After Transmigrating into a Novel with My Boyfriend, He Turned Out to Be a Native Villain-Chapter 62: I’ve Always Been Able to See Ghosts

They were dead.

Bo Jingmo and Qing Li—both dead.

Jiang Xi and Hou Liang stared blankly at the scene in front of them, frozen, until a group of uniformed people burst into the classroom. That’s when they finally snapped back to reality.

Cen Xiu followed behind the group, and when he saw the classroom’s state, his face changed and he instinctively began backing away.

Holy sh*t, this scene…

Jiang Xi’s eyes darkened the moment she saw him. She clenched her teeth and suddenly shouted, “Cen Xiu?! You’re the one who called the police?!”

The leads just got caught—game over!

But to her surprise, Cen Xiu blinked in confusion. His tone was puzzled.

“What? Jiang Xi… wasn’t it you who messaged me to call the cops?”

Jiang Xi: “When did I…”

Mid-sentence, her expression changed dramatically. She quickly reached for her phone—only to realize it was gone.

The phone she had put in her pocket was missing.

When she was being held hostage… that woman had…?

Jiang Xi’s eyes went blank for a moment, a chilling sense of being manipulated washing over her.

…Then what about Hu Ling?

What about the other students?

Did she complete the mission… or not?

Just as her mind spiraled, a familiar system voice echoed in all the players’ heads:

【Congratulations, players. The decade-long secret of Holy Wings High School has finally been revealed…】

【You were a psychotic teacher with a strong desire for control. You wanted to dominate everything, forcing every student to obey. Any disobedient ones suffered physical punishment.】

【But in the end, you were still just an ordinary teacher. Your abuse was exposed, and you were fired from the school—without a doubt. You lost your job, your last lifeline. In despair, you chose to hang yourself.】

【After death, you became a vengeful ghost. But your obsession with control didn’t fade—in fact, it intensified. You decided to recreate a classroom of obedient students. And so, you set your sights on your former class.】

【Coincidentally, there was a spoiled rich girl who used to bully a poor but talented student. That student’s family was in deep debt. Orphaned. Emotionally broken. Under your manipulation, the student finally jumped to their death. Everyone believed the rich girl was to blame.】

【Panicked, she tried to bury the incident at all costs. You saw your opportunity and began your slaughter.】

【“Someone will always help hide it.” —You thought gleefully. So you started picking targets. Later, you even discovered a supernatural way to gain power.】

【But you never expected that the same rich girl who helped you… would become your biggest obstacle.】

【Selfish, vengeful, and unbearably lonely—her hatred tormented her for countless nights. She was no longer normal.】

【From the moment Bo Jingmo returned for revenge, she knew she couldn’t run anymore. Bo Jingmo deliberately exposed the truth on the forums. Everything from that year came to light.】

【But she wasn’t willing to go down quietly. She wanted everyone to remember her. With her own life, she tore off the mask hiding the truth at Holy Wings High.】

【She was the origin of the disaster—and the final curtain of redemption.】

【Congratulations to all surviving players for completing the main quest: Save the students, uncover the truth.】

The ding-dong of the system notification snapped everyone from their thoughts. While Jiang Xi was still stunned, Hou Liang’s voice rang out beside her, excited:

“Jiang Xi! We did it! We’re alive!”

The injuries they suffered on set—if not fatal—would disappear once they returned to the real world. Now that the film had ended, the pain vanished like a receding tide.

Jiang Xi dazedly clutched her abdomen, as if she could still feel the blade’s pain buried in her flesh.

She suddenly murmured:

“No… Hou Liang… we didn’t succeed.”

Hou Liang looked confused. “What do you mean? We did succeed, Xi Xi.”

But Jiang Xi just shook her head. “No, Hou Liang. The main quest completed. That doesn’t mean we won.”

She lifted her head, eyes glimmering, emotions in turmoil.

“We were the protagonists, weren’t we?”

“But in the final story resolution… we weren’t even mentioned. Everything that was supposed to be our job was done by that NPC.”

If Bo Jingmo’s mission was to eliminate the ghost—

Then theirs was to save the students.

But in the end, it was Qing Li—the NPC—who saved them.

They had merely benefited from her actions, and the system credited them with success. But in reality, the audience would never recognize them.

They didn’t even do as much as Bo Jingmo.

Meanwhile, the viewers in the chat received the same story summary.

【The film has ended. Thank you for watching. Please rate the characters you loved or hated!】

【Nooo… another CP ended in tragedy…】

【So Qing Li did all of this just to give herself a presence? No wonder she called herself the girlfriend—just wanted everyone’s attention!】

【Pitiful people always have their flaws, but man… their final scene was stunning. That shot was gorgeous T^T】

【Agreed. Especially the leaf falling at the end—what a perfect touch. Maybe it symbolized a real connection between Bo Jingmo and Qing Li?】

【G*d, can they both come back? I want flashbacks, give me the past T^T】

【No one gonna mention how amazing Bo Jingmo was at the end? He gave up revenge, used up his ghost lifespan to kill Wu Bianming. Legendary. Barely any screen time, but took out the final boss.】

【Wasn’t it Qing Li though? She saved the students and burned the photos—that’s what weakened Wu Bianming.】

【They worked together, okay…! Now I wanna ship them again.】

【The main team was so tragic this round. Covered in wounds, but the one who saved everyone was a love-hate NPC.】

【Everyone, go rate the NPCs! That’s the new feature, right? Rate away!!】

The rating system appeared next—unsurprisingly, Bo Jingmo ranked first, followed by Jiang Xi and Hou Liang, then Cen Xiu at the bottom.

As for Yu Haoye, his name turned gray—that was the mark of a dead player.

Without enough points to revive, his soul would be recycled by the system. A cheeky note appeared under his name:

【Lalala~ Wonderful~ Welcome to the club!】

It looked annoyingly smug.

Yu Li stood in the void, eyes fixed on Bo Jingmo’s score rising by 0.5 points, but her expression showed no relief.

The rate of increase would slow from here, and others were climbing too. If she wanted to stay on top, she’d have to place first in every single round.

She tapped her chin and scrolled to the top of the board—

But no matter what, she couldn’t reach it.

“What’s going on?” she asked the system beside her.

The system replied, “That’s the protagonist leaderboard. They can’t view high-level players, Big Sis, so we can’t see it.”

Hiding her name and rank was a sensible precaution. Being too noticeable would only make her a target—so Yu Li didn’t press further.

But just then, the system next to her suddenly puffed up in anger and asked,

“Big Sis, why did you have to die at the end?! Dying hurts! You could’ve just gotten arrested by the cops instead!”

Yu Li froze for a second, then a helpless smile tugged at her lips. “That was Bo Jingmo’s task.”

The very first night the man came to her, Yu Li had already guessed—his mission was to kill her.

Bo Jingmo hated Qing Li. So the first thing he’d do after showing up would naturally be to seek revenge.

But her little boyfriend would never actually kill her.

Which meant his mission wouldn’t be completed—and his score would be incomplete.

So Qing Li had to die. She couldn’t be allowed to survive the instance.

Sensing the concern in the system’s voice, Yu Li’s eyes curved into a smile. “It’s okay. It didn’t hurt.”

When her little boyfriend killed her at the end, he’d been so skilled—it was over before she even felt pain.

She asked the system to put away the projection screen and was about to leave—

When the little glowing orb hesitantly asked,

“Big Sis… that ghost-catching thing you did in the instance… was that real or fake…?”

God knows how shocked the system had been when it saw that scene—it was just as stunned as the audience.

Yu Li’s gaze paused, her brow lifting slightly.

Was this system even professional? It hadn’t even done proper research before binding to someone?

Then again, for a system that went around stealing other systems’ rules, she probably shouldn’t have expected much.

With a sigh, Yu Li replied, “It was real.”

She shrugged, her tone casual and lazy—like it was the most ordinary ability in the world.

“I’ve always been able to see ghosts. And catching them? I just grab them with my hands. They’re light as feathers, really—it’s easy.”

System: ? Uh?

Σ(っ °Д °;)っ WHA?!
