After Transmigrating into a Novel with My Boyfriend, He Turned Out to Be a Native Villain-Chapter 172: Borrowing Something from You

There was a moment of silence. Yu Li hadn’t expected deva to care so much about Bo Jingmo, even poking into his relationship matters.

She lifted her gaze and glanced lazily at Bo Jingmo.

“President Bo, looks like it’s pretty dangerous for me to stay by your side.”

Who knows, maybe one day she’d end up being monitored.

The man clearly hadn’t anticipated this either. He tightened his grip on her hand, his eyes darkening: “I’ll take care of it.”

He handed the phone back to Mu Chengsi, then stood up and walked out.

After hearing the door close, Mu Chengsi actually felt a bit more relaxed now that she was alone with Yu Li. “Is there anything else you want to ask?”

Yu Li pulled her gaze back from the door, folded her arms, and asked calmly: “Since you’ve investigated Bo Jingmo for so long, what’s your team’s assessment of him?”

“Danger level.”

Mu Chengsi repeated the same evaluation she’d given earlier, but this time, she added a more detailed explanation.

“We’ve discovered that Bo Jingmo suffers from a rare condition. Certain triggers can bring out the darkest parts of him—bloodlust, rage, even other extreme tendencies. And there’s a very dangerous power inside him. We still haven’t figured out what exactly it is.”

As Mu Chengsi spoke, she suddenly remembered the girl in front of her was Bo Jingmo’s girlfriend. She paused. Seeing no change in Yu Li’s expression, she continued:

“In the real world, Bo Jingmo has these symptoms too, but he suppresses his urges on purpose. Once he returns to an instance, that kind of environment makes it easier for him to have an episode. Especially after death—his power becomes even harder to control and more terrifying. That’s why some say he loses his sense of self.”

Hearing this, Yu Li didn’t look the least bit surprised. She understood her boyfriend better than anyone. The fact that deva could uncover all this after putting in so much effort wasn’t surprising.

So what exactly did deva want from Bo Jingmo?

Seeing Yu Li lower her eyes in thought, Mu Chengsi couldn’t help but give in to her curiosity: “Aren’t you afraid?”

After hearing such an unknown and dark side of Bo Jingmo, any normal person would feel at least a little afraid. But the girl in front of her had barely flinched.

“Afraid?” Yu Li lifted her eyelids and lazily curled her lips. “Why would I be afraid?”

Mu Chengsi answered instinctively: “Because Bo Jingmo is like a ticking time bomb. If he suddenly has an episode one day, he could completely lose awareness and might end up hurting the people around him.”

“That’s it?”

Yu Li chuckled softly and leaned back in her chair. “Mu Chengsi, you seem to have forgotten. Bo Jingmo and I met in the Horror Villa instance.”

As soon as she said it, Mu Chengsi’s expression froze, and her eyes widened slightly.

She’d almost forgotten… it was Yu Li who first provoked Bo Jingmo in that instance.

This woman had even dared to flirt with a memoryless, dangerous vengeful ghost.

Yu Li continued with a soft smile: “He kills me, I kill him back. It’s not like it hasn’t happened before.”

In that moment, a chill climbed up Mu Chengsi’s spine, and her palms began to sweat.

Only now did she truly see what kind of person her roommate of nearly two years really was.

A lunatic.

A terrifying lunatic.

After their conversation ended, Bo Jingmo returned shortly after.

He sat back down beside Yu Li and held her hand. “I’ve already sent someone to investigate.”

Aside from the occasional public appearance, most people had never seen what the Bo family’s young master actually looked like—not even online photos.

Mu Chengsi let out a cold snort. “Relax, they probably don’t know yet. I haven’t told them.”

Yu Li raised an eyebrow. “Sounds like you’re planning to go back and tell them?”

Mu Chengsi paused slightly, then looked at Yu Li with helplessness.

“To be honest with you, even if I can fake things for you in the forms, once I get called in for questioning, there’s nothing I can do.”

At that, she gripped her phone tightly. “Because deva has a highly experienced senior player whose skill lets her detect lies.”

“Oh? Players can use their skills in the real world too?”

Yu Li’s attention clearly shifted to that last part, her gaze full of curiosity as she looked at Mu Chengsi.

If she guessed right, Mu Chengsi’s skill was probably changing her appearance—could she do it now too?

Mu Chengsi’s face froze as if she’d read Yu Li’s mind. “Not everyone can. Only senior players might have that kind of privilege.”

But bringing skills into the real world… the cost must be unimaginable.

“So, about you and Bo Jingmo—I probably won’t be able to help you keep it hidden anymore.”

Hearing that, Yu Li didn’t say anything. She just rubbed her chin in thought. “The skill you mentioned—if it only determines whether what I say is true or false, then if the information I have is wrong to begin with, it doesn’t matter?”

“Right. That’s pretty much how it works. Though some players might have issues with self-awareness, in general, that skill…”

Mu Chengsi trailed off. She had just seen Yu Li curve her eyes into a smile.

She blinked, a sense of foreboding creeping in. “What?”

Yu Li clapped her hands and spoke with a light tone: “Well, in that case, it’s simple. When they ask you, you just genuinely don’t know anything about it.”

That way, everything you say will be true.

“Huh?”

For once, Mu Chengsi was too stunned to respond. “What do you mean… I don’t know anything?”

They’d been sitting here talking for ages—how could she not know?

Mu Chengsi felt a bit mocking—what, was she supposed to get amnesia?

Yu Li didn’t reply. She slowly stood up.

She smiled gently at Mu Chengsi, her eyes curving like crescent moons, pure and clear, radiating warmth and kindness. Then she said: freewēbnoveℓ.com

“Mu Chengsi, can I borrow something from you?”

Mu Chengsi froze, looking up at the girl walking toward her step by step. Instinctively, she asked: “Borrow what?”

But the other girl just smiled without answering, and lightly placed her hand on the top of Mu Chengsi’s head.

Mu Chengsi looked puzzled.

What’s this about?

What she couldn’t see was that a dark mist began to swirl in Yu Li’s palm, seeping out from between her fingers.

The mist twisted into thin, long black threads, writhing in the air like countless tiny, dangerous black snakes. Some even brushed against Yu Li affectionately, looking both eerie and oddly obedient.

Yu Li stared blankly at the black threads, her gaze drifting to a certain spot, as if silently giving them instructions.

In an instant, the threads shifted direction.

They began to slowly wrap around Mu Chengsi’s head, some even brushing her face with an icy, bone-chilling sensation.

Meanwhile, as she caught sight of the thing from the corner of her eye, Mu Chengsi’s pupils shrank and goosebumps exploded across her skin. It felt like a venomous snake had just slithered over her.

What the h*ll is this???!!

Terrified, she tried to stand up.

But in the next second, those black threads shot straight into her head.

Mu Chengsi’s pupils contracted, her body froze. Within seconds, her eyes turned vacant and her expression went dull and lifeless.

She sat blankly on the sofa, like a soulless puppet.

Seeing this, Yu Li tilted her head and let out a soft chuckle:

“You asked what I’m borrowing…”

“Of course—it’s your memory, for safekeeping.”
