Chapter 141 Teacher Su fainted again
Although he didn't know what this "Teacher Su" who he had only met once wanted to say to him, Yu Sheng still asked everyone else to leave the room first.
Now, there were only two people left in the room - Yu Sheng sat in front of the bed, looking at the young employee sent by the Border Area Council with some curiosity.
"What do you want to tell me?"
Teacher Su leaned against the headboard, her complexion a little better than before: "Thank you for bringing Xiaoxiao back... although I still can't understand how you did it."
Yu Sheng laughed: "Oh, it's nothing. After all, I couldn't just ignore the situation at that time."
"Are you investigating the 'fairy tale' thing? I mean... that 'foreign land'." Teacher Su suddenly said.
Yu Sheng was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't know why the other party suddenly brought up this.
The young "teacher" opposite him didn't care about his response. She just paused and continued to speak: "I have been working in this orphanage for five years. Although most of the matters involving the supernatural field in the border area are handled by the Secret Service, there are also people in other departments of the Council who specialize in dealing with those supernatural phenomena. As one of them, I was sent here to serve as a 'teacher' for those children...
"You know? Similar things have been happening in this orphanage. Children will suddenly 'leave', sometimes in their sleep, sometimes in class, and sometimes... the last second they were happily sharing stories from picture books with you, and asking you if they could have ice cream after class, and then suddenly, they stopped talking, as if they were suddenly dragged into another world - sometimes, they still had time to cry, but more often, they didn't even have time to call for help or shed tears...
"For children under ten years old, loss of control always happens suddenly. My training requires me to find those children with abnormalities within ten minutes and send them to the nearest isolation room. In the process, I must comfort and guide other children to prevent the spread of fear. At first, I was in a mess, but fortunately, the 'parents' of those children provided help...
"While teaching them, my eyes swept over the little ones, but I was always thinking about these things - this one was a little silent, is he in danger? That one was frowning, is he feeling uncomfortable? One child came a little late, has something happened? There are twelve children in the classroom today, will there be twelve again tomorrow?
"Most of my colleagues couldn't stick around for long here... They were all idealistic people, and were full of confidence when they first came here. We know that orphans are corrupted by the 'fairy tale' because of a lack of 'protection' and 'ties'. We think that as long as we give them enough love and protect them as much as possible like family, we can make the situation better. But like I said... there are still very few people who can stick around."
Yu Sheng did not interrupt the other person. Even though many of the things that Teacher Su talked to him about seemed a bit "off topic", he still listened quietly.
But at this moment, the young council employee suddenly reacted. She stopped recalling and showed a trace of apology on her face: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to tell you this. It sounds like I'm just complaining about work..."
Yu Sheng waved his hand nonchalantly: "It doesn't matter. This will also help me understand what happened in this orphanage from the side."
Teacher Su nodded slightly, then calmed down a bit, organized his words, and brought the topic back on track: "... What I actually want to say is that if you really want to investigate the 'Fairy Tale' matter next, it would be best to go to the Secret Service first to see if you can borrow their files, especially the files from seventy years ago."
Yu Sheng's expression suddenly changed, and he subconsciously leaned forward: "...Why?"
"I don't know if Little Red Riding Hood has mentioned this to you," Teacher Su said slowly, "A long time ago, the Council and the Secret Service tried to solve the impact of 'fairy tales' by directly taking over all the 'special orphans'."
"She told me this," Yu Sheng nodded immediately, "and she also told me that the plan failed very quickly - because 'fairy tales' have a strong aversion to adults, so something went wrong."
"Yes, it failed, and many people died, including a large number of Secret Service agents and the most senior deep divers, but they also left a lot of information, including the various 'reactions' of adults after coming into contact with 'fairy tales'. These data are in the archives of the Secret Service," Teacher Su said, pausing slightly. "Strictly speaking, this should be the only 'deep observation record' of the 'Fairy Tale Alien Land' in the world under high activity. And most importantly... this batch of information was recorded from the perspective of 'adults' and 'explorers'. For you, this perspective may be more useful than the 'experience' of Little Red Riding Hood and her friends."
When Yu Sheng heard this, his eyes suddenly became serious: "Then this is really useful - files from 70 years ago, right?"
Teacher Su nodded, but his expression was a little tangled: "But the biggest problem is that this file has a confidentiality level. It may be difficult for ordinary spiritual detectives to apply for access rights - and my department and the Secret Service are not in the same system, so it is difficult for me to help. But you successfully brought back a child from the Black Forest, maybe you can use this to attract the attention of the Secret Service..."
"Well, that's not a big deal," Yu Sheng's expression became a little subtle when he heard this. He muttered as he picked up his phone, "I... I do know some people in the Secret Service who are more capable. Wait a minute, I'll ask, I should be able to borrow it."
He was very measured in his words this time, and did not directly say Baili Qing's name in front of someone he had just met. However, the "Teacher Su" in front of him obviously misunderstood something. Seeing Yu Sheng preparing to make a phone call, she quickly added a few words: "I still suggest you go through the formal channels. The Secret Service Bureau's system is very strict, stricter than that of ordinary departments of the Council, especially their director, who has an expressionless face..."
Before she could even finish her words, Yu Sheng had already quickly dialed the number of the last contact, and the other party answered almost immediately: "Hello? Yu Sheng?"
Yu Sheng didn't say anything, but looked up at "Teacher Su" who was leaning on the bed.
The voice of "iron paralysis" was clear and loud, with each word pronounced in a clear and precise manner - and Yu Sheng's phone was playing on loudspeaker.
The next second, Baili Qing's voice came from the speaker again, sounding as calm as usual: "Is there anyone else next to you?"
Yu Sheng continued to remain silent, picked up his mobile phone and showed the screen to Teacher Su opposite him.
Su, a young board employee, an outstanding children's educator, an excellent service provider and volunteer at XX Welfare Home, closed his eyes without any peace.
"I'll call you later to explain. I have an emergency here. I'm hanging up now..." Yu Sheng picked up the phone and typed a bunch of words quickly. He hung up without waiting for Baili Qing to respond. Then he stood up and ran to the door in two or three steps. He shouted to the corridor, "Someone come! Your teacher Su has fainted again!"
Just like that, a little chaotic episode occurred, but fortunately the situation was not serious - the school doctor quickly took over the affairs in the infirmary, and then Teacher Su could lie in bed with peace of mind.
Yu Sheng reunited with Hu Li, Irene and Little Red Riding Hood.
After a little effort, Yu Sheng explained clearly what had just happened, and everyone present looked at each other in surprise.
"The psychological quality of the people sent by the Council is not good enough," Irene leaned on Yu Sheng's shoulder and spoke without any concern for her. "She fainted twice in a short period of time - is she okay?"

Yu Sheng felt something was a bit strange: "Why do so many people seem to be afraid of Baili Qing? The people from the Secret Service Bureau are fine, since he is their immediate superior after all. Do other people across departments have such a strong pressure on them?"
Little Red Riding Hood was stunned for a moment, then turned her head to look at Yu Sheng. "First, the director is indeed famous for her harsh and ruthless methods. Those who have dealt with her are deeply impressed by this. I don't know what your impression of her as being 'easy to talk to' is. Second... the director of the Secret Service is one of the top five directors of the board of directors. Don't you know that?"
This time it was Yu Sheng's turn to be a little dazed: "...I don't know."
Little Red Riding Hood shrugged, turned her head and glanced in the direction of the infirmary, with a look of sympathy on her face: "I hope Teacher Su can be more open-minded. Such a high-ranking leader should not bother with a grassroots employee like her - but you, why did you make the call so quickly, and even turned on the speakerphone."
"My hand slipped," Yu Sheng tried to keep a straight face, "and to be honest, with the volume and distance just now, it would be the same even if I didn't use the speakerphone..."
He paused and quickly changed the subject: "Let's not talk about this for now. Remember what I told you before? If Xiaoxiao's condition is confirmed to be stable, I plan to take you to a place."
Little Red Riding Hood was stunned for a moment, but quickly remembered.
This was the answer Yu Sheng gave her when she questioned how confident he was that he could solve the problem of the Black Forest.
"I have finished my work here," Yu Sheng raised his head and glanced at the sky outside, "It's not too late now - how about it, are you interested in accepting my invitation?"
Little Red Riding Hood looked at Yu Sheng, then looked back.
Rapunzel stood there, next to her was the girl Xiaoxiao who pursed her lips. They didn't seem to know what was going on, and there was some confusion in their looks.
"Then I... will go out for a while." Little Red Riding Hood said to them.
