Pretending To Be A Boss-Chapter 492 - 91: Two Catfish (Part 2)
```
Where was the composure of knowing everything by heart gone?
He had never seen Tang Xian like this.

The fifth level, the evolutionary zone, the super S-class experimental area.
In the Hundred Beasts Hidden Qilin Domain by Xi He, Akasi, Tangsuoye's elements turned into those of a common weakling, no different from an ordinary person.
The mud creature attacked Tang Suoye quickly, and in his desperation, Akasi displayed a speed that surpassed its limits.
The speed Akasi gained from Lei Xiao's serum should have been suppressed to the lowest point, but at the crucial moment of life and death for Tang Suoye, there was a slight breakthrough in Akasi's speed,
At that instant, Akasi was certain that Xi He's ability was a kind of suppression of the power of all beasts, rather than an absolute annihilation.
As if sensing the precise improvement in Akasi's speed, Xi He slightly raised an eyebrow.
Akasi, with his somewhat increased speed, was actually still very slow, not even able to compare with the mud creature.

However, Akasi barely managed to hinder the mud creature's movements.
The mud creature's strength seemed to be equally specialized.
Its regeneration and flexibility were nearly at the limit of what one could imagine, but its attacking power didn't make an ordinary person feel despair.
For Akasi, he wouldn't be killed easily in a short time, and for a while, he could actually trade blows with the mud creature.
His speed was also increasing bit by bit; this increase was subtle, yet undeniable.
Originally, Xi He was only curious about the so-called evolution, but seeing the significant progress of Akasi, he suddenly realized that this test might have the potential to succeed.
Because Xi He was certain that his suppression had not weakened, in other words – Akasi was becoming stronger.
"You should be able to go a bit faster, shouldn't you? It seems that number nineteen's life and death is what you care about the most," Xi He said.
After these words, Akasi thought Xi He would attack Tang Suoye so he instantly turned back to look.
But Xi He didn't move, and the mud creature also temporarily halted its attack, as if receiving some kind of command.
Xi He said with a light laugh:
"But Akasi, after so many years, how come you are still that same catfish?"
This was a seemingly light-hearted remark, but uttered during a life-and-death struggle, it seemed somewhat odd.
Yet, this sentence pegged the dashing Akasi firmly like a giant nail.
Akasi stood still, his fingers trembling slightly, his expression incredulous as he looked at Xi He.
"This is what I envy about you, Akasi, you really are a lucky person, there always seems to be someone to save you."
Xi He's smile was faint, his gaze somewhat vacant.
"You... why would you..." Akasi's gaze
Yuanwu and Tang Suoye both froze, not understanding what had happened to Akasi, who suddenly looked crestfallen.
Xi He's tone was always so matter-of-fact, as if he was born to know certain things.
He gently approached Akasi, saying:
"You still remember what that person looked like, right? Perhaps you've forgotten, but I have been paying close attention to you. I started observing experimental subjects like you when I was very young."
Akasi didn't speak, suddenly becoming frantic.
If the mud creature attacked now, Yuanwu even suspected Akasi might not notice it.
Tang Suoye wanted to call out to Akasi, but she couldn't even utter human language.
Xi He's voice resounded again.
"She was stronger than you, more excellent than you, and could endure more tyrannical serums than you could, yet in the end, she was not among the experimental subjects who survived."
Akasi swayed and took a step back as if his puppet strings had been cut.
"I can help you remember all of this. But looking at your expression, you must remember, right? If she were still alive, would she be disappointed in you?"
Xi He gently patted Akasi's shoulder, like a mourning old friend:
"History does not repeat itself, but it always witnesses stupid catfish making the same mistakes."
Xi He looked towards Tang Suoye nearby and said:
"After you relied on each other for survival, did he ever tell you about his past?"
"Shut up!"
"Can't do it, the words are already on my lips, I have to finish. You like number nineteen, right? After all, you didn't hesitate to fight with the experiment subjects from the branch for her. But since you like her, why not be honest about your lucky past?
You were only second, remember? Earlier, there was an S-class experimental subject in the branch, she was powerful, always winning the cage fights with ease.
But you weren't experimental subjects in the same cage. That's lucky, isn't it? Or perhaps you should thank the previous me."
Xi He's tone was calm, as if discussing an amusing affair, rather than dueling with three intruders.
But Akasi's reaction was becoming more and more troubling.
Of course, Xi He didn't expect a memory fragment alone could disturb Akasi.
He didn't have much emotion, but his understanding of humans was far from lacking.
In distress, Akasi's expression revealed pain and struggle.
And Xi He amplified this pain to the extreme.
His figure was incredibly fast, arriving beside Tang Suoye in an instant, then lightly touched her scapula.
Those adept in telekinesis were far too fragile without their powers.
