East Continent?
Claire replied calmly. “No, I grew up in the West Continent. Why did you ask me this?”
Mia smiled and circled twice around Claire. Then as if finding something interesting, she said with a sneer, “Your life is connected to another person’s, and your hearts are beating together.”
Claire didn’t understand what she was talking about.
“What do you mean?” Claire narrowed her keen eyes expressionlessly, but her hand hanging to one side was tightly clutching the knife.
Mia smiled but didn’t speak. Then she suddenly turned around, walked into the alley, and soon disappeared.
Claire hurried to Gallon’s apartment.
Gallon opened the door. “What happened? Why do you look worried?”
Claire entered the place, slammed the door shut, and pulled apart her collar.
Startled, Gallon hurriedly looked away. “No, no… I know I’m handsome and gentle, and any woman will fall for me, but I only treat you as a friend. If you have a thing for me, you can tell me but you don’t have to do this…”
Claire turned his head over and pointed at her bare chest. “Look.”
Gallon took a closer look, and his face suddenly changed. He pressed Claire against the wall with a jerk, firmly clasping her shoulder blade with his hand.
“How did you get this?!”
Claire asked him coldly. “Do you know what this is?”
Gallon grabbed his hair agitatedly as if he had seen something horrible. “Oh, my god… it’s over… How did you…”
Claire frowned. “Gallon, speak clearly.”
Gallon took two steps backward and slumped on to a chair as if he was suddenly drained of energy. “Someone put a Death-Sharing Bewitching Bug in your body.”
Death-Sharing Bewitching Bug?
“What is that?” Claire frowned.
This was the first time she had heard of it.
Gallon raised his head and looked straight into her eyes. “Menglai Clan is good at raising and manipulating bewitching bugs, with which they can save or kill people, and even… control people’s minds. Do you know the Dark Emperor?”
Claire nodded. “Yes, I’ve heard of this name.”
This was a well-known household name in the four continents.
Gallon slowly said, “Four continents and twelve kingdoms had been coexisting peacefully since ancient times until six years ago when the Dark Emperor appeared. He always wore a mask, and no one knew his name, appearance, or where he came from.
As soon as he appeared, he launched a war and took the three countries on the East Continent as his own, causing a catastrophe that had never been seen before. ”
Claire had heard of these things.
However, the war took place in the East Continent and didn’t impact the West Continent.
Gallon gulped in a mouthful of water and continued. “At that time, the Menglai Clan assisted the Dark Emperor. He had a frightening army named He Sa, with a total of 100 members. He imprisoned the lovers of these 100 soldiers and put Death-Sharing Bewitching Bugs into their bodies.”
Death-Sharing Bewitching Bug, as the name suggested, was actually a pair of bugs, a male and a female. They hid in the bodies of two people respectively, fusing into the heart and absorbing nutrients from the body to survive. When any of the two people died for whatever reason, the other’s heart would stop beating at the same time. This was why it was called ‘Death-Sharing’.
“In order to protect their beloved ones’ lives, those soldiers fought extremely bravely on the battlefield. Their lives were connected to their loved ones, so they dared not, and could not die! Therefore, they were invincible on the battlefield…”
What a ruthless method.
“The war lasted for four full years until two years ago, when the Dark Emperor was defeated and then disappeared. The Menglai Clan also gradually faded out of the public’s sight.”
Claire rubbed the bulged mark on the area around her heart with her fingertip.
So a bewitching bug was hiding here.
Her life was connected to another person.
The two hearts were beating at the same time.
Now she finally understood what Mia meant.
