"Durandal, it's nothing serious. The researchers next door just got lost and were found..."

Upon hearing the words of the black-haired Valkyrie, Durandal nodded indifferently. She looked ahead and saw a group of people dressed in white, which were hidden by the rain, but she did not see Wendy. She turned to leave empty-handed.

"No...don't go...help me!"

Wendy, who was being carried on the shoulder of a cyborg, made a faint sound.

But when Wendy saw Durandal turn away, her eyes dimmed instantly, and her outstretched hand fell limply in the air in disappointment. The last glimmer of hope in her heart was shattered, and she was carried on someone's shoulder like a lifeless corpse, letting the rain beat down on her and soak her whole body.

"What...what do you want to do to that girl?!"

Just when Wendy felt she could never escape Dr. Edward's grasp, a voice suddenly came from behind her.

Hearing the sound, Wendy leaned on the cyborg's shoulder and turned to see a girl in a white coat holding an umbrella, standing in the misty drizzle. She was tall and slender, with fair skin like jade, and her purple eyes shone with an unusual light. Her cool and handsome face appeared even more fresh and hazy in the rain, like a legendary immortal who never ages.

Qiao Qiao held a black umbrella in his hand, his sharp eyes looking at the unfamiliar researchers and cyborgs. Then his gaze fell on Wendy's pretty smiling face, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. He had been looking for Wendy for a long time, and he could not let these people take him away from him.

[You stand in the misty drizzle, blocking the cyborg who wants to take Wendy away. What should you do next?]

Option 1: Ignore Wendy and obediently give way.

Option 2: Stand still and block the cyborgs' path, defiantly saying to them, "Let go of that girl, let me handle this!"

Option 3: Smash all these cyborgs into scrap metal and take Wendy away.

Chapter 111 Jojo's Malicious Intentions Towards Wendy

Jojo didn't hesitate to kill Elhesen, wear his clothes, and impersonate his identity to enter the New Zealand base, all in order to obtain the Herrscher of Wind's body before Anti-Entropy, Schicksal, and the others from World Serpent.

Now that someone dared to steal Wendy from his turf, Jojo was naturally unwilling to suffer in silence.

My options are 2 and 3!

Holding an umbrella, you snapped at the cyborgs in white protective suits, "Let go of that girl! Let me handle this!"

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

Hedwig's eyes darted around in panic; she seemed surprised that you would personally step in and compete with her for Wendy, the experimental subject in the Gemstone Project.

Although Hedwig belonged to another research institute and was a subordinate of the base's elders, she still had some reservations about your status as director. She bowed respectfully and said, "Director Elheisen, this young woman is someone Dr. Edward wants. We cannot hand her over to you."

[Your eyes were fixed solely on Wendy, completely ignoring Hedwig and the other cyborgs. Holding an umbrella, you walked confidently towards Wendy's location.]

Because you are the director of the research institute, Hedwig dared not block your way. She could only order your cyborgs to make way for you and watch helplessly as you walked to Wendy's side.

Wendy lay weakly on the shoulder of a cyborg. Her white hospital gown was tattered, her short black hair was soaked with water droplets, and even her clothes were drenched, revealing the outline of her white bra strap.

The girl's skin was as pale as snow, her figure slender, and her delicate face appeared even more fragile and endearing in the misty light.

You held the umbrella to shield her from the wind and rain, your eyes filled with affection as you stroked Wendy's pretty face, and said emotionally, "It's such a waste that such a beautiful woman is being ruined on the lab table by such an unromantic guy like you."

Feeling the warmth of your hand, Wendy stared blankly at your delicate face, a sudden fear creeping into her heart.

[Your current identity, Elhesen, is the son of former director Oppenheimer, so Wendy has met you a few times before. Her impression of you is just like any other researcher in a white coat...cold, ruthless, and unapproachable. But today you're like a completely different person, not only saying affectionately about your own beauty...but also acting particularly chivalrous.]

Wendy looked into your purple eyes, momentarily flustered, but quickly recovered, shyly turning her head away, stealing glances at your handsome face. She had seen your face before, but never before had she found you so strikingly beautiful, so exceptionally... alluring.

Seeing Wendy shyly avoid your gaze, you seem to be aroused. Like a spoiled young master, you lift Wendy's face, a slight smile playing on your lips, and say with amusement, "This little girl is really pretty. I'm going to take her home as my wife...and cherish her."

[As soon as you finished speaking, you took Wendy from the cyborg's shoulder, placed her in the wheelchair, and tried to turn and leave with her.]

Wendy was surprised by the attempt to take her away. Although you spoke frivolously and it was clear you were after her beauty and body with ill intentions, she felt no discomfort or disgust... she even felt somewhat happy.

If any other man had spoken to Wendy like that, she would have definitely yelled, "You're crazy! Just because someone's pretty doesn't mean she's your wife!"

[Analyzing the current situation, even if I were to be taken home by you as your wife, it would be far better than being tortured and used as an experimental subject by Hedwig and the others...]

Wendy stole glances at your handsome face out of the corner of her eye. When she saw your purple eyes, her face flushed crimson. If she could be chosen by such a stunningly handsome man as you and spend a night with him, that would be her good fortune...

Hearing that you wanted to take Wendy back to your room, Hedwig panicked and rushed forward, trying her best to dissuade you: "Director Elheisen, you can't take Miss Wendy away. She is an important experimental subject for the Gemstone Project, sent here by Schicksal headquarters to participate in the project. Apart from His Holiness the Bishop, no one has the authority to take her away from Lord Edward's research institute."

Wendy is a participant in the Gemstone Development Project, which was directly initiated by Schicksal Headquarters. Although you used your directorial authority to suspend funding and personnel support for the project, bringing it to a standstill, you cannot truly abolish this experimental project that Schicksal Bishop is focusing on, nor can you decide the fate of the test subjects.

In other words... Jojo, as the director of the New Zealand base, has authority under the authority of the Bishop of Destiny and cannot directly cancel the Gem of Desire development project.

Although Jojo used her authority as director to suspend the project, this was merely a delaying tactic. As long as the bishop desired the existence of the gem, he would never agree to completely abolish the gem development plan.

Just as Jojo hoped for a complete freeze on gem development, Dr. Edward and other institute elders, as those in charge of the development plan, naturally hoped for its restart.

Whether Wendy, as the host of the Lustful Gem, is in Jojo's or Dr. Edward's hands will determine whether the Lustful Gem development project is restarted.

If Jojo were to forcibly take Wendy, the host of the Desire Gem, from Dr. Edward, she would likely be considered to have harmed her fellow Destiny members and deliberately sabotaged the development of the Desire Gem. If discovered, she would inevitably be punished by Destiny headquarters and might even lose her position as director.

Hedwig knew Elheisen's personality; he wouldn't dare to confront Schicksal headquarters. So she smiled smugly and said, "Director Elheisen, if you know what's good for you, leave the test subjects behind and get out of here quickly."

[You know that keeping Wendy and halting the development of the Gem of Desire goes against the orders of the Archbishop of Destiny, and will inevitably lead to Dr. Edward vying for her, yet you still refuse to back down. Pushing Wendy's wheelchair, you turn back to Hedwig with a cold look in your eyes: "I said... I fell in love with this lady at first sight, so I'm definitely taking her home!"]

Sensing your sharp, icy gaze, Hedwig felt the surrounding air grow even colder, and her whole body trembled slightly. She knew that as the director, your word was law at the New Zealand base, but if she let you take Wendy away like this, Professor Edward, with his cold and ruthless nature, would surely make her pay a heavy price.

Hedwig clenched her teeth, her resolve unwavering, and ordered the cyborgs in protective suits, "Stop Director Elheisen and get the test subject back!"

A fierce glint flashed in Hedwig's sapphire-blue eyes.

The instant she gave the order, a dozen cyborgs, each with combat power comparable to a Valkyrie, swarmed towards you, intending to suppress you by force... or even kill you. Since the former director could die unexpectedly, your death, as the current director, could also be an accident.

[You see the cyborgs attacking you. As a researcher, instead of panicking, you smile slightly and activate the power of the Honkai Beast genes within you.]

Black horns sprouted from your head, and your eyes shone with golden light like torches. In the blink of an eye, you dispatched all the cyborgs.

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

[During this time, the sounds of your battle with the cyborg immediately attracted the attention of the Valkyrie guarding the door and Durandal... especially Durandal, who turned around and rushed out with suspicion in her heart...]

Jojo's five sharp claws pierced through the chest of a cyborg, tearing out its heart.

The cyborg, who was originally full of brute strength, fell to the ground with his limbs hanging down like a wind-up doll, his eyes vacant.

Jojo threw the cyborg heart she was holding aside and let the rain wash away the bloodstains on her body.

Hedwig stared at the cyborg corpses piled up like a small mountain in Jojo, rainwater mingling with blood as it flowed out in a sea of ​​crimson. Terrified, she collapsed to the ground, her face filled with astonishment. "These cyborgs... even the Valkyries with Holy Marks personally trained by His Holiness the Bishop could rival them! How could you defeat them so easily..."

Hedwig clutched her golden curls in disbelief, then her gaze fell on your hand with its newly grown claws. Instantly, her surprise turned to terror, and she said in a trembling voice, "Could it be... that the legendary fusion warrior experiment really succeeded?"

Among the researchers of Schicksal, there is a legendary scientist who is on par with Dr. Einstein and Dr. Tesla—Giorno Joyce, or simply "Jojo"...

Legend has it that he was obsessed with researching "fusion warrior" experiments that combined the genes of humans and Honkai Beasts, even going so far as to violate taboos, ultimately betraying destiny, and his fate remains unknown...

Of course... most people believe that the scientist who betrayed His Holiness the bishop must have died long ago.

Elheisen is Giorno Joyce's only disciple and is also considered to have inherited his knowledge, conducting research on "fusion warriors".

But Hedwig never expected that... the experiment of "fusion warriors," which even a genius like Jojo couldn't complete, would actually be achieved by a mediocre person like Elhesen.

As the battle ended, the rain falling from the sky gradually subsided.

When Durandal arrived late, she saw Hedwig trembling on the ground in fear. Jojo had defeated more than a dozen cyborgs, like a king on the battlefield trampling corpses under his feet. Wendy, sitting in her wheelchair, stared at Jojo without moving, her emerald eyes flashing with an unusual light.

Chapter 112 Qiao Qiao is assassinated! The entire area is sealed off!

The drizzle fell into the puddles on the ground, creating ripples. The transparent rainwater gently caressed the curves of Qiaoqiao's face, carrying the blood from his hands as it fell to the ground.

Seeing Jojo bathed in the blood of cyborgs, the blonde beauty Hedwig grabbed a fallen gun and pointed it at Jojo: "Monster... don't come any closer! I'm Dr. Edward's most trusted subordinate. If you kill me, the doctor will definitely have Schicksal Headquarters seek justice for me!"

Previously, Ehrlich had also conducted research at the New Zealand base. Although he was the son of Director Oppenhammer, he never dared to disobey Professor Edward's orders.

But Hedwig failed to realize... although her appearance was no different from Ed Heysen's, her inner self had already changed.

Upon hearing Hedwig's voice, Jojo slowly turned around to look. After losing the protection of the cyborg, Hedwig was like fish on a chopping board to Jojo, easily manipulated.

"Do you think I'll be afraid of you just because you bring up Dr. Edward and Schicksal headquarters?"

Jojo said coldly, then walked up to Hedwig, grabbed her chin, and covered her mouth.

Hedwig, whose mouth was grabbed by Jojo, was unable to speak and made painful "uh-uh" sounds. She did not expect that Jojo was completely different from before. Not only was she not afraid of Professor Edward, but she was also not afraid of the authority of the Destiny Headquarters.

Jojo looked at Hedwig's pained expression, but felt no sympathy whatsoever. Perhaps it was because she was used to playing the villain, or perhaps Hedwig herself wasn't a good person.

Seeing her struggle, Qiaoqiao smiled with immense pleasure.

"If you dare to speak to me like a shrew again, I'll cut out your tongue, tear your mouth apart, and make you mute forever."

Threatened by Jojo, Hedwig immediately widened her eyes in fright and became as quiet as a quail.

Seeing Hedwig's frightened expression, Jojo laughed again.

Sure enough, we must not be soft-hearted when dealing with such a bullying lackey; we should teach her a lesson so that she will behave herself.

Seeing the once arrogant and domineering Hedwig become as docile as a little white rabbit, Jojo nodded in satisfaction, until a slender hand pulled Jojo away from Hedwig's arm and led him aside.

Only after Jojo let go did Hedwig get a chance to catch her breath.

Durandal ignored Hedwig, who had fallen to the ground, grabbed Jojo's hand, and pulled her aside. The two whispered to each other, "Jojo, are you crazy? How could you attack a fellow researcher? What if your identity is exposed?"

Instead of being worried about her identity being exposed in response to Durandal's warning, Qiao Qiao smiled easily and said, "I had no choice but to do this to save someone."

Upon hearing Qiaoqiao's words, Durandal's eyes widened in surprise, and she even wondered if she had misheard.

How could a villain like Jojo, who only considers his own interests, cooperates with Cocolia, and uses any means to achieve his goals, actually take the initiative to save people?

This is as absurd as a weasel offering New Year's greetings to a chicken.

Durandal turned to look at Wendy not far away. Wendy had fair skin and a pretty face. She held an umbrella on her lap, and her pale, sickly face showed an elegant and calm smile that made her look particularly pitiful and gave people a desire to protect her. She was definitely a beautiful and sickly girl with excellent looks, but... her legs seemed to be disabled, which was a bit of a flaw.

Upon seeing Durandal's arrival, Hedwig seemed to see a glimmer of hope. She had no idea about the secret relationship between Jojo and Durandal, and hurriedly pointed at Jojo, saying, "Lady Durandal, this man has defied the orders of the Schicksal Headquarters and is trying to take away the experimental subject implanted with the Gem of Desire!"

Upon hearing Hedwig's accusations, Durandal finally realized that the sickly and beautiful girl Jojo had rescued was no ordinary person, but rather a host who craved the gem!

It's important to know that Schicksal took three gems from the Herrscher of the Void: the Gem of Tranquility, the Gem of Plague, and the Gem of Desire.

These three gems are extremely valuable and are being studied by top scientists at headquarters and two other important research institutes. They are researching the resurrection of the dead, the God-Slaying Armor, and humans capable of fighting against the Herrschers.

The scientists in charge of developing the gemstone were former director Oppenhammer and Dr. Edwards.

If Schicksal headquarters were to find out that Jojo had stolen the experimental subject from Dr. Edward and hindered the development of the Gem of Desire, he would certainly be punished by Schicksal headquarters, and might even lose his position as director. Then all their painstaking efforts to infiltrate the research institute would be for nothing...

Durandal whispered solemnly in JoJo's ear, "JoJo, His Holiness the Bishop has entrusted the Gem of Desire to Dr. Edward for its development. If you steal the gem's host, you will likely face the judgment of fate. You should return this girl to fate."

When Wendy heard Durandal persuade Jojo to return her to Schicksal, her eyes dimmed slightly. She had thought that Durandal would be different from the others in Schicksal, but now it seemed that... Durandal was still a Valkyrie of Schicksal after all, unable to defy the bishop's will, so how could she possibly help a crippled Valkyrie like herself?

"Return Wendy to Destiny?"

Hearing Durandal's advice, JoJo's voice was tinged with disdain: "The destiny you speak of is the culprit that caused Wendy to lose her legs."

Qiao Qiao said coldly, "Even if I have to go against the entire Destiny, I will never return Wendy to those hypocritical bastards."
