Chapter 100 100 Fairy Tale Help

100

Unlike the eerie atmosphere on the group's side, the atmosphere on UN's side was generally cheerful.

Barry and Exupé completed the task perfectly, and according to Exupé's description of the combination's reaction (Barry's own description would be filled with a lot of meaningless adjectives and boasts), Barry could even be said to have performed exceptionally well.

The three UN leaders were very satisfied, and the other UN members who heard the mission report were also very satisfied.

If Exupéry could capture such a detailed expression, then the group must have been absolutely furious (just kidding).

Therefore, everyone highly praised Barry's operation.

"Just hearing this description makes me imagine how much they would feel when they discovered the truth; I even feel a bit of phantom pain myself." — From a gentleman who wished to remain anonymous and was wearing a knight's helmet.

However, there were also a few slightly discordant voices.

"Although the mission was successfully completed and it's worth celebrating, that smug, childish attitude is really annoying." - From a young girl who wishes to remain anonymous.

Barry's response was:

"Hahaha, you pervert, just admit you're not as good as others."

So the two of them got into a fight this time and almost tore down another corridor.

Well, although there are occasional minor disagreements due to communication issues, the overall atmosphere at the UN is very positive and uplifting.

Unlike both sides, the current Joint Major Crimes Unit and the Special Ability Special Agents Section are quite different.

ASA, the Academy, and the Gatekeeper each sent a representative to accompany a specially assigned staff member from the Special Abilities Division to gather information about the UN's overt target—the "Book."

After all, for a long time, the "Book" has been contained and managed by the Special Abilities Department, and if we really have to say, the Special Abilities Department should be the one that knows the "Book" best right now.

Now, Zhou Shuren and Zhu Ziqing from the Academy, Balzac from ASA, Sherlock Holmes, Hemingway and Asimov from the Gatekeeper, are with the head of the Special Abilities Department and a trembling clerk surrounded by big shots.

The group moved forward in silence. Apart from Zhu Ziqing, who couldn't help but look around, even the most curious Sherlock Holmes seemed somewhat uninterested.

However, this was unavoidable; the Special Abilities Division only used some "effective but old-fashioned and boring" methods. For well-informed people like Zhou Shuren, Sherlock Holmes, and Hemingway, these methods were simply meaningless.

After a long and tedious security process that was enough to make anyone sleepy, the members of the Joint Major Crimes Unit finally arrived at the special items storage room and saw a page of the "book".

It's not that the Special Abilities Division is unwilling to take out the book; it's mainly that they themselves can't access the "book."

The "book" is currently stored in an alternate dimension. What's even more critical is that the Special Abilities Division doesn't know how to open this dimension.

This is as foolish as locking your valuables in an extremely sturdy and absolutely secure safe, and then forgetting both the key and the combination.

Fortunately, the Special Abilities Department is not yet that unreliable.

"Initially, or rather, when we managed the 'books' using our own management methods, we did indeed use normal methods for storage and monitoring..."

The staff member sent by the Special Abilities Department wiped away a cold sweat and continued to explain the situation cautiously under the watchful eyes of various bigwigs.

"The Special Abilities Division was once attacked by another illegal special abilities organization called the 'Fairy Tale Gang.' However, because the attack was small-scale and the attackers' objectives were clear, it didn't cause much damage, so it wasn't made public..."

Hemingway grunted, "I've heard of that over there, but I'm not too sure about it."

Asimov bluntly exposed his mistake: "Captain, I must remind you that all the reports about this incident have been on your desk."

Hemingway: "..." Hemingway: "I just didn't see it, is that a problem?"

Holmes wasn't interested in American-style stand-up comedy; he continued to ask many questions with great interest: "If the attack was carried out by the Fairy Tale Gang, is the 'book' locked in the 'Little Mermaid's' space?"

The clerk from the Special Abilities Department gave a helpless, wry smile: "That's how it is."

The "Fairy Tale Gang," a mobile organization with supernatural abilities, is a special organization dedicated to "helping all the unfortunate" and combating social injustice. However, due to their unconventional and whimsical methods, they have caused numerous negative consequences and are currently wanted by the authorities.

The leader of the Fairy Tale Gang was Hans Christian Andersen, a Danish national, and there were even rumors that he had Danish royal blood.

It's worth mentioning that Lewis, before joining the ASA, was invited by Fairy Tale Club. However, he declined because he needed to earn money to support his daughter.

While the specific conditions and limitations of Hans Christian Andersen's supernatural ability "The Little Mermaid" are still unclear to the outside world, its effects suggest that it allows him to travel between two dimensions.

—Or to be more precise, Andersen created a small, special space that mapped to the real world and then traveled between the two spaces. The specific production requirements and mapping relationship are completely unknown.

"Actually, the clock tower attendants and the ASA seem to have relevant information, but I have never seen it." Holmes stood in front of the place that was supposedly the last place where the "book" appeared, and began to sigh in an exaggerated expression and tone. "If you could show me just a little bit more information in your database, I guarantee I could solve at least 30% of the unsolved cases in your storeroom."

Balzac didn't even want to pay attention to Holmes and directly retorted: "Then explain how you know that 30% of the unsolved cases are related to our database."

Holmes: "...Oh, by the way, could I see the previous management records for the 'book'?"

At that moment, Balzac used almost all his self-control to ensure that he didn't explode with anger on the spot.
