Chapter 1004: Dolittle....is him!

Translator: Sean88888 Editor: Elkassar1

The lights were bright, and all was quiet.

In the spacious living room, Sheyan and his allies crowded around Dolittle like stars surrounding the moon.

Although Dolittle knew very well that any one of the people in front of him had enough power to kill him with a single finger without a care for the law, he still appeared very calm. He had obviously dealt with contestants many times before and had learned a lot of things about them.

Facing Dolittle, Sheyan received a series of notifications:

[ Congratulations on finding the key person in the storyline, Dolittle. ]

[ Warning: The conversation you are about to have with Dolittle will be affected by the completion rate of the previous prerequisite tasks in the mission. Please respond with caution. ]

Since the nightmare imprint reminded Sheyan to "respond with caution", he certainly would not take the reminder lightly. Clearly, now was the time to check whether he had done his preparation work thoroughly in the early stages.

Dolittle stared at Sheyan and his group with a strange gleam in his eyes. He was suspicious and delighted at the same time, but more than that, he was wary.

"Are you outsiders? Those people who possess immense power, traveling here from another dimension to perform the tasks given by their gods?"

"We are," Sheyan was unwilling to say too much right now. He knew that the more he spoke, the higher his chances of saying something wrong. He hoped to discover as much of Dolittle's secret as he could from this conversation .

Dolittle simply asked, "I wish to know one thing. How did you find me?"

Instead of answering Dolittle, Sheyan narrowed his eyes and asked in return, "What do you think?"

Dolittle just shrugged and replied, "Probably through the FBI. As far as I know, those idiots have been looking for me for five years. They've been trudging forward relentlessly like they're Terminators."

Sheyan stared at Dolittle, various thoughts running through his mind. In the end, he decided to tell Dolittle the truth.

"No, that's not it."

While he said that, he took out a metal nut.

"We obtained this nut by chance and unexpectedly found the letters SOS on it after thousands of times of magnification. Out of curiosity, we followed the trail of clues left on the nut and finally tracked them to you."

"With only this nut to go on?" asked Dolittle in disbelief.

"That's right," answered Sheyan seriously.

Next, Sheyan told him all the steps they had gone through. When Sheyan took out the clothes Nicholas were wearing before he went to prison, Dolittle immediately showed his interest. He took the clothes and inspected the collar carefully.

Sheyan was secretly relieved. He now knew that the package of clothes did contain some information, but the information was not meant for contestants; it was for Dolittle!

When Dolittle put down the clothes, he finally nodded and said, "Seems like you really did break into the prison."

At that moment, Sheyan received another notification:

[ You submitted the relevant important item and have gained a little of Dolittle's trust. The completion rate of prerequisite tasks increased by 20%.]

After receiving this prompt, Sheyan silently screamed in joy. If he had lied to Dolittle in order to gain more information and said that he obtained Dolittle's details from the FBI, it would have been tragic. He would not get the chance to present this important storyline item. He may very well increase Dolittle's enmity instead of Dolittle's trust.

Next, Dolittle inspected the metal nut and confirmed the letters SOS on it. He could not help but sigh.

"I knew making contact with Nicholas would drag this friend of mine into my troubles, so I gave him an address. Nicholas said that if he ran into any problems, he'll ask for help in a way I wouldn't expect. Well, he's right, it was a way I didn't expect. Unfortunately, the nut did not reach me in time."

The metal nut increased Dolittle's trust by a further 30%.

Sheyan saved the best for the last. First, he took out the damaged pacemaker and asked, "Do you recognise this?"

When Dolittle saw the pacemaker, his expression instantly changed.

"Where did you get this from?"

"You should know very well where I got it from," answered Sheyan calmly.

Dolittle eyes bulged. "You killed him?"

Sheyan smiled and replied, "We're not executioners, brother. When we found him, he was already a corpse."

Dolittle shook his head fiercely.

"That's impossible! Based on my calculation....the remaining energy can keep him alive for at least 30 years! Since he didn't die on the operating table, he's bound to live for another 30 years!"

To that, Sheyan could only sigh and say, "Mr. Dolittle, being able to live for 30 years in theory is completely different from being able to live for 30 years in reality. Take John F. Kennedy for example. He's only 46, but he's dead too."

"You mean Nicholas committed suicide?" asked Dolittle with some suspicion.

Sheyan shook his head.

"No, he didn't. The government probably thought that his secret was too shocking, so once he showed the slightest possibility of being out of their control, a nerve gas was released in his prison cell. We did our best, but unfortunately we were a step late."

Dolittle was silent for a moment, but for some reason, Sheyan did not feel much sadness from him. Dolittle then raised his head and asked, "Did you find anything else?"

"We did find something which piqued our interest. And that was why we came here looking for you."

Sheyan turned to look at Zi, who took the hint and held out the test tube.

"This drop of liquid was hidden inside the pacemaker. As soon as it was exposed, it immediately turned into a silver needle and killed the forensic doctor who was performing the autopsy, but it no longer displayed such ability afterwards. Now, it has become mercury-like. It appears to be dead."

Dolittle took the test tube from Zi. His eyes when he looked at the drop of liquid were filled with a complex emotion. There were both expectation and fear. He could not stop his hand from shaking.

After a long time, he slowly said, "Its energy is very limited to begin with, and after being released, its instinct was awakened and it transformed to kill. The energy in the liquid particle battery is completely spent, so of course it would fall into a dormant state."

After Dolittle said all these, the nightmare imprint prompted Sheyan again. Dolittle's trust has increased by 50% further! Together with the previous increments, that made 100%! At that instant, a series of notifications emerged on Sheyan's retina.

[ Respected Lieutenant Colonel No. 1018. ]

[ You have obtained the highest level of evaluation (Max) for the prerequisite tasks of this mission. ]

[ You have triggered the relevant subsequent task. ]

[ Calculating.... ]

[ Programming.... ]

[ Performing relevant checks.... ]

[ You have obtained the first chapter of a silver series mission, "Dolittle's Wish"! ]

[ Hint: Silver Series Side Missions are the mission series of the highest difficulty level. These kind of missions are often very long, spanning across multiple nightmare worlds. They are divided into numerous steps, labelled A, B, C, D and so on. After the completion of each step, you can either choose to receive the reward or accumulate it until the next step. Of course, if you manage to complete the final step, you will receive the ultimate reward. ]

Sheyan heaved a long breath. No wonder Drubal could not get the perfect reward. This mission was crazy hard. Merely triggering the mission was already a monumental task. Not only must they discover all the clues, they must also have the key item! They were lucky that the mastermind behind the scenes was gone, otherwise Sheyan probably would not have been able to get the maximum level of evaluation if he had to deal with the mastermind at the same time.

They had now gained Dolittle's complete trust. Dolittle looked around at the people surrounding him and quietly said, "The name Dolittle is actually just an alias. My real name is....."

"WHAT!!!"

In this instant, be it Sheyan, Mogensha, Zi or Reef, they were all shocked out of their wits. The name Dolittle had just uttered possessed astonishing prestige even in the world they came from. The person who possessed that name was hailed as the most famous thinker and theoretician since Einstein, and the greatest scientist in the world!

Zi was the first to recover from the shock. She instantly exclaimed, "That's impossible! If you're him, there's no way you can sit here and talk to us like this. That man has already lost his ability to speak!"

"Indeed. That would've been the case if you outsiders didn't appear in this world," Dolittle calmly replied.

Sheyan suddenly thought of a shocking possibility. Although the probability was very minute, it was undoubtedly the most logical. He couldn't help exclaiming, "Did....did an outsider like us cure your disease?"

Dolittle looked at him with a hint of admiration.

"Bingo! You people possess very advanced medical technology. An outsider brought me a kind of medicine; the level of technology contained in that medicine was thousands of years ahead of the current era! The medicine enabled brain transplantation! It enabled me to shed my previous damaged body like I was taking off a ragged shirt, and take a new body!"

"But your current body doesn't look that healthy either," said Sheyan with a frown.

Dolittle could only sigh to that.

"A brain transplant isn't as simple as chopping open another person's skull and then stuffing my brain inside. The key requirement is the resonance of brainwaves. Only a recipient body that resonates with my brainwaves can accept the transplant of my brain. The problem is, there are simply too few recipients that fit the requirement. This body, despite all its faults, is the best one I could find."
