Ke Jin immediately held his breath.
He hadn't heard the system mention that he would have a partner when he opened a card pool, so this uninvited guest must be an outsider. But his yard was in the wilderness, so who would suddenly come to such a place?
Ke Jin quietly put down what he was holding, looked inside through the window, and found nothing unusual.
He didn't find the key to the house at that time, so he didn't lock the door when he went out. At this time, the door was completely open. Ke Jin tiptoed into the room and quickly found the target.
A small figure was curled up in the corner of the room. He was wearing a large black cloak and curled up in a small ball in the corner. Hearing the movement at the door, he suddenly raised his head, revealing a pair of bright and alert green eyes.
——It’s actually a child.
Ke Jin had never seen such a beautiful and delicate little boy. He looked no more than ten years old, with blond hair and blue eyes, much like the cute little angel in the posters. There was some dust on his face, but it still couldn't hide the whiteness and tenderness of his skin. Coupled with the proud and noble air between his eyebrows, he looked like a rich kid who was pampered in daily life.
However, the other party's condition was obviously very bad at the moment. The boy pursed his pale lips, his eyes were ferocious like a trapped beast, and he stared fiercely at the black-haired young man standing at the door.
“Who is it?!”
Ke Jin's original vigilance disappeared completely after he found out that the other party was just a child. Although the boy's tone was unfriendly, Ke Jin could fully understand it and even took a step back to show that he was harmless.
"Don't be afraid, I'm not a bad person." Ke Jin said kindly, "I am the owner of this house."
The boy's brows frowned even more tightly. He looked at Ke Jin suspiciously, then looked at the yard outside.
“There are people living in this shabby garbage dump?”
Ke Jin: “…”
Ke Jin: "...Yes, I am the owner of this 'junk dump'."
The boy snorted coldly, and seemed to want to say something, but his words turned into a painful gasp, and his already ugly face turned even paler than paper. He gritted his teeth and lifted his cloak a little. Although it was a bit far away, Ke Jin still saw that the boy's left shoulder was already bleeding.
"You're seriously injured." Ke Jin suddenly became a little nervous and was about to come over, "I'll take you to the hospital now."
"No!" the boy shouted. Although his voice was crisp, the extraordinary strong aura made Ke Jin stunned and he stopped involuntarily.
This kid... has quite a bad temper.
"If the wound is not treated, it will get infected," Ke Jin reminded him.
The blond boy was silent for a while, and then he whispered.
“I don’t have the identification card here, so I can’t go to the hospital.”
Do I need a magnetic ID card to go to the hospital? What is this? Is it the medical insurance card in my world?
As a new resident of this world, Ke Jin didn't understand why he couldn't go to the hospital without a card, but judging from the other party's attitude, this problem seemed quite serious.
Ke Jin stood there and thought for a while, then turned and walked out.
“Where are you going!”
The boy's nervous voice came from behind. If Ke Jin turned his head at this moment, he would find that the boy's other hand had quickly retracted under his cloak, as if he was holding something, and he looked as if he was facing a great enemy.
"Go buy some bandages and disinfectants." Ke Jin moved the bags at the door into the house. "Even though you don't want to go to the hospital, you still have to bandage the wound first, right? Children have poor resistance to begin with. If you don't treat the wound in time, it will get infected and be fatal."
The boy's frown relaxed a little, but when he heard the word "kid", the corner of his eye twitched and his expression became very strange.
Ke Jin moved the things quickly, found a bottle of drinking water and placed it in front of the boy.
"Stay here and don't run around. I'll be back in a moment."
***
Oloy silently watched the strange young man leave. He did not slowly release the attack card in his hand until the other's footsteps completely disappeared.
The wound on his left shoulder was still aching, but the more serious injury was on his right leg - when the lifeboat landed, it seemed to have hit a hard cliff, causing the cabin to deform severely and injuring his leg. He gritted his teeth and endured the pain, and it took him a lot of effort to climb out of the deformed cabin.
A day ago, he would never have believed that such an unfortunate spaceship accident would happen to him.
He, Orloy Odin, is the fourth prince of the royal family of the largest imperial galaxy in the universe. From childhood to adulthood, everyone from his elder brothers and sisters to his ministers and servants have doted on him and tried to please him in every way, and he has never encountered any unpleasant things. He himself is also gifted and has even better luck than the "No. 1 Luck Master of the Empire". Not to mention drawing cards from the card pool that relies on luck, his daily life is also smooth sailing. He basically gets what he wants and there is almost no wish that he cannot achieve. Therefore, many people secretly call him "the darling of the goddess of luck".
However, this "favored one of God" who was extremely lucky—he had never even fallen down or choked when drinking water—was unlucky enough to encounter an interstellar storm while traveling in his private spaceship.
No, actually it was nothing to encounter a storm. He had a handful of supernatural cards in his hands, including some top special cards that could help him escape. But for some reason, his card reader seemed to have been hacked and could not be used at all!
Just like falling dominoes, after one domino fell, more chain disasters followed - the fourth prince's spaceship was sucked into a black hole in the storm. Before he fell into a coma, he used his last bit of strength to activate the lifeboat. After waking up, he found himself landing on a strange planet he had never seen before. Not only was his body covered with scars, but he was also unable to connect to the interstellar network and had no way to communicate with the imperial galaxy.
What's worse is that, perhaps due to the influence of the special magnetic field in the black hole, the card reader that had once failed was suddenly activated again during the turbulence of the spacecraft. In the chaos, some of the supernatural cards in the standby area on his body were suddenly automatically activated, probably including a time-reversal card, which caused his body to directly regress to the state of ten years ago and turned him into a 9-year-old child.
...This is such bad luck.
After Oloy climbed out of the lifeboat, it took him a long time to accept the fact that "I really encountered a complete disaster in my life." He dragged his injured body through the forest for most of the day and finally saw the lonely Kachi courtyard.
In the past, he would have felt disgusted at the sight of such a shabby yard, but now that he was at his wit's end, he could only suppress his psychological discomfort and come in to rest for a while.
When he came in, he saw that the card pool in the courtyard was not open, and thought that there was no card user here - after all, the location was so bad, and a card user with a little bit of brains would not choose to open a card pool in such a remote place - he didn't expect that there were actually people living here!
Oloy sat in the quiet room for a while, and unscrewed the drinking water left by the man in a depressed mood.
In his past experience, this kind of cheap bottled water was only drunk by the poorest people. Now he had fallen to such a fate. If his mother knew about it, she would definitely cry out of pain... Uh, it seems to taste okay? He thought this kind of water would smell sour...!
The noble prince who "did not care about worldly things" drank half a bottle of water with dignity. After his emotions stabilized, he replayed his experience in his mind.
He didn't think so before, but now thinking back, it seemed a little strange that he suddenly couldn't use the ability card to avoid danger.
His card reader was built-in and bound to the body-sensing optical computer. It used the most advanced and cutting-edge technology in the empire. It was impossible for it to fail for no reason.
So... could it be that someone was interfering? Was he trying to harm him on purpose?
When this thought came to mind, Oloy's expression suddenly became serious.
Given his special status and position, it is possible that he was assassinated. Perhaps he was lucky enough to have avoided it in the past, but this time he was unlucky enough to be targeted.
If someone really planned this, he would have to be on guard. At least in this strange place, his identity must not be exposed. Who knows if the other party would follow the clues and find him after seeing the wreckage of the crashed spacecraft?
——The real Fourth Prince Orloy, who had no idea that no one would believe him even if he shouted “I’m a prince!!” after his body shrunk, secretly made up his mind at this moment.
Well, keep it secret.
No one must be allowed to know that he is the fourth prince of the Imperial Galaxy!
