Something's wrong with my roommate

Chapter 432
With the help of specific drugs and vaccines, this sudden plague was quickly extinguished, coming and going in a hurry.

The bloody battle between Evelyn and Anna also temporarily came to an end, because a large number of people on both sides died of illness, and Evelyn's side was much more serious, and there was a shortage of manpower, so they had to stop.

After the plague, the entire Violet family lived a rare period of peace because of this. There were no shootings, explosions, or deaths.

Taking advantage of this time, Xu Cheng went out day and night, and investigated all the remaining people on the list, including Anna's house, which he visited several times.

In the end, Ito Rika's whereabouts were still not found, nor did she meet the previous female Spiderman.

In his opinion, there are only two possibilities for this to happen.

The first is that there is a problem with his thinking. These direct descendants who have left Europe have nothing to do with Ito Rika's disappearance.

The second is that Ito Rika was placed in a very secret place, and even had special care, so he couldn't find it.

No matter what the possibility is, Xu Cheng's investigation is already in trouble. Even if he turns into a shadow and runs around every night, he really can't find any useful clues.

As for Evelyn, due to the large loss of intelligence personnel in the plague and the struggle with Anna, she is currently seriously understaffed and can no longer help.

Half a month later, the Violet family ushered in Christmas, and the originally tense and solemn atmosphere finally relaxed a little.

All over the manor estates began to decorate Christmas trees and ball garlands, bringing a little festive atmosphere to this cold winter.

According to the custom, on Christmas Eve, the Violet family will hold a grand Christmas ball, especially after suffering from the plague this year, it should be even more lively.

Snow Mountain Manor was also very festively dressed, both the servants and guards were all smiling.

Every year at this time, Evelyn would prepare a heavy Christmas gift for everyone, at least half a year's salary.

"I'm so jealous that you can go to the ball."

Dinah, who was half lying on the bed, looked disappointed: "But I can only lie at home, and I can't go anywhere."

Although she recovered her life from the plague, the serious illness still made Dinah weak so far. She has not yet recovered and cannot exercise vigorously, so she can only rest at home.

In previous years, she was looking forward to the Christmas ball the most. It was a pity that she couldn't go this year. What made her even more disappointed was that her sister would go to the ball with Archer and leave her alone at home, which made her feel abandoned.

Xu Cheng, who was sitting by the bed, said without raising his head, "Then do you want me to stay with you?"

Dinah subconsciously wanted to agree, but finally shook her head: "Forget it, you can stay with me at home anytime, and the Christmas ball only happens once a year."

Xu Cheng glanced at her: "When did you become so reasonable?"

Dinah suddenly puffed up her mouth: "I've always been so reasonable."

She lied. In fact, she really wanted Xu Cheng to stay with her, but her sister would definitely not agree, and instead would teach herself a lesson.

It's better to pretend to be generous than to make capricious demands that are sure not to be fulfilled.

"Yes, sensible aunt."

"Don't call me aunt..."

Dinah muttered in a low voice, she used to like to hear Archie call herself that, but now she felt that the name "auntie" was very harsh, and locked the identities of the two of them at once.

She quietly looked at Xu Cheng's side face, and suddenly blushed and asked in a low voice, "When I was dying of illness that day...that incident...do you remember?"

Xu Cheng looked at her suspiciously: "What's the matter?"

The shyness on Dinah's face immediately turned into anger, and she turned her face away: "Hmph, forget it if you don't remember."

Xu Cheng knew what Dinah was referring to, but he was not in the mood to pick up girls right now, and he had been having a headache lately and couldn't find the whereabouts of Ito Rika.

The bedroom door was suddenly pushed open, and Evelyn walked in dressed up.

She was wearing a low-cut evening dress, revealing her huge slippery old shoulders and delicate collarbone that could raise goldfish. Her neck was as slender as a swan, and her skin had the texture of fine porcelain under the light, which was dazzling.

She was dressed in a blue dress, which matched her arrogant and glamorous temperament, like the ice and snow princess who came out of the story.

Even Xu Cheng, who was used to seeing goddesses, was slightly amazed at this moment.

And Evelyn is also very satisfied with Xu Cheng who is wearing a men's dress. Although this nephew is still relatively young, he has already shown an excellent appearance. Wearing a dress, he looks like a young and handsome prince.

"Archer, let's go."

Xu Cheng got up and walked over, and stretched out his arms to her in accordance with the code of conduct of a gentleman and a lady.

Evelyn gave a rare look of approval, then reached out and gently hooked his arm.

According to the custom of the Christmas ball, the adult direct descendants need to find a dance partner to attend the party, otherwise they will be laughed at.

Evelyn had been secretly ridiculed when she attended the ball alone in previous years, but this year she was finally able to feel proud.

She and Xu Cheng stood together, although it could not be said that they were a match made in heaven, but the handsome man and beautiful woman were enough to blind people's eyes.

Dinah's eyes were stung, and she couldn't help but said: "Sister, aren't you afraid of being laughed at, use your own nephew to make up the number."

"There is no rule that they cannot be relatives."

Evelyn replied lightly, and at the same time glanced at her sister: "I know what you're thinking, rest at ease."

Dinah felt that her sister's words hit her heart, and she immediately became guilty, and she lowered her head and dared not say anything.

Looking at her autistic sister, Evelyn sighed in her heart, turned her head to look at Xu Cheng's side face, and then left the bedroom with his arm.

The two dressed up, under the service of the servants, left the mansion all the way to the gate, where the captain of the guard, Ed, had led the convoy to wait for a long time.

The two got into the car together, and the convoy left the manor and drove towards the castle where the Christmas ball was held.

At the same time, in the lake manor.

Virgil was walking back and forth in the living room, this action showed his inner anxiety, but the smile on his face was full of anticipation.

After disposing of his fiancée, Virgil became a happy single dog again, but he remembered Qiu Gongyue's warning, and he didn't rush to pursue him, but just asked for his warmth every day.

However, after being quarreled by his fiancée last time, Qiu Gongyue's attitude towards Virgil changed from friendly to vigilant, keeping a sufficient distance from him no matter what he did.

Virgil saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart, but he didn't dare to fight hard-mainly because he couldn't beat it.

He waited anxiously, and finally let him wait for a good opportunity. Tonight's Christmas ball, if he seized the opportunity, maybe the relationship between the two could advance by leaps and bounds.

For this reason, Virgil invited Qiu Gongyue to attend the Christmas ball with him on the grounds that he might be in danger tonight.

Considering the safety of his collaborators, Qiu Gongyue agreed, and Virgil immediately gave Qiu Gongyue the artificial evening dress he bought with a lot of money.

He is now in a mood of great anticipation, and can't wait to see Qiu Gongyue in an evening dress.

The door of the living room was pushed open suddenly, and Virgil looked over with joy, but the smile on his face suddenly froze.

Qiu Gongyue didn't change into his well-prepared evening dress at all, and was still wearing regular clothes.

After being astonished, he asked eagerly: "Miss Xu Yue, why don't you wear an evening dress?"

Qiu Gongyue said lightly: "You prepared those for your fiancée? Keep them well. It would be too wasteful for others to wear them. I'll just wear my own clothes."

Virgil said hurriedly: "If you don't wear an evening gown, you can't go to the ball."

Qiu Gongyue shook her head: "Don't worry, no one can find me, including the Archer vt. Grant you mentioned, I will keep an eye on him."

That kind of thing doesn't matter at all!
Virgil roared in his heart, but he couldn't find a suitable reason in his eagerness.

"So be it."

Qiu Gongyue waved her hand, turned around and walked out of the living room.

How could she not see what this guy was thinking, so she didn't give him a chance at all.

Virgil stared at Qiu Gongyue's back with a look of complete disappointment.

……

After Xu Cheng and Evelyn left, Dinah sat quietly on the bed, fiddling with her phone boredly.

The mobile phone signal has disappeared, and I cannot access the Internet, make calls, or contact the outside world, because the nearby base station was destroyed by mutated animals, and there is no government organization to repair it.

Now only the Violet family is still in the mood to hold a Christmas ball in this paradise, the outside world has long been in a mess.

After putting down her phone, Dinah picked up a novel to read again, but she didn't feel in the mood to read it at all. She quickly flipped through a few pages and threw it aside, replacing it with a magazine.

The fate of the magazine is the same. It was thrown away after less than half a minute.

"Ahhhh!"

Dinah put her head in her hands and cried out in annoyance.

No matter what she does, there are always messy thoughts in her mind.

What about "the sister and Archer sparked after dancing to a song at the ball", what "the drunk sister reversed Archer with the help of alcohol", and what "the reversed Archer fell in love with his sister in Stockholm".

"Miss, what's wrong?"

The flustered little maid barged in.

Dinah, who was making monkey noises, suddenly returned to her ladylike state, waved her hand and said, "It's okay, I'm practicing my voice, you can go out."

"Train your voice?"

The little maid was stunned for a moment, but Dinah's urge to ask more was interrupted by Dinah's wanting eyes, and she hurriedly turned around to guard outside the door.

After the little maid left, Dinah sighed deeply.

She knew that she was poisoned.

In a poison called liking.

At the moment when she was infected with the plague and was on the verge of death, Dinah grew up and figured out many things that were ignorant before.

But why do you like it?
Dinah herself didn't know, she obviously hated this guy so much before.

It's just that from that day when I was with my sister and was protected by this guy in the corner with my life, my dislike for him suddenly turned into a good impression.

I like to play with him, I like to see his good-looking face and nice voice, I miss him very much after being apart for a while, and I feel very uncomfortable seeing him with other women.

In fact, this guy is just a little handsome, a little humorous, a little talent, a little strength, a little sense of security...

Dinah counted Xu Cheng's excellence in her heart, trying to find a few shortcomings, but in the end, she smirked foolishly while counting.

thump!

The sound of heavy objects falling to the ground suddenly awakened Dinah from her fantasy.

She hastily wiped away the wet marks on the corners of her mouth with her hands, and shouted to the door: "What's the matter?"

The little maid's voice didn't sound, and there was silence outside.

Dinah thought that the little maid had left for something, but suddenly realized something was wrong.

Too quiet.

The whole manor seemed to be in dead silence, without any movement.

Tonight is Christmas Eve, and Christmas music will be played throughout the night in the manor, and the servants and guards will have dinner and entertainment together until late at night.

Dinah could still hear music and talking and laughing just now, why is there no sound at all now.

Just as she was about to get up, she saw the bedroom door being pushed open, and a woman in a tight black leather jacket and a black hood walked in.

Dinah was taken aback for a moment, and immediately used her ability, and she quickly entered a state of invisibility.

Take!
The woman in black raised her hand, and a throwing knife suddenly shot, flew past Dinah's cheek, and sank deep into the wall behind her, scaring her out of her invisible state.

"You can try again to see if your stealth speed is faster, or my knife is faster?"

A mocking voice sounded from under the woman's mask: "The next time I'll aim at that pretty face of yours."

Dinah swallowed, tried to suppress the panic in her heart, and calmed down on her face: "What are you going to do?"

"Oh?"

The woman let out a sound of surprise at Dinah's ability to regain her composure so quickly.

I thought that this family, namely Evelyn and Archer, was more difficult, but I didn't expect a little girl to be so calm.

Leave it alone, maybe it will become the second Evelyn in the future.

"Don't worry, I just invite you to be a guest."

The woman in black smiled, then walked towards Dinah, and took out a handkerchief from her body: "Be good, don't resist, and you won't get hurt."

Dinah didn't resist, she was well aware of the strength gap between the two sides, and resistance was useless.

"You better do what you say and don't hurt me."

Dinah said calmly: "Otherwise, my sister and Archer will never let you go. You have been reduced to taking me as a hostage. You must be very aware of their capabilities."

The face of the woman in black changed slightly, as if she was annoyed at being talked about.

If it wasn't for Archer and Evelyn's troublesomeness, why would they come here to kidnap a little girl.

She wanted to teach the little girl a lesson, but in the end she didn't dare, she just covered Dinah's mouth and nose with a handkerchief, knocked her out, then wrapped her in a quilt, picked her up and carried her away.

Not long after the woman in black took Dinah away, Xu Cheng slowly emerged from a shadow in the empty bedroom.

After the woman in black came in, he watched the whole process and watched Dinah be taken away, because this was originally part of the plan-to lure the snake out of the hole.

Evelyn judged that Anna would definitely do something on Christmas Eve, and under the premise that Xu Cheng repeatedly guaranteed Dinah's safety, Evelyn agreed to let her sister stay at home and act as a bait.

However, what Evelyn thought was the bait: the enemy was attracted by Dinah to the manor, and then Xu Cheng wiped out all the enemies.

But Xu Cheng has a different idea. In his plan, Dinah, who is used as a bait, will be captured by the enemy, and the enemy's lair will be exposed by the way.

All tactics turn to stealing home, killing a few cannon fodder is meaningless, stealing home is the key to victory.
