Chapter 22 - Slime Hunting

***

Meanwhile, in a dark part of Brighton, a human, dressed all in black, with black sunglasses to hide his colour, is walking down the street. The man has beautiful blonde hair, white skin and a blonde moustache. The man looks like someone who is from either the movie The Matrix or like someone who worked in the Men in Blacks films or the animated TV show that was a hit back then.

That man is not alone. Next to him there can be seen, but not any ghost. A ghost that looks like Lucian. The man is aware of this because this is no ordinary man. This is Louis, wearing fake human skin. He wears it from time to time to make him visible to his team members or to the ordinary humans, who are mainly composed of single women, rarely male humans.

"Are you sensing something?" asks Lucian, flying at a low altitude to Louis.

"Nothing." responds Louis to Lucian holding an ordinary remote that can detect the nearby monsters who are fresh coming from the second dimension (Individuals from the second dimension who contacted the first dimension in the span of twenty-four hours). "But the report said it should be in this area."

"And slime monsters are not very fast in terms of agility."

"Plus, this one should be almost two meters tall. Anything could see him and freak out if he walked here."

"I will try to fly higher," says Lucian. "You try and go into another alley."

"Got it."

Lucian proceeds to fly higher in altitude, and Louis is walking in a narrow alleyway. These two people need to find this monster as soon as possible, otherwise they will be in major trouble. A slime monster might be easy to find due to its body shape and the weird smell, but it can also go through some holes and end up in the walls of a house or go into the sewer system.

After three minutes, Louis found the slime creature and they had to search for it. At first, he wasn't totally sure the device was right about it. He tried to shake it a bit, but the device indicates a monster inside a building. Louis touches the walls of the building, and he can feel something weird about the walls. They have that feeling of being wet, even though it hasn't rained yet here in Brighton.

Louis was looking at the sky. The sky is clear, and the sun is in the sky. No grey cloud here in the sky. Lucian is using it to look down on the monster. And when we talked about Lucian, he stopped searching after his co-worker. Louis stopped from walking, and looked at the wall of the building, which looked like one used to store goods. A small warehouse, to be more precise.

"What is it?" asks Lucian, dropping to the ground slowly. "Did you find it?"

"The device says it is here." he says, looking at the device, and he looks at Lucian. "Lucian."

"Got it." responds Lucian, who is immediately going into the walls of the building, and he comes back in a few seconds. "Yeap. He is here."

"All of it?"

"It doesn't like one who is two meters tall. Maybe one maximum."

"It means he must've lost a few pounds of his here," said Lucian. "We should capture that part and look for the other one. We have to find it fast. God knows, what kind of lunatic kid would try to eat the thing if he saw it."

"I will open the garage and let you send it to the cells.", says Lucian, going back into the building interior and heading to the garage door to open for Louis.

When the door was opened, Louis saw the slime monster, sitting in a corner and sad. The man takes out the device these Hunters used in Southampton to hunt Goblins. Without any hesitation, he puts it on the top of the monster. The device, instead of killing it, Louis put the setting of transportation to the cells of Team 4.

In a matter of seconds, the small green slime was sent to the cells. Back to the safety of this cruel world for a creature like him so pure. These two continue to search this area for the other half of the slime creature.
