Sen City.
Gu Yuluo was sitting on a stone slab in a small grove, her face like a doll's, with a short tree in front of her. On its branches hung a watch-sized display screen, and next to her phone, another branch suspended a button-sized keyboard projector.
The keyboard was projected onto a book resting on Gu Yuluo's knees, and her fingers continuously tapped on the projected keys.
As time passed, Gu Yuluo's expression grew increasingly solemn.
When a message drifted across the top of the screen, Gu Yuluo stopped tapping on the projected keyboard.
After the message popped up, the screen was occupied by an image, a very familiar cartoon whale.
Gu Yuluo faced the screen woodenly, staring intently as if willing to bore holes through it.
After a long while, Gu Yuluo cursed under her breath, "Fuck! Why is it Jiu again?!"
She had noticed during her attempt to breach the firewall that the defensive techniques used seemed familiar to her.
