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

"Yes, I will definitely live up to your expectations."

Alina said with great anticipation.

A nun handed Alina a black habit, while Jojo walked down the steps of the sanctuary and returned to her office.

Seeing that Jojo hadn't eaten breakfast yet, Alina went to the kitchen and chopped mushrooms, chicken, herbs, and other ingredients to make a mushroom stew, which she then delivered to Jojo's office.

But she knocked on the door and waited outside for a long time without anyone answering.

At this moment, a slightly more experienced nun stepped forward, patted Alina on the shoulder, and said, "Father Jojo discusses matters about the sanatorium with Sister Aponia behind closed doors every day at this time. You'd better not disturb him."

Hearing this, Alina frowned slightly. She didn't understand what kind of matter the sanatorium required Aponia to come to Jojo every day to discuss.

"Ok, I see."

Although Alina was confused, she still waited outside with the mushroom stew.

Twenty minutes later, Alina felt something was off. When did the sanatorium need to discuss things for so long?

Alina tried to open the office door directly, but it was locked and could not be opened from the outside. She tried knocking twice, then pressed her ear to the door and listened carefully. She could faintly hear Sister Aponia's voice, which sounded somewhat painful.

Alina became even more anxious to open the door, and then the door suddenly opened, and Alina crashed directly into Aponia's tender sternum.

"Miss Alina, it's been a long time."

Aponia smiled and said, "Seeing you so healthy is more important than anything else."

Alina wasn't happy to see Aponia; instead, her expression turned somewhat grim. "Sister Aponia, what were you doing, a woman alone in a room with Father Jojo for so long?"

Upon hearing this, Aponia's smile froze, but she still forced herself to say, "We're here to discuss the management of the sanatorium."

Hearing this, Alina breathed a sigh of relief.

fine...

I knew Father Jojo and Sister Aponia were innocent.

Alina's expression softened slightly, but she still couldn't suppress her curiosity: "I'm sorry, Sister Aponia, I heard you sound like you were in pain just now, that's why I was worried about you."

Upon hearing this, a strange light flashed across Aponia's eyes, but she still tried to remain calm and said, "The sound... that's probably because I had a little argument with Father Jojo."

At this moment, Qiaoqiao, who was sitting inside the room, quickly stepped forward to smooth things over: "The two of us were discussing how to treat the patients suffering from Honkai disease in the sanatorium, so it took us a little longer."

Seeing that Jojo and Aponia were telling the same story, and Alina had no evidence, she could only believe their version of events.

"Next time... if you need to discuss the nursing home, please call me. I would also like to help Father Jojo."

Alina grasped Aponia's delicate fingers with her slender hand, and her earnest expression forced Aponia to reluctantly say, "Okay, next time I'll let you join both of us."

Upon hearing this, Jojo's expression turned somewhat surprised, and she quickly changed the subject, saying, "I'm going to be treating patients with Aponia next..."

“Father Jojo, I want to go to the sanatorium with you.”

Alina volunteered to go with the two of them because she still harbored suspicions about the relationship between Jojo and Aponia. It was obvious to everyone that their relationship was more than just friendship, but no one knew how far it had progressed.

Jojo did not refuse Alina's request to follow.

After the three of them arrived at the sanatorium, Qiaoqiao, as usual, injected the sick child with anti-Honkai energy serum, and then turned to Alina and said, "Miss Alina, could you please help take care of these children?"

"Ok."

Upon hearing Jojo's request, Alina agreed without hesitation. She was born into a wealthy noble family, and although she later fell into prostitution, she still possessed the knowledge and refinement of the upper class; otherwise, so many noblemen would not have been so eager to have her.

She enjoys taking care of children, and it would be even better if this could help Jojo.

“That’s wonderful.” Jojo stood up and turned to Aponia, saying, “Aponia, leave these children in Alina’s care. Why don’t you come out for a walk with me?”

Hearing this, Alina was shocked and felt like her whole body was about to crack.

She clearly helped because she wanted Jojo to notice her, so how did she end up benefiting Aponia instead?

I also want to do this and that kind of things with Father Jojo!

Based on past experience, Aponia should have refused Jojo's invitation, but she secretly glanced at Alina, made up her mind, and actually agreed directly: "Yes, Father Jojo, let's go."

Seeing that Aponia obeyed without her threats, Jojo felt a little strange, but didn't think much of it.

Perhaps... she has completely given up resisting.

Jojo led Aponia out the door, while Alina looked at them with a hint of melancholy in her eyes.

"Jojo, why are you deliberately avoiding Alina?"

Aponia walked with Jojo along the garden path, turning her gaze away from Alina's forlorn expression and towards Jojo.

“Alina is indeed very beautiful... but I brought her out of that club for reasons different from yours.” Jojo reached out and plucked a rose from the thorns, gently smelling it.

Upon hearing Jojo's words, Aponia was even more confused: "Do you have another purpose in finding Alina?"

Upon hearing this, Jojo nodded and tucked the flower she had picked into Aponia's hair: "The reason I'm with you is because I like you, I want to possess your body, and everything about you. But my purpose in contacting Alina is not so simple; I only hope that she can help me accomplish something."

Alina certainly possesses a beauty that would make countless men swoon, but for Jojo, the Sim, the only one he has ever loved is Aponia.

Although Jojo found it incredible, it seemed that Jojo in this simulated world wasn't just lusting after Aponia's body, but rather truly in love with her.

Or rather... Jojo actually loves everything about Aponia, including her body.

Jojo could use threats to obtain Aponia's body, but for Alina, who possesses Herrscher powers and is the future Ice Queen, Jojo decided to approach her in a different way.

Since Alina is genuinely grateful to him and has a strong desire for him, he will deliberately prevent her from satisfying that desire. That way, she will always be unsatisfied and yearn to help Jojo to gain his approval.

Upon hearing this, a hint of sadness flashed in Aponia's eyes: "Jojo, no matter what, I just hope you can be a little gentler with that poor girl. That's my request."

Upon hearing this, Jojo raised an eyebrow, feeling quite displeased. Aponia's demand that Jojo be close to other women was enough to show that she had no feelings for him at all.

It seems I need to intensify my training.

“Alina’s time is running out. She will be burned to ashes by a flame while bound by ice.” Aponia sighed sadly. “She loves you deeply, so I hope that you can give her warmth while she is still alive.”

Hearing Aponia's explanation, Jojo felt a little better; at least she wasn't being forced to give herself up for no reason.

Jojo leaned close to Aponia's flaxen hair, inhaling the floral scent emanating from her, and said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, in the battle against that ball of flame, at most one of us will die."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jojo turned around, leaving Aponia to walk away alone. He opened the simulator's homepage, checked the 12,000 crystals he had earned, and then focused his gaze on an item called "Threads of the Goddess of Misfortune" in the system shop.

Chapter Forget-Me-Not

[You used 12000 crystals to exchange for the five-star item "Threads of the Goddess of Misfortune." This item can change the fate of others, absorbing their inescapable misfortune. In return, the absorbed fate will be transferred to you.]

This item is sold out.

The Honkai disease is raging in Twilight City and ten neighboring cities. The Mithril Knights, responsible for maintaining order in the cities, patrol the city daily. Once a Honkai disease patient is diagnosed, they can only be confined to an isolation camp, but there are no effective treatments available. In other words, they are left to die.

As usual, you were injecting the children at the sanatorium with anti-Honkai serum when suddenly members of the Mithril Knights knocked on the sanatorium's door.

To evade the Knights' search, you and Aponia quickly hid the sick children in a secret underground chamber.

The knights outside pounded on the door, but no one opened it. Their frustration grew, and the frequency and force of their pounding steadily increased. Just as they were about to break down the door, Aponia suddenly opened it, abruptly halting their assault. They stared awkwardly at Aponia.

Aponia calmly asked, "Fellow knights, is there any problem with our visit?"

[A tall man stepped forward from among the Mithril Knights. He wore silver-white armor with a cloak, had blond hair, and while not as handsome as Jojo, he was still considered dignified and imposing.]

His name is Essex, a Silver-rank Knight in the Mithril Knights, qualified to lead a combat squad.

[Essex, seeing Aponia's cold and beautiful face, smiled happily: "Miss Aponia, we would like to enter your sanatorium to search for anyone suffering from infectious diseases."]

Aponia possessed exquisitely defined features and a voluptuous figure. Furthermore, as a nun, she exuded a noble and pure aura. Just as you admired her, many in Twilight Street pursued Aponia, Essex being one of them.

Upon hearing that Essex wanted to search the sanatorium, Aponia's face showed a momentary panic, but she quickly regained her composure, a slight smile playing on her lips as she said, "Mr. Essex, many of the children in the sanatorium are still resting. It would be best if you didn't disturb them."

Hearing Aponia's tactful refusal, Essex, though still fond of Aponia, still prioritized the Knights of Faith.

[It's important to understand that for someone born into a commoner to climb to his current position requires immense effort and perseverance, as well as some opportunity. His opportunity lay in being chosen as the adopted son of the Grand Master of the Mithril Knights when he was young, which allowed him to rise through the ranks smoothly.]

After all, if anything went wrong in the area he was searching, the position he had worked so hard to achieve would be lost.

Essex flatly refused Aponia's request: "Miss Aponia, please step aside. We'll just do a quick search and try to keep things quiet."

Aponia stood frozen in place, her face showing a hint of panic, refusing to move aside. She was terrified that the Knights would find the child infected with the Honkai, which would render all her efforts futile.

Standing beneath the statue in the sanatorium, you noticed Aponia's predicament and said, "Essex, this sanatorium is within my jurisdiction. Without my permission, you are not to be allowed to set foot here."

Essex's gaze fell on you, but it was as if he had seen something strange; his face turned very ugly. However, he couldn't refute Jojo's words. While their knightly order was indeed responsible for the security of Twilight Street, the church ultimately held the final authority over this area.

Hearing your words, Aponia secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the situation had finally calmed down.

[When he saw you in the sanatorium, Essex was furious. He had climbed the ladder through his own hard work, while you became a priest easily because of your family background. In his eyes, you've always been a spoiled brat who only relies on your family connections.]

He looked at you with disdain and said, "Jojo, why would a spoiled brat like you be in a sanatorium in Aponia?"

You weren't surprised to sense Essex's anger, because you and Essex had both pursued Aponia in the past; strictly speaking, you were rivals, though you'd never really paid him any attention.

You responded with a cold smile: "I was personally invited here by Aponia. You're the uninvited guest."

Essex, enraged, retorted, "Stop talking nonsense! Why would Aponia invite someone like you to a sanatorium?"

Aponia stepped forward and said, "Mr. Essex, Jojo is a major benefactor of our sanatorium. We're currently facing financial difficulties, which is why I invited him here."

Hearing Aponia's words, Essex felt instantly relieved, but still harbored resentment towards Jojo. She anxiously said, "Miss Aponia, this is my advice. Jojo, relying on his family background, is arrogant, domineering, and utterly wicked. He's a complete villain. You'd better stop letting the sanatorium accept his funding."

[Upon hearing this, Aponia looked at Jojo with a troubled expression. She knew how others viewed Jojo, but the sanatorium would surely collapse without Jojo's generous financial support, and without the anti-Honkai serum developed by Jojo, all the children in the sanatorium would die.]

Aponia raised her clear eyes to look at Essex and said, "Mr. Essex, whether or not this institution accepts Father Jojo is our own business. You... have no right to interfere."

When Essex heard that Aponia refused to distance herself from Jojo, she panicked and stubbornly grabbed Aponia's thin shoulders: "Miss Aponia, don't you understand? I've been telling you to stay away from Jojo for your own good. You should know that he's always been a rich playboy. Being with him will only make you unhappy!"

Upon hearing Essex's words, Aponia was immediately filled with resentment.

What do you mean by "it's all for my own good"?

When Aponia was at her wits' end because of the sick children in the nursing home, she prayed to God countless times, but God never answered her prayers and no one offered her any help.

Just when she was in despair, Jojo was the only one who helped her.

Although Jojo's purpose in helping him was to possess his body, she was by no means a selfless good person, but she was still much better than Essex, who claimed to be good to him but never did anything for him.

Aponia ruthlessly shook off Essex's hands, coldly saying, "I don't need your kindness. My relationships with Jojo or anyone else are none of your business. Please mind your own business."

Upon hearing Aponia's use of the word "please," Essex immediately composed himself: "I'm sorry... Miss Aponia, I absolutely did not mean to offend you."

Essex, no longer daring to provoke Aponia further, turned her attention to you: "Jojo, did you use some means to threaten Miss Aponia?!"

[Upon hearing this, you shrugged helplessly. You acknowledged that you had indeed obtained Aponia's body through some transactions and means, but you never imagined you could gain someone's heart through threats. Aponia's words to Essex just now weren't at Jojo's behest; they were her heartfelt words.]

You whispered in Essex's ear with a cold laugh, "Yeah, she moans like a slut every night in bed."
