After Transmigrating into a Novel with My Boyfriend, He Turned Out to Be a Native Villain

Hearing the man's words, Shen Youyou seemed to realize something. The color drained from her face instantly, and she retreated in panic, but the wall was right behind her — there was no way to escape.

Watching the knife tip getting closer and closer, she screamed and reached out to push: "No—!!"

A flash of red crossed Bo Jingmo's eyes. Shen Youyou’s movements froze in an instant. Her pupils trembled uncontrollably, but her body couldn’t move at all.

"Pu———"

The sound of the blade piercing skin rang through the air, and the pain was stretched and magnified endlessly at that moment. Time suddenly felt unbearably long, as if insects were boring slowly into the depths of her Heart. The searing pain made every second pure torture, her Soul seemingly torn in half, her Nerves screaming with sharp, desperate bursts.

So hot... so painful—!!

Shen Youyou wanted to scream, but it felt like something was blocking her throat — not a sound could escape.

Huge tears streamed down from the corners of her eyes.

The man's smile before her now looked even more terrifying and chilling.

But the man just let out a low chuckle, then ruthlessly drove the knife deeper.

Shen Youyou’s breathing seized.

Her body regained control, but what followed was endless pain.

She collapsed to the floor, wailing in agony: "Aaaaahhhhhh—!"

Blood gushed out from her chest in torrents, flooding the ground.

Her skin became dry and cracked, like ancient, withered bark.

Shen Youyou curled up on the floor.

Her once-beautiful face was now unrecognizable.

Her mouth gaped open, exposing terrifyingly grotesque fangs.

Bo Jingmo didn’t even look at her.

He focused on the blood gathering at the blade’s tip, a red gleam flashing in his eyes.

He took out the Ruby Yu Li had previously given him and let the blood drip into it.

In an instant, the Ruby became even more dazzling, blindingly bright in the dim hallway.

The thick blood on the floor slowly spread, creeping toward his shoes.

Seeing this, the man took a step back.

He stared at the gemstone in his hand, his expression unreadable.

"Bo Jingmo..."

Jiang Xi’s tentative voice came from beside him.

He lifted his gaze.

The blood-red look in his eyes made the other three tremble.

They all instinctively looked away, not daring to meet Bo Jingmo’s eyes.

Lina and Shen Youyou were both dead.

Would one of them be next?

Jiang Xi’s eyes fell on the gemstone in the man’s hand, uncertain what to think.

The mission wasn't over yet.

Was it because of this half of a Heart?

How would Bo Jingmo deal with the Heart?

Would he return it to Lina or... keep it for himself?

If it was the latter, wouldn’t they have to kill Bo Jingmo for the mission to truly be complete?

The thought made Jiang Xi feel terrible.

But before she could figure out a plan, she heard a crisp crack — the sound of something shattering in the air.

Jiang Xi froze and looked up.

Bo Jingmo’s hand was empty — the Ruby... he crushed it?!

It wasn’t just Jiang Xi. Wu Bei and Mu Chengsi were both stunned too.

After crushing the Ruby, Bo Jingmo looked up at them.

His calm gaze was like still water, without a single ripple.

He slowly opened his mouth:

"Now, does this mean the mission is complete?"

【Congratulations, players — mission completed: Uncover the manor’s hidden secret and survive successfully.】

Jiang Xi blinked.

...Mission completed?

But Bo Jingmo was still alive!

In the past, they had always needed to kill him for it to count.

Jiang Xi's expression stiffened sharply.

Since the System said they survived successfully, it meant Bo Jingmo was no threat to them.

So... he still had his own consciousness?!

Realizing this, she quickly looked up at him, "Bo Jingmo! You still remember us, right?!"

The man paused, then turned to face them.

"I’ve never lost any memory."

"...What do you mean?"

But Bo Jingmo didn’t answer.

Instead, he walked toward the sleeping NPC not far away.

He crouched down and quietly gazed at the woman’s face.

There was no warmth in his red eyes — only coldness, back to how it had been at the beginning.

Li Li had gone back.

Thinking of this, he picked up the jacket and stood up.

When he lifted his head again, Bo Jingmo’s blood-red pupils had turned back to normal pitch-black.

He walked over to Jiang Xi and calmly repeated:

"The Vampire’s control had no effect on me. I was only pretending to be enchanted."

Seeing Jiang Xi’s shocked expression, he lowered his eyes, his tone flat:

"This way, it was easier to complete the mission, wasn’t it?"

First, he exploited the Vampire’s confidence that they had bewitched him.

Then, by pretending to be enchanted, he fooled the audience and Shen Youyou —

thus justifiably killing Shen Youyou, without collapsing his Persona.

What a performance.

Bo Jingmo had fooled everyone.

Players, NPCs, the Audience —

not one realized he was only acting all along.

Jiang Xi was speechless.

The emotions in her eyes were full of disbelief and shock, as if she was seeing the man in front of her for the first time.

Bo Jingmo had... figured it out?

Since when was he this good at playing along?

Suddenly, Jiang Xi remembered the time they teamed up before —

she had played the role of his wife.

But barely a moment into the act, he had strongly resisted the closeness and ran off to kill himself, becoming the Instance’s BOSS instead.

He’d rather die than cooperate back then.

But now, he could even accept being with an NPC...

Her gaze drifted to the woman lying not far away.

Jiang Xi’s face changed drastically.

Wait a minute!

What if that NPC looked just like that junior schoolmate?

Could it be that Bo Jingmo...

acted differently after seeing her face?

A shiver ran down her spine.

Her mind became a chaotic mess full of absurd yet oddly reasonable thoughts,

completely missing how Mu Chengsi, standing beside her, stiffened visibly at their conversation.

Mu Chengsi said nothing, but her hand in her pocket slowly clenched.

At this moment, she was drowning in deep self-doubt.

No, this wasn’t right.

According to deva’s data, Bo Jingmo should have lost his self-awareness.

After enduring so much stimulation, he was still able to maintain his consciousness?!

How was that possible?!

Or... had his strength increased?

Setting that aside, if Bo Jingmo was truly conscious,

then he had voluntarily cooperated with that NPC??!

That’s f***ing insane!

Bro, that NPC looks exactly like your girlfriend!!

Thinking of this, Mu Chengsi's gaze toward Bo Jingmo carried shock... and a touch of disdain.

Did Yu Li know her boyfriend was like this inside the Instance?

Wouldn't this count as cheating?
