The Illicitor's Code #1 121: Back to do the Research
With a light heart, Dim-Dim got out of the taxi, then leaned on Tara's grandmother house fence. He hummed a cheerful song while typing a message to Tara on MONSTRACHAT.DIM-DIM: I'm in front of your house :)Based on experience, Tara usually took some time to reply to his messages. She had a daily routine of cleaning her grandmother's spacious house, and her phone often got left behind in her room.However, Dim-Dim was lucky today because Tara replied to his message faster.TARA HIRANO: I know you don't need someone to open the gate for you to enter, considering how you entered my room yesterday, but okay. I'll open the gate for you. Please wait five minutes ;)Dim-Dim laughed, then removed the earbuds from his ears and put them in his pocket, waiting for Tara.The girl appeared almost a minute later, wearing an off-shoulder T-shirt and long pajama pants. Her sandy blonde, cut short hair looked slightly damp.Her face lit up with a bright smile. "Come in, and help me lift the grandma'
The Illicitor's Code #1 122: Doing Research in the Monster's Lair
"Don't you think we need to bring shovels and hammers? You know, for self-defense," Tara said as Dim-Dim grabbed his Illicitor gear, and Dim-Dim shook his head."No need. Just bring... determination," Dim-Dim grinned. "We're not going there to kill them anyway. We're going there to investigate them... Oh, my bad—I'm the one investigating them, not 'we'," Dim-Dim said.And then, they headed to the yard where Tara's black Ronge Rover was parked.Tara quickly got in and sat behind the wheel, while Dim-Dim sat in the passenger seat."Ready?" Dim-Dim asked."I'm ready," Tara replied.Dim-Dim smiled. "This is irrelevant information, but the Venators and Illicitors would definitely respond, 'more than ready'."Tara smiled. "I think I'm ready, but leaning towards 'must be ready'. I'm not as confident as you guys."Then she fastened her seatbelt, and her foot pressed the gas pedal, taking them from her spacious grandmother's mansion to the Brooklyn area, specifically towards Amma's house area.
The Illicitor's Code #1 123: Venator Society Response and Partner
The first person Dim-Dim called was his brother, Damian, who responded very enthusiastically."Gauze? Are you sure? And that's more tempting to them than blood?" Damian asked. "Clary, Clary, you need to hear this!" he called to his wife, Clarinassa."Yes, I'm sure that they eat gauze with antiseptic fluid and just a few drops of blood, and the scent is so intoxicating to them," Dim-Dim explained, pressing his phone between his ear and shoulder."Oh wow," Clary said, "Congratulations, Dim-Dim! This discovery is amazing! You should report this to the Society! It could mean a lot!""Tara is writing that report for me," Dim-Dim said excitedly. He leaned over to Tara, who was typing eagerly on Dim-Dim's laptop, and said, "The customer service rep's name, if I'm not mistaken, is Veronica Shine.""Okie dokie," Tara said cheerfully."Who's Tara?" Damian asked, and suddenly Dim-Dim realized he hadn't told Damian and Clarinassa about Tara before."She's my college friend," Dim-Dim replied. "I'm
The Illicitor's Code #1 124. Facing the Threat
Later that evening..."Okay, please attach this smallcamera device to my head after I transform into a type A ant-sized monster," Dim-Dim requested Tara, while handing over the very, very, very small camera to her."This is so tiny, it feels like threading a needle," Tara muttered. But she quickly shut her mouth when Dim-Dim had already transformed into a type A ant-sized monster, and she hurriedly crouched on the ground next to Dim-Dim, then placed the camera on his tiny monster head. There was a strap accompanying the camera, but Tara didn't know how to attach it to Dim-Dim's head, so Dim-Dim impatiently attached the camera to his head himself, with his monster legs."Alright, good, and the video it produces is very clear," Tara said while looking at the laptop connected to the camera on Dim-Dim's head, and then Dim-Dim entered the burrow monster resembling a cave.He conducted the research expedition for about forty minutes, recording and takin
The Illicitor's Code #1 125: Assault at Midnight
"Hm, so the girl just replied to your message while being chased by monsters? How romantic," Tara muttered.Dim-Dim didn't respond her, because he didn't know if Tara was serious or being sarcastic, then he went back to working on his thesis. Meanwhile, Tara decided to go up to her bed and read a novel.They continued like this, doing their respective tasks without speaking until suddenly Tara said,"Aren't you going to sleep? Aren't we supposed to leave for Safe City tomorrow?""No, I'm going stay wake up all night to catch the bastard who sent you the threatening message," Dim-Dim said firmly."And then what? Are you going to beat him up?" Tara asked. "Because I don't—""I wonder why you're not worried," Dim-Dim interrupted. "I mean, you're alone at home, Tara. This house is huge, and if you scream, your neighbors won't hear you. So you'll have to duel with this guy, whoever he is. But that's if he comes alone. What if the bast
The Illicitor's Code #1 126: Scandal and The Results
When Dim-Dim woke up late the next day, he found over 100 notifications on his phone. Instinctively, he opened Damian's message first.Damian: OH MY GOSH, I watched the news. Are you okay, Dim-Dim? That girl's ex is really insane.Then Dim-Dim realized there was an unnatural noise outside. Rising from bed, he found many reporters in the yard.Dim-Dim quickly replied to Damian's message: I'm okay. Just a few scratches. Don't worry about me. I'll be back in Safe City this afternoon.He then read Velicia's messages, who had called him twenty times that morning.Velicia: Dim-Dim, please answer my calls.Velicia: There's a mission this morning. I canceled it and asked Mouse to swap missions.Velicia: Come on! You have to pick up my call. I see a lot of blood stains at the crime scene being broadcasted on TV!How could last night's events make it to the news? Was it that big of a commotion?Then he opened his laptop, waiting for it to load today's news page, while reading Justin's message.
The Illicitor's Code #1 127: Rescued to a Safer Place
"I heard they asked for you to be temporarily suspended and moved to a safe place now, because you're a key witness," Justin said. "I think they'll pick you up tonight.""What!?" Dim-Dim asked in shock. "But tonight, Tara and I will have a discussion with the research team from the Society.""That's not important anymore, Dim-Dim. Besides, your thesis is almost finished, right? You just need to analyze the data you have, right?" Justin asked.Dim-Dim nodded weakly. "Yeah, but—""I'm glad you've been moved to a safer place," Velicia said, hugging him."—the boy who attacked us last night had nothing to do with Dr. ZA," muttered Dim-Dim. "He's Tara's boyfriend. He—""Some say he got weapons from an unknown old man," Justin said. "Haven't you read the latest news?"Why is there always the lattest news?! Less than 40 minutes ago Dim-Dim read the latest news, and now there's more.He and Tara quickly read the news, and it turns out Tara's boyfriend admitted to getting the weapon from an un
The Illicitor's Code #1 128: Mouse's Betrayal
The journey of 1000 miles took 3 days. So Dim-Dim tried to enjoy it as much as possible. He informed Damian about his destination, a 'safer place' he himself didn't know where it was, then watched the list of must-watch movies made by Justin. Turns out, those movies were quite enjoyable.However, Dim-Dim's attention shifted completely from the movies when he finally realized that the car carrying him suddenly stopped."What's happening?" Dim-Dim asked, and Cassini glanced back."It's okay, just a warning that there's a monster the size of an African elephant less than 1 kilometer ahead of us," Cassini replied."Oh, that's very close," Dim-Dim said. He checked his watch and saw that the sunset was imminent, and the monster would become active."Maybe it's best if we stop at the nearest underground hotel," the driver suggested. "I've never encountered a type A monster the size of an African elephant, and I hope I never do.""Okay," Cassini said. "Where's the nearest underground hotel?"
