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

But the jackal knew all too well that Jojo was not a pawn whose fate was to be controlled by others. He did not care about the survival of the world, the rise and fall of civilizations, or the life and death of mankind. He was even indifferent to his own life and could give it up at any time.

Yet this cold-blooded and ruthless villain has a special affection for the Valkyrie Durandal, keeping her hidden in the deepest part of his heart.

A person who is indifferent to the world, civilization, and humanity has a special affection for one woman, so it is not surprising that he would do anything for Durandal.

Jackal knew she couldn't persuade Grey Serpent, since she had no evidence that Jojo had tried to take Durandal away.

Without evidence, what's the difference between that and framing someone?

Jackal turned and left Gray Snake's office.

Before leaving, she glanced at Gray Serpent with her amber eyes and said meaningfully, "Gray Serpent... you'll pay the price for your choices today sooner or later..."

Jackal left the office without looking back, anxiously trying to catch up with Jojo and Durandal.

Grey Serpent, upon hearing Jackal's words, still did not understand their meaning and did not want to continue the matter between Jojo and Durandal.

His heart was always devoted to the Lord and... the Stigmata Project.

"The Stigmata Project is the sole mission and purpose of our World Serpent. For usable pieces, I will squeeze their talents and abilities to the limit; but if a piece is no longer usable, then it will have to be discarded..."

Meanwhile, Jojo led the six Valkyries of the Undying Ones to a forest outside the World Serpent Base.

The modified assassins chained six Valkyries, including Durandal, to several thick trees.

The Valkyries tied to the trees struggled desperately, but their bodies, weaker than those of ordinary girls, were no match for the chains. They were filled with despair and began to rehearse in their minds the scene of being wantonly played with by Qiao Qiao.

"Qiao Qiao! You bastard... If I ever get back to Destiny, I'll tear you to pieces!"

"Ugh! No! This is my first time, and it's happening in a place like this! This is too much!"

"Lord Qiaoqiao! I'll do anything you ask, but please spare me this one thing!"

"Lord of the World Serpent, please, spare me..."

"Hehehe... Stop daydreaming. He's a high-ranking member of the World Serpent. How could he possibly let us go without mercy? Even Lady Durandal isn't a match for him. We can't possibly resist him... So let's all fall into darkness together... Let's all accept Lady Jojo's discipline!"

As Qiaoqiao listened to the Valkyries' words about their desperate situation, some of them remained stubborn and unyielding, but their eyes were already glistening with tears. Clearly, they were just putting on a brave face, and their hearts were still very weak and afraid. Some were complaining, while others put aside their dignity and begged Qiaoqiao.

The last Valkyrie has clearly been completely broken by Jojo. Not only does she not intend to resist, but she also wants to accept Jojo's outdoor play and wants the other sisters to give up the struggle like her...

[Congratulations, host, you have received 500 crystals.]

Chapter 145 Because...I Like You

The modified assassins sent by the Gray Serpent tied all the Valkyries of the Undying Blade to the trees, covered their babbling mouths with white cloths, and respectfully ran to Qiao Qiao's side, bowing their heads.

"Your Excellency, we have settled these Valkyries as instructed. Is there any further task?"

Because of her many contributions, Qiao Qiao now holds an extremely high position within the World Serpent, practically the number one person under the Lord. Among the highest-ranking officials, only the most senior Gray Serpent and the most mysterious Feather Rabbit can be compared to Qiao Qiao.

These modified assassins under the Gray Serpent's command naturally treated Jojo, the highest-ranking officer, with the same respect they would show a god.

Upon hearing the voice of the modified assassin, Qiao Qiao glanced at the Undying Blade Valkyrie, who was tied to a tree, her mouth covered with burlap, and tears welling in her eyes, and nodded with satisfaction.

"You have done an excellent job on the mission."

Qiao Qiao looked down at the modified zombies, a playful smile on her face: "You guys go back to World Serpent first and tell Gray Serpent that I'll go back after I've finished training these Valkyries."

These modified zombies, though possessing adult bodies and human rationality, were almost devoid of emotion. They had no idea what JoJo wanted to do to the Valkyries, nor were they interested in what he was about to do. They simply nodded as ordered and said, "Yes, we will convey your message to Lord Grey Serpent."

As soon as he finished speaking, the modified assassins turned and left without lingering for a moment.

As the modified zombies left one by one, only JoJo remained. The Valkyries of the Immortals had their mouths covered and could not speak, but their eyes trembled incessantly.

After the modified assassins left, only Jojo and the Valkyrie of the Undying Blade remained in these vast forests.

These Valkyries knew perfectly well that Jojo had ordered these modified assassins to retreat so that she could toy with them at will, and they trembled with fear.

After the assassins left, Jojo ignored the Valkyries tied to the trees and instead walked deeper into the tree that bound Durandal.

As the Valkyrie of the Undying Blade saw Jojo approach Durandal, her heart pounded with tension, her eyes fixed on his every move.

Durandal is the strongest Valkyrie in Schicksal, and the goddess in the hearts of all members of the Undying Blade squad.

If Qiaoqiao were to toy with Durandal in front of them, it would be tantamount to completely defiling the most sacred treasure in their hearts.

The Valkyries who were watching saw Jojo approach the unconscious Durandal and were anxious to curse her, but their mouths were covered by burlap. No matter how much they wanted to protect their respected Lady Durandal, they could not break free of the ropes and could only watch helplessly as Jojo's ambition succeeded.

The thought that their revered Lady Durandal, whom they treated as a goddess, was about to be toyed with by the World Serpent's executives terrified them so much that they dared not open their eyes.

On a small, protruding hill in the middle of the forest, the unconscious Durandal was tied alone to a lush, green tree.

This place, with its varying elevations, is like an execution platform, offering a wide view overlooking the Valkyries bound in the forest and wilderness. Those Valkyries tied to the trees can also see everything Jojo did to Durandal.

As Jojo approached Durandal, holding a black short sword, she noticed her eyelashes trembling slightly, as if she were about to awaken, so she stopped in her tracks.

In a daze, Durandal slowly opened her eyes.

Durandal, who had just woken up, was somewhat dazed. When she looked up and saw Qiao Qiao's fair and handsome face, the memory of being betrayed by him in World Serpent was instantly awakened, and she became completely sober.

"Qiaoqiao, I trusted you so much, and you actually dared to break our promise!"

Durandal wanted nothing more than to tear Jojo apart right now, but as soon as she tried to move, she found that her body was tied to a tree with ropes and she couldn't move at all.

"Qiaoqiao, you despicable scoundrel, let me go!"

Yulandel's clear, blue eyes were filled with tears of resentment and hatred. She had given her most precious possession to Jojo, but now he had betrayed her mercilessly. Not only was she in danger, but even her companions with the Undying Blade could not escape his clutches.

If she had known this would happen, she shouldn't have made the deal with Qiao Qiao in the first place. Even if it meant her own death, she should have risked her life to perish together with the World Serpent executives.

Jojo felt Durandal's sharp, hate-filled gaze, raised the black short sword in her hand, and smiled serenely.

“Your Highness, Miss Durandal, you should be happy. Soon we will be able to stay together forever, and no one will be able to separate us.”

Jojo, holding a black short sword, slowly approached Yulandale.

Hearing Qiao Qiao say that she wanted to be with her forever, Yulandel's face grew even uglier. She knew that Qiao Qiao was trying to get her by any means necessary, but that was not true love.

True love should be about being willing to give unconditionally to the other person and silently protect and accompany them, not about being selfish and self-serving like him who will stop at nothing to achieve his goals!

As Durandal saw Jojo approaching with a blade in her hand, she leaned against the large tree behind her.

What does that shameless Qiao Qiao want to do to me?

Did he intend to cut my clothes with a knife, and then...?

As Yulandel watched Jojo approach him with a blade in hand and a sinister smile on her face, her pupils trembled slightly.

"Qiaoqiao, don't come any closer!"

Although the Valkyries bound by ropes had their eyes closed, they could still hear Durandal's shouts from the distant high ground. The image of that high and mighty Valkyrie being wantonly played with by JoJo flashed through their minds. For some reason, they felt restless and unable to suppress their curiosity, so they opened their eyes.

Durandal was located some distance from the other Valkyries, and although the view was wide, Jojo couldn't see clearly what she had done to Durandal.

But this was the first time they had ever heard Durandal's helpless screams.

It turns out that even the world's number one Valkyrie has moments of fear, just like any other ordinary girl.

Only then did they realize that Durandal, facing an invincible enemy, was just an ordinary girl, not an invincible goddess.

They struggled to move their bodies to break free of their restraints, but to no avail. Hearing Durandal's panicked cries, they were anxious but could do nothing.

Unlike Durandal, who was struggling with fear, Jojo appeared remarkably composed and said softly to her, "Don't be so nervous. Your companions are still watching from below."

Upon hearing Jojo's words, Durandal suddenly looked down and realized that her location was an excellent vantage point. Anyone in the surrounding forest could see everything Jojo was doing to her simply by looking up. She could clearly see her five companions below, tightly bound to the trees, looking up as Jojo played with her to her heart's content.

"Qiaoqiao, you despicable and shameless scoundrel!"

Durandal's eyes were filled with a hazy mist of tears, her pearly teeth biting her red lips as she struggled angrily.

Seeing Yulandel struggling, Qiaoqiao walked towards her with elegance and composure: "Relax a little, leave the rest to me."

Seeing JoJo slowly approaching her with a black short sword in hand, Durandal knew that the ever-unruly JoJo would never let her go. She noticed the gaze of the Valkyrie of the Undying Blade behind her, and her body trembled slightly as she looked at JoJo with trembling eyes.

Am I really going to be toyed with by Qiaoqiao in front of other women?

"No...I don't want it!"

[Tears welled in Durandal's eyes as she struggled to escape the ropes binding her. Congratulations, host, you have received 100 crystals.]

Seeing the simulator's reward notification, Qiaoqiao was puzzled, but she also realized that Durandal was terrified of her and was obviously quite frightened.

"Durandal, you better behave... okay?"

"no, do not want!"

[Durandal shook her head in fear. Congratulations, host, you have obtained 100 crystals.]

"Don't move, it'll be over soon!"

Hearing Qiao Qiao's reassurance, Yulandel felt even more nervous instead of relaxed.

"Do not do this!"

[Durandal's eyes filled with tears. Congratulations, host, you have obtained 100 crystals.]

"Be a good girl, and I won't hurt you..."

Seeing Jojo holding a short sword and trying to cut her clothes, Durandal knew she was powerless and could only close her eyes in despair: "Jojo, you just wait, I will definitely find a chance to take revenge. A bastard like you should die in the most miserable way in the world!"

After Durandal calmed down, Jojo used his black dagger to cut the ropes binding her.

Durandal felt the tightness binding her body vanish instantly. She opened her eyes in a panic, only to find that the ropes binding her had been cut by Jojo herself. She never expected that Jojo, who had just said she would discipline her in front of her sisters, would suddenly release her.

What wicked scheme is Qiaoqiao up to now?

Qiaoqiao then handed the black blade "Black Abyss" to Durandal, and then plunged it into her own chest!

In an instant, blood gushed from Qiaoqiao's chest.

Before Durandal could react, her vision was completely stained by a large expanse of blood red, and her hands, which were gripping the Black Abyss, were also completely stained red by the blood spurting from Jojo's chest.

"Qiaoqiao...what are you doing?!"

Durandal immediately released her grip on Black Abyss's hands and embraced Jojo's swaying body.

With a "crack," Hei Yuan landed on the ground.

Durandal held Jojo's body, feeling his body temperature gradually dissipate. Only then did she realize that Jojo had not broken his promise. The reason he acted in front of the Gray Snakes, saying that he was going out to train them, was only to take them away from the World Snakes.

Thinking of this, Durandal felt deeply remorseful for her suspicion and resentment towards Jojo. She never expected that Jojo would use the Black Abyss to pierce her chest and go to such lengths for her sake.

Durandal held Jojo's gradually cooling body, watching helplessly as blood seeped from his chest. Tears welled in her eyes and fell onto Jojo's pale face: "Jojo, why did you do this..."

Hearing Durandal's question, JoJo gave a bitter smile and said, "Didn't I already tell you? Because... I like you."
