The next morning, Shen An put on the washed-out jeans.

He knew that his days of escape were over.

When he walked downstairs, a luxury car was already waiting there.

Several bodyguards in suits and leather shoes respectfully opened the door for him.

"Sir, please get in the car. Madam is waiting for you." One of the bodyguards said.

The system said excitedly: "Wow, host! You are going back to 'home'~"

Shen An smiled bitterly: "What kind of home is this..."

There was no conversation along the way, and the car finally stopped in front of the familiar luxury villa.

Shen An slowly got out of the car and looked at the building in front of him with mixed feelings.

At the door of the villa, the butler and a group of maids were already waiting in line.

When they saw Shen An, they all showed happy smiles on their faces.

"Welcome home, sir." The butler said respectfully.

Shen An forced a smile and walked into the villa helplessly.

Familiar decoration, familiar fragrance, everything seemed as if he had never left.

The system teased: "Oh, host, you don't look happy at all~"

Shen An whispered back: "Do you think I should be happy?"

Just then, an elegant figure appeared at the top of the stairs.

Gu Rou walked down slowly.

"Welcome home, dear."

Gu Rou said softly, with a hint of gloom in her eyes.

"We have a lot to talk about."

Gu Rou sat elegantly on the sofa, took out a contract from her bag, and gently placed it on the coffee table.

"Dear, do you know? You breached the contract."

She said with a smile, but her eyes were as cold as a knife.

Shen An's heart sank: "What do you mean?"

Gu Rou explained slowly: "Remember our agreement? I will pay for your family's medical expenses, and you... will stay with me forever."

She sighed softly: "It's a pity that you chose to run away. Now, all the promises may become a bubble."

Shen An was silent. He couldn't let the original owner's family die because of his own fault.

Gu Rou looked at Shen An's painful expression, and a trace of joy flashed in her eyes: "What should I do? Why don't you... beg me?"

She gently stroked Shen An's cheek: "After all, I love you so much."

Shen An struggled internally, wanting to protect the original owner's family, but unwilling to succumb to Gu Rou's control.

The system whispered: "Host, the key now is to save the original owner's family... We will find a way to deal with the rest later. This is a fixed plot."

Shen An took a deep breath and knelt slowly: "Please... don't hurt them. I... I am willing to stay."

Gu Rou smiled with satisfaction: "This is my good child."

She leaned over and whispered in Shen An's ear: "But you have to pay the price."

Shen An felt himself being pushed down the stairs, and the air around him became damp and cold.

His eyes were covered, and he completely lost the perception of light.

"System... Where is this?"

The system's voice also seemed a little nervous: "It looks like the basement... Host, be careful."

Shen An heard the sound of metal colliding, and then felt the cold chains wrapped around his wrists and ankles.

Gu Rou's voice sounded in the darkness, with a hint of pleasure: "Dear, this is your new home. I hope you can reflect on yourself."

Shen An tried to struggle, but the chains did not move: "Gu Rou, what do you want?"

Gu Rou smiled softly: "What do I want? I just want you to belong to me forever."

Her fingers gently stroked Shen An's cheek, and Shen An trembled involuntarily.

"Enjoy this darkness, dear."

After Gu Rou finished speaking, the footsteps gradually faded away.

Shen An heard the sound of the heavy door being closed, and the surroundings fell into a dead silence.

Shen An spent an unknown amount of time in the darkness, and finally couldn't help asking: "System, this... is this a plot arrangement?"

The system was silent for a while, and there was confusion in its voice: "Host... this plot is not in the book. Maybe... maybe the small world is out of control."

Shen An's heart sank: "What? What should we do then?"

The system said helplessly: "We can only take it one step at a time, host, be careful."

In this way, Shen An was forced to adapt to this life of blinded perception.

Gu Rou would come to see him every day, and her arrival became the only moment he looked forward to.

"Dear, do you miss me?" Gu Rou's voice always carried a sweet smile.

Shen An knew he shouldn't, but he did begin to look forward to Gu Rou's arrival.

Her voice, her touch, became his only comfort in the dark.

Usually, those who guarded him would give him a certain amount of space to move around and solve basic living needs.

But most of the time, he was isolated in this world of lack of perception.

IceThe cold chains gradually became commonplace from the initial discomfort.

Shen An realized that Gu Rou wanted to use this method to make him completely dependent on her and regard her as the only light.

"Just like a dog with Stockholm syndrome..."

Shen An thought with a wry smile.

The system said worriedly: "Host, you have to stay awake. Don't really be brainwashed by her."

Shen An responded softly: "I know... but system, I really don't know how long I can hold on..."

In this out-of-control little world, Shen An felt that he was sliding into the abyss step by step.

And Gu Rou was the devil who lured him to fall...

Another week passed. Shen An found that he was actually getting used to this dark life.

He became more and more silent, as if he had lost the desire to communicate with the outside world.

The only thing that could comfort him was Gu Rou's arrival.

"Dear, do you miss me?" Gu Rou's voice was like a ray of sunshine in the darkness.

Shen An nodded involuntarily, and then regretted his weakness.

Gu Rou gently stroked his hair, as if stroking a big pet: "What a good boy."

Shen An felt her touch and struggled in his heart.

Part of him longed for this warmth, and the other part was frantically warning himself not to sink.

"I want to go home... I have to leave this little world..." Shen An told himself over and over again in his heart.

Another week passed.

When Shen An was taken out of the basement again, his eyes had become confused and docile.

The eyes that were once full of resistance were now only obedient.

Gu Rou gracefully pulled the tie around his neck, like a loyal pet.

She waved gently, and Shen An immediately came to her side docilely, his eyes full of expectations for the owner's recognition.

"So good." Gu Rou stroked his hair and smiled with satisfaction.

The system called anxiously: "Host! Host! Wake up!"

But Shen An's consciousness seemed to sink into the deep sea, and he had no response to the system's call.

All his attention was focused on Gu Rou, eager to get every touch and every compliment from her.

Gu Rou took Shen An into the living room, and the other servants showed surprised expressions when they saw this scene.

But no one dared to say anything.

"Dear, sit down." Gu Rou ordered softly.

Shen An immediately knelt down obediently at Gu Rou's feet, with his head gently resting on her knees.

Gu Rou stroked his hair with satisfaction, as if rewarding an obedient pet.

The system almost collapsed: "Host! Wake up! This is not the real you!"

But Shen An still had no reaction. He was immersed in the warmth given by Gu Rou, as if he had found the whole meaning of life.

Gu Rou leaned over and whispered in Shen An's ear: "Tell me, who do you love the most?"

Shen An answered without hesitation: "I love you the most, Master."

Gu Rou smiled with satisfaction, and the system fell into despair.

In this out-of-control little world, Shen An seemed to have completely lost himself...
