After Transmigrating into a Novel with My Boyfriend, He Turned Out to Be a Native Villain-Chapter 78: She Needed to Find Some Help
It didn’t take long for the surface of the lake to calm once again, as if nothing had ever happened.
But in the treetops nearby, a striking figure dressed in red had appeared.
New novel 𝓬hapters are published on freёwebnoѵel.com.
The woman pulled off the red wedding veil on her head and lowered her gaze. Her eyes tilted up slightly at the corners, carrying a natural allure.
A few seconds later, she tightened her grip on the silk fabric in her hand, a soft laugh slipping from the corner of her lips.
“Not bad.”
They actually made her a ghost.
“Big sis, big sis, you put on makeup this time! You look so pretty!”
The system floated in midair, looking her up and down with surprise and delight. Then it added with a bit of pride, “Well? Isn’t this identity I picked for you perfect?”
“Very nice.” Yu Li reached out to pat its little head, her voice gentle. “This role really surprised me.”
She smoothed out the red veil. As if something had crossed her mind, her eyes curved slightly and her fingertips slowly traced over the embroidery.
“It just reminds me of someone I used to know.”
Seeing the system’s confused and innocent expression, she smiled and patted its head again. “But that was a long time ago. Not important. Now, give me the intel you’ve gathered.”
“Okay, big sis!” The little glowing orb flickered, then pulled up the NPC info and presented it to Yu Li.
At first, Yu Li thought—how much memory could a female ghost even have? But the moment the information came flooding in like a tidal wave, her hand clenched tight around the tree trunk, and her brows furrowed.
Something wasn’t right. These memories...
They didn’t come from one person.
They were made up of all kinds of scattered, fragmented memories and images.
As if countless people had merged together, bringing with them their pain and anguish.
The system chattered on beside her, “Big sis, this time you’re the ghost. I looked into it—your character setting is kill, kill, kill! Take out those players!”
“...”
Yu Li rubbed her temples and forced a smile. “Be good. Let me sort through this myself.”
“Okay then, I’m off. The plot won’t start for a bit, so feel free to look around in the meantime!”
With a cheerful chirp, the system’s voice faded, and it disappeared into thin air.
Yu Li sat alone in the treetop, slowly untangling the chaotic mess in her mind.
If this were just a regular ghost, why would it carry so many memories?
And every single one came from a woman.
Fear, panic, resentment...
So many emotions tangled up in one soul, all boiling down to a single thought—
Kill them.
It was like a constant whispering in her ear, someone always there urging her to kill, soft and insistent, clinging to her and refusing to let go.
Hearing that for too long could easily push someone over the edge.
Yu Li looked down at the red veil in her hand, her eyes narrowing.
She was starting to understand why Bo Jingmo always had episodes in the instances.
That constant whispering—it was like being surrounded by the source of your breakdown 24/7. No wonder he snapped.
The voices were seriously annoying.
This was the first time she had such a clear grasp of the plot, and while she already had a plan forming in her mind, these voices were definitely going to get in the way.
It was like being haunted by a group of ghosts, always reminding you what you were supposed to do.
“Kill them—”
“Kill them...”
“They all deserve to die... Don’t let any of them go...”
“This is what they owe us... Kill them—!”
“You have to kill them for us... This is your purpose...”
“Avenge us, avenge us...”
She frowned and pressed her fingers to her forehead, her voice icy. “If I hear one more word, I’ll scatter your souls right here and now.”
A bunch of things without even a physical form dared to tell her what to do?
As soon as the words left her mouth, the ghostly murmurs vanished. Silence returned.
Yu Li lowered her hand and squinted toward the distant mountain village, recalling what those voices had said.
Kill them...
The “them” here... was a lot of people.
Yu Li pulled back her gaze and slowly placed the red veil back over her head, the corner of her mouth curling up.
She needed to find a partner.
The bus jolted along a bumpy dirt road, waking everyone inside.
Groggy and confused, they snapped fully awake when they saw the scenery outside.
Wasn’t this supposed to be a company retreat? Why the h*ll were they driving into the mountains?!
One woman raised her hand with a frown. “Boss, this the ‘nice place’ you were talking about?”
The man at the front turned around. His chubby face gave him an honest, harmless look.
He chuckled awkwardly and waved his hand. “C’mon, don’t be like that. You’ve heard of Peach Blossom Spring, right? That whole ‘walk a few more steps and it all opens up’ thing? We’ve barely taken one step! Just wait—you’ll see.”
The woman rolled her eyes and looked annoyed.
She had been ready to enjoy a five-star hotel experience, and now they were out here in the middle of nowhere?!
Her eyes wandered around the bus cabin until they landed on Bo Jingmo sitting in the back. She froze.
Pulling out a mirror to check her makeup and making sure it hadn’t smudged, she grabbed a bottle of water and headed toward him.
She was just about to sit down, but when she saw a black bag on the seat next to him, she hesitated and took the seat one over.
“Brother Bo, want some water?”
She reached out, her voice deliberately soft and sweet—so sugary it gave people goosebumps.
【#That voice just shattered my eardrums.】
【Good lord, good lord.】
【"Brother Bo~~ want some water~~"】
【I’m dead. Someone above better not send a voice clip.】
【Wait a sec, hold up?! Look at the guy next to her... is that Bo Jingmo??】
【Holy sh*t, it IS him! Whoa whoa whoa, and this time—he’s NOT a ghost!】
【Where’s Jiang Xi and Hou Liang? He’s soloing this one?!】
Some of the viewers who hadn’t seen Bo Jingmo before were a little confused.
What’s the deal with this new player? He didn’t seem to be ranked on any of the top newcomer boards.
【Who are y’all talking about? Is Bo Jingmo that super handsome guy? Why are you so hyped?】
【Never heard of this Bo Jingmo on the Newcomer Spotlight list, but I’ve seen that Hou Liang and Jiang Xi you mentioned.】
Seeing the chat, a few veteran viewers who had followed previous instances jumped in eagerly:
【Go watch the latest “Haunted Villa” episode. That old instance just had a huge plot development. Bo Jingmo totally stood out.】
【I saw him in the last instance. This guy’s skills are nuts—when he dies, he literally turns into a ghost in the instance.】
【Veteran fan here—he used to show up in the game as a ghost right from the start. Never really saw him as a regular human. Can’t believe he’s human this time!】
【Holy sh*t, I’m hyped!!】
【A self-aware Bo Jingmo is just… siiiigh—he’s that cold, abstinent type of hottie. I’m seriously in love.】
【We always knew he was good-looking, but who knew that when he’s not acting crazy, just sitting there, he’s the ultimate “out of your league” flower on a cliff?】
【Didn’t you see that NPC next to him about to cry tears from her mouth? LMAO!】
【Who still remembers that sleazy look he had in “Haunted Villa” by Daming Lake? Compared to now—my god, the contrast is real.】
【I do! I still have the screenshots! But I don’t dare post them… sob sob, that was my white moonlight CP. I tear up every time I see them.】
【Just gonna whisper this… I also screenshotted the scene at the end of the last instance where he hugged Qing Li…】
【Girl above, POST IT. I need it!!】
Bo Jingmo heard the voice next to him and turned to see a water bottle being handed his way.
He glanced at it, then coolly looked away and replied in a cold tone, “No, thanks.”
Du Yanhan didn’t take it to heart. She retracted the bottle with a gentle smile and kept her voice sweet: “Bo-ge, you hardly ever come to our gatherings. I was really surprised to see you this time.”
Bo Jingmo didn’t respond, still staring out the window.
That aloof side profile only made Du Yanhan’s heart flutter even more. The subtle pine scent coming from him, mixed with the strong masculine energy, made her cheeks flush.
Bo Jingmo was the youngest programmer in their company—handsome, rich, and ridiculously capable. He was completely different from the others.
The only downside? He was cold. So cold it was nearly impossible to find an opening to approach him.
But she wasn’t about to let this team-building trip go to waste.
With that thought, a glint flickered in her eyes.
She suddenly stood up and leaned closer, slowly moving her body and head toward him. Her voice dropped even lower, coated in an intentionally sweet, cloying tone:
“Bo-ge, what are you looking at? Is there something out there...?”
Just as her body was about to brush against his leg, the man’s cold voice cut in:
“If you get any closer, I won’t be able to stop myself from kicking you.”
