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

Isn't he definitely a bad person?

Seeing Rita's anxious expression, Otto said slowly, "In short, your most important task right now is to capture that female fox, Cocolia. We'll talk about other things later."

Rita, having received Otto's order, nodded and bowed respectfully, saying, "Yes, Your Excellency."

Then, the warship lost communication with the Destiny headquarters, and Riot's image on the screen disappeared. A young Valkyrie walked in carrying a cup of red tea.

"Lady Rita, you must be tired after the battle." The Valkyrie handed over the black tea on the plate: "This is black tea that I brewed for you myself. Please try it."

"Thank you for the tea." Rita smiled kindly at the young Valkyrie and took the teacup filled with black tea from her hand. But when she looked at the dark and shiny tea, she couldn't help but think of how she had served Durandal before.

The thought of Durandal completely extinguished Rita's appetite for tea. She put the tea aside and ordered the Valkyrie behind her, "You should go back to work."

"Yes, Lady Rita."

After the young Valkyrie left, Rita looked at the black tea in her cup with a forlorn expression, feeling a pang of nostalgia.

Lady Durandal... you must be safe and sound...

Chapter Ninety-Four: The Plan to Win Over the Mother-in-Law (4k)

After you rescued her from the jackal's testing ground, Durandal received one of the Sixth Divine Keys from you—the Holy Lance, a weapon with the power of creation. But the moment she caught the Holy Lance, a hint of ferocity seemed to appear in her eyes.

Hey Hey hey!

I just gave you the antidote for Honkai serum and the Divine Key, and you want to turn your back on me?

That's way too hasty!

Qiaoqiao really felt that this life simulator was really too much. Durandal was a strong-willed person, so when she saw a chance to survive, she would naturally seize it without hesitation.

However, JoJo isn't afraid that Durandal will kill him, since he will only awaken in reality after his death.

Durandal gripped her holy lance tightly, unwilling to let the hope of escape slip away, vowing to rid the world of such a heinous villain as you.

[You noticed the murderous intent in Durandal's eyes and casually reminded her, "Your Excellency Durandal, rest assured, once I obtain what I desire, I will naturally set your companions free."]

[But even in the end, she couldn't bring herself to attack you. Concealing the cold glint in her eyes, Durandal had to adopt a respectful attitude towards you for the sake of the other trapped members of the Undying Blade, saying, "This Divine Key is very important to me. Thank you for getting it back for me."]

[It's not that she has special feelings for you that prevents her from harming you, but rather that you have many members of the Undying Blade in your hands. If you weren't there, the other executives of World Serpent certainly wouldn't show mercy to the Valkyrie, who is their enemy.]

It seems that although Durandal is single-minded, she is not stupid.

With just a Divine Key and her current strength that hasn't fully recovered, even if she could kill Jojo and escape, there's absolutely no chance of rescuing her other companions.

It seems... this good show can continue.

Seeing Durandal's submissive demeanor, you nodded in satisfaction. What's next...?

[Option 1: He waved to her casually and said, "Miss Durandal, no need to be so polite. This weapon originally belonged to you; I'm simply returning it to its rightful owner."]

[Option 2: Stroking her pretty, delicate face, he said with a mischievous smile, "I've returned such a precious thing as the Divine Key to you, how do you want to repay me?"]

[Option 3: Reach out and stroke her beautiful legs, teasing her lightly, "If you feel bad about it, come to my room tonight, and I'll teach you how to 'climb the ladder'!"]

Qiaoqiao chose the second option, reached out and stroked the beautiful curves of her delicate face, smiled slightly and said, "I've returned something as precious as the Divine Key to you, how do you want to repay me?"

[Congratulations, host, you have received 100 crystals.]

Normally, if any other man made such a frivolous move towards Durandal, she would definitely think that the other person was sick. But perhaps because of the gentle "training" she had received from Qiao Qiao, Durandal actually felt that Qiao Qiao's frivolous tone and handsome face were not at all out of place.

"Then..." Durandal asked, somewhat surprised, "how do you want me to repay you?"

Option 1: Reach out and remove her clothes, saying with a wicked grin, "Pay back with your body."

[Option 2: Grab Durandal's shoulders and say with heart-wrenching pain, "Durandal, you owe me something I can never repay!"]

[Option 3: Put chains on her to restrict her movement and say, "Come with me like this, and we'll go find the Herrscher of the Wind together."]

Looking at the three options in front of her, Qiaoqiao took out a silver chain with iron handcuffs attached.

He didn't know why he carried such restraints with him; perhaps it was a tool required by the interrogators.

Qiaoqiao chained Yulandal's fair, slender hands and gently tugged at the chains: "Okay, you'll come with me like this, chained up."

Upon hearing that she would be leaving with you in chains, Durandal immediately panicked. Being led around like a pet was fine in private, but if others saw her like this, she would lose all face.

"You..." Durandal stammered, "Where do you want to take me?!"

Upon hearing this, Qiao Qiao smiled slightly, glanced at her out of the corner of her eye, and said, "Come with me to find the Herrscher of Wind."

[Congratulations, host, you have received 100 crystals.]

[You requested permission from Gray Serpent to take Durandal out of the World Serpent Base under the pretext of needing outdoor training. Gray Serpent believed that doing so would inflict the ultimate humiliation on Durandal and accelerate the training process, so they approved your request.]

As usual, Jackal stood up to contradict you. You weren't quite sure what you'd done to offend her, or if she was just trying to get your attention. To appease her, you offered to let her watch, but she refused, turning away embarrassedly and saying, "I won't get involved in something so perverted!"

After taking Durandal out of the World Serpent base, you boarded a warship on the rooftop of a building and arrived at the ME headquarters under Anti-Entropy's control.

After Welt, the leader of Anti-Entropy, disappeared in the Sea of ​​Quanta, actual control of Anti-Entropy gradually fell into the hands of the Reformers, whose leader was none other than Bronya's adoptive mother, Cocolia.

Cocolia is a complex character, both righteous and wicked. Born in Russia, she possesses the steely resolve of a soldier, yet also a profound maternal love. She has deep empathy for children suffering greatly, but she is willing to harm others to protect the children she has adopted.

JoJo doesn't want to judge Cocolia's merits and demerits. These things will naturally be evaluated by future generations after the Fourth Honkai Impact, or after the Honkai Impact ends and the world is at peace.

Although it's just a simulation, Jojo is undoubtedly living in an era ravaged by Honkai. What he needs to do is not to criticize others, but to actually deal with the upcoming fourth Honkai.

JoJo wants to seize the power of the Herrscher of Wind, just like before, and make it her own. This way, even her real-world self can be strengthened, and the Fourth Honkai Impact 3rd can be prevented from having too much of an impact.

That's killing two birds with one stone.

To seize the power of the Herrscher of Wind requires defying destiny, which is no easy task.

Therefore, Qiaoqiao wanted to rely on the strength of others, since it was much easier to achieve success through borrowed resources than through hard work on her own.

Entropy, which has always been at odds with Destiny, would be a good partner.

Therefore, Qiao Qiao plans to use her own methods to win over Ms. Cocolia, the current leader of Anti-Entropy.

During the time that Anti-Entropy was being pursued by Destiny, the ME headquarters that she seized from Raiden Ryoma is her current hiding place.

[You concealed your identity as a World Serpent executive and infiltrated ME Corporation headquarters as a medical science doctor.]

[Starting with the "King of a Hundred Hats Lv2" talent, the host assumes the role of a "doctor," and the minds of those they come into contact with have been modified to recognize you as a world-class medical expert.]

[Thanks to your status as a world-class medical scientist, you easily gained access to the ME Corporation headquarters for a tour, bringing Durandal along as your assistant.]

If the World Serpent's executives were to take the Valkyrie of Destiny to Anti-Entropy, they would be killed by the people of Anti-Entropy if they were discovered.

In the Anti-Entropy lobby, you leisurely sipped a pot of fine Pu'er tea. Durandal, however, was frantic, like a cat on a hot tin roof. After all, she, a Valkyrie of Destiny, was now in Anti-Entropy, with World Serpent executives by her side—both originally Destiny's mortal enemies. Anyone would feel their current situation was utterly unfamiliar and fraught with danger.

Durandal sat opposite Jojo, one hand on the table and the other holding a pure white lance: "Jojo, didn't you say that the Fourth Honkai was about to happen and you wanted me to help you seize the core of the Herrscher of Wind? Why did you suddenly bring me to the Anti-Entropy Research Institute?"

Qiao Qiao poured a cup of Pu'er tea and pushed it in front of Durandal, saying, "Have some tea to cool down. You need to know that the strength of the Herrschers is extraordinary. Each one has the power to destroy human civilization. Your strength has not fully recovered yet, so I want to find someone to help me."

"So... your partner is Cocolia from Anti-Entropy?" Durandal finished his tea in one gulp, slammed the teacup down on the table, and said with a solemn expression, "I once heard the bishop say that Cocolia is a woman who will stop at nothing to achieve her goals. People like her are not trustworthy at all and could betray you at any time."

Durandal believes that JoJo's plan to seize Herrscher powers could fail at any time due to Cocolia's betrayal.

But Jojo had played the game before, so she knew that the final winner of the Fourth Honkai Impact was neither Destiny nor World Serpent.

It was Cocolia...she was the last person to obtain the Herrscher Core.

If Jojo could get Cocolia's help, it would not only increase her ally but also reduce one of her strongest enemies.

JoJo's words reminded Durandal of herself; wasn't she only cooperating with JoJo now because of her companions?

“That’s not necessarily true…” Qiao Qiao finished a cup of Pu’er tea and shook her head. “Everyone has people or things they care about. As long as I can control what Cocolia values ​​most, I can make her obey me.”

"Do you know what Cocolia values ​​most?"

“Yes.” Qiao Qiao put down her teacup and nodded, saying, “People have one or more faces. You know Cocolia as a ruthless and unscrupulous leader of Anti-Entropy, but I know another side of her—building an orphanage in her hometown to take in homeless children, being both their teacher and their mother…”

"You didn't expect that, did you?" Qiao Qiao said with a smile, "A woman who would do anything for her is actually just a mother who loves her daughter."

Others might not know these little secrets about Cocolia.

But for Qiaoqiao, who had played the game, these weren't even secrets.

Actually, Jojo's impression of Cocolia wasn't too bad, after all, she was Bronya and Seele's mother.

Since Bronya and Seele are both his wives in the game, she can be considered half his...mother-in-law.

Thinking about it carefully, I realized that I actually wanted to use what she considered most important to scheme against my mother-in-law. How despicable of me!

However... it's just a simulation after all. As long as she can get the reward, Qiaoqiao is happy to be a bad guy in the virtual world.

Cocolia actually built an orphanage in Siberia to adopt children.

This information about Cocolia was unknown to Durandal.

Perhaps the bishop destined to know will find out, but although Durandal is powerful, she is ultimately just Otto's employee, so it's perfectly normal that she wouldn't know some confidential information.

Durandal did not doubt the truthfulness of Jojo's words, because she knew the World Serpent's intelligence-gathering ability; if he prepared in advance, it would be easy for him to find out any secret.

"So what do you want to do to Cocolia's child?"

Durandal raised an eyebrow and asked with some curiosity.

"What do you say?"

"Could it be..." Durandal's face showed a hint of horror, "that you want to kidnap Cocolia's child to threaten her? Or that you want to train her child to be your slave?"

Upon hearing this, Qiaoqiao almost choked on her tea and spat it out.

"On the contrary... just you wait and see."

Jojo didn't want to use the same methods he used to tame Durandal when dealing with Cocolia, the mother fox. He knew very well that Cocolia valued her daughters the most.

Then I'll win over her daughters and increase my mother-in-law's favorability so that she'll willingly hand over the core of the Herrscher of Wind.

Okay... I'll wait and see.

I really hope to see you get your comeuppance!

Durandal thought to herself, then said to JoJo, "I have a question. Cocolia is a very busy person in Anti-Entropy. You came in by hiding your identity as a World Serpent executive... Your current identity is just an ordinary doctor. Cocolia will never see you. Have you thought about how to meet her?"

“Haha…” Qiao Qiao laughed upon hearing this, then said in a low voice, “Now that I’ve come to Anti-Entropy, I must have already figured out a way to recruit Cocolia.”

Durandal suddenly sensed a strange look in Jojo's eyes.

What is this wicked man planning to do to me now?

After spending so much time together, Durandal had been manipulated by JoJo far too many times. Eventually, she could tell from just a glance that JoJo was up to no good.

Durandal asked curiously, "What methods do you intend to use to meet Cocolia?"
