After Transmigrating into a Novel with My Boyfriend, He Turned Out to Be a Native Villain
Chapter 207: She Is Li Mu

No one knew how dumbfounded Little System was at the time. When it saw the livestream chat flooded with “Li Mu,” it kept trying to reassure itself.

No way.

Yu Li was someone it brought over from the real world. How could she possibly be that Li Mu?

But a bad premonition still had it tangled up inside. It didn’t dare tell Yu Li, and after thinking it over, Little System decided to visit the Film Set System.

Worst case, it would just get yelled at!

As a result, the other side’s indifferent attitude made Little System feel like the sky was falling.

“What do you mean? You knew all along? Why didn’t you say anything?”

【Novel System, I’ve already fulfilled my part of the agreement. What comes next has nothing to do with you. Just follow the plot.】

Follow the plot, my *ss!

“Film Set System, this isn’t what we agreed on!!” It sounded agitated. “You promised that if I gave you Bo Jingmo’s memories, you’d help me fix the storyline! But now you’re just using me!”

【That’s a separate matter. You said you wanted to reverse time, and I already helped you. Isn’t the story unfolding just the way you wanted?】

“You’re lying to me!” Little System was indignant. “You used me! I was wondering why you never exposed me and Sis! Turns out you knew everything from the start! I’m going to tell Sis the truth!! I’ll even tell her about Bo Jingmo!!”

Since it wasn’t smart, it would just let Sis handle it!

At least Little System was self-aware on that front.

As soon as it spoke, the Film Set System’s cold voice fell silent.

【I hope you’ll keep this from her. You really shouldn’t do that.】

“Heh.” Little System was bold now. “Then tell me—what’s Yu Li’s real identity? Who is this Li Mu?”

The Film Set System was silent for a moment, then opened its mouth as if compromising.

【All I can tell you is, Yu Li originally belonged to this world. She is Li Mu.】

Even though it had suspected as much, Little System was still stunned. “She was just a background character, how could she possibly...”

Suddenly realizing something, its tone shifted to disbelief. “So the reason you agreed back then... was because you knew Bo Jingmo’s girlfriend was Yu Li?”

【...I was surprised too.】

Little System was so angry its chip nearly burned up.

It was going through so much! In order to keep the story on track, it had not only agreed to Bo Jingmo’s unreasonable demands but also signed a bunch of unfair contracts with the Film Set System.

In the end, it got nothing out of it! The Film Set System got all the benefits!

Faced with Little System’s breakdown, the Film Set System stayed sympathetically silent for a few seconds—out of professional courtesy.

【Novel System, I’m not lying to you. On the contrary, this is a collaboration. Because we both need Yu Li.】

【But I still can’t keep her soul here. And neither can you. If Yu Li chooses to leave this world, Bo Jingmo will definitely return to his old path. He’ll ruin your storyline and destroy the main couple.】

【Bo Jingmo only agreed to help you back then because you said you could bring Yu Li into this world. If you let her leave now, that would violate your agreement with him.】

Those words made Little System fall completely silent.

The crux of the matter was whether Yu Li was willing to stay.

It had tested Yu Li’s feelings toward Bo Jingmo countless times, just to find out whether she would mind that her boyfriend had tricked her—whether she’d mind that all of this was fake.

After all, even Bo Jingmo himself wasn’t sure.

So that lunatic of a man chose to use amnesia to gain his girlfriend’s sympathy and convince her to stay temporarily.

As if sensing Little System’s hesitation, the Film Set System continued coaxing:

【It’s actually simple. What you want is for Bo Jingmo to follow the proper storyline and for the leads to be safe.】

【Bo Jingmo only wants Yu Li to stay with him forever. To have her by his side.】

【And I just want Yu Li to return to the instance world.】

【If none of us reveals the truth, everything can continue as it is. As long as Yu Li doesn’t know, she’ll think her mission is to save her boyfriend, and all our needs will be met.】

“This isn’t fair to Sis...”

【It wasn’t fair from the moment you dragged her into this alternate world and lied to her that she transmigrated into a novel. Back then, if she had a choice, she never would’ve wanted to come back.】

The Film Set System’s voice was cold and objective.

【And besides, it wasn’t us who lied to her. It was Bo Jingmo. He wanted Yu Li to come into his world. We only fulfilled his wish.】

The light around Little System dimmed. It stayed quiet for a long time before finally speaking: “So how long do you need? Sis is really smart. There’s no way I can keep this from her forever.”

【Not long. Her former teammates have already discovered her. But you can’t let her know she’s Li Mu. You must insist she’s from the real world. To avoid exposure, you also can’t let her see the livestream chat anymore.】

She can’t even see the livestream chat anymore?

Little System let out a dejected “oh.”

In that case, it would have to delete all those screenshots it carefully selected. So annoying—it really wanted to show them to Sis...

“But how exactly are you going to keep Sis’s soul here?”

The Film Set System refused to answer that.

【You’ll know when the time comes.】

Yeah, right—you big-headed ghost!

Heartless, rotten Film Set System!

Little System cursed nonstop in its head. Watching Yu Li’s oblivious expression, its guilt skyrocketed.

Wuwuwu, now it had become a bad System too.

To distract itself, it quickly changed the subject. “Sis, how did you manage to turn those NPCs into monsters?”

Hearing the question, Yu Li leaned against the wall and gave it a sideways glance.

This Little System seemed extra chatty in this instance.

Since there was nothing better to do, she decided to explain further and turned her head toward the room.

“The BOSS in this instance is the God of Peace and the God of Light mentioned in the announcements.”

Little Shadow was slowly devouring “Bo Jingmo’s” corpse. It had started from the lower half, and now only the man’s head remained.

Yu Li walked inside and stared at that face—so similar to “Bo Jingmo’s”—with interest.

She thought to herself that the replica in this instance was truly low-grade. That face didn’t come close to her real little boyfriend’s.

“I’m the God of Light who hears wishes.”

While praying, Yu Li realized she could hear everyone’s thoughts.

Maybe it was because she wasn’t a real instance NPC, so she could also hear the players’ thoughts—but theirs were useless to her.

The ones that mattered were the NPCs making wishes. Their souls had already been marked.

There was no God of Light in this building. It was just a demon in divine disguise.

Every night, the demon could choose anyone to turn into a monster.

Yu Li had initially suspected this, but now she was sure.

Residents on odd-numbered floors were the original identities from the first life.

And those on even-numbered floors—the players’ current identities—were reincarnated versions of those originals.

In the first life, none of them escaped death.

They realized their family members turned into monsters at night. Under extreme fear and the threat of death, they had no choice but to kill their “monster family.”

But doing so violated the peace rules.

So they were cursed and killed by the God of Peace.

Even Bo Jingmo died. By the time he realized Yu Li was the demon, it was too late.

Because all the humans were already dead.

Now the System understood. It looked at the “Bo Jingmo” on the ground, its glow flickering, and suddenly asked:

“Sis, if Bo Jingmo finds out you’re the demon... and he ends up siding with the players, betraying you, even lying to you—what would you do? Would you kill him?”

That question had a double meaning.

If Yu Li found out Bo Jingmo and the System were in on it together—both lying to her—what choice would she make...
