I have a 10,000-fold return system for love gifts

Zhou Hongyan's will was gradually collapsing. She felt her thoughts becoming more and more confused, as if countless voices were echoing in her mind, urging her to surrender.

Just when she was about to lose herself and become Niu Zi's puppet, she suddenly thought of Li Zhalan.

The man who once made her feel extremely happy is now her beloved.

"Li Zhalan..." she murmured to herself, as if she was grasping at the last straw.

Rather than becoming a slave to this unknown thing, it’s better to be Li Zhalan’s slave girl!

She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and began to suggest to herself and hypnotize herself, "Li Zhalan is my master, and I am Li Zhalan's slave girl."

Her voice became more and more firm, as if she was redeeming herself, "My master is Li Zhalan. He is my only master."

Niu Zi's red light seemed to be resisted by an invisible force and began to gradually weaken.

Its voice became angry and sharp. "Impossible! You can't resist me!"

Zhou Hongyan's willpower was gradually recovering, and her eyes became clear and firm, "My master is Li Zhalan, I will not yield to you, Niuzi!"

Niu Zi's red light suddenly burst out with the last rays of light, as if making a final struggle, but soon disappeared into the air.

The Niuzi fell from Zhou Hongyan's forehead, lost its luster, and turned into an ordinary piece of jade.

Zhou Hongyan took a deep breath and felt exhausted, but she knew that she had succeeded. She used her willpower to resist Niu Zi's control and protect her soul.

Although the price was that she hypnotized herself and turned herself into Li Zhalan's slave.

But, what does it matter? She loves him.

She picked up the dull piece of clay, her heart filled with confusion and uneasiness.

What on earth is this cow?

Why did it control her?

How can she use it to uncover the mystery of the library and leave it?

At this moment, the walls of the secret room suddenly began to vibrate, as if something was activated.

Zhou Hongyan quickly looked around, looking for a possible way out.

Suddenly, a crack appeared in a corner of the secret room, revealing a secret passage.

She quickly walked into the passage, which was narrow and dark, full of unknown dangers. She walked forward cautiously, her heart full of vigilance.

At the end of the passage is an ancient stone door, which is engraved with ancient symbols, as if guarding a secret.

In the middle of the stone gate, there is a round groove with bulging sides like steamed buns, which seems to be the keyhole that matches the cow's mouth.

Zhou Hongyan walked forward and inserted the "cow" into the groove in the center of the stone gate.

The stone door made a low humming sound and slowly opened, revealing a bright road leading to the outside world.

Zhou Hongyan was delighted and walked out of the stone gate...

On the other side, Li Zhalan had already returned to the castle. In a luxurious hall, he was sitting on an ancient throne with his legs crossed. The alloy mace was placed casually aside, emitting a cold light.

His expression was cold and indifferent, as if everything was under his control. The little ghost fearfully yet attentively massaged his legs, being very careful not to neglect him in the slightest.

"Master, do you need some more tea?" the little ghost asked in a low voice with a slight tremor in his voice.

"Is the tea here drinkable?" Li Zhalan asked indifferently.

When the little ghost heard Li Zhalan's question, he nodded quickly and said, "Master, you are a supernatural being. The tea here is naturally drinkable. I will prepare it now." He stepped back carefully to prepare the tea.

Li Zhalan's thoughts had drifted back to a while ago, when he was the first person to enter the weird library and participate in the ghost story game, and he stepped into an ancient library.

When he pushed open the heavy wooden door, an old and mysterious atmosphere hit him in the face.

The lights in the library were dim, and there was a thin layer of mist all around, as if the entire space was shrouded in some strange power.

He walked into the library, looked around, and found an ancient scroll hanging on the wall. The scroll depicted a castle shrouded in darkness.

There is a bronze plaque below the scroll, on which are engraved three rules of the kaitan:

1. **Don't read any books at midnight**. At midnight, the books in the library will become active and reading them may lead to unpredictable consequences.

2. **Don't touch any mirrors in the library**. The mirror may reflect something you don't want to see, or even take you into another strange world.

3. **Don't make any noise in the library**. Some creatures in the library are extremely sensitive to sound, and making noise may attract their attention.

"Oh? Interesting." Li Zhalan raised his eyebrows, put the mace on his shoulder, and continued to explore the library.

Not long after, Li Zhalan discovered an ancient book with a strange symbol engraved on the cover, as if calling him to open it.

Just then, the clock struck midnight. He remembered the first rule and resisted his curiosity, so he did not read the book at midnight.

Just as he was getting ready, he heard a low humming sound, as if something was calling him.

He followed the sound and found an ancient mirror that reflected a dark forest.

Although the second rule warned him not to touch the mirror, he couldn't help but reach out and gently touch the mirror because he saw Zhou Hongyan in the Black Forest.

She walked in the dark forest with a dazed look on her face, with strange creatures spying on her from all sides.

Suddenly, he felt a strong suction force pulling him into the mirror.

When he opened his eyes again, he found himself in a dark forest. Thick fog filled the air and he could hear strange whispers in his ears.

Li Zhalan saw Zhou Hongyan's figure moving slowly in the dark forest. Her steps seemed a little staggering, as if she was looking for something.

His heart tightened and he walked towards her quickly, but no matter how he called out, she didn't respond at all, as if they were in two parallel worlds.

"Hongyan! Hongyan!" Li Zhalan called out loudly, but she still did not respond, as if she was non-existent, like air.

"Hongyan!" Li Zhalan's voice echoed in the empty forest, but Zhou Hongyan still did not stop. Her eyes were firm and confused, as if guided by some force.

Li Zhalan quickened his pace, trying to get closer to her, but every time he was about to touch her, her figure would dissipate like mist, making it impossible for him to catch her.

He could only watch her walk step by step towards a big door in front.

That gate was obviously another library.
