People are in Honkai Impact 3rd, there's a villain simulator.

Just like Jojo, Aponia nervously lowered her hands and stopped what she was doing, and the two of them locked eyes.

If we're talking about people in the Moth Chaser base on Twilight Street who dare to walk straight into JoJo's office without knocking, besides his congressman father, the only other person is JoJo's adoptive sister, Himiko, the captain of the fifth squad of the Moth Chaser.

Upon seeing Himiko's sudden visit, Qiaoqiao dared not be negligent and straightened up, saying, "...Himiko-neechan, what brings you here all of a sudden?"

Normally, when Himiko came to visit, Jojo should have stood up and bowed, but no matter how you look at it, he was not in a position to stand up.

Himiko, seemingly caught up in her hasty visit, failed to notice Jojo's unusual behavior.

The Moth Chaser has recently discovered many Honkai patients in Twilight Street, which is no small matter. Therefore, Himiko personally came to her door to urge JoJo to deal with this matter.

“My dear Father Joe, the Fire Moth has discovered that many Honkai patients have appeared in your jurisdiction. They have already dispatched the ‘Poison Pupa,’ which is an assassination squad.” Himiko said, sitting in her chair, “You must take this seriously. Once the Poison Pupa discovers that there are infected people in Twilight Street, they will kill them all without exception.”

Upon hearing Himiko's advice, not only did Jojo not dare to be negligent, but Aponia, who was under the table, was obviously even more anxious than Jojo. The table suddenly shook, which Jojo managed to hold down, but the documents on the table all fell to the ground.

Qiaoqiao straightened up and, in an attempt to change the subject, confidently declared, "Himiko-neechan, don't worry, there will absolutely be no gathering of infected people in my territory."

With Qiaoqiao's assurance, Himiko smiled happily and patted her chest reassuringly: "That's good."

Himiko leisurely surveyed Qiao Qiao, noticing his stiff expression and apparent discomfort: "Qiao Qiao, why does your face look so strange? Are you sick?"

Qiaoqiao quickly waved her hand in denial: "Haha... I'm just feeling a little unwell."

Himiko asked anxiously, "Have you been working too hard lately?"

It's important to know that Himiko and Jojo's mother were very close friends. She had watched Jojo grow up from a young age, and in her eyes, Jojo was just like her son.

"Don't be so busy with work all the time." Himiko looked at Jojo with the same doting eyes she would have for her own child. "Your mother recently mentioned your marriage. You're all grown up now, it's time for you to have a partner. Would you like me to introduce you to a few pretty girls?"

Upon hearing this, Jojo glanced at Aponia under the table, who was also looking at Jojo with a complicated expression.

You see, in this simulated world, Jojo is deeply in love with her. It's impossible for him to accept any other girl.

"Himiko, thank you for your kindness, but I already have someone I like."

Upon hearing this, Himiko's interest was piqued. She was curious about what kind of girl could hold the heart of this spoiled brat, Jojo.

"Are you really not going to reconsider? I know quite a few well-off and educated girls."

Upon hearing this, Qiaoqiao shook her head: "The person I like is a beautiful girl who is as pure, mature and angelic as an angel. She is kind-hearted, gentle and considerate, and has a broad mind that forgives others. I don't want anyone but her."

Upon hearing Qiaoqiao's words, Aponia's eyes dimmed. In fact, if Qiaoqiao hadn't suddenly threatened her today, she would have had feelings for him. After all, he had been silently supporting her all these years. Whenever the sanatorium encountered problems, she would seek help from Qiaoqiao, and Qiaoqiao had indeed helped her a lot.

It's truly rare to have such a reliable man.

She knew about Qiaoqiao's feelings for her, but she always treated Qiaoqiao as a friend.

Now, Jojo is using the children at the nursing home to blackmail him, and their relationship can no longer be that of simple friends.

Once the children in the sanatorium have fully recovered, she will make Qiao Qiao take responsibility for her sins, even if it means her own death.

Seeing that Qiao Qiao already had someone she liked, Himiko stopped trying to embarrass herself and looked down at the papers that had fallen to the ground.

"Qiaoqiao, you're so careless, you've dropped all the documents." Himiko bent down to pick up the documents from the floor, but suddenly noticed something unusual under Qiaoqiao's desk: "Qiaoqiao, why is there a veil under your desk?"

Himiko reached out and ripped off the veil from Aponia's head, causing the table in front of Jojo to shake as if an earthquake had struck.

"Qiaoqiao, what's wrong?"

Himiko saw Jojo desperately pressing down on the trembling table, her finger hovering over her lips in confusion.

"It's nothing..." Qiao Qiao leaned halfway on the table, smiling nonchalantly, "My thigh suddenly cramped up just now."

Hearing this, Himiko breathed a sigh of relief: "You made such a big commotion just now, I thought something had happened."

"Qiaoqiao, why do you have so many problems? Let me see your thighs..."

Himiko greeted Qiao Qiao with a smile: "Does it hurt? Shall I rub it for you?"

Upon hearing this, Qiaoqiao quickly waved her hand at Himiko: "No need, I can massage it myself."

After saying that, Jojo chuckled and stroked Aponia's silky chestnut hair.

Seeing Qiao Qiao's awkward smile, Himiko smiled indulgently: "Alright, alright, Qiao Qiao is a big girl now, she doesn't need me to take care of her anymore. But you must remember not to let the Poison Chrysalis find the source of Honkai infection in your territory."

Chapter Thirty Miss Aponia's Master

"Qiaoqiao, we haven't seen each other in so long, how about we go grab a drink together?"

Himiko, a drunkard, is currently in JoJo's office, but her soul has already flown to the tavern.

But no matter what, Jojo couldn't get away from going to the tavern with Himiko.

"Let's just forget about it. If my girlfriend knew I was drinking with a girl, she would definitely be jealous."

Aponia raised an eyebrow slightly. "When did I become your girlfriend?"

Jojo trembled slightly as Aponia's anger flared.

Seeing Qiao Qiao's strange expression, Himiko walked to the desk, lifted Qiao Qiao's bangs, and pressed her forehead against Qiao Qiao's forehead to feel his body temperature.

"That's strange, you don't have a fever."

Feeling the warmth emanating from Himiko's forehead, Jojo was so nervous that she didn't dare to breathe, and Aponia didn't dare to cause any more trouble for Jojo.

If their deal were exposed, not only would Jojo be forced to step down from his priesthood, but the children at the sanatorium would also surely die.

Finally, Himiko released Qiao Qiao's hair, smiled slightly, and said, "Qiao Qiao, you must take good care of your health."

"Yes, Himiko-neechan, I hope you can help me apply for a batch of medical supplies."

Hearing this, Himiko frowned slightly: "That's not difficult to arrange, but what do you need medical supplies for? Could it be...?"

Seeing that Himiko had become suspicious, Qiaoqiao pretended to be calm and explained, "That's not the case. Some of the children in our neighborhood sanatorium have contracted a contagious disease, which has nothing to do with Honkai disease."

Himiko breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this: "Qiaoqiao, I'm relieved to hear you say that. But you must understand that the Honkai disease is far more terrifying than you imagine. If the source of infection is not dealt with in time, the damage will be devastating. Although the methods of the Fire Moth are a bit extreme, they are the most effective."

Disease has always been one of humanity's most formidable enemies, regardless of the era.

Honkai disease, like the zombies and Honkai beasts, is one of the means by which Honkai wipes out human civilization. It has a 100% mortality rate and is extremely contagious. No treatment has been invented in this era, so it is no wonder that the Fire Moth sent the poisonous pupae to clear out the source of infection.

Even though JoJo's father is a member of the Moth Chaser faction, if he is found to be protecting Honkai patients, the entire family will be affected, and JoJo's life will probably be ruined as a result.

“I understand, Himiko-neechan. You know me. I would never do anything to harm myself or my family.”

"Hmm." Himiko nodded in satisfaction. "In that case, I'll be going now."

After saying that, Himiko turned and left, closing the door to JoJo's office.

[Congratulations, host, you have obtained 500 crystals. The 'Equivalent Exchange' talent has been triggered, granting you one opportunity to 'Duplicate Items'.]

Jojo breathed a sigh of relief only after confirming that she hadn't turned back. She slumped into her chair, feeling utterly exhausted. It had been a close call; thankfully, they hadn't been discovered, or both she and Aponia would have been doomed.

“Aponia, you did a great job just now, come out.”

Upon hearing Jojo's order, Aponia emerged from under the table, wiped her mouth with a tissue, and said with a complicated expression, "Jojo, I overheard your conversation with her. It seems you really want to help the children at the nursing home."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Qiao sneered and said, "This is a deal between you and me. I will help you cure the children in the sanatorium. In return, you must treat me like God and serve me well, like a slave who cannot disobey my orders."

Aponia frowned, clenched her fists, and asked with a hint of doubt, "Jojo, do you really have a way to cure those children's illnesses?"

“Of course,” Qiao Qiao replied calmly. “I have a way to create an antidote for Honkai disease.”

"Qiaoqiao, since you have the formula for this antidote, why don't you publish it? This will definitely help more Honkai patients."

Jojo was speechless for a moment. He hadn’t expected that Aponia, who was now being forced into a corner and barely able to protect herself, would still be thinking about the life and death of all mankind.

However... saving all of humanity, as she described, is something JoJo cannot do at the moment.

He did know how to create a cure for Honkai, but it required a huge amount of resources. Even if he drank his father's blood, he could only meet the needs of the patients in the sanatorium. It was completely impossible to save Honkai patients all over the world.

However, JoJo now has another way to easily obtain the rare antidote for Honkai. One of his talents is equivalent substitution, which allows him to 'copy' items as long as he meets the conditions for doing bad things. This ability is somewhat similar to the Herrscher of Reason, but it can only be used once.

As long as JoJo continues to play the villain and does bad things, she will probably soon get enough Honkai energy antidote to save the children in the sanatorium.

“My method of production is very special, and only I can do it. Even if I tell the antidote formula to others, it will be impossible to mass-produce it,” Jojo said calmly. “If you want the children from the alcohol sanatorium, remember to keep our deal a secret.”

Qiao Qiao knew very well that once the fact that she could create the antidote was leaked, someone would try to seize it by any means in order to survive, causing a terrible chaos. She herself could be safe thanks to her family, but the children in the sanatorium would definitely die.

After realizing that Jojo had his own unspeakable difficulties, Aponia no longer asked him to reveal the formula to help more people. She clasped her hands tightly in front of her chest and said sincerely to Jojo, "Then... please help those poor children as promised."

Hearing Aponia's expression, which seemed to be praying to a god, Jojo felt very pleased.

That's the expression he wanted to see.

This expression shows that she is treated as a deity, someone to be worshipped.

The gods cannot help Aponia save the children in the nursing home, but Jojo can.

“According to my investigation, there are 30 children suffering from Honkai disease in your sanatorium. I can help you treat them, but the entire treatment will take about three months.” Jojo reached out and touched Aponia’s beautiful face, saying, “I told you, if you want my power, you must pay the corresponding price.”

Aponia felt the coldness of Jojo's palm and reluctantly looked away, but she already knew that Jojo would never help her without asking for anything in return.

She knew perfectly well what he wanted.

Now that things have come to this point, she has no intention of stopping. She is willing to make any sacrifice as long as she can save the children in the nursing home.

“I understand. Until you heal the children in the nursing home, I will continue to ‘serve’ you as I do today.”

Upon hearing Aponia's words, Jojo's lips curled into a smug expression, and she immediately used her ability of equivalent substitution to obtain the anti-Honkai serum.

Looking at the blue potion floating in Jojo's hand, Aponia's ethereal eyes gleamed: "Jojo, please give me the antidote."

But Jojo did not immediately agree to Aponia's sincere request. Instead, he gently placed his finger on her rosy lips.

“I will keep my promise, but in exchange…” Jojo gently stroked her hair, “I hope you can finish what you have to say.”

Hearing this, Aponia lowered her head shyly, then reluctantly looked up at Jojo: "Please...give me the antidote, my master."

Chapter Thirty-One: Me, Aponia's Future Husband!

After making a deal with Aponia, you drove her to the sanatorium in a brand-new sports car.

[In the sanatorium, you injected the immobile little girl lying on her sickbed with anti-Honkai serum. After the little girl's condition was saved, Aponia's face lit up with joy. She finally felt that her efforts had paid off and happily embraced the little girl.]

The girl, who had been on the verge of death, regained consciousness and immediately threw herself into Aponia's broad embrace. Having escaped death, she cried out happily, "I was so scared, Mommy Aponia!"

Aponia gently patted the little girl's back, tears welling in her eyes, and tenderly comforted her, saying, "It's okay, I'm here. I won't let anything happen to you."

You watched them embrace, mother and daughter, your expression indifferent as you packed up your medical supplies, like a complete detached outsider. Because you knew perfectly well that your motives for helping her weren't pure; it was simply to obtain Aponia.

Just as you were packing up your gear to leave, the little girl reached out and grabbed your hand, a bright smile on her face: "Thank you, Father Jojo."

Hearing the girl's innocent words, Aponia's expression became complicated. Unwilling to let the child know the price she had paid to restore her health, she could only glance away and say to you emotionlessly, "Thank you."
