"The people above? You mean those people?" Li Lu seemed very surprised when faced with this news.
Although Li Lu was a long-term expatriate, as a member of the IMF, she had certainly heard of those who were in charge of the overall command and supervision of such a huge international organization.
Those are the highest controllers of the IMF, with the highest authority. They can directly browse even the most secret and abnormal documents within the organization. No one knows whether they are men or women, or how many people there are.
No matter whether they are within the organization or those who are against the organization, the only thing they know is a common term coined by someone, "the people above" or simply "above".
Each of these people holds some extremely dangerous secret of the Foundation. Collectively, they know all the secrets held by the IMF.
Most IMF staff go their entire careers without ever seeing them. Even outside the IMF, people have never heard of them or don’t think they really exist.
These people have numbers, but no one knows how many people share the same number. Maybe there are dozens of people. But maybe there is only one.
Li Lu even heard that they would exchange numbers regularly, which could be temporary or some kind of system. They frequently used stand-ins and other security measures, and even this news might be false.
"Are you sure? Are the things found from 315 really that important? They can actually have an impact on the above?" Roy also seemed very surprised.
Roger snorted coldly. "Who can say for sure whether the above things are true or false? At least that's what I heard. But whether it's true or not, that crazy woman must have something that the organization cares about. She is definitely different from ordinary abnormalities."
"First of all, she is negotiable, and secondly, the things she has are obviously systematic."
Li Lu seemed to recall something, a hint of hatred flashed in her eyes, and her voice became stern.
"I always feel that such an extremely dangerous person like her should be executed the moment we capture her. Every second she lives now is an injustice to those who died."
Roger shook his head. "That's not true. New anomalies are discovered every year. If we don't understand and analyze them, and find out their origins before we eliminate them, then when will we be able to eliminate them?"
"It is irrational to rashly terminate anomalies. It may even lead to extremely serious consequences. Have you forgotten the price paid for 511? We spent a lot of effort to clean it up later."
Hearing the other party's words, the hatred in Li Lu's eyes quickly subsided. She apologized to Roger in front of her and said, "You are right. I was too emotional."
"There's no need to apologize to me. I'm not your superior. Just rest and recover. We won't be here for much longer. I think professionals will be here soon to handle 315."
After Roger finished speaking, he nodded slightly to the two people in front of him and was about to turn and leave.
At this time, Roy, who was supporting Li Lu, spoke up, "We are all people who live and die together. Since we have met each other, it is God's arrangement. Why don't we go have a meal? I'll treat you."
Roger obviously didn't think so about Roy's suggestion. "It's better for those of us who are shadows not to get too familiar with each other. Deepening our friendship will not benefit either of us."
"My transfer application has been approved. I'm afraid I won't be a shadow anymore."
Roy's words still did not stop the gray-haired old man's footsteps. "That won't work either. I have something else to do this afternoon. We'll talk about it next time we have a chance."
Li Lu and Roy watched the old man walk towards the elevator, took out a black card, and got on directly.
They both knew where that elevator led to, all the anomalies were held in the containment cells beneath the site. Roger was going there.
"I always feel that he is not an ordinary shadow." Li Lu murmured to himself.
"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore. It's not working time now. Are you hungry? Let's go get something to eat?"
"Um."
Roy, who was cutting the fish with a knife and fork, looked up and saw Li Lu putting the krill from the plate into her mouth with chopsticks.
"What are your next plans? I mean, your plans after you give birth to the baby."
"After giving birth to the baby, I will continue to do my original job." Li Lu's answer surprised Roy.
"Why? Why don't you change jobs with me? There are many suitable jobs for us in other places."
As soon as Roy finished speaking, he saw Li Lu looking up at him. He immediately put down the knife and fork in his hand and raised them up in surrender.
"OK, OK, this is your choice. I have no right to interfere. When you are on a mission, you can leave the child's affairs to me."
Li Lu's eyes gradually softened, and she picked up a piece of peeled shrimp with chopsticks and handed it over.
After finishing their meal, the two walked out of the cafeteria and headed towards the hospital. Although they really wanted to digest their food, the hospital had already called to urge them to come back.
Just as the two were about to reach the hospital entrance, they suddenly saw something coming among the aurora in the distance. It was a passenger plane.
It was just a plane, so the two of them walked into the hospital without much concern. But when Roy specially changed a ward with a window for Li Lu, he heard something different outside.
Several off-road vehicles carrying a three-meter-long box drove from the direction of the airport and headed towards the large circular elevator.
Although it is called a box, it is actually more like a coffin. It has a rough human outline, and the circular red inner triangle pattern on it proves that it is some kind of anomaly.
"Another new one?" Roy thought to himself.
———————
Anna lay calmly on the ground stretching her body. Being trapped in one place for a long time without exercise made her body gradually weaken.
She now had to keep her body in top condition to increase her chances of success in escaping in the future.
Anna knew that she was no longer the demigod she once was. Even though this human body was useless, she had no choice but to rely on it.
The screen next to "Didi" lit up on time, and Stuart appeared on it with his signature smile on his face.
"Anna, working out again? Is it convenient for you today? I need you to do me a favor."
Anna turned a deaf ear and continued doing her own thing.
"Two of my colleagues would like to talk to you."
This sentence made Anna turn her head and look over, "You mean, this is a negotiation?"
"No, of course it's not a negotiation, just an ordinary conversation." Stuart waved his hands repeatedly.
