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
The Illicitor's Code #1 059: The Type S Monster Capture Mission
Dim-Dim didn't know how long he had been watching the movie in Justin's living room. But it seemed long enough to make him fall asleep on the arm of the sofa in a position that made his neck ache. And after a few hours, he woke up because of a phone call from Edel. He opened his eyes to answer the call and then placed his phone to his ear.Only when he heard Edel's voice did he fully wake up."Dim-Dim, hi." Edel's voice sounded clear and light."Hi," Dim-Dim immediately adjusted his sitting position. He glanced at Justin, who was sound asleep on the sofa next to him, then looked at the wall clock. 2 AM. "How's the brain surgery?" Dim-Dim asked."Smooth," Edel replied. "Actually, the surgery was done yesterday, but I think I slept for a long time because of the anesthetic medication for surgery.""I'm glad you're okay," Dim-Dim said, feeling his heart melt. "So, how are you feeling now?""I don't have a headache anymore," Edel answered. And before Dim-Dim could ask again, she quickly sa
The Illicitor's Code #1 060: The Plan for 5 Illicitors
At eight in the morning, Dim-Dim and Justin set off for the Venator building. Outside Venator, seven vans were already waiting."Dim-Dim, come here," called Clarinassa, her face bright and enthusiastic. "Let Xavera measure your blood pressure."Dim-Dim sat in a chair in front of the blood pressure measuring machine and inserted his arm. He felt the machine compressing his arm."You both look excited," Dim-Dim said to Xavera and Clarinassa.They both laughed. "Caught us, huh?" Xavera asked, while Clarinassa looked around with a smile and then said, "Today's mission reminds me of the day we were introduced to Type A monsters for the first time."Dim-Dim recalled that day. "The mission in Forks," he said."Oh no," said Icaros, from above Dim-Dim. He had just arrived and sat down on the plastic bench next to Dim-Dim. "The one in Forks was Damian's team. Our team was in West Virginia at the time, not too far from there.""Yeah, then we were told by the system that Damian's team was ordered
The Illicitor's Code #1 061: Through the Holland Tunnel
"Leave this place right now and let me call your replacement Illicitor!" Poe said harshly."It's not fair!" Dim-Dim exclaimed angrily.Poe shook her head, her face filled with irritation. "You don't know how much we need those who can stop time, Dim-Dim!" she shouted. "And now you've hurt one of them when they are our hope!"Dim-Dim felt hurt by Poe's words. He felt Poe had just confirmed that he was no more useful than other super-powered kids.Poe realized that her words had hurt Dim-Dim, but she didn't care. "Go on, leave. There are plenty of Illicitors who want to join this mission!"Dim-Dim looked at Noah's face, which secretly showed a victorious expression, then grabbed his bag from the floor and slung it over his shoulder. He felt everyone's eyes on him now, and tried to stay strong because no one was defending him.Until suddenly, Velicia stepped forward and said, "I saw Noah was the one who approached Dim-Dim first, and he tried to hit Dim-Dim first, Poe. Dim-Dim's actions s
The Illicitor's Code #1 062: Through the Parks in New York
Upon hearing that, Edel immediately stopped time on her own initiative, and they all ran towards one direction: Walker Park.A few moments later, they could see a large mural from afar located near the park and soccer field. The mural depicted five adult male faces, two of them with mustaches and one wearing a cap."That must be the place," said Dim-Dim, recognizing the large mural as 'The Immigrants,' a fairly famous mural in New York City.They paused there for a moment to catch their breath.Edel resumed time."So what now?" asked Noah, showing no signs of fatigue."Activate our superpowers," Velicia and Justin almost simultaneously replied. Velicia then transformed her hair into glowing pink, then blue, then yellow, and then green. "Okay, done!""Nice, Velicia," praised Poe, through the earpieces in their ears. "Justin, for the next five minutes, please don't stop time and let the monster continue to track you from behind. Don't make it suspicious.""Oh, okay, Poe..." said Justin,
