After Transmigrating into a Novel with My Boyfriend, He Turned Out to Be a Native Villain-Chapter 136: Lina Is a Vampire??
"Bo Jingmo, you just said Lina told you something about Shen Youyou. What was it?"
Seeing that Mu Chengsi had taken the initiative to apologize, Bo Jingmo didn’t press the issue either. Wu Bei quickly asked, knowing that the most important thing now was to piece together all the information.
Bo Jingmo’s gaze fell on the notebook on the table, his tone steady: “From the notebook’s perspective, Lina is the culprit. But Lina told me it’s Shen Youyou who’s acting strange.”
Those words left everyone momentarily stunned. “Shen Youyou is acting strange?”
But wasn’t their mission this time supposed to be about Shen Youyou?
Wasn’t the ultimate task to save Shen Youyou?
The system never explained what players were actually supposed to do—hidden missions had to be discovered on their own.
“Lina said Shen Youyou often stays in her room alone and refuses to come out. She also hates physical contact.”
“And not just that…” Bo Jingmo paused, his tone growing more serious. “She said Shen Youyou would secretly follow her around. Sometimes when they locked eyes, she’d realize Shen Youyou had been staring at her the whole time, tracking her every move. She never sleeps at night, always going out alone.”
Everything he said painted Shen Youyou as completely off. It was nothing like what the diary had described.
If that were true, then the one acting abnormal… was actually Shen Youyou?
Jiang Xi lowered her head in thought and didn’t speak. After a moment, she looked up at Yi Xian and Mu Chengsi. “So, what did you two find?”
Caught off guard by the question, Yi Xian froze for a second. Thinking back to what she’d seen earlier, her face turned a shade paler and her lips parted slightly. “A leopard. Blood. And… body parts.”
Hearing that, Jiang Xi and Wu Bei’s brows immediately furrowed. “Body parts? You saw someone get killed?”
“No, it was someone already dead.”
Mu Chengsi added from the side. She took a deep breath and slowly exhaled. “They’re feeding people to the beasts.”
And this horrific act was happening right inside that house.
Mu Chengsi suddenly thought of something and quickly flipped through the notebook, pointing to a specific page with her finger. “Shen Youyou mentioned hearing noises in the middle of the night in her diary. Maybe this is what she heard—maybe she walked in on it.”
If that’s the case, then Lina couldn’t be cleared of suspicion.
But just then, Bo Jingmo spoke calmly: “Lina also said Shen Youyou would sneak out at night.”
Mu Chengsi’s hand froze mid-action. She narrowed her eyes at him.
“…So, you think it was Shen Youyou who did all this?”
Was this Bo Jingmo being a little too protective of Lina?
But the man’s tone stayed the same: “I’m just laying out all the facts. Going by your logic, are you saying Lina’s behind everything?”
Mu Chengsi knew she was being overly sensitive, but seeing Bo Jingmo with that NPC made her whole body feel off.
Maybe it was just her sixth sense as a woman, but something about those two felt wrong. freēwēbnovel.com
Maybe Bo Jingmo really did have some issues in this instance.
Thinking of Yu Li back in the real world, her gaze flickered, and she suddenly forced a smirk.
“No, I just think you seem to be really defending Lina. She’s even weirder than Shen Youyou, don’t you think?”
According to deva’s data, Bo Jingmo was someone emotionally detached deep down. He was like that in real life too. So why was he so… proactive in the instance?
And the one he was helping was just an NPC.
At that, Bo Jingmo gave a polite smile. “Is that so? I only pointed it out because Shen Youyou seemed off too. I was just being considerate.”
Mu Chengsi gave a tight, fake smile. “Oh, really? Then thanks, I guess.”
A strange tension suddenly filled the room like smoke.
The other three: “……” What is up with these two?
Jiang Xi looked up at them, the light glinting faintly off her glasses. She stepped in to break the awkward silence.
“If what Bo Jingmo said is true, then both Shen Youyou and Lina are acting pretty suspicious.”
Wu Bei chimed in as well: “Yeah. And Steward Wang said Shen Youyou would meet us tomorrow. But she’s gone missing. So who exactly are they sending in her place? That means tomorrow could get dangerous. We should be prepared.”
Even if Mu Chengsi didn’t agree with Bo Jingmo, she still took the situation seriously.
“This might be our only chance to get together before the storyline really kicks off. After that, everything will shift depending on how things play out.”
This instance was actually pretty forgiving. It gave players one chance to openly exchange information. Otherwise, things could spiral fast if no one knew what was going on.
She stood up, her gaze briefly sweeping over a certain man, then spoke slowly. “Either way, Lina is dangerous. Everyone should limit contact with her. Most of the strange happenings in this manor probably stem from her.”
“Especially you, Bo Jingmo.”
Mu Chengsi’s tone sounded calm, like a friendly warning from a senior.
“You’re Shen Youyou’s boyfriend. I think she’s already targeted you. You’re acting solo, which is risky. If needed, I can keep an extra eye on you.”
Emotions surged in Bo Jingmo’s eyes. His dark gaze looked like the depths of a midnight sea. He raised his head coldly, tightened his grip on the gemstone, and stood up with a soft chuckle.
“Thanks for the heads-up, but no need.”
As the door shut behind him, Jiang Xi looked away and noticed Mu Chengsi still staring. She figured she’d speak up for her former teammate. “Bo Jingmo’s always been like this. Honestly, he’s already toned it down a lot. Back then, he was even more…”
Thinking back to when she first met Bo Jingmo, she choked up a bit before continuing. “Don’t take it personally.”
“It’s fine. I’m not taking it personally. Whether he lives or dies has nothing to do with me,” Mu Chengsi replied flatly. “I just want the truth.”
The truth about Bo Jingmo’s abnormal behavior in the instance. What exactly he was hiding. And once she found out, she’d report it to the higher-ups.
Protect Bo Jingmo? Don’t even think about it. And he probably wouldn’t want her protection anyway.
She closed her eyes and leaned back in the chair, carefully organizing her thoughts.
One thing was clear—Lina was suspicious. As for Shen Youyou…
If Bo Jingmo wasn’t lying, then this instance was far from simple.
But what exactly was Lina?
A ghost? Didn’t seem like it.
A demon? One that could mess with people’s minds?
Snippets from the diary flashed through her mind—
Afraid of sunlight, drinks weird red liquid, doesn’t eat regular food…
Mu Chengsi’s hand stilled. A few seconds later, her eyes flew open and she instinctively gripped the armrest, her face filled with shock.
No way…
That description—it sounded exactly like—
A vampire?!?
Lina is a vampire??
