After Transmigrating into a Novel with My Boyfriend, He Turned Out to Be a Native Villain
Chapter 206: Livestream Chat Is Broken

“Ka-cha——” the stairwell door was opened by someone.

A woman slowly walked up in the dark.

No one knew how long had passed when she pulled out a flashlight and shone it at the stairwell label.

Fifth floor.

She walked to the exit and gently pushed the door, but it seemed to be locked from the outside and wouldn’t budge at all.

The woman lowered her gaze and quietly stared at the doorknob, while countless tendrils of black mist silently crept out behind her.

The next second, with a loud “BANG,” the door flew open.

Yu Li put away her flashlight and stepped inside.

The fifth floor layout was identical to the others, but the difference was this place felt even more abandoned. The hallway was thick with dust, as if no one had lived here in a long time.

Yu Li walked straight to one of the doors, looked up—503.

It was the apartment directly above her own.

Not only was the door to 503 unlocked, it was left slightly ajar. Combined with the eerily quiet surroundings, it gave off an ominous and creepy vibe.

Without much hesitation, Yu Li reached out and pushed the door open.

“Creak——”

An instant screech pierced through the air.

The room inside was pitch-black, like a bottomless abyss. A dangerous aura filled the space, as if a beast might leap out at any moment.

She shone her flashlight inside, revealing everything clearly.

And then, something even creepier appeared. The furnishings in this apartment were identical to Xu Wei’s home—sofa, coffee table, even the little decorations were all perfectly replicated.

It was like… a parallel version of the same home.

Except this one was in chaos. Furniture overturned, and the floor stained with dark, dried blood.

The Little System perched on her shoulder let out a shocked “Wah” upon seeing the scene. “Sister, this place looks just like your home.”

Yu Li’s expression didn’t change. She stepped forward into the room. “Of course it does—because this is Xu Wei’s home.”

“Huh?” The Little System was dumbfounded. “This is Xu Wei’s house?”

Yu Li didn’t say anything more. She walked through the mess of debris and stopped in front of the bedroom door. After a pause, she pushed it open.

The flashlight beam lit up the inside—

And the Little System cried out in shock.

“Bo Jingmo is dead!!”

In the dimly lit room, a man’s corpse lay on the floor. His posture was unnaturally twisted, holding a sharp knife that had been plunged deep into his chest, making it look like suicide.

And the man… had the exact same face as Bo Jingmo.

The eyes staring toward the door were filled with terror and fear, completely shattering the cold and handsome expression he usually carried.

Yu Li stared at that face in silence, then suddenly let out a laugh.

“So that’s how it is.”

So this is the method to break the rules.

The Little System was still clueless. “Sister! What did you figure out?”

Yu Li stepped into the room and held out her hand. “Little Shadow, eat him.”

A tiny black figure appeared in her palm. After receiving the command, it nodded and leapt down from Yu Li’s hand.

It stood next to “Bo Jingmo,” and its body gradually turned into a cloud of black mist.

The corpse on the ground, upon contact with the corrosive gas, instantly melted into a puddle of unknown, foul-smelling, sticky liquid.

Yu Li stepped back and stood outside the doorway. While Little Shadow completed the task, she slowly explained.

“It’s simple. This instance is a loop.”

She leaned back against the wall with her eyes closed, recalling the clues she and Bo Jingmo had found in the room.

“In this instance, Bo Jingmo’s persona is someone who appears to love his wife, but in truth, he’s always wanted to kill her. However, judging by the home decor, it’s clear that he once truly loved her. So something must’ve happened that drove him over the edge.”

As if amused by a thought, Yu Li’s lips curled slightly.

“And it’s probably not just Bo Jingmo. The other players’ personas are likely the same. They’ll find contradictions in their identities—loving their family on one hand, while wanting to kill them on the other.”

Take Chen Zhixia, for example. He was clearly a dutiful son. But from a player’s perspective, Chen Zhixia desperately wished his parents were dead.

Rong Fan was also a caring older brother who doted on his sister. But through clues, players would discover he was on the verge of collapse and wanted to kill Rong Ya.

Then there’s Mu Chengsi. She loved her child deeply, but also couldn’t wait for her child to die.

Love and hatred… could exist in the same person.

These personas seem contradictory, but if you shift your perspective, they make total sense.

For example… imagine watching someone you love turn into a monster trying to kill you. In the face of overwhelming fear and survival instinct, would those feelings of love still remain?

The Little System was even more shocked by this theory. “Sister, how do you know those NPCs will turn into monsters?”

But Yu Li just chuckled softly. “Because I’m the one who turned them into monsters.”

Rong Ya losing control—she caused that too.

Right now, the players hadn’t found any clues yet. So when something like that happened, they wouldn’t dare act rashly.

And that’s when Bo Jingmo could step in and help smooth things over—gaining audience favor in the process.

After all, as a newcomer, Bo Jingmo would inevitably face bias from high-level viewers. He needed to boost his approval rating quickly.

Yu Li hadn’t checked the livestream chat, but she could guess all this easily.

After all, as long as there was a hierarchy, there would be a chain of disdain.

The high-levels would look down on the low-levels, and the low-levels would admire the high-levels.

It was just basic instinct.

Thinking of that, she glanced at the Little System and casually asked, “By the way, how’s the chat reacting to Bo Jingmo? Play it for me.”

She had some time now—might as well review the plot while she was at it.

The System: “!!”(ΩДΩ)

T-The chat?

The Little System stammered immediately. “The chat… the chat hasn’t really been working lately.”

“Hmm?” Yu Li frowned slightly. “What do you mean?”

“M-Maybe it’s because we suddenly entered an A-rank instance. The chat here is managed more strictly than before. I can’t access it now either.” The Little System sounded guilty. “Wuwuwu, I’m sorry, Sister.”

Yu Li gave the Little Yellow Orb on her shoulder a sidelong glance. “It’s fine. If we can’t see it now, then forget it. Can we check it after it’s over?”

“…I don’t think we can either.”

The woman sighed softly. “Is that so? What a pity.”

The guilty Little System didn’t dare meet Yu Li’s eyes—but luckily, it was just a ball. Even if it lied, there was no way to tell.

In truth, the chat wasn’t broken.

Ever since the audience had recognized Yu Li, the Little System had seen the overwhelming flood of messages pouring in.
