a threat to Edel?""Edel has always been hurt because of you.""Wait—what?""I don't want to explain it now. But it's better if you go home and stay away from Edel forever," said Valir. "One more thing, never contact her again."Dim-Dim felt his anger boiling. "Who are you to tell me to stop being friends with Edel?" he protested.And at that moment, Valir stood up and grabbed Dim-Dim's jacket collar. His eyes were full of anger. "While I'm still being polite, you better leave.""I won't leave!" shouted Dim-Dim, and then Justin punched him in the face. Some people around them immediately stepped back and screamed in shock. "You hit me! I thought we were friends?" said Dim-Dim, in d
