After Transmigrating into a Novel with My Boyfriend, He Turned Out to Be a Native Villain-Chapter 229: Bo Jingmo, You Can’t Go Back

Opening her eyes again, Yu Li was already in a void.

It was pitch-black all around, except for a glowing screen in front of her—that was the contract the voice had mentioned.

She quickly skimmed the contents. It was more or less the same as what she already knew.

So… the Film Set System still found her?

Was it because the NPC won that it noticed something off?

Yu Li looked thoughtful, then slowly spoke when she recalled the system mentioning points and rankings: “The ranking you mentioned just now—is that based on the scores given to NPCs by the audience?”

The screen quickly provided an answer.

【Yes. You are ranked first on the Most Beloved NPC list and are thus eligible to become an official player.】

“Eligible?”

Yu Li couldn’t help but chuckle. “So you’re saying that this invitation isn’t something just anyone can get?”

The system was silent for a moment, then its tone turned slightly respectful.

【You misunderstood. I only meant to say that we genuinely look forward to working with you.】

Yu Li raised an eyebrow, clearly not buying the system’s BS. “Then how many points do I have?”

As soon as she finished speaking, the screen immediately switched to show a number.

【Your point total: 1000】

“I refuse to sign.”

Upon hearing her cold, decisive reply, the number on the screen instantly flickered.

【Your point total: 10000】

“…Heh.”

After a short pause, the screen continued to flash.

【Your point total: 100000】

“……”

【Your point total: 1000000】

Watching the ever-increasing point total, Yu Li’s mouth twitched.

Talk about no bottom line.

But the more it’s like this, the fishier it gets.

Yu Li didn’t give a firm rejection, just silently stared at the rising points. Once it had increased enough, she spoke flatly: “Why should I join? It’s not like I need the money.”

These points might look tempting, like a stack of Death Immunity Passes waving at you, but if the system truly wanted someone dead, all it had to do was tweak the plot a little and it could bankrupt them in seconds.

Anything embedded with a chip like this rarely had good intentions.

Apparently, the Film Set System hadn’t expected her to still be so unmoved at this point. After a pause, it switched back to its familiar “threat” mode.

【If you don’t become a player, I won’t let you enter any more instances. From now on, only Bo Jingmo will go into the film sets.】

“Threatening me?” Yu Li raised an eyebrow, curling her lips. “Sure, go ahead and send Bo Jingmo alone. Perfect—I'll get some rest.”

See? Just seconds ago it was all about sincere invitations, and now it couldn’t help but show its true colors.

“Besides, I think you got something wrong. I never asked to enter these instances in the first place.”

The system choked.

【…You’ll regret this. In the end, you’ll beg me to let you sign.】

But this kind of empty tough talk sounded hollow and powerless in this moment—more like empty posturing.

Yu Li remained calm. “Really? I’ve never begged anyone for anything in my life. I’d love to see what kind of trick some broken AI system like you thinks it’s got.”

【……】

【In that case, let’s wait and see Bo Jingmo’s next performance. Have a nice life.】

As soon as it said that, the Film Set System vanished from the space.

The darkness gradually faded, and the surroundings returned to the setting Yu Li was most familiar with.

“Jie-jie jie-jie!!”

She looked at Little System, who was rushing toward her, and held out a hand to block it, her tone cold: “Explain what’s going on.”

Little System screeched to a stop and stammered, “Well, this… is what’s going on…”

“And Bo Jingmo?”

Yu Li’s gaze remained calm, her voice steady: “You’re hiding something from me, System.”

Little System’s body flickered. “Jie-jie… this really wasn’t my fault. It was Bo Jingmo who told me not to tell you.”

The woman lifted her eyelids. “Bo Jingmo?”

“Yeah.” The system gritted its teeth and blurted everything out in one go.

“Actually, you coming to this world wasn’t an accident. Bo Jingmo asked me to bring you here! He had killed the male and female leads before and then escaped. I was supposed to bring him back, but he refused.”

Yu Li’s tone was unreadable. “So? You forcibly wiped his memory and brought him back?”

System: “?”

Jie-jie, why aren’t you more shocked that it was Bo Jingmo who brought you to this world?

It paused a moment, then muttered, “Didn’t work. I tried to bring him back by force, but I failed.”

A long time ago, the system had tried to forcibly bring Bo Jingmo back into the novel world to restart everything. But somehow, the man had regained his memories—and he was even angrier than before.

He didn’t even give the male and female leads a second to breathe. On the first day he remembered, he went on a killing spree.

The system had practically lost its mind!

But what came next was even worse—Bo Jingmo found the system.

When he broke through the barrier and came after it, Little System trembled as it guarded its chip. “What do you want?”

At that point, Bo Jingmo’s eyes were already bloodshot. His voice was hoarse as he spoke: “Send me back!”

“You can’t.” The system weakly objected. “There’s no going back.”

Before it could finish the sentence, he suddenly grabbed it.

“N-no…” The man’s handsome face was filled with panic. His voice dropped, trembling. “Send me back… Lili is still waiting for me at home…”

He was covered in wounds, blood pouring from him nonstop. His long fingers were soaked in blood, and he looked utterly wrecked.

But the man didn’t care about any of it. He just stared stubbornly at the system, mumbling the same thing over and over: “Send me home…”

Home?

The system didn’t understand. But… wasn’t this your home?

Bo Jingmo, you were originally from here. That otherworldly life was just a fantasy—a dream you stole.

How could you believe it was real?

But when it met his indescribably pleading gaze, the system hesitated. Maybe he was worried about his lover in that world being anxious. After a long silence, it finally spoke softly:

“Bo Jingmo, you can’t go back. And even if you did… it’s useless. Your lover in that world doesn’t remember you. I erased her memory.”

At that, the man froze completely. The confusion in his eyes turned to utter emptiness, and his body stiffened on the spot.

After a long pause, as if all strength had left him, he slowly released his grip, lowered his eyes, and muttered in a daze, “…Amnesia?”

No one noticed how his voice had started to shake—like a tree branch heavy with snow, about to snap at any moment.

“Yes. And I also erased every trace of your past.” The system, thinking it was working, even tried to comfort him, “So you don’t have to worry about her being hurt by your disappe—”

Before it could finish the word “disappearance,” its voice abruptly cut off.

Because the man in front of it suddenly looked up. His handsome face was like ice, and his red eyes were blood-like, filled with madness and obsession. He looked like a venomous snake—cold and terrifying—ready to shred the system to pieces.

“Who gave you permission to erase her memories!?”

His voice turned vicious in an instant. He grabbed the glowing orb in front of him, his face seething with rage. The words were practically forced through clenched teeth, laced with overwhelming fury. “Give her memories back!!”

At that moment, the man had completely lost his sanity. There was only one thought left in his head:

Lili had forgotten him…

She wouldn’t remember him again. And someone else might show up in her life to take his place.

The system panicked and struggled to stop him: “Bo Jingmo!! Calm down! Think about it—you’ve been gone for so long, there’s no way Yu Li could still remember you!”

His pupils shrank. His breath caught in his throat, and his movements froze on the spot.

A strange silence blanketed the room.

After who knew how long, the man suddenly let out a soft laugh.

But his gaze remained terrifyingly dead and still, as though he had completely given up on living.

“Then… what’s the point?”

He slowly said the words, then closed his eyes and tilted his head back. Blood tears welled up at the corners of his eyes. At the same time, countless chaotic and terrifying powers surged from his body, blasting toward the sky as if to pierce the heavens.

The system panicked. “Bo Jingmo! Calm down!!”

Crap—he totally stepped on a landmine!!

What the hell?! Is he going to destroy the world?!

At that moment, another mechanical voice echoed through the air.

【Bo Jingmo, I can help you go back.】
