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
The Illicitor's Code #1 056: The Threatening Girl 3
"Let's deal with that girl now," Justin said seriously."I'll handle her myself," Dim-Dim insisted. "Anyway, this is between me and her.""Yeah, but I don't think so," Justin said. "I'd rather be involved in your plan.""She'll be angry," Dim-Dim said. "She won't like being cornered."Justin sighed. "Okay," he said. "What's your plan?"After a moment of thought, Dim-Dim replied, "Hmm... I'll take her to a closed room—maybe my room—tie her to a chair, and ask her to stay away from my friends.""That will only make her angrier," Justin said. But then he laughed. "I'm sure negotiating with her won't be easy, but I trust you."So, with Justin's help, they brought Amma to Dim-Dim's room in the Venator apartment, tied her hands and feet to the chair, and removed all sharp objects from the room."Okay, now I'll go back to the hospital, and then you can talk to her," Justin said.And after he left Dim-Dim's room, time resumed around them.Amma blinked at Dim-Dim, slightly surprised, but even m
The Illicitor's Code #1 057: To Catch the Blue Monster
"…And you taste like Cherry, but you are so damn scary," Justin has been singing since earlier, while Dim-Dim struggled to zip up his Illicitor uniform, which got stuck on a thread, "break my heart sometimes, I could let you hurt me for the rest of my life."It turns out Justin left his phone recording yesterday in Dim-Dim's room, which made him exactly know what happened between Dim-Dim and Amma, and now the guy can't stop teasing Dim-Dim."Once again I hear you singing that damn song, I'll punch you!" Dim-Dim yelled in frustration, losing his patience. Justin chuckled."Amma is clearly your 'fille fatale'," he said. "'The girl who you will die for.'"Dim-Dim rolled his eyes, annoyed.At that moment, Dim-Dim, Justin, and Velicia were about to leave for a joint training session with Venators and Illicitors from other countries, and they promised to go together."By the way, isn't it weird that the blue monster never showed up again?" Dim-Dim remarked.Justin shrugged. "Maybe it's gath
The Illicitor's Code #1 058: The Idea of Violating the Code
"I can't trust my hearing," Velicia said, looking at Dim-Dim with confusion. "Are you serious about your terrible idea?""What? I'm just suggesting my idea," Dim-Dim said. "I'm suggesting New York City because non-Safe City settlements are still bustling there and very easily accessible."Velicia shook her head, frustrated. "What I just heard was you intending to violate the Illicitor Code. And not just any code, but CODE NUMBER ONE! 'Do not lure monsters into a city full of innocents', remember?" Velicia's voice raised now. "They, the people of NYC, are innocent! Our actions would be like... murder. Maybe genocide! And you...""If we're careful, no one necessarily has to die, okay?" Dim-Dim tried to dismiss Velicia. But when he saw Miller considering his idea seriously, he felt guilty and turned to look at Velicia again. The girl was taking deep breaths, trying to gather patience."Listen, Vel! I think that is the right thing to do. That monster has already killed nearly 70% of the p
