After Transmigrating into a Novel with My Boyfriend, He Turned Out to Be a Native Villain-Chapter 56: Cursed Couple

They followed Hu Ling into a remote teaching building on the first floor. This was one of the old school buildings that had already been abandoned before the school shut down for good.

The classrooms they passed were filled with the oldest type of wooden desks—scarred and dented, still etched with student scribbles and doodles from years ago.

Broken desk legs were scattered across the floor, cobwebs covered everything, and unidentifiable plastic trash bags lay in heaps.

After turning a few corners, they found their path blocked by several large desks.

The wooden desks had been placed right in the middle of the hallway—clearly meant to keep people from going any further.

And Yu Haoye’s corpse lay sprawled on the floor, his back soaked in blood, lifeless.

Jiang Xi finally got a good look at what was stuck in his back—it was indeed a knife.

Who stabbed him?

Just as she was thinking that, she suddenly heard Hu Ling talking to someone nearby.

“This guy—did Mr. Wu tell you to bring him here?”

She turned and saw, in the corner, a student-like male ghost standing there without them even noticing. He glanced their way with clear suspicion in his eyes. “Who are you?”

Hu Ling quickly explained, “Qi Huang, this is my old classmate—Jiang Xi. They’re here to help us get rid of Wu Bianming.”

Qi Huang questioned suspiciously, “Really? Just you guys?”

“It’s true, I swear. Look—Bo Jingmo is with us too. He’s helping us.”

Hu Ling quickly pointed to Bo Jingmo, who was at the back of the group.

When Qi Huang saw Bo Jingmo’s face, his expression flickered with surprise, and he gradually started to believe it.

If Bo Jingmo was here, then following the strongest made total sense.

The doubt faded from his eyes, and he nodded before answering Hu Ling’s earlier question.

“Yeah, Wu Bianming told me to move him here.”

Watching his attitude shift so fast in real time, both Jiang Xi and Hou Liang felt their expressions twitch.

“……”

They hated this power-worshipping world!

【I’m dying lmao, the second he heard Bo Jingmo’s name, Qi Huang was sold.】

【Can’t blame him. Strangers’ strength is a mystery, but Bo Jingmo? He knows. Strongest ghost student, zero doubts.】

【Our main team’s got the brains, Bo Jingmo’s got the brawn. That combo used to be legendary—too bad Bo Jingmo’s mind was always a mess. Eventually, he became the team’s biggest threat.】

【You can’t say that for sure. He never killed Jiang Xi and the others. Doesn’t that mean he had some awareness left?】

【Players lose points for killing players. Maybe Bo Jingmo remembered that, so he held back.】

【Haha, nah, I think Bo Jingmo just let them go on purpose. He never cared about points—dude goes on rampages all the time. You think he’d care about losing a few points over players?】

【Maybe he cares now? He did come to help the main group, after all. I’ve always wanted to know what’s going on between him and Qing Li. They’ve never been in the same scene. Can’t wait!】

【Same! What if Bo Jingmo loses his mind the moment he sees Qing Li and just goes straight for the kill?】

【Wu Bianming’s right there though. He probably won’t go full psycho yet. Maybe just tear off the masks—no more pretending.】

【Hehehe, big scene coming soon!】

Hu Ling nodded after hearing Qi Huang’s words, then turned to Jiang Xi and said, “After Wu Bianming kills someone, he makes us leave the bodies here. Then he takes them away himself.”

Before Jiang Xi could respond, Qi Huang suddenly cut in: “This time’s different. He wasn’t the one who killed this person.”

Instantly, all eyes turned toward him—even Bo Jingmo looked over, his expression unreadable and dark.

Jiang Xi’s fingers clenched, something catching in her throat as she forced herself to speak: “Then… who did?”

She already had a guess.

Aside from Wu Bianming, the only one left who would do it was—

“Qing Li.”

When that name came from Qi Huang’s mouth, everyone’s expressions shifted in complicated ways.

Only Bo Jingmo, standing at the back, had the faintest curve at the corner of his lips. His eyes narrowed slightly, and he actually looked a little… pleased.

Just as Qi Huang finished speaking, footsteps and voices echoed from downstairs.

“Qing Li, I’m telling you right now—you better prove you’re actually useful. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being rough.”

A familiar woman’s soft laugh followed: “Mr. Wu, too much anger is bad for your liver. Even if you’re a ghost, you should still take care of your health.”

Wu Bianming: “…Shut up.”

The moment that voice came through, Hu Ling’s face changed drastically. “Crap! Mr. Wu is coming! Why’s he here so early today?!”

Jiang Xi switched off her flashlight and scanned the area, her voice low and steady: “We need to hide first. Let’s see where he puts the body.”

Just then, the male ghost who’d stayed silent suddenly spoke up: “It’s no use. Your presence will give you away.”

Everyone turned toward the voice—and saw Bo Jingmo leaning against the railing, his posture relaxed, casually twirling a leaf he’d picked up somewhere. His school uniform looked oddly noble and tailored on him. Dark ink-colored hair fell over his brow, his nose was straight, jawline sharp. His cool, aloof features gave him a naturally refined look.

But those narrow eyes remained cold and indifferent. He slipped the leaf into his pocket, lifted his gaze, and said expressionlessly:

“I’ll hide you.”

—

This was Wu Bianming’s 365th regret about bringing Qing Li to his secret base.

This dmn girl hadn’t stopped pssing him off the entire way here.

He only had himself to blame. He could’ve just walked in silence, but no—he had to go and provoke her, knowing full well she’d have something sharp to say.

And every time, it just made him angrier.

Wu Bianming stormed up the stairs with a dark expression, already planning in his head how he was going to kill her once this was over.

Suddenly, the footsteps that had been following him stopped.

He frowned and turned back—only to find Qing Li staring off into the distance. But when he followed her gaze, there was nothing there.

—Just an ordinary hallway.

“What are you looking at?”

Yu Li pulled her gaze back, raised an eyebrow, and said, “Just looking around. Is that not allowed? Why are you asking?”

Wu Bianming gritted his teeth: “…No. Stop wasting my time.”

Yu Li shot him a glance and replied lightly, “Oh.”

Then, as if she hadn’t heard him, she strolled right toward that hallway.

Just to waste time.

Wu Bianming: “……”

First Bo Jingmo, now Qing Li.

Back when they were his students—how the h*ll had he put up with them?!

Ignoring Wu Bianming’s murderous glare, Yu Li tucked a wind-blown strand of hair behind her ear, lips curved faintly, and bent down to pick up a leaf.

“Let’s go.”

Wu Bianming saw the thing in her hand and let out a sarcastic snort. “You’re picking up leaves now? What are you, a trash collector?”

Yu Li brushed her fingertips over the leaf’s surface, smiling as she held it up to examine its shape. Her voice was uncharacteristically gentle: “It’s special, isn’t it? It’s even heart-shaped.”

This was something her little boyfriend had picked out and left for her.

He was already starting to pay attention to things around him—must’ve gotten bored.

So cute. She really wanted to pat his head.

She sighed inwardly at the thought, carefully smoothing out the leaf before gently placing it into her pocket.

Wu Bianming caught her movements and couldn’t help rolling his eyes.

Getting all worked up over a leaf?

【Aaaaahhhh!! That leaf! That’s the one Bo Jingmo was holding earlier!】

【I remember too!! I even wondered why Bo Jingmo was playing with a leaf at the time—and it was such a unique shape, I took an extra look!! And now Qing Li has it!!】

【Who else feels this?! Aaaaah!! Is this like… a cursed couple moment?!】

【I’m sorry, I have to ship this twisted, enemies-to-lovers CP for just one second—just one second, sob sob sob.】

【Count me in too! I wanna ship it now!】

【Wait, didn’t Bo Jingmo take that leaf with him? I swear he pocketed it—how did it end up back in the hallway?】

【He’s hiding upstairs with Jiang Xi right now, so there’s no way… no way he left it there on purpose for Qing Li, right?】

【And she touched the leaf!!!!! Bo Jingmo had been touching it earlier too—do you know what this means?! I’m done, guys. You win. This is so cursed. I know I shouldn’t ship it, but I have to.】

Wu Bianming moved the desks blocking the hallway, then shifted into a solid form and picked up the body on the ground. He turned to Yu Li and said, “Keep up.”

Yu Li gave the upper floor a meaningful glance, then stood up and replied blandly:

“I’m coming. You go ahead.”
