"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

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.

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?"
The Illicitor's Code #1 129: Mouse's Betrayal 2
Dim-Dim should have known this would happen. But he didn't know, and never anticipated, that Mouse's will did this. His hatred towards Dim-Dim ran this deep, leading the man to finish his life. Luckily, Velicia and Jonathan had been sent here to help Dim-Dim. Although it would take them at least an hour for their jet to arrive, and Dim-Dim wasn't sure he could hold out that long without a clear tactic. So, while circling the forest and cliffs below him, just less than twenty meters away from the elephant-sized Type A monster behind him, he pondered tactics. As an Illicitor with the superpower to transform into any animal, Dim-Dim was categorized as one with good agility and movement abilities, often paired with skilled trap-makers like Jay. But today, he had no venator to set up those traps, so he had to create his own. Dim-Dim surveyed the area and was surprised to find a mud pool below him. Then he glanced at the sea not far from their current location. There was a fifty percen
The Illicitor's Code #1 130: Velicia's Funeral and Safe House
The funeral ceremony of Velicia took place in Safe City, and Dim-Dim could only witnessed it by online through the live streaming video on his phone.On Dim-Dim's phone screen, Velicia appeared so pale and beautiful, with her fiery red hair, indicating that her emotional state just before death was one of great anger.Dim-Dim also felt that anger until last night he couldn't stop imagining killing Mouse, choking him, slamming him to the ground after what that evil man did to Velicia. But it wasn't right to do so, and it seemed Society would hold a closed trial for Mouse after intentionally killing an Illicitor, drugging the van driver and the Illicitor working with him, shooting another venator in the arm, and intending to commit premeditated murder against an off-duty Illicitor. Mouse's punishment would be severe, Justin said, but Dim-Dim wanted Mouse to be sentenced to death, and besides that punishment, nothing else would suffice for him.And as he watched Velicia's closed coffin a
The Illicitor's Code #1 131: The Monster Virus
"Amma got contaminated with a disease from the koi fish in the laboratory," Justin muttered. "And if she got infected, it means the virus on the fish caused by the monster can also spread to other humans, right?""Right," said Dim-Dim, forcing himself to speak, as his mind began to fill with thoughts of Amma.Amma is sick. Amma is dying. Maybe this is what Amma wanted to say all along when the girl chased her to Safe City New Jersey, but never had the chance to speak because Dim-Dim always withdrew from her after that incident."Let's check the next room," mumbled Dim-Dim, and then they left Amma's room.The next two bedrooms were empty, clean, and tidy, obviously prepared for them.Dim-Dim chose the room right next to Amma's, while Justin chose the one at the far end, closest to the bathroom. He grabbed a towel from his bag, threw his bag onto the bed, and then slipped into the bathroom, eager to clean himself up. Meanwhile, Dim-Dim placed his bag on the table, then flopped onto his
The Illicitor's Code #1 132: Few Days Before the Trial
"Until then, let me take care of you," said Dim-Dim before can holding back, and Amma immediately shook her head."No, I'm fine," said Amma. "I'm sick, that's true, but I can still carry on with my daily activities just fine."Dim-Dim sighed. "Alright. Besides, I'm still angry with you," he said. But he still hoped that the issue would be resolved between them, hence why he stayed."I apologize for everything that happened between us in the past few months," said Amma. And reluctantly, Dim-Dim nodded. But Amma wasn't finished. "But I didn't take you to my workplace to make you jealous of Marcus, Dim-Dim. I took you to my workplace to show Marcus that I have a boyfriend, and he should stop flirting with me and making me hope that one day I could date him and gain the attention of my parents, which wouldn't compare to the genuine love I had that time. That's what I wanted Dim-Dim. I wanted to show Marcus that I have you, not the other way around. I..." Amma
The Illicitor's Code #1 133: Jonathan's Eulogy for Velicia
On that afternoon, Dim-Dim and his friends received shocking news from the Society. It turned out that the previous night, Damian and Clarinassa's house had been attacked by unknown assailants. Fortunately, Damian and Clarinassa always locked their bedroom and kept weapons in a drawer under the bed. They managed to defeat the criminals and apprehend them, then handed them over to the police. Surprisingly, one of the attackers was Dr. ZA, and the others were men paid by him, two of whom were underage.The global community was both terrified and amazed by this news, and Dim-Dim, Pedro, and Justin couldn't get enough of watching the recreation video of the incident."Wow, look at how Damian reloads Clarinassa's gun in just two seconds? The woman moves like a ghost, so fast," Pedro exclaimed."They're the perfect duo," muttered Justin, slowing down the video at the scene where Damian and Clarinassa jumped and rolled behind the sofa, using everything as a shield. "Clary and Damian clearly
