The "friend" that Nurse Bis mentioned arrived in time before noon.
"Thank God, you finally woke up!"
As soon as the other party entered the room and saw Ke Jin leaning on the bed, he first breathed a sigh of relief exaggeratedly, then ran to the bed with a happy face and looked at Ke Jin left and right.
"Well, you seem to be in good spirits. It seems that there is really no serious problem. The doctor said that your heartbeat almost stopped for a while. It was really scary. Although the injury to your right shoulder was very serious, how could you almost lose your life!"
Ke Jin: “…………”
Brother, who are you? I don’t even know you!!
The person in front of him was a handsome boy with blue hair. Ke Jin was certain that he had never seen him before. Seeing that the other party kept chattering and had no intention of introducing himself, Ke Jin could only bite the bullet and interrupt him.
"Uh, excuse me, who are you?"
The other party was stunned for a moment, and asked back: "You didn't recognize me?"
"Have we met before?"
Immediately afterwards, Ke Jin received a look of strong condemnation from the other party—a look as if he was looking at a scumbag who had seduced her and then abandoned her.
No matter how much you glare at me, it’s useless… if you don’t know me, then you don’t know me!
Seeing that Ke Jin really seemed to have no impression, the boy sighed quietly, took out a pair of round-frame glasses from his pocket and put them on his nose without saying a word, then he gathered his short dark blue hair, pretended to be shy, and spoke in a soft voice.
"Thank you for helping me catch that pervert who took the photos. You are such a good person~"
Ke Jin: “………………”
Ke Jin: "Momo? You are Momo??? Is it really you???"
"You don't have to scream so exaggeratedly, right?" The boy covered his ears as if he couldn't stand it, but his expression was smiling. "But it seems that you have recovered well. You can actually scream so loudly."
"You you you you..." Ke Jin pointed at him for a long time without saying anything, "You you you you are not..."
"Yes, I'm not actually a girl, but a genuine man." Momo patted her flat chest with some pride and made a playful face to Ke Jin, "It's just a little disguise when I go out, don't make such a fuss."
How could it not be surprising? Why would a normal man need to disguise himself as a girl when going out?
...and he disguises himself so well!
Perhaps having heard Ke Jin's thoughts, Momo simply pulled over a chair and sat beside the bed. She was no longer smiling playfully, but became a little serious.
"Actually, I should apologize to you for this matter."
"Are you talking about the cross-dressing thing?" Ke Jin was stunned. "Although I was shocked, I don't need to apologize..."
Momo shook his head: "It's not this, it's the hijacking that happened."
Ke Jin was startled, and suddenly an idea popped up in his mind, and his expression became stunned: "Could it be that you are..."
"Yeah." Momo nodded, "I am actually the Chosen One."
Seeing Ke Jin open his mouth in surprise, Momo scratched his face a little ashamedly: "I have never been far away before. I only heard that people outside are not friendly to the Chosen Ones, so I disguised myself as a girl for the sake of caution. I didn't expect to encounter such a thing. And I was really too scared at the time, so I didn't dare to stand up, and I got you injured. I'm sorry..."
Ke Jin immediately shook his head: "No, no, I understand."
I didn't dare to stand up at that time. No one would dare to reveal their identity easily if they encountered such a thing!
"But it's really weird." Momo frowned in confusion. "We're isolated from the outside world all year round. I went out secretly this time and it took a lot of effort to get out. It doesn't make sense that I would be targeted as soon as I went out. How did those people know that there was a Chosen One on the plane? It's really weird."
Ke Jin: “Uh…”
Actually, Ke Jin also wanted to know this question, but compared to Momo who had been staying in the 13th galaxy where the military was stationed all year round, Ke Jin felt that he was more likely to be exposed, so in this hijacking incident, maybe he was the one who dragged Momo and the others down...
"You actually trust me so much?" Ke Jin couldn't help but ask, "I'm not a native, but an outsider. Isn't it dangerous to easily tell me that you are the Chosen One?"
The boy smiled slyly, "So what if you know? The Thirteenth Galaxy is not a place where ordinary people can come whenever they want. The Federation military is guarding here. Those space pirates would be crazy to come here to rob people. I'm not afraid to tell you that many Chosen Ones who were chased outside have fled here for refuge - of course, the premise is that they can convince the military to let them in. After all, if outsiders want to stay here for a long time, they also need the military's review and permission."
"Why does the military guard the 13th star system so closely?" Ke Jin was very surprised. "Is this considered a key military location?"
"It's all because of the 'Demon King' incident." Momo said casually, but suddenly her expression tightened, as if she had said something wrong, and she stuck out her tongue at Ke Jin, "Ah, you're from outside, so you probably haven't heard much about the 'Demon King'... Just pretend you didn't hear anything. The military doesn't allow us locals to talk about it."
If it were someone else, they might not know who the "Demon King" was, but after what happened with Su Yufeng, how could Ke Jin not remember this name? Moreover, Qi also said that the Demon King was narrow-minded and vindictive. He had suffered a loss at his hands, and he might take revenge at any time. Moreover, this time he accidentally entered the thirteenth galaxy, which happened to be related to the Demon King, which made Ke Jin almost suspect that there was another conspiracy behind this matter.
But Momo looked very secretive, and Ke Jin didn't want to continue asking questions while she was on guard, so he had to change the subject temporarily as if nothing had happened.
"Come to think of it, how long was I unconscious?" he asked. "When I woke up, everyone looked surprised. Did I sleep that long?"
"After all, considering your injuries, it's unusual for you to be unconscious for so long." Momo said as she counted on her fingers, "It's been at least ten days."
More than ten days?
Ke Jin was surprised that he had slept for so long, but the next moment, he suddenly remembered something and his expression froze.
Damn it!! I still have system tasks to complete!
——The task that required him to build a new card pool on a new planet within two weeks!!!
Ke Jin quickly read the system task list in his mind and saw the countdown column, which showed that there were only two days and six hours left.
"I want to be discharged from the hospital." Ke Jin straightened his back suddenly, threw away the thin blanket on his body, and pretended to get out of bed.
"I want to get out of here! Right now!"
***
Nurse Bis had just opened the door of the ward and had not yet had time to push the dining cart in when she heard a commotion inside.
"Hey, hey, hey, what's wrong with you all of a sudden? Lie down right now!"
"Don't pull me... I'm fully recovered! I want to be discharged from the hospital now!"
"What are you talking about! Your wounds haven't fully healed yet, stop being so willful..."
"It's really too late!! I have to leave immediately!!"
Nurse Bis clapped her hands vigorously, and after successfully attracting the attention of the two people in the room, she spoke in a friendly manner.
"What's going on, boys?" she asked. "What are you arguing about?"
"Miss Bis, this kid has gone crazy all of a sudden." Momo and Bis were obviously very familiar with each other, and she immediately complained, "He wants to be discharged early, isn't this a joke?"
"Nurse Bisi, I have to be discharged from the hospital now." Ke Jin said immediately, looking very anxious, "I have something very important to do! I have to leave here immediately!"
"Leave here?" Nurse Bis noticed this sentence keenly and asked slowly.
"Do you mean leaving the hospital, or leaving Mobius?"
"Leave Mobius." Ke Jin said, "I want to go back to the Aquarius Galaxy!"
Bisi and Momo looked at each other, they understood each other tacitly, and showed sympathetic and embarrassed expressions at the same time.
"Even if the hospital approves your discharge immediately, you can't leave," said Bisi.
"The transportation here is blocked and the military is strictly guarding. There is only one ship sailing every month, and this ship just left the port three days ago." Momo said, "By the way, all the passengers who were rescued on the previous flight left Mobis on that ship. Apart from me, a native, you are the only passenger on that flight who is still here."
Ke Jin was dumbfounded.
Of course he understood that in a place with such strict security - and with the military having full control - it was simply a pipe dream to have a spaceship sent to send him back to the Aquarius galaxy just because of his request.
If I really have to stay here for a month...
Ke Jin tremblingly tapped the system in his mind and asked nervously.
——【System, what will happen if I fail this mission? 】
The system responded quickly.
[If this mission fails, it will be counted once in the failure file. After three counts, the host will be immediately sent back to the original world.]
Ke Jin couldn't help but calm down a lot.
Well, the situation is stronger than people. If there is really no way to complete the task within the deadline, then I can only admit defeat. At most, I will use up one chance...
[Friendly reminder: This mission is the first of the new mainline serial missions. If the first level of the serial missions cannot be completed successfully, it is very likely to affect the completion of the subsequent series of missions. ]
[In view of the pleasant cooperation with the host, here is a special reminder: This system believes that the host should try his best to complete this mission~^_^ If you give up easily, you may face a worse situation later~^_^ So, please work hard~O(∩_∩)O]
Ke Jin: “………………”
Doesn't this mean that I must complete this task! ! If I don't complete it, I will die! !
"Why are you in such a hurry to go back? What exactly do you want to do?" Seeing Ke Jin's expression of despair, Momo couldn't help but ask curiously, "Can't you find someone to do it for you?"
"Actually, I'm a card user." Ke Jin said with tears in his eyes, "I have to open a new card pool right now, otherwise... otherwise I will be in big trouble."
"Well... do you still have to go to the Aquarius galaxy to open the card pool?" Momo suddenly asked.
Ke Jin was stunned: "Well, that's not necessary... But I have to get this done within two days. If I'm in an unfamiliar place, two days won't even be enough to complete the formalities."
Momo clapped his hands in relief: "No problem! If we open a card pool here, we can get it done in two hours, not to mention two days!"
Ke Jin was a little confused: "Here? You mean..."
"Although Mobis is a rather desolate planet, there are many vacant card pools." Bisi said with a smile, "Also, there is no complete card pool registration system like other planets. Basically, you can open a pool independently without going through a complicated process."
"It's just that the card pool here is a little special." Momo added, and puffed out his chest proudly, "If you didn't know me, the Chosen One, it would be a bit troublesome to open the pool immediately, but now..." He snapped his fingers and said with a smile.
"Thank your good luck, I'll take care of this! Hehe, I guarantee you'll be able to open a new card pool smoothly within two days!"
