After Transmigrating into a Novel with My Boyfriend, He Turned Out to Be a Native Villain-Chapter 238: We Can Kill Bo Jingmo

Upon hearing that, Xing Yuan instantly put on a mock-frightened expression.

“I didn’t say that—I just shared my guess.”

“But your guess basically means exactly that.”

Yu Jiao looked up at him, “So what you’re saying is… if Li Mu wants to come back, she has to take back her skill first?”

As for how she’d take it back…

When would a player ever hand over a skill?

In that moment, one answer appeared in everyone’s mind—death.

Only by letting Bo Jingmo die would the skill on him return to Li Mu.

Yu Jiao narrowed her eyes, thinking Bo Jingmo wouldn’t be so easy to kill. Even if he died in an Instance, he’d revive again and again.

Then she heard Xing Yuan suddenly chuckle.

“Actually, I just got an interesting bit of info from Jiang Xi—she said Bo Jingmo’s skill is that he can’t die inside an Instance.”

His tone was filled with emotion, “Which is totally different from what we’re guessing right now. Don’t tell me Bo Jingmo has two skills?”

Yu Jiao froze for a second, frowned and looked up, “What do you mean by that?”

“I’m just saying it’s surprising.”

Xing Yuan sat leisurely in his chair with his phone in hand, “After all, no one’s ever had two skills inside an Instance, right?”

The man’s eyes curved as he smiled, the lines at the corners of his eyes lightly folding. His expression seemed warm but gave off an inexplicably off-putting feeling.

“So there’s a good chance one of Bo Jingmo’s skills is fake. In that case, I think we could try killing him once in the Instance.”

As soon as he said that, Yu Jiao furrowed her brow, feeling the urge to object.

But rejecting it now would make her defense of Bo Jingmo way too obvious.

So instead, she held back her emotions, smoothed her tone, and replied with a half-smile, half-sarcastic comment.

“Didn’t expect the peace-preaching leader of peace to one day suggest we kill someone.”

“Yu Jiao, now that’s putting a big hat on me.”

Xing Yuan quickly waved his hands humbly.

“I’m just proposing the most effective solution. If Bo Jingmo really has a death immunity skill, then even if we try to kill him, he won’t die. But if it’s fake, then even if he does die, Li Mu can return.”

After finishing, he adjusted his tone and said slowly, “So whether you want Bo Jingmo or Li Mu—it’s up to you all to decide.”

“Heh… ‘up to us,’ huh?”

Yu Jiao’s lips curved up with a trace of mockery.

“What does Mr. Xing think?”

“I’m fine either way. I’ll go along with whatever you seniors decide.”

He was the one who proposed killing someone, but now he was stepping back like it had nothing to do with him—as if it was the veterans who were desperate to see Bo Jingmo die.

Yu Jiao’s gaze turned slightly cold. She no longer paid attention to Xing Yuan, turning instead to Xin Hao and Qi Cheng’an.

“What do you think?”

Xin Hao crossed his arms, lost in thought: “We shouldn’t jump to conclusions yet. I’ll wait till I find Chen Zhixia and bring him over to your side before deciding.”

Seeing that the discussion had more or less wrapped up, the meeting came to an end. Just as Yu Jiao was about to leave, Xin Hao called out to her in a low voice:

“Yu Jiao, you and Rong Fan stay a bit longer. Let’s have a private talk.”

She paused and turned around.

“Alright.”

……

Once Xin Hao got everything arranged, the four veteran players regrouped in the meeting room.

Xin Hao stared at them with a complicated expression, and the first thing he said was:

“Yu Jiao, Rong Fan—are you secretly keeping tabs on Bo Jingmo?”

At that, Yu Jiao was slightly stunned. Before she could say anything, she heard Xin Hao sigh.

“Don’t bother trying to deny it. Never mind the fact that Rong Fan got reported for going into a newbie instance—once I heard Bo Jingmo’s name, I figured it out.”

This time, Yu Jiao could only give a muffled “mm.”

But Xin Hao was still puzzled: “Why are you two investigating him?”

“……” Yu Jiao only sighed, “If I said it was related to Li Mu, would you believe me?”

“Huh?? Li Mu?”

Xin Hao scratched his head, “What’s Bo Jingmo got to do with Li Mu? So you agreed to go to deva because of this too?”

Yu Jiao didn’t know how to explain it either, so she just nodded silently. “It’s kind of complicated… I didn’t expect Li Mu to come back, either.”

“Then if Bo Jingmo is your investigation target, that means we can’t kill him, right?” Xin Hao asked, “When the time comes, I’ll just come up with some excuse to turn him down.”

Rong Fan, who had been quiet until now, suddenly spoke with an unreadable expression.

“Actually, I think Xing Yuan’s idea makes sense.”

The other three immediately turned to look at him.

Yu Jiao’s brows pinched together: “Rong Fan, do you know what you’re saying?”

Rong Fan’s eyes narrowed slightly: “I do. Don’t you all want Li Mu to return? The System deliberately placed Li Mu and Bo Jingmo together—maybe it’s trying to tell us something.”

He looked up at Yu Jiao: “And besides, it’s not like we’re guaranteed to kill him. Why not give it a shot? If it works and brings Li Mu back, we wouldn’t really lose anything.”

Yu Jiao replied coolly, “And do you think that person would agree?”

The person she meant… was the true founder behind deva.

Looking at Rong Fan, who clearly hadn’t let go of his grudge, Yu Jiao didn’t hesitate to call him out.

“Rong Fan, you’re still holding a grudge against Bo Jingmo because of what happened in the Instance.”

She couldn’t help but click her tongue silently, thinking this Rong Fan really was a blockhead—completely lost his sense of proportion the moment Li Mu was involved.

No wonder Li Mu didn’t like him back then.

Her tone turned harsher, “It’s been years and you still act so childish? Rong Fan, are you planning to drop out of the high-level player rankings?”

They’d all stayed in the high-level player bracket for so long simply because of how long they’d been around—not because they still participated in Instances.

Upon hearing that, Rong Fan clenched his fists and lowered his gaze in silence.

No one knew how long passed before he finally spoke in a low voice:

“Sorry.”

The room fell into a moment of awkward silence.

Qi Cheng’an quickly stepped in to smooth things over, “C’mon, Rong Fan just really wants Li Mu to come back too. And it’s true—there are fewer and fewer veterans on the film set these days. Most people haven’t even seen Li Mu in person.”

A decade had already washed away everything. The earliest batch of players had either died in Instances, or realized they could never complete all the missions, and chose to trade their points for money, erase their memories, and vanish from the scene.

You could say the current leaderboard was mostly filled with fresh blood from recent years.

Except for Li Mu’s number one spot—no one had ever shaken it.

Yu Jiao let out a silent sigh.

But so what if it couldn’t be shaken? She wasn’t even around anymore.

Some even whispered that Li Mu was just a fabricated deity—that she never really existed.

Feeling her phone vibrate, she glanced down and her expression changed in an instant.

“Insane…”

Xin Hao looked over curiously: “What is? What’s insane?”

Yu Jiao first shot a complicated look at Rong Fan, then turned to Xin Hao.

“Just now, we got a message from the top. They told us to halt the investigation for now. And also… they ordered us to kill Bo Jingmo.”
