After Transmigrating into a Novel with My Boyfriend, He Turned Out to Be a Native Villain-Chapter 135: For Example… Teaming Up with an NPC to Go Against Us?

Mu Chengsi had played so many instances, and to have made it to the rank of intermediate player, she clearly wasn’t just some pushover.

Her words sounded playful on the surface, but they were laced with suspicion. “Bo Jingmo, you’re looking real sketchy right now. Don’t tell me you’re planning to stab us in the back later? Like… team up with Lina to take us down?”

Wu Bei, standing to the side, also looked over. He didn’t speak, but his silence was clearly tinged with doubt.

Honestly, he hadn’t considered that possibility at all before, but now that Mu Chengsi brought it up… it didn’t sound entirely impossible.

Now, all four of them had their eyes on Bo Jingmo.

But the man only chuckled softly at their words. “What, you guys think I’m working with the NPCs? But the character setting I got was ‘Shen Youyou’s boyfriend.’ If I were in the same team as Lina, wouldn’t that just be asking for trouble?”

That might be true, but would the BOSS really just let the players off the hook that easily?

Mu Chengsi raised an eyebrow. “Is that so? That does sound kind of logical, but what if… your identity suddenly changed?”

The moment she said that, everyone froze.

Even Wu Bei looked stunned. “That kind of thing… can it even happen?”

After all, “boyfriend” was a role assigned to Bo Jingmo by the system—how could it just change so easily?

Mu Chengsi didn’t respond. She just glanced over at Yi Xian.

Yi Xian had been in the last instance with Bo Jingmo, and back then, he randomly ended up with a “boyfriend” title out of nowhere. So it wasn’t entirely impossible for a new identity to pop up in this one, too.

Plus, Sister Yu Jiao had also mentioned that Bo Jingmo’s playstyle didn’t technically break the rules—as long as the system didn’t flag it as abnormal, it was fine.

Being in a room alone with the BOSS and having nothing happen? Yeah, that was way too suspicious.

Bo Jingmo rubbed the gemstone in his hand, let out a low laugh, his deep voice carrying a distinctive resonance in the room. “I did get a clue—but I just haven’t had the chance to share it yet.”

Li Li was right. These players were bound to get suspicious of them.

Leaning back casually against the chair, the man’s long, narrow eyes were full of indifference. “Lina told me some stuff about Shen Youyou, but it’s completely different from what you all have learned. So I’m wondering if I should tell you or not.”

He looked over at Mu Chengsi, a flicker in his gaze. “As for the identity switch, I’m really curious why that even came to your mind. The storyline hasn’t even officially started yet. The NPC roles haven’t even been locked in. Yet you’re already so convinced my identity will change. Could it be… that yours already has?”

Mu Chengsi’s movements halted, and her brows drew together in a frown.

She’d jumped the gun.

All she could do was smile, her tone soft. “Sorry, I misunderstood you. It’s just that I’ve run into this kind of plot before, and it ended up hurting everyone. So now I instinctively get suspicious. I forgot this is still a low-tier instance.”

At those words, Bo Jingmo lowered his eyes, gently tapping the gemstone with his fingertips. He didn’t say a word, looking completely unconcerned.

But in his eyes, a storm was brewing. The pitch-black pupils were starting to tint red, and his tightly suppressed emotions were itching to burst free.

This Mu Chengsi—she was really annoying.

She seemed to know something.

【Is this just the heightened awareness of an intermediate player? But it was mentioned earlier that NPCs don’t necessarily act so fast. Isn’t she being way too quick to accuse?】

【Then again, with how many instances Mu Chengsi’s been through, her guessing an identity shift is… not exactly unreasonable?】

【Hard to say. I rarely see players casually switch roles—it’s too risky. One wrong move and the whole character setting falls apart.】

【She’s really sharp though. Bo Jingmo’s identity always comes with surprises. She immediately honed in on that. I almost thought she’d seen his previous instances too.】

Watching the barrage of livestream comments pop up, Yu Li arched an eyebrow and chuckled.

The system by her side sighed in relief. “Good thing you gave that storyline clue to Bo Jingmo, or he’d have been exposed.”

“Giving clues is just part of my job.” freewёbnoνel.com

Yu Li smiled. “That part of the story was perfectly normal. But because Mu Chengsi is so focused on Bo Jingmo, she started making guesses.”

During the clue-hunting phase, NPCs are supposed to feed players information, and each player gets a different clue.

For instance, Jiang Xi and Wu Bei got Shen Youyou’s diary and figured out that Lina was the killer.

Mu Chengsi and Yi Xian saw the wreckage in the room and pieced together Lina’s true identity from other clues.

As for Bo Jingmo, he would learn a more disgraceful side of Shen Youyou straight from “Lina’s” mouth.

Even if the player who came today hadn’t been Bo Jingmo, someone else would have gotten that same clue.

This instance wasn’t meant to have such a simple answer.

The relationship between Lina and Shen Youyou was way more complicated than they thought.

But the reason Yu Li picked Bo Jingmo specifically wasn’t just to take a playful bite out of her little boyfriend—it was also to lure out what Mu Chengsi was really after.

And she wasn’t disappointed.

Mu Chengsi had almost immediately guessed there was something wrong with Bo Jingmo’s identity.

If she were thinking like a normal player, her first question should’ve been what clue Bo Jingmo received—especially since in a low-tier instance, it’s rare for NPCs to make moves so quickly.

But instead, Mu Chengsi was already assuming Bo Jingmo had teamed up with an NPC.

Yu Li’s lips curled into a smile, her voice firm. “She knows about Bo Jingmo’s previous instances.”

Not just that she’d seen them—but that she knew them. And it was very likely Yi Xian told her.

…Or maybe, Yi Xian told deva.

Which would explain why deva had been interested in Bo Jingmo this whole time.

That thought brought a glimmer of interest to Yu Li’s eyes.

If deva admired Bo Jingmo’s abilities, then why not just recruit him like peace did? Why instead have Mu Chengsi observe him—

Or even secretly watch how Bo Jingmo performed in instances?

“Jiejie, what are you thinking about?” the little system asked curiously, noticing Yu Li’s amused expression.

“I’m thinking…”

Yu Li stepped forward, her face wearing a smile laced with anticipation.

“If we pulled Mu Chengsi into the vampire faction, it’d definitely be interesting.”

Since Mu Chengsi kept suspecting Bo Jingmo had a shady identity—

Then let her experience it for herself—

What a real identity shift truly felt like.
