Dr. smiled sadly. Jimenez, and at that moment, it was as if Nico had once again met the kind and gentle senior consultant of the company. The Heartless Killer sighed, "I was having second thoughts whether you'd survive that attack or not. So I gave Neilson that letter ... If you die, you are not worthy to unravel my identity and make it this far. But if you survive, you'll be able to find that note and solve the riddle --- leading you to the truth --- before I kill you. At the very least, you'll know my identity before you die.
