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

Jackal stroked the intimate photo of himself and Qiaoqiao with his slender fingers, letting out a soft sigh of relief: "That's right... I'm the world's top scientist, intelligent and beautiful, with a voluptuous figure and immense wealth. Only I am worthy of Qiaoqiao. How could he possibly be interested in a silly girl from heaven who has nothing but martial arts skills..."

Jackal was confident that Jojo would never abandon him for Durandal, so he contentedly put away the photo of the two of them and continued to wait outside the torture chamber.

Two hours later...

The jackal paced anxiously back and forth outside the door, its silvery-white teeth clenching its nails tightly.

What on earth is going on? If Jojo was just interrogating Durandal, why did it take so long?

Thinking of this, the jackal's heart began to stir with unease again. He hurriedly went up, grabbed the doorknob, and tried to open it with force.

The gate remained completely still.

Jackal's delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly. Qiaoqiao had actually locked the door to this secret room?!

Wait a minute... If it were interrogation, why would Qiaoqiao lock the cell door?

Could it be that he's doing something shady inside?

She was really in there with that bitch Durandal...

The jackal felt as if he had been given a bright green hat. He moved closer to the cold bronze door and used all his strength to open it.

No matter how hard the jackal tried, her power as a scientist was still limited, and the sturdy prison door remained unmoved from beginning to end.

Suddenly, as the jackal forcefully opened the door, she heard a faint cry from behind the bronze door. This startled the jackal, who turned pale and frantically knocked on the door while shouting.

"Qiaoqiao, open the door! What are you doing in there with Yulandal?! Open the door now!"

Just as the jackal was struggling to turn the doorknob to open the door, the bronze iron door, which had been completely still, opened from the inside.

Through the narrow gap in the bronze and iron gates, the jackal could only see Durandal somewhat nervously opening the door and revealing her face. Her eyes darted around, avoiding eye contact with the jackal. Fine beads of sweat appeared on her slightly flushed face, and her breathing was somewhat rapid, as if she were very tired.

What the jackal couldn't see was that, in the shadows, Jojo's figure was standing right behind Durandal...

Chapter 139 Jackal: Jojo, there's no way you and Durandal can be together!

Although Jackal outwardly treats Jojo as a rival, he has secretly harbored feelings for her deep down. As a woman, she is quite confident in her looks and figure, possesses a world-class scientific mind, and has countless assets, making her a true heiress.

In Jackal's eyes, he was the perfect match for Jojo. Even if he didn't confess his feelings, given time, Jojo would surely understand his charm and pledge her loyalty to him.

Unexpectedly, she stumbled upon Yulandal and Jojo having a secret rendezvous in the secret room today, which made Jackal feel as distressed as if his beloved doll had been defiled.

"Yulandel, why did you and Qiaoqiao stay in the secret room for so long?!"

The jackal's slender fingers clenched tightly at its waist, its snow-white teeth biting together, its eyes filled with jealousy and hostility as it looked at Yulandal, like a female leopard seeing its natural enemy.

"Nothing happened between Qiaoqiao and me..."

Durandal quickly waved to the jackal and explained, "We're just talking inside."

Yulandel's tone was particularly lacking in confidence, which undoubtedly added fuel to the fire of the jealous jackal.

"If you're just talking to Qiaoqiao, why do you lock the door and not let others disturb you?"

The jackal eyed Yulandal suspiciously.

"this..."

Durandal, as the Valkyrie of Destiny, has always been straightforward and not good at lying. She avoided the jackal's gaze with a strange look in her eyes.

It was this evasive look that convinced the jackal that something unknown must have happened in the secret room.

Jackal angrily pushed open the door to the torture chamber, revealing the dim background inside. Never before had she felt so shaken. The thought that Qiaoqiao, whom she had always loved, might be taken away by another woman made her heart ache as if it were being torn apart.

"Get out of the way! I need to find Qiaoqiao and get the truth out of her!"

The jackal was about to push aside Durandal, who was blocking the door to the torture chamber.

At that moment, Jojo emerged from the darkness, standing beside Durandal, her right arm around her slender waist. A slight smile played on her lips as she said, "Jackal, Durandal and I were merely fulfilling our duties as interrogators in the torture chamber, simply doing our job. We didn't do anything out of line..."

Upon seeing JoJo appear, the jackal, who had been extremely arrogant in front of Durandal, immediately fell silent. After all, Durandal was now just a prisoner of the World Serpent, while JoJo and the jackal were both high-ranking officials of the World Serpent. Moreover, in terms of power, JoJo was even above the jackal. He certainly wouldn't dare to mess around with his superior, especially since... the other party was the object of his affections.

In front of Qiaoqiao, Jackal no longer maintained his arrogant attitude in front of others. Instead, he lowered his voice respectfully and said softly, "Qiaoqiao, I don't suspect you of doing anything outrageous. I'm just afraid that you've been deceived by the woman of destiny."

In Qiaoqiao's memory, Jackal was still the mad scientist who liked to experiment on living people in the original game, the kind of female villain that is common in games.

Jackal was always dissatisfied that Qiaoqiao was less experienced and younger than her, yet she became her boss, and she was always looking for opportunities to outdo Qiaoqiao.

Seeing the jackal's inexplicable concern for her, Qiaoqiao said disdainfully, "You probably want to find something to use against me for having an affair with the Valkyrie of Destiny, so you can get rid of me and take over for yourself, right?"

Seeing that Qiao Qiao doubted his intentions, Jackal hurriedly explained, "You've misunderstood me. We're both executives of World Serpent. I wouldn't frame you for something like this!"

Jackal glared fiercely at Durandal beside Jojo and said, "I'm afraid she's got ulterior motives for getting close to you... Maybe it's that scoundrel Otto using his beauty to seduce you..."

Feeling the jackal's sharp gaze, which was as sharp as a hawk's, Durandal guiltily looked away. Jojo continued to laugh contemptuously: "I am the interrogator of the World Serpent. Being with a Valkyrie like Durandal for interrogation is naturally for the purpose of obtaining information. Don't try to confuse me!"

Hearing Jojo's explanation, Jackal felt very wronged. She harbored suspicions about the ambiguous relationship between Jojo and Durandal, but lacked concrete evidence...

"But...I think I heard a woman screaming outside the door just now..."

Upon hearing the jackal's words, Durandal trembled and lowered her head, her ears turning bright red. Jojo gave Durandal a strange look, but the oddity in her eyes vanished in an instant. She said to the jackal with disdain, "Durandal and I were just fulfilling our duties of interrogation in the torture chamber... Besides... who are you to me? Even if something really happened between Durandal and me, it's none of your business!"

Seeing Qiaoqiao turn her head away angrily, the jackal's heart skipped a beat.

Could it be that nothing really happened between Jojo and Durandal, and it was all just a misunderstanding on my part?

Seeing how resolute Qiao Qiao's words were, Durandal, who had no evidence, felt guilty for doubting Qiao Qiao and said to her with a look of apology, "I'm sorry, Qiao Qiao, I know I misunderstood you, please forgive me!"

"Forgive me?" Qiao Qiao smiled slightly, saying with a hint of sarcasm, "You entered my residence without a word and even caused trouble in my office. Do you think I'll let you off so easily?"

“I know I’ve gone too far, but I have my reasons!” Jackal was helpless against Jojo, his superior, and could only look at Durandal, who was now a prisoner, and said angrily, “It’s all that woman’s fault. She must have taken advantage of the banquet to invade the prison tower and try to rescue her Valkyrie companion.”

Durandal trembled slightly at the Jackal's words. If her attempt to use force to rescue people from the prison tower were exposed, it would definitely attract the pursuit of Feather Rabbit, Gray Snake, and other cadres. Even with JoJo on her side, it would probably be of no use.

Jojo was also startled when the jackal said that Durandal was the one who broke out of prison. She then said to the jackal with a stern expression, "Durandal has been with me since the banquet ended. I can vouch for her. There is no way she could have broken out of the prison tower."

Hearing Jojo's words, Durandal looked up at her, his eyes filled with complex emotions. He was grateful to Jojo for deceiving her companions to save him, but he couldn't forget the little secret that had happened in the torture chamber. He knew that Jojo had only kept the prison break a secret because of that deal, not because she truly liked him...

"How can this be?"

Jackal said with a shocked expression, not believing Jojo's claim that Durandal was not one of the prison breakers.

Qiaoqiao, however, insisted that the jackal did not have any evidence of Durandal's prison break, and said coldly and arrogantly, "You don't believe what I say? So you suspect me of perjury? Or... do you suspect me of being an accomplice in Durandal's prison break?!"

Qiao Qiao glared coldly at the jackal.

Although the Jackal believed that Durandal was the murderer who broke into the prison, as long as Jojo was willing to testify for her and clear her name, the Jackal, without evidence, would have no way to touch Durandal. She clenched her fist slightly, and helplessly lowered her head to Jojo, saying, "No...it's not like that...Jojo, how could you possibly betray the World Serpent?"

Seeing that the jackal knew the truth but had no evidence, Qiaoqiao breathed a sigh of relief. She then waved to him and said, "Jackal, you can go back now. I'll settle the score with you later for trespassing and searching my residence..."

Jojo looked at the jackal with icy eyes. As the interrogator of the World Serpent, his greatest skill was inflicting unbearable pain on others.

"I'm leaving?"

Jackal knew that if she continued to linger in the manor, she would only provoke more anger from Jojo. But she had already incurred Jojo's displeasure, and since she had angered Jojo because of Yulandale, she could not let her off easily!

Jackal looked at Durandal with icy, sharp eyes: "What should we do with her? Should she continue to stay in your room?"

Durandal's eyes met the jackal's gaze, then she quickly looked away. She couldn't afford to clash with the highest-ranking officers at the World Serpent's base, otherwise, given her current status, it would definitely cause her a lot of trouble.

But... why is this jackal targeting me so deliberately?

Durandal's gaze shifted from the jackal to Jojo, thinking, "But she seems like a completely different person in front of Jojo... Could it be that she's targeting me because of Jojo?"

Jojo was unaware of Yulandal's thoughts. She crossed her arms, shrugged, and said coldly, "Jackal, even if I let her stay in the room, that's my business. You have no right to interfere! If you keep pestering me, I won't be so polite!"

Hearing Qiao Qiao's heartless words, Jackal felt as if her heart was being cut by a knife. She couldn't understand why Qiao Qiao, who had been with her in World Serpent for several years, was now treating her coldly and even threatening her with force for the sake of a Valkyrie of Destiny.

"Qiaoqiao...don't you really understand how I feel about you?"

Jackal slowly loosened her grip on her right hand at her waist. She had never revealed her feelings to Qiaoqiao before, only hoping that Qiaoqiao would confess to her first, so that she could wait for the opportune moment. But now she could no longer care about saving face or the issue of gender roles. She could not let another woman take Qiaoqiao away from her.

Seeing that the jackal and the other person had suddenly become serious, Qiaoqiao immediately tensed up: "What do you mean by that?!"

"Jojo...don't you understand? There's no way you and the Valkyrie of Destiny can be together!"

Jackal stretched out his slender hands and hugged Jojo's body, mustering his courage to shout loudly in his ear: "Only I, as a fellow World Serpent executive, can stay by your side and give you a better future."

Chapter 140 Qiao Qiao, you will definitely regret this!

Jackal held Qiao Qiao tightly with her slender, fair arms and confessed her love to her. She admitted to Qiao Qiao that the reason she was targeting Yulandal was because she saw Yulandal and Qiao Qiao getting too close, so she tried to teach Yulandal a lesson and separate the two of them.

When Jojo was parachuted into World Serpent and became Jackal's superior, she later dumped all the research institute's affairs on Jackal, focusing instead on research and prison management, treating the brilliant scientist Jackal like a "tool" or "secretary." Their work-related conflicts were frequent, with Jojo often using her authority as the boss to suppress Jackal, forcing her to endure her mistreatment. She even punched Jackal to stop her from interrogating Durandal...

Even though Qiaoqiao was extremely difficult and unreasonable in her actions, and exploited her in every way, Jackal still couldn't help but fall in love with Qiaoqiao, the man who was both her "enemy" and her "boss".

Qiaoqiao had heard before that many women were particularly fond of "domineering CEOs" who had power and ability in the workplace.

Qiaoqiao is Jackal's superior. She has stronger scientific research achievements than Jackal. Not only is she young, but she is also beautiful and delicate. It is not surprising that Jackal likes her.

Jackal held Qiao Qiao tightly in her slender arms, a slight blush rising on her alluring, wheat-colored face. Her breath, moist and passionate, escaped her lips: "Qiao Qiao, I've liked you for a long time. Compared to those brutal and mindless Valkyries of Destiny, I'm definitely more suitable for you... I will definitely fulfill all your desires..."

As he spoke, the jackal glanced at Durandal with his amber eyes, his gaze seemingly carrying a hint of provocation.

Durandal watched Jojo embrace the jackal right before her eyes, her heart aching so much she bit her red lips. Just moments ago in the torture chamber, he'd shown such desire and passion for her, even saying he liked her… and now he's out here snuggling up to another woman. So that's how it was… Jojo, from the very beginning, all you ever liked was my body. I was just one of the women you were interested in…

At this moment, Qiaoqiao was suddenly hugged by the jackal, but she didn't know how to respond to his confession.

Although Jackal, who is also a top executive of World Serpent, has always been your rival, she has actually harbored feelings for you for a long time. What is your response to her heartfelt confession...?

[Option 1: My relationship with that naive and innocent girl, Yulandal, was just a fling. Only a beauty as smart and beautiful as you is worthy of me.]

[Option 2: Hypatia, you and Durandal are both my wings!!]

[Option 3: Hypatia, what are you doing? Are you confessing your feelings to me? We've only been colleagues for a few years, and you already want to be my girlfriend? That's too presumptuous... I've always treated you like an older sister. I'm sorry, you're a good person!]

Gan!

Why do I always attract the attention of female villains in games and novels?

Is it possible that evil people are attracted to each other?

The first of these three options, which is to play Durandal and then discard it, is really terrible.

Choosing the second option, which allows both the Jackal and Durandal to become her wings, will only complicate matters further. If the Jackal could tolerate Durandal sharing a man with her, she wouldn't have targeted Durandal in the first place.

After much deliberation, the last option was still the best to simply refuse, since Qiaoqiao's immediate priority was to fulfill the deal with Durandal.

Yulandel has already given his most precious possession to Qiaoqiao. If Qiaoqiao abandons him without mercy, he will definitely fight her to the death.

Although rejecting Jackal's confession will definitely hurt her, it's better than directly breaking ties with Durandal.

Qiaoqiao reached out and gently pushed away the jackal that was tightly hugging her. Then she bowed deeply and recited the lines she had used to reject her seniors and juniors at St. Freya Academy with great practice.
