Pretending To Be A Boss-Chapter 514 - 99: Prometheus and Constantine_3
The perimeter guards will most likely encircle the Evolution Zone in a short while.
The scene of the dragon breaking through the fourth ceiling began to spread around the world quickly.
Even though it's not even six o'clock in the morning yet, the whole world is still in a phase of slumber.
And Lincoln Fortress has raised the highest level of alert. Various heavy weaponry is being transported.
Whether it's the CIA or the FBI, they've all entered a heightened state of alert, regardless of internal corruption. An external invasion is an unprecedented major event for the whole Lincoln Fortress, and even the entire Human World.
Under such circumstances, Akasi actually found a place to sit down, looking calm, "I will seriously listen to what you have to say, and then respond seriously."
Tang Xian was equally calm. After all, this wasn't a complicated story, and he had thought of a way to leave this place.
"This story starts with my triple-layered memory."
"Triple-layered memory?"
"Yes, the first layer is the memory of being Tang Xian, which occupies the longest period of time.
The memories from when I began to remember things to now, everything I've experienced, the paths I've walked, the people I've met, the bonds I've formed, they all belong to Tang Xian."
Akasi rarely saw someone describe themselves in the tone of a stranger.
That was the feeling Tang Xian gave him.
"This layer has a huge impact on me because I've met many people. As my mother said, someone like me is loved.
Yan Xiaoling, Li Xiaoyu, my parents... Maybe in the future, I'll even have a sister?"

"Yu?"
"Right, there's also Yu."
Tang Xian smiled.
He realized that over the years, he really had met a lot of people.
But such a smile quickly faded, and his expression started to become solemn.
"I always thought I was just Tang Xian, even though there were many incomprehensible things about me. But now... I'm starting to not be so sure.
My second identity is that of an experimental subject similar to those in the Evolution Zone.
However, I'm ranked a bit higher than an experimental subject, considered to serve... a presence that we must oppose.
They are powerful mechanical life forms, and from the information I've understood so far, that's indeed the case.
But even I, who was closest to the core, as well as the six experimental subjects who existed with me at the time, are not clear about more specific intelligence.
We were called Angel Envoys, living in a fortress currently unknown to humans.
I now know the location of that place, but I'm not yet ready to go there."
Akasi was still confused, but he didn't interrupt Tang Xian, just listening seriously.
"In that place, I was the one bullied by the other six people because I lacked abilities. My code name was Prometheus, but nobody called me by that code name; they referred to me as Number Seven. I was the weakest person there, and the strongest one, whose true abilities are still unknown to this day, is Constantine."
Akasi was slightly moved, marveling at the coincidence brought by fate.
Only now did he understand that the useless Number Seven mentioned by Xi He was none other than Tang Xian.
"Our existence was to understand this world and to dominate it.
But ever since I was young, I've always longed to escape from there. By some fluke, my parents... actually my foster parents, took me away from that place and erased my memories."
Akasi was starting to understand and tentatively said,
"But today, for some reason, your memories have been restored?"
Tang Xian nodded:
"Yes."
"But... what does that have to do with anything? You mean to say, you used to belong to some evil organization and had such a past, right? But the person you are now is still you," Akasi said.
The look on Tang Xian's face was complex.
Just before shredding Xi, he thought the same thing.
The memory from inside the Seat of God Fortress only inspired hatred for the Orderers.
This did not affect his worldview.
When his father's questioning echoed in his memory, and when his mother countered with a decisive "then just love him," even Tang Xian, who seldom felt touched, felt a slight tingling in his nose.
He was silent for several seconds before slowly saying,
"But all of this... is just a mistake after hiding the third layer of memory."
"A mistake?"
"Because from the beginning, I was not Number Seven. The second layer itself was built on a lie."
Akasi's expression changed, and he suddenly remembered the first sentence after answering Constantine's call, where that Constantine had claimed to be Number Seven.
This thought left Akasi momentarily bewildered.
At this moment, Tang Xian confirmed his suspicion:
"I'm not Prometheus, I'm Constantine."
