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

But as JoJo obtained the Herrscher Core, he no longer needed to hide behind Cocolia and command the Anti-Entropy fleet, so he moved out and lived alone.

Qiao Qiao hadn't noticed that Durandal was in her room because she had been unusually quiet and seemed somewhat lost since earlier.

Durandal's once silky golden hair was now sticking up with a few stray hairs, and she sat on the bed with a blank expression.

Seeing Durandal's distraught state, Qiao Qiao felt a pang of sadness. To cheer her up, she smiled and said, "My esteemed Miss Durandal, I have good news for you. I have now completely settled things at the New Zealand base. Tomorrow we can return to World Serpent and rescue your Valkyrie sisters."

Qiaoqiao sat down next to Yulandel and gently took her slender, white fingers in her hand: "I swear to you, after you come with me, I will never treat you badly."

As Durandal's fiancé, Jojo sincerely hopes to live a secluded life with her, even at the cost of losing his current fame, fortune, and status.

But when Durandal touched Jojo's fingers, she felt no warmth, only a bone-chilling cold. Her face darkened as she said, "Jojo, how long are you going to keep deceiving me?!"

Durandal, who had been silent since the beginning, suddenly shook off Jojo's hand and then picked up the dagger she had hidden and held it to Jojo's neck.

Jojo stared at the black blade that symbolized death. Having already done something to betray Durandal, her heart suddenly raced with tension: "Durandal... what are you trying to do?!"

"I've been waiting for you to confess... waiting for you to tell me what you did at the New Zealand base!"

Upon hearing this, Qiao Qiao realized that Durandal's eyes were already wet, and beneath the tearful pupils lay a coldness.

"You razed the entire New Zealand base to the ground and killed hundreds of researchers. Do you think you can hide this from me?"

Upon hearing this, Qiao Qiao panicked. He knew that Durandal would find out about this sooner or later, but he didn't expect it to happen so quickly.

Qiaoqiao finally understood why Durandal was suddenly so angry.

She was originally the Valkyrie of Destiny, and always valued the lives of her fellow Destiny members more than her own. Now that she knew that Jojo had slaughtered hundreds of Destiny researchers, her kind and noble character naturally could not tolerate such an inhumane thing happening.

"Durandal, let me explain..." Jojo didn't care about the dagger in her throat at this moment. She hurriedly reached out and grabbed Durandal's shoulder, explaining, "The people at the New Zealand base are doing experiments on living people. Not only did they torture Wendy, but they also emptied the brains of living people and turned them into cyborgs that they could control. They deserved to die!"

Unexpectedly, Durandal completely disagreed with Jojo's explanation and gripped the dagger even tighter.

"If they deserve to die, then the court should decide, not you should go and kill them all like you have."

“I once handed Edward over to the Court of Destiny for trial, but not only did he return unharmed, he almost killed me!”

Jojo excitedly placed Durandal's other hand on her heart, hoping she would believe her words.

Qiaoqiao is well aware of the hypocrisy and cruelty of fate. On the surface, they uphold justice in the world, but behind the scenes, they secretly engage in countless dirty deals.

If those researchers were left to fate to decide...

As soon as Qiaoqiao sends someone in, they'll definitely release them right afterward!

"It's pointless to leave those sinners to fate. I must make them pay for their crimes and for hurting Wendy!"

Hearing Jojo's words, Durandal felt a deep disappointment, her eyes flashing with crystalline lightning. Along the way, she had witnessed Jojo helping Cocolia, the Vodka sisters, and Wendy, and she had thought his inner self wasn't as cold as his outward appearance and social status suggested. But it turned out he was still a selfish and wicked person, only caring about those he valued, while the lives of others were as worthless as ants in his eyes...

He might be the perfect dream man for Wendy, but to everyone else he's a devil.

“Jojo, I really misjudged you…” Durandal said, her eyes filled with helplessness and contempt. “For a moment, I naively believed your words, thinking that you would run away with me and abandon evil for good. But I was wrong. You are still a ruthless villain who will stop at nothing to achieve your goals!”

"I'm definitely not a good person!"

Ignoring the risk of her throat being slashed by a dagger, Qiaoqiao reached out and hugged Yulandal's delicate body. Her voice trembled with sobs as she said affectionately, "But I really love you. I'm really willing to give up everything for you. I want to obtain the power of the Herrscher. Everything I've done is for our future. Only in this way can I be worthy of being with you!"

Hearing Jojo's words, Durandal was deeply moved. She, too, was a young woman yearning for love, and naturally, she couldn't resist a man like Jojo who loved her so sincerely and unconditionally...

While being a young girl, Durandal is also a noble and kind Valkyrie.

"I have never met my father, nor my mother, and I have no brothers or sisters..."

As Durandal reflected on her lonely and desolate life, she realized that she was moved by Jojo's few words, not only because of his outstanding appearance, but also because she had never met a man who loved her as deeply as Jojo.

Yulandar's slender hand holding the dagger trembled slightly. Her head rested on Jojo's shoulder, and her voice was weak from crying.

"Jojo, you're the first person in this world to say they love me. I've never met anyone who loves me like you do..." Durandal's eyes filled with tears. "So even though you're my enemy, even though you're a member of the World Serpent, I still fell in love with you without hesitation. You're the most important person to me in this world, but why did you kill so many people..."

Durandal's warm words suddenly turned cold.

"Qiaoqiao, your sins can only be washed away with blood... Don't worry... I will soon follow you..."

No sooner had she finished speaking than Durandal plunged a dagger into Jojo's heart.

In an instant, a large hole was pierced in Qiaoqiao's chest, and blood flowed freely.

Chapter 131 Durandal, Stay Tonight

"Durandal, I know you cannot forgive the sins I have committed..."

Qiaoqiao raised her hand and touched her chest where a sharp blade had pierced her. Looking at her blood-stained hands, she smiled bitterly and said, "But I don't want to die with you right now."

Just now, Durandal intended to pierce Jojo's heart with the dagger in her hand, while simultaneously piercing her own body.

Unexpectedly, just as Durandal pierced Jojo's chest with her dagger, Jojo pushed her away in time, preventing her from killing him and dying with him as she had hoped.

At this moment, Qiao Qiao's back was pierced by a dagger, and the blood flowing out stained his originally snow-white bedding. There was also a bloodstain at the corner of his mouth.

If it were an ordinary person, being stabbed in the heart with a dagger would certainly mean certain death.

But as a fusion warrior, Jojo possesses super-fast regeneration factors within him, and the bloody wound on his back is healing at a visible speed.

"Who wants to die with you...!" Durandal looked at Jojo with disdain in her eyes: "I just want to seek justice for those Fated Ones who died at your hands."

"I don't care who you're seeking justice for." Jojo looked at Durandal and then said, "But if I die, all the Valkyries imprisoned in the World Serpent Prison will have to be buried with me."

"You're willing to die with me, so you don't care whether those Valkyries live or die?"

Upon hearing this, Durandal was stunned. While it was certainly hateful that Jojo had destroyed the entire Destiny Base, her immediate priority was still to rescue her companions trapped in the world.

"Of course I can't let them die in the World Serpent! No matter the cost, I will bring them out!"

"very good!"

Upon hearing Durandal's words, JoJo smiled with satisfaction. Since Durandal still cared so much about her companions, she couldn't possibly turn against her now and risk everything to perish together with JoJo.

"As expected of Princess Durandal, I truly envy your companions for having such a loyal leader like you." The wounds on JoJo's back and chest slowly disappeared, her face was sickly pale, yet she still maintained her unruly demeanor.

Upon hearing Jojo's praise, Durandal's eyebrows furrowed slightly. Although Jojo, as a member of World Serpent, was ruthless in achieving his goals, he was now her only hope to rescue her companions. Even if she had to risk her life to perish with him, she had to rescue the Valkyries imprisoned by World Serpent first.

"Qiaoqiao, as long as you can help me rescue my companions, I can spare your life in return. From now on, I will continue to be the Valkyrie fighting against the Honkai, and you will continue to be the World Serpent Torturer who manipulates people's hearts. We will have nothing to do with each other again."

Upon hearing Durandal's cold words, Qiao Qiao's face instantly turned icy, and she said in a deep voice, "I refuse..."

"Wh...what? You want to break your promise and not help me save my companion?!"

When Qiao Qiao suddenly changed her mind, Youlandai was furious.

"No... I refuse to have anything to do with you anymore. No matter what means I use, I will keep you by my side forever."

Seeing that Qiao Qiao was still unwilling to give up on her, Youlandail was stunned. She really couldn't understand why a man like Qiao Qiao, who held power, money and strength, could easily get any kind of woman, so why was he so persistent in pursuing her.

"Fine, whatever you want to do is your own business... but remember this..." Durandal said, a cold glint in her eyes, "The next time we meet, we will be enemies. I will kill you for destiny and for my comrades."

Hearing Durandal's threat, Qiaoqiao showed no fear whatsoever. Instead, she looked at Durandal with even more admiration: "If you think you can make me back down with a few harsh words, you're sorely mistaken. This will only make me more interested in you."

Durandal sighed softly. She had realized how self-centered Jojo was and how she wouldn't listen to any advice. She could only try to steer the conversation back on track.

"What exactly do you want to do to rescue my companion?"

Upon hearing this, Qiaoqiao took out an identification card with her badge on it and said, "With this card, you can move around the World Serpent Base with my authorization, and entering my company's prison tower is a piece of cake."

Upon hearing Qiao Qiao's words, Youlandail nodded slightly. She had heard Qiao Qiao mention this identity card before.

However, Qiao Qiao was interrupted by Raven halfway through her sentence, which prevented her from successfully obtaining the identity card.

Now, seeing this card again, which symbolizes the highest-ranking official in the world of snakes, Durandal's eyes revealed a hint of longing.

When Qiaoqiao saw that Yulandal was staring at her identity card, she immediately realized her inner desire and simply handed the identity card to Yulandal.

“Durandal, if you want this card, just say so.”

Durandal accepted the card, which granted her the authority of a high-ranking World Serpent officer. She was overjoyed; the happiness had come so suddenly that it caught her off guard.

Soon, a dangerous thought arose in Durandal's mind.

Since... as long as I have this ID card, I can open the prison tower door, then I don't need Jojo anymore, right?

Thinking this, Durandal looked at JoJo with a strange look in her eyes. Her strength had not yet fully recovered, and she seemed to be slightly inferior to JoJo, who possessed the power of a Herrscher. She was not entirely confident.

Jojo didn't notice Durandal's strange look and continued to explain, "Miss Durandal, you'd better not get too excited just because you got my ID card... This ID can only exercise my power on my behalf, but it cannot violate the rules of the World Serpent."

"What do you mean?"

Jojo continued, "I naturally have the authority to enter the prison tower when I conduct World Serpent interrogations, but as a World Serpent executive, releasing prisoners is a capital offense... In other words, it's easy for you to enter the prison tower, but it's extremely difficult to rescue someone."

In other words, no matter how much power JoJo wields as an official, she cannot release prisoners, especially Valkyries of Destiny.

Durandal, holding the ID card given to her by Jojo, said somewhat uneasily, "Since your permissions are useless, how do you plan to rescue my companion?"

"Don't worry," Qiao Qiao said in a deep voice. "It's true that you can't leave the base with the ID card, but as long as I take action personally, with me leading you, even if Raven and Jackal want to stop me, they won't be able to."

Jojo spoke with great confidence, but Durandal found it a bit strange, as if he was hiding something from her.

"Jojo... if I let you, as a World Serpent executive, lead our Valkyries away from World Serpent, wouldn't that put you in a difficult position?"

Durandal keenly sensed that letting the Valkyrie go would have a significant impact on you, and she hesitated somewhat. What was your answer to that?

[Option 1: Durandal, you don't really think I like you and am willing to give up everything for the World Serpent, do you?]

[Option 2: Durandal, I can rescue your companions, but in return, you must give me your most precious possession.]

[Option 3: Durandal, rather than letting you leave with those Valkyries, I'd rather they stay in the deep prison forever, and then I can toy with you in front of them.]

Looking at the three options before her, Qiao Qiao glanced at Durandal with a complicated expression, then patted the blood-stained blanket beside her: "Durandal, stay with me tonight—"

Chapter 132 Wendy: Jojo, am I not good enough for you? (4k5)

Qiao Qiao's gesture of patting the blanket and asking to stay startled Youlandail. Youlandail slowly took two steps back with her slender legs, which had no excess fat, and looked at Qiao Qiao with disdain.

"How could I possibly stay and do that kind of thing with you?"

Durandal had just been planning to end Jojo's life with a single blow and break up with him, so how could she possibly accept his invitation willingly now?

Qiaoqiao noticed the disgust in Yulandel's expression, smiled slightly, got up from the quilt, and reached out her hand, stained with scarlet blood, wanting to caress the beautiful curves of her pretty face and use her own blood to paint a bright red on her lips.

"Durandal, I can rescue your companions, but in return, you must give me your virginity."

Jojo whispered intimately in Durandal's ear as she followed the task options.

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

Upon hearing that Jojo was using her companion as a threat, Durandal clenched her fists in anger and slapped Jojo's hand away from her face.
