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

"What?" Qiaoqiao turned to look at the curious Yulandel, and teased her with a smile, "Are you jealous?"

"No way! What business is it of mine if you call out other women's names?"

With mixed feelings, Durandal turned his head away. If Jojo hadn't killed the people from the Destiny Base and forced him to serve her, there might have been a possibility for things to go further between them. But the moment he used his companions to blackmail him into submission, there was no longer any possibility between Durandal and Jojo.

"I'm just curious what her name is?"

Yulandel said with a touch of arrogance.

Jojo, however, gazed at Durandal with a slightly affectionate look, picked up a bottle of vodka from the side, took a swig, and said, "Her name is Kiana..."

"Kiana Kaslana."

When Yulandel heard Qiaoqiao's deep voice, her heart ached as if someone had grabbed it. She had never seen Qiaoqiao show such a deep and nostalgic expression before.

"Kiana..."

Yulandel repeated the name that Qiaoqiao had said. For some reason, she felt that the name was very familiar and she was unwilling to forget it.

"Who...is she to you?"

Qiao Qiao smiled sadly: "She is my childhood sweetheart, my fiancée, and the person I love."

Upon hearing Jojo say that he liked the woman named Kiana, Durandal's last shred of illusion about Jojo shattered completely. He had kept saying he liked me, but in the end... it was all a lie! He just wanted to toy with my feelings and body. I was truly blinded by greed; how could I believe that a World Serpent executive could genuinely love me?!

"...You clearly have someone you like, yet you still have the nerve to do this kind of thing with me?!"

Yulandel didn't know why, but knowing that Qiaoqiao liked other women made her extremely angry.

Seeing Durandal's angry expression, Jojo's face turned somewhat desolate, and she said with a hint of melancholy, "Actually, you don't need to care about that woman, after all, she's already dead..."

Jojo wasn't lying to Durandal; Kiana died the moment Durandal was born...

The current Durandal has no memory of being with me, and has a brand new life that is even better than the one I had with him when he was a World Serpent executive.

When she heard Qiao Qiao say that the woman he thought about even in his dreams was dead, Youlandai was slightly stunned, her feelings were very complicated. She did not mean to touch Qiao Qiao's sore spot, after all, she did not know that Qiao Qiao's beloved was dead.

At the same time, she felt a sense of relief. She felt some sympathy for Qiaoqiao for losing her beloved, but not much; she was more secretly pleased.

But she soon lost her joy. After all, with her beloved gone, Qiaoqiao would never forget her unrequited first love. No one can defeat someone who is already dead.

The moonlight outside the window at night was as pale and cold as white jade. Qiao Qiao put down her wine glass and said, "I will keep my promise and rescue your companion. Our conversation ends here tonight."

As soon as she finished speaking, Qiaoqiao got up and walked out the door, leaving Youlandail alone wrapped in a white sheet, thrown into the cold torture chamber: "Qiaoqiao...you big bad guy, you were so enthusiastic to me just now, how come the clothes on the bed turned on you and left me here alone?"

Jojo walked to the cold, heavy iron door of the torture chamber, holding a special card costume in her hand—[Platinum Star].

The data description that only JoJo can see appears above this card's Mystic Code.

This card has the effect of rewriting history. As long as the host sacrifices their life and still has a large amount of Honkai energy, they can rewrite the history of the simulated world.

[Note: Writing world history requires burning the Honkai energy possessed by the host; therefore, the more Honkai energy, the longer the time required to rewrite the world.]

[Note 2: When the host sacrifices their life to rewrite history, their existence will also disappear along with the timeline. Only the person who possesses this card's Mystic Code can resist the timeline changes and retain their memories.]

JoJo currently possesses the core of the Herrscher of Wind within her body, which can provide a continuous source of Honkai energy by connecting to the Imaginary Tree.

As for sacrificing one's life... Qiao Qiao isn't afraid at all. After all, even if she dies in the simulator, she'll wake up in reality and be a hero again.

But before he dies, he wants to make amends to Durandal, whom he deeply loves in this timeline.

To fulfill his greatest wish in this life: to resurrect his fiancée, Kiana Kaslana.

"We'll see each other again soon... my bride."

Chapter 138 The Beautiful Hat Durandal Gave to the Jackal

For a long time, the World Serpents have lurked in the darkness, attempting to welcome the Lord back from the Sea of ​​Quanta and carry out the Stigmata Project.

The Stigmata Project will inevitably overturn the current human civilization, and the destruction of the entire civilization will undoubtedly threaten the rule of destiny over the world today.

Although the World Serpent doesn't openly turn against Destiny like Anti-Entropy, they are constantly fighting behind the scenes.

World Serpent possesses greater resources and power than Schicksal and Anti-Entropy, making it undoubtedly the greatest enemy threatening Schicksal's rule. Schicksal, in turn, is a stumbling block on World Serpent's path to implementing the Stigmata Project, making it a true "enemy."

The World Serpent executives never show mercy to members of the enemy; many defeated Valkyries are personally interrogated and dealt with by Jojo, the actual controller of the prison tower.

As the highest-ranking officer and sole interrogator of the World Serpent, Jojo has accumulated numerous merits.

Completely tame Durandal, the strongest Valkyrie of Destiny;

He obtained the military deployment map of destiny from Durandal;

Conquer Cocolia, the acting leader of the Anti-Entropy Alliance, and obtain the "Reformist" fleet;

Defeat the Fourth Herrscher and obtain the Herrscher of Wind Core;

Destroy the military base of Destiny in New Zealand.

These five achievements have greatly contributed to the development and growth of World Serpent. Any one of them would be an achievement that would be unattainable for any World Serpent member, yet Qiao Qiao has gathered all these highest honors upon herself.

Every member of the World Snakes must respectfully call JoJo a "model worker" when they see her achievements.

But tonight... just as Qiao Qiao was holding his victory celebration, the prison tower he was guarding was attacked by intruders.

Taking advantage of the World Serpent's weakened defenses due to their victory celebration, the intruder entered the prison tower wearing a mask to steal people. Her identity was unknown, but she was quite powerful. Although she was repelled by the combined efforts of World Serpent members "Feather Rabbit" and "Grey Serpent," she managed to escape.

As the actual controller of the prison tower, Jojo bears undeniable responsibility for the breach and should have immediately ordered his subordinates to capture the intruders.

But even two hours after the prison tower was invaded by the mysterious intruder, Jojo has not taken any responsibility or captured the intruders, and hasn't even shown her face.

Although Qiaoqiao has made significant contributions to the World Serpent and is now second only to the Lord, standing shoulder to shoulder with Yu Tu and Hui She, she is too arrogant and despicable to ignore the prison break caused by her dereliction of duty, relying on her status, position, achievements and abilities!

Cleo Hypatia, the "Jackal" with flowing black hair like black brocade and wearing a black mask, sat in front of Jojo's office, trying to find Jojo's current whereabouts through the computer.

Despite her outstanding achievements as a high-ranking officer of World Serpent, JoJo has always been only thinking about slacking off. In order to better extract information, she has made deals with many Valkyries who are imprisoned. As long as they are willing to do what JoJo says, reveal information, and help JoJo handle special needs, they can easily get what they want, whether it is freedom or something else.

This trick never fails. As long as they mention that they can escape the World Serpent base and rescue their companions, those Valkyries who were originally determined to fight to the death will suddenly become like different people, revealing the softer parts of their hearts and obediently revealing the information, letting JoJo play with them like puppets.

As for what services JoJo would have these young, beautiful, and shapely Valkyries provide for him, even if it weren't explicitly stated, everyone should already know perfectly well.

This is how Jojo, despite seemingly slacking off, still managed to obtain intelligence through "secret collusion with the enemy" and gradually climb to the center of power in the World Serpent.

Qiao Qiao also understood that once World Serpent discovered his "methods," he would be hunted down by World Serpent and would surely die. Therefore, his computer had taken sufficient protective measures against his own people, so even if Jackal used hacking techniques to infiltrate it, he would not be able to find any useful information.

Jackal frantically searched through Qiaoqiao's computer, but not only did he not find the surveillance footage of his disappearance, but even the addresses of the pornographic websites he usually browsed were completely deleted, leaving only some profound academic papers.

Furious at finding nothing in the computer records, the jackal nearly threw the mouse and keyboard.

The World Serpent members who searched Jojo's mansion returned and reported back to Jackal, but found nothing.

Jackal sat in Jojo's office chair, pondering to himself. If it were just Jojo who disappeared, it would be one thing, but now even his most important prisoner, Durandal, had vanished without a trace.

Jackal would never believe that there was nothing fishy going on between the two of them.

But the surveillance footage from the World Serpent Base showed nothing unusual. How did the two of them disappear from this mansion?

As a world-leading scientist, Jackal is naturally very intelligent and knowledgeable; otherwise, she could not have become one of the world's top snake executives.

The jackal carefully observed Jojo's clean and tidy office. There was no reason for Jojo and Durandal, two perfectly healthy people, to suddenly vanish from the mansion...

There must be some hidden mechanism lurking somewhere in this mansion...

Jackal began to explore Qiaoqiao's room based on her past experience. When she tapped on the wall with her slender hand, she keenly noticed that the right wall of Qiaoqiao's office was hollow. A smug smile appeared on her lips as she gave instructions to her subordinates behind her.

"Move this bookshelf away right now!"

"Yes!"

World Serpent, wearing a mask, had his burly subordinates move the bookshelves filled with books according to Jackal's orders. Jackal watched leisurely from the side, a slight smile playing on his lips. Knowing Jojo as he did, he was certain that a secret room was hidden behind those bookshelves.

Sure enough, after the people who worked with the World Serpent moved the bookshelf, a secret was indeed hidden behind it (because...).

It was a bronze security door, the exposed blue paint covered with reddish rust, looking quite old.

"Open this door for me right now!"

The World Serpent continued its arrogant and domineering commands, but the World Serpent's tools dared not make a move. After all, this was the secret room of Jojo, the highest-ranking executive of the World Serpent. If Jojo found out that they had disturbed her private door, she would definitely tie them all to rough and uneven wooden boards and torture them to death with the most vicious interrogation methods!

Seeing the burly men standing before the bronze gate, too afraid to make a move, the jackal clicked his tongue in disdain: "Just one Qiao Qiao and you're all this scared?! A bunch of cowardly cowards who are all bark and no bite!"

"I want to see what kind of good thing Qiaoqiao and that bitch Yulandal are doing in there!!"

As she spoke, Jackal intended to open the door herself, but as her hand was about to grasp the handle, she hesitated. She and Jojo were both top executives of the World Serpent, and in theory, she didn't need to fear Jojo like the other World Serpent tools.

But if he forces the door open, and nothing happens between Jojo and Durandal... he's just interrogating and torturing the Valkyrie of Destiny according to his duty.

So... how am I supposed to explain to Qiaoqiao that I suddenly barged in?

If I can't explain it clearly, not only will I be held accountable for Qiaoqiao's actions, but I myself will also be blamed by her.

After much deliberation, Jackal decided not to open the torture chamber door rashly. Instead, he waved to the World Serpent tool behind him and said, "You all get out of here now. I'll stay here and wait for Jojo to come out."

Upon receiving Jackal's order, the World Serpent tools breathed a sigh of relief. They couldn't afford to offend Jojo, nor could they disobey Jackal's orders. Being able to leave safely was already the best outcome.

After those world-snake tools left, the jackal stood alone before the rusty bronze prison door, his mind beginning to wander.

Jojo and Durandal, a man and a woman alone together... why are they hiding in this torture chamber and not coming out...?

Could it be... that the two of them are inside now...?

Thinking of this, Jackal immediately shook his head, interrupting his thoughts, as if any unfounded speculation would be a desecration of Qiaoqiao, and all his longing and yearning for her would be shattered.

"No way... Jojo is a high-ranking member of World Serpent, how could she be entangled with a woman destined for destiny?!"

The jackal nervously muttered to itself.

When Jojo first arrived at the World Serpent, the Jackal felt intense jealousy and hatred towards the boy who had taken her position as director of the World Serpent Research Institute. She secretly regarded him as her rival and was constantly thinking about defeating him, making him kneel before her like a defeated dog, lick her feet like a slave, and swear his loyalty to her.

No matter how hard she tried, Qiao Qiao stood in her way like an insurmountable mountain, impossible to cross. His scientific achievements were several eras ahead of their time; he was the smartest man she had ever seen, and also the most handsome...

Just looking at his handsome face, the jackal felt completely captivated.

Gradually... Jackal found that she could no longer take her eyes off Qiao Qiao. Although she always regarded Qiao Qiao as a rival that she had to defeat, in reality, she had already unknowingly fallen for him while watching him.

What she thought was a desire to defeat Qiaoqiao was actually just a wish for him to see her and recognize her talent.

The thought that Qiaoqiao might fall for another woman made Hulang extremely flustered, and beads of sweat appeared on her pretty face. But then she thought again that she was just being paranoid.

Jackal took out a photo of herself and Qiaoqiao from her pocket. It was a chance encounter; Qiaoqiao happened to be asleep in the lab, so she rested Qiaoqiao's head on her shoulder and secretly took a picture, which she has kept ever since.

Looking at the photo of himself and Qiaoqiao, Jackal's previously flustered expression turned into a smile.

Jackal has always been very confident in all her assets. She is one of the world's top scientists, with a brilliant mind. Although she is a little older than Qiaoqiao, she has a pretty face and a voluptuous figure. At a young age, she became the highest-ranking official of the World Snake and has countless assets under her name. She is an absolute rich woman.

In this world, besides herself, there is no one else who is worthy to stand beside Qiaoqiao...
