"The people upstairs? You mean those people?" Li Lu was very surprised by this news.
Although Li Lu was a long-term field Shadow, as a member of the IMF, she had certainly heard of those who oversee such a massive international organization.
They are the highest controllers of the IMF, holding the highest authority, able to directly view the most confidential anomaly documents within the organization. No one knows whether they are male or female, or exactly how many of them there are.
Both within the organization and those opposing it, the only thing anyone knows is the colloquial term shouted by some, "the people upstairs," or simply upstairs for short.
Each of them holds some of the Foundation's most dangerous secrets. Together, they know all the secrets in the IMF's possession.
Most IMF personnel go their entire careers without seeing them. Even people outside the IMF have never heard of them or don't believe they actually exist.
