After Transmigrating into a Novel with My Boyfriend, He Turned Out to Be a Native Villain-Chapter 134: Bo Jingmo, Did You Give Her...

Over here, the group immediately gathered in the room for a discussion.

Mu Chengsi sat opposite Bo Jingmo, her gaze swept across the man but didn’t find anything unusual, a trace of suspicion flickering in her eyes.

“Bo Jingmo, you went into the NPC’s room. Did she make things difficult for you?” After thinking it over, she changed to a more tactful way of asking.

At her words, the silent man lifted his eyes and glanced at her: “No. She just felt a bit dizzy, so I helped her to the bed to rest.”

Wu Bei, next to him, chuckled and said, “How’d you stall for time? Not bad.”

“Talking.”

Bo Jingmo toyed with the red gemstone in his hand, his tone flat, “Asked a few things about Shen Youyou. Maybe because she was sick, her guard was down, so she told me.”

Only then did Mu Chengsi notice the red gem in his hand, her expression slightly surprised: “Where’d you get that?”

The red gemstone shimmered with a brilliant luster between the man’s slender fingers, making his fair skin appear even more radiant.

Seeing everyone’s gaze fixed on his hand, Bo Jingmo slightly furrowed his brows and calmly closed his hand around the gemstone, avoiding their eyes, his voice tinged with emotion: “She gave it to me as a reward.”

In reality, it was a make-up gift from his little girlfriend.

The group: “……”

What the h*ll? She gave a ruby just for helping her upstairs??

【…Bo Jingmo, be honest. Did you do it?】

【Helping someone up gets you a gemstone? I don’t buy it—unless I get to try helping too.】

【I suspect there's a hidden secret between them. Camera guy, what do you think? (Heavily implying)】

【…Could it be a gift from the mother-in-law to the son-in-law?】

【Stop joking upstairs. I’d rather believe it’s hush money.】

【So Bo Jingmo is still human? He doesn’t look like he’s turned into a vampire at all.】

【Feels normal, but also kind of off… Should we have Bo Jingmo show us his shoulder, hehe…】

【Maybe because the plot hasn’t started yet? This is a low-tier instance, early NPCs won’t attack players or reveal themselves.】

【Then again, who knows. She already bewitched Bo Jingmo early on. Maybe she made a move, but the players don’t know it.】

【That’s a good point. So Bo Jingmo doesn’t know Lina is a vampire. If he did, the secret of this instance would already be out.】

Seeing no more could be asked, Mu Chengsi didn’t press further. If she kept pushing, it would feel forced.

She turned to Jiang Xi: “Did you find Shen Youyou’s room?”

Jiang Xi nodded. She pulled out a notebook from her backpack, “We found it. Shen Youyou really wasn’t there, but Wu Bei and I found her notebook.”

Wu Bei added from the side: “Also, we found a bunch of… props under her bed.”

“Props?”

“Yeah, all kinds. Like crosses, peachwood swords, and the classic yellow talismans. This house seems to be hiding something. She’s been trying to drive it away, but couldn’t.”

Bo Jingmo, nearby, lifted his eyes lazily when he heard that, “There’s a ghost in the house?”

Wu Bei said thoughtfully, “We’re not sure yet, but according to the instance plot, that seems to be the direction. We might need to read the diary first to figure it out.”

Jiang Xi placed the notebook in the center, then opened it for everyone to see.

[xx month xx day, sunny. Today, Dad brought home a pretty lady. He said she’s going to be my new mom. But it’s so weird… she’s so young! She’s going to be my mom?!]

After that, the diary entries recorded Shen Youyou’s thoughts about her stepmother.

[Aunt Lina, that’s what she said I could call her since I’m not used to calling her mom yet… This stepmother… actually seems kind of nice.]

[Aunt Lina is really pretty. People say she’s only with Dad for his money, but if Dad really likes her, I guess it’s okay…]

[Aunt Lina doesn’t like going out. When she does, she always carries an umbrella and wears a hat. She says she’s allergic to UV light. I guess that makes sense. Her skin is so pale… I think the sun might really hurt her.]

[There seem to be fewer people at home… weird. Also, Aunt Lina drinks some kind of red tonic every day, and she never eats meals. Is that her secret to staying beautiful?]

[Dad’s health is getting worse and worse. I’m really worried. Aunt Lina says it’s fine, she’ll take good care of him.]

This chapt𝓮r is updat𝒆d by ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom.

From this point on, the entries changed completely.

[The maids in the house keep disappearing mysteriously. What’s going on? Something’s wrong here.]

[Something’s not right. Not right at all. Everyone’s becoming so strange… I’m starting to not recognize them.]

[Today, Steward Wang and Aunt Mary both changed. Their eyes looked so unfamiliar… I don’t recognize them anymore!]

[There’s something dirty in the house. I heard it—I heard it. There were noises outside at night. What kind of noises?]

[…Is it a ghost? A ghost haunting our home??! I have to get rid of it!!]

[The things I bought are useless. Dmn it, dmn it! Dad’s getting worse, and the servants are acting even weirder. It feels like I’m the only one who notices. Aunt Lina says she doesn’t feel anything.]

[Am I really the problem? But that doesn’t make sense! Aunt Huang said she felt it too! Now that she’s about to leave, I don’t even know who to talk to. I’m so sad.]

[The maids have been replaced again. Sigh… but whatever! I got a boyfriend today ahhhh!! So happy!]

Seeing this line, all the players instinctively glanced at Bo Jingmo.

His expression didn’t change. He even—rarely—reached out and helped them turn the page.

“………”

They kept reading. But as they went on, their brows furrowed tighter.

[Finally came home for once… but the house has completely changed. Even Dad’s eyes feel unfamiliar… Everyone’s like they’re wearing masks.]

[That sound started again… Tonight, I’m definitely going to check out what it is!! I swear!]

The next entry didn’t appear until several days later. And the first sentence made everyone’s faces darken.

[Someone died at home.]

[I saw it. So many people… dead. So that’s where the sounds were coming from…]

[Terrifying, terrifying, terrifying… Everyone in this house is a murderer. They’re all murderers…]

[I found the killer… It’s Aunt Lina!! It was all her fault!!]

[I have to destroy her. I must, no matter what kind of monster she is—I have to destroy her!!]

The diary abruptly ended here. The following pages were blank, but it was obvious several had been torn out.

Mu Chengsi stared at that last line, her eyes growing darker: “According to the diary, the murderer is… Lina.”

The very same “Madam” they had been referring to all along.

Jiang Xi adjusted her glasses. “Shen Youyou always thought there was something wrong with the house. But in truth, it was the people.”

Mu Chengsi nodded in agreement, but her gaze slowly drifted back to Bo Jingmo.

She suddenly let out a thoughtful sound, narrowing her eyes, voice puzzled yet carrying a faint edge of danger:

“Speaking of which… Bo Jingmo, you spent all that time with a dangerous boss. And you didn’t notice anything strange?”
