Early the next morning, Ke Jin took Ou Nuo to the outpost outside the city.

Mobis is just a satellite, and the military base is built on the main planet. It is not so easy to go there, and you need to report and register at the outpost. Because of Qing Buyu's relationship here, Ke Jin planned to directly request a meeting with Major General Leng Yan, even if it was just to pass on a message, but the answer they got was -

"Sorry, Major General Leng Yan is out on a mission and is not in the base at the moment." The liaison officer at the outpost replied.

Not here? What a coincidence?

"Then can we apply to use the base's communication equipment?" Ke Jin thought for a moment and changed his request, "I want to contact my relatives and friends in the outer galaxy."

There is no way to contact the outside world on Mobis, even with the contact card. You must obtain permission from the military and use the military's special equipment. Since it is temporarily impossible to communicate with Major General Leng Yan, Ke Jin plans to tell Qi about the abnormal situation in the card pool, maybe the other party will know something.

The liaison officer looked at him and still shook his head.

"Sorry, the base has closed the external communication window. Currently, no one on Mobis is allowed to contact the outside world." The liaison officer paused and added, "The military base is currently under martial law. The communication window can only be reopened after the martial law is lifted."

"What? Martial law?"

Not only did Ke Jin open his mouth in surprise, Oloy also raised his eyebrows in surprise. It has only been a week since Qing Buyu and the others left. A week ago, everything was normal. Moreover, they stayed in Mobis City these days and had not heard about the base being under martial law or external communications being cut off.

Of course, it is also possible that the residents of Mobis City are unaware of this. After all, except for outsiders like Ke Jin who have just arrived, other locals have no need for external communications.

"When can martial law be lifted?" Ke Jin asked.

"I don't know." The liaison officer shook his head. "Maybe soon, maybe a long time."

"Okay, I got it." Ke Jin sighed, "Sir, if Major General Leng Yan comes back, can you notify me?" Ke Jin said as he handed over a note with his contact number on it.

He felt anxious about not being able to report the card pool, but apart from waiting for Major General Leng Yan to return, Ke Jin had no other choice - not only did he not know any other military personnel except Major General Leng Yan, but more importantly: he suspected that the black card and the "Devil King" had light, but it was just a guess without solid evidence. If the other party was not an acquaintance, he was afraid that he would be regarded as deliberately creating panic and driven away after just a few words.

The liaison officer took the note and nodded to Ke Jin: "Okay."

The other party didn't say anything else. His expression and eyes indicated that Ke Jin and the others should leave. Ke Jin finally politely thanked the liaison officer and walked out with Oloy.

After the two walked out of the door, Orloy looked up at a light blue planet in the sky - that was the main star where the military base was located, and it could be clearly seen from Mobis regardless of day or night.

"Don't you think it's a bit too coincidental?" Orloy said suddenly.

Ke Jin glanced at the people around him and said, "Do you feel the same way?"

Oloy nodded and said slowly: "The base was under martial law, the communication window was cut off, Leng Yan suddenly left to perform a mission, and..."

Ke Jin continued what Oloy said: "...The abnormality in my card pool happened in the past few days."

Oloy was silent for a while, then asked abruptly, "Why did you choose to open the card pool here?"

...In order to complete the system tasks in time!

But there was no way he could say this out loud. Ke Jin hesitated for a moment and considered what to say.

"You have your secrets, and I have mine." He said slowly, "But my choice to open the card pool here was an accident. It definitely has nothing to do with the Demon King. Don't worry about that."

"Really?" Oroi gave him a disapproving look. "But you said that the black card also showed abnormalities during the hijacking, right? Are you sure there is no interference from the will of the Demon King?"

Ke Jin couldn't help but be stunned. The more he thought about it, the more horrified he became. A chill suddenly rose from the bottom of his heart and his face looked a little ugly.

“…Actually, you don’t have to worry too much.” Oloy raised his chin. When he was a child, he always gave people a sense of arrogance of pretending to be mature when doing this action. But after returning to his true form, although one can still feel the arrogance between his brows, it is more of a self-confidence and free and easy calmness.

"As long as I'm here, no one can touch you." Oloy snorted coldly, "What kind of devil is this? If he dares to come and cause trouble, just try it! I want to see what tricks he can come up with!"

Ke Jin looked at Oloy in surprise. He knew that he was not a simple man, but to be honest, he did not place his hope of fighting the Demon King on Oloy. After all, this was his own business, and it was very dangerous. No one should take such a big risk for himself. But from Oloy's tone, he had taken the matter over as a matter of course, with a clear and resolute attitude, without the slightest hesitation.

"Thank you, Oloy." Ke Jin said sincerely.

He was not a tough guy, and he was very grateful for Oloy's help. Moreover, although the residents of Mobis were very friendly, Ke Jin felt more at ease with familiar companions around, so no matter why Oloy stayed, even if there was a storm of his identity being exposed before, he was still very happy that Oloy could stay.

"It's a good thing you stayed," Ke Jin sighed and smiled at the people around him, "otherwise I probably wouldn't even be able to open the card pool now."

Oloy was startled for a moment, then quickly turned his head away, his ears slightly red.

"You, it's good that you know." He muttered softly, suddenly sped up, and walked to the front alone.

Oh, the shyness aspect is exactly the same as it was during the Uno period...

Ke Jin looked at the young man's back and smiled, then quickened his pace to catch up with him. The two of them walked towards the roadside bus station together, intending to take the bus back to the city.

The outpost and the sanatorium where Ke Jin had stayed were right next to each other, and the bus station was next to the hospital. When Ke Jin and his companions walked over, a car happened to stop at the hospital gate and a man got out. Ke Jin glanced at him casually and found that it was a familiar face.

"Major Xier?" Ke Jin called out subconsciously.

The other party was unexpectedly perceptive. He turned around immediately after hearing the voice. When they looked at each other, Ke Jin couldn't help but be shocked. It had been only a dozen days since he last saw Major Xier. The young officer with green hair and blue eyes, who was full of vigor and vitality, now seemed like a different person. He looked haggard, his complexion was very bad, and his eyes were bloodshot, as if he hadn't slept for a month.

Major Xier obviously still remembered Ke Jin. He stopped immediately and guessed that the other party might have something to say. Ke Jin hurriedly trotted over.

"Major Xier, what a coincidence, we meet again." Ke Jin greeted him formally and looked at him with a little concern, "Are you here in the hospital for recuperation?"

Major Xier smiled at Ke Jin, but it seemed difficult for him to move the corners of his mouth, and the smile looked very forced.

"No, I'm here to visit...a friend."

"Are you just visiting a friend?" Ke Jin was stunned, hesitating to speak, "But your condition..."

"I'm fine." Major Seale interrupted him, the smile on his face still looking tired and weak, "It's just that there have been a lot of things going on recently, and I'm a little tired."

"Is it related to the martial law at the base?" Ke Jin immediately made a guess.

"You already know?" Major Xier was a little surprised. "I was just about to tell you this. You are a foreigner and may need to contact the outside world, but don't try it during this period." He paused and added.

"Try not to leave Mobis City recently. This small city has been able to survive the meteor shower until now, not only relying on a few defense cards. In an emergency, it is still safer to stay in the city."

Extraordinary times?

Ke Jin wanted to ask a few more questions, but when he saw that the other party was having difficulty speaking, he immediately gave up the idea.

"Okay, I understand." Ke Jin nodded, "Thank you, Major Xier."

He and Major Seale were not related, but the other party was so tired, but he stopped to give him some advice. Ke Jin was really touched. He thought about it, felt in his pocket, took out a few cards, and handed them over.

"Major Xier, I opened a card pool in the center of Mobis City. Here are some snack cards from the pool. If you don't mind, you can take them back and try them." Ke Jin said, "I heard that eating more sweets can help soothe your mood and relieve stress... Of course, if you don't like sweet food, there are also spicy flavors here, which are also very satisfying."

Major Xier was not interested in snacks, but several of his female subordinates liked them very much, so he did not refuse and accepted Ke Jin's kindness.

"Thanks."

Major Xier casually put the card into the chest pocket of his uniform, nodded to Ke Jin, said goodbye to him, and walked into the hospital without looking back.

***

The sanatorium is extremely busy today.

When you walk into the hall, you can see doctors and nurses rushing around everywhere; when you walk through the corridor, you can see that every ward is full, which is completely different from the previous situation where nine out of ten rooms were empty.

There were many people coming to the hospital to visit their relatives and friends, and the elevator was crowded. Major Seale didn't want to wait any longer, so even though he was very tired, he chose to climb the stairs, went up to the fourth floor in one breath, and stopped in front of a door at the end of the corridor.

He took a deep breath, trying not to look too upset, and knocked gently on the door.

A kind female voice sounded in the house: "Come in."

Major Seale pushed open the door. This was a single ward. A young man with blue hair and blue eyes was lying on the bed. He looked a bit like Major Seale. He leaned against the head of the bed, staring at the opposite wall, his eyes were straight and his expression was numb. The appearance of Major Seale did not attract his attention at all. He remained in a dull state with his eyes fixed forward.

There was a middle-aged woman sitting on a chair next to the bed, writing something in a notebook in her hand. When Major Seale came in, she stood up and saluted respectfully.

"Good morning, Major Seale."

"Dr. Wens, is there any progress?" Although Major Seale had already guessed the answer from the other party's expression, he still asked with a glimmer of hope.

The lady shook her head and looked at the young man on the bed. "The effect of the hypnosis card is not ideal. Not only your brother, but everyone on this fleet has not responded. Their pollution should be the most serious. Their minds have been completely closed and cannot project anything."

Principal Xier Shao sighed and frowned painfully.

A few days ago, the magnetic field abnormality suddenly broke out in the 13th star system, which brought serious magnetic field interference and pollution. The eight fleets cruising at that time were all damaged to varying degrees - this damage was not physical, but mental, specifically manifested in the mental problems of the fleet service personnel, ranging from dizziness and vomiting, mental depression, insomnia, to mental disorder, split personality, depression or mania, and loss of self-control.

The fleet that Major Seale belongs to was the least affected one, and the doctor said that they would recover automatically after a few days of rest; but the fleet that Major Seale's brother, Siller, belongs to was the most severely affected one, and all the members seemed to have severe autism and could hardly communicate with the outside world.

Dr. Wens moved a chair for Major Seale, and the two of them sat together beside the bed, looking at the expressionless Seale in silence.

"If we can't find an effective treatment, will my brother always be..." Major Seale whispered, his voice full of bitterness, "always... like this?"

Major Seale lost both his parents when he was young, and he depended on his younger brother for everything. The two joined the army together, worked hard together, and encouraged each other. Their relationship was closer and better than that of ordinary brothers. Now his younger brother suddenly suffered this misfortune, and Major Seale was completely unable to accept it. If it were not for the timely intervention and guidance of a psychologist, he would probably be on the verge of collapse and fell into depression.

Dr. Wens knew that Major Seale had a very good relationship with his brother, but she couldn't say false words of comfort out of softness, so she could only nod heavily.

"Yes, if we don't find a breakthrough, this situation will continue."

Major Seale's breathing seemed to stop for a moment, he lowered his head and covered his face with his hands in pain. Just as he was trying his best to calm the grief in his heart, he suddenly heard Dr. Wens shouting in surprise and surprise.

"Major Seale! Look!"

Major Seale raised his head and immediately understood why Dr. Wens made such a cry - Seale, who had been staring numbly at the blank wall, now turned his head and cast a blank gaze at him.

"Siller!"

Major Xier almost jumped up in ecstasy, and hurriedly came to his brother: "Xier! Do you recognize me? Can you hear my voice? Xier!!"

Siller didn't say anything. Although he stared at Major Siller, he didn't make eye contact. But when Major Siller changed his position and walked from the left side of the bed to the right side, the young man on the bed would follow his movement and turn his head from the left to the right, as if he was consciously chasing his brother's figure.

"What's going on?" After several unsuccessful attempts at communication, Major Seale looked at Dr. Wens excitedly and anxiously.

After Siller responded, Dr. Wens had been observing his condition carefully and now had some guesses in his mind.

"Major Seale, do you have anything in your breast pocket?" Dr. Wens asked cautiously.

"He should be...looking at what's in your pocket."
