The Illicitor's Code #1 092: Some Information About Mr. Loghan
The next day, Dim-Dim decided to go to the animal hospital where his father worked. He wanted to find out more about Mr. Loghan, who was a close friend of his late mother, and perhaps his father remembered something."Can I meet my father, Doctor Damisch?" Dim-Dim asked a sweet receptionist with a heart-shaped face and short orange-dyed hair."Good afternoon, of course you can!" the receptionist replied cheerfully. "But at the moment, Doctor Damisch is performing surgery on a koi fish.""How long will that take?" Dim-Dim asked, surprised."I'm not sure. But it might take a few hours," the woman replied. "How about you come back here tomorrow?""Okay," Dim-Dim replied, somewhat disappointed. However, just as he was about to leave the animal hospital, the operating room door suddenly opened, and his father along with some paramedics walked out. They were carrying an unconscious koi fish on a wheeled table.Dim-Dim was amazed to see the koi fish, especially because he rarely saw a fish l

"That wasn't my jacket. From your description, it sounds like a hunting jacket. And I never went hunting."Dim-Dim felt as though someone had just slapped him when his father said that."But my mom lost her sight," Dim-Dim muttered. "Perhaps she doesn't know—""No, even before she lost her sight, she no longer loved me," his father said. "But I won't tell you about that past, because I don't want your perception of your mother to change."And now Dim-Dim stared at his father with anger. "I don't believe you," he said with hatred, then stormed out of his father's room.Outside the hospital, he transformed into an eagle and flew towards the venator building, towards Damian.*****"Damian!" he exclaimed, running towards the venator building. His forehead was sweating, and his breath was short."Dim-Dim," Velicia said, the first to see him in the room, while Damian, who was running on the treadmill, saw Dim-Dim's expression and pressed the button to stop the treadmill.The man got off the
The Illicitor's Code #1 094: A New Mission in London
"Guys, guys, they've got a lead on where Mr. Loghan is hiding!" Damian exclaimed, excitedly, and right after that, Dim-Dim and Velicia's phones buzzed loudly, their screens turning red, indicating a new mission."So, this is your first mission," Oriyan said as they all entered the van. In this mission, only one team was sent, Oriyan's team, but Dim-Dim was also included because he knew Mr. Loghan."Yeah, my first mission as an Illicitor," Damian said, grinning. "I hope there are no monsters. But even if he does keep monsters at his residence, like yesterday, I think we're all ready."Damian was very confident about this, making Dim-Dim feel jealous."The man lives downtown," Valir said, just entering the van and sitting beside Dim-Dim. "Because his residence is downtown, I doubt he'll keep monsters there.""Yeah, if the neighbors find out, he could be reported," Charlotte added. "Hey, Dim-Dim, you seem tense."Valee and the others also glanced at Dim-Dim. "Yeah, a little. I think it's
The Illicitor's Code #1 095: Safe Borough in London and a Nightmare
"In this case," Oriyan said as they disembarked from the jet and got into the waiting van, "I'm glad we came here in the daytime.""Yeah," Damian followed in two wide leaps that were impressive. In half a second, Damian had moved from the jet's stairs into the Illicitor's van. Dim-Dim and Velicia followed suit, and only after that did the other venators get into the van."Do you want to go to the London Borough of Newham?" the van driver asked, and they all nodded immediately. "Are you sure?" the driver asked, his face grim. "There... uh... it's a bit too far from the Safe Borough.""I thought we already told you that our destination is there," Dr. Valee said, puzzled."Yes, but I guess you just don't know the situation yet," the man said."What situation?" Damian and Oriyan asked simultaneously, and the man shrugged."Well... a few days ago, there was a type A monster birthing at Hamlet's Tower, hundreds of babies," the driver explained reluctantly. "We were so busy with internal con
The Illicitor's Code #1 096: The Nightmare in London
"It's a nightmare," Dr. Valee said as they all gathered in the central venator building's hall. There they were given sleeping bags matching their numbers and dinner delivered in the form of porridge and bread. "I've reported to Miller," Oriyan said. "But he said we should not give up and lose the old bastard who created these monsters. He's clearly here, and he created those crazy monsters to protect his fortress." "But if we leave now to catch hin, we'll die," Charlotte said, biting her nails, clearly scared. "Lottie, don't be afraid," Damian said, trying to reassure her. "Some of Vera's team are survived, so there must be a way to complete this mission." "But what if I'm the one who doesn't survive, Damian?" Charlotte suddenly snapped, and they all froze as they saw Charlotte stand up. "I've been willing to fight as a Venator because I wanted to have a control of what's happening. But what's happening now..." she looked conflicted and pained now, and Oriyan rose to comfort h
The Illicitor's Code #1 097: Facing the Nightmare
"Quick, quick, everyone! Let's hurry up, we need to catch that Old Man!" said Oriyan, and their team immediately rose to prepare to head towards the van.For this mission, their team would combine forces with eight teams from Venator in the UK, the majority of which consisted of Venator Class B and C teams.Dim-Dim still thought of this as a suicide mission, but he tried to remain confident."Team Clary will catch up to help us," Damian reassured Dim-Dim. "But right now, they're on a mission in Orlando, so it might take a while.""Okay," said Dim-Dim, trying to stay calm. He entered the van with Velicia and Valir, then the three of them sat in the back row of passenger seats."Okay, during the mission, make sure you have knives ready in hand," Oriyan said, pacing outside the van while waiting for everyone to get in. "The goal is to make sure those monsters have a hard time devouring us.""I have an idea," Valir said, his face stern. "What if we just throw mines at their heads? From th
The Illicitor's Code #1 098: Survival Strategy of Mr. Loghan
"What do you mean, Naomi? Mr. Loghan is just an ordinary old man, right? And Dim-Dim will be fully armed, although I think it's unnecessary because his supernatural power is transforming into any animals," Oriyan asked, puzzled.Naomi's voice sounded hesitant as she replied. "But the person who created these terrible monsters can't be just an ordinary person, Mr. Parenzee.""He's just an ordinary person," Oriyan insisted. "And he's very old. I trust my Illicitors can handle him."Naomi sighed resignedly. "Alright, if you're so confident in him," she said. "But I'd prefer if that boy is accompanied by a few Class B venators. Three, perhaps."Oriyan responded with a frustrated sigh. "Alright, if you insist, Naomi," he said. "But no. We need as much members as possible to face the monsters."And after that, the communication between teams was cut off.*****As they approached the London Borough of Newham, Dim-Dim became increasingly aware that the Doctor who treated Vera in the hospital
The Illicitor's Code #1 099: Chasing Mr. Loghan
As the world slowly lit up around him, Dim-Dim found himself confined in a small cage. Rat carcasses were placed not far from his head.He rose and observed his surroundings. He was on a study desk in a child's bedroom; with a single-bed model mattress, a Spider-Man stickered plastic wardrobe, glow in thedark star stickers on the wall, animal action figures on the bed, and a basketball hoop behind the door.The robot boy's room, he thought. He could easily escape by turning into an insect and then slipping out of the cage. But his gut feeling told him to wait.Faintly, he heard voices, an old man, chatting with a woman and a child. There were also the clinks of forks and spoons, indicating that they were eating."How's Damian, dear?" Mr. Loghan asked."He's fine," answered a woman with a stiff voice similar to Dim-Dim's mother's voice. Dim-Dim's heart ached momentarily. This situation was strange.Why did Mr. Loghan surround himself with robots pretending to be Dim-Dim's deceased moth
