## Volume 1 Chapter 8: Dense Frequency Resonance
The LED screen of the Shinkansen showed 03:17, and Xia Cicada twisted the ventilation window of the toilet with vises. The piano score in the emergency bag was swollen by rain, and the notes circled by Jiang Zhixi with a red pen appeared the Morse code under ultraviolet irradiation: ·-·-·(R)/-··(E)/-··(D)/--(Y).
"Ready..." She chewed the second mint and folded the candy paper on page 41 of the Electrician's Manual. Outside the car window, the reflector suddenly brushed Su Yuwei's face, and the cicada pupa drawn by lipstick on the glass was oozing blood.
When Xia Cicada hit the hatch of the dining car, the old woman in kimono was frying tamayaki. She pulled out the fuse of the induction cooker and converted it into a signal detector, and the cochlea suddenly exploded the recording implanted in advance by Jiang Zhixi: "Seat C of the seventh car, look for a man wearing gray gloves."
A man in a custom-made suit is wiping single lenses, and the pocket watch chain is pressing on the headline of Asahi News: the heir of Jiang's Group was kidnapped. Xia Cicada splashed iced coffee on the electronic lock and pulled out the cowhide envelope in his inner pocket in the steam rising room - inside was Jiang Zhixi's artificial cochlea design drawing, and the edge was annotated with trembling handwriting: give her hearing freedom.
When the alarm sounded, Xia Cicada got into the freight car. The medical equipment smuggled by the Jiang family was arranged in the freezer. She tore off the insulation layer and pasted the design drawing on the liquid nitrogen tank. The ink gradually appeared on the map of Tokyo: the National Theater was wrapped in a red circle, next to it was painted with a seventeen-year-old cicada that was being feathered.
"Did you find the souvenir?" Su Yuwei's voice came from the top of the container, and the blue light of the electric shocker appeared under the mink coat. "What he promised to give you is just an illusion of the cicada pupa period."
Xia Cicada sprayed liquid nitrogen into the electric gate, and the holographic projection of the river stop appeared in the low-temperature fog. He sat in front of the piano in a hospital uniform, with a bloody gauze wrapped around his left ear: "When you hear this recording, I'm beating you with my temporal bones." The vibration of the bone conduction came from the metal wall of the freezer, which perfectly matched the rhythm of the train hitting the rails.
When Su Yuwei fell into the salmon box, Xia Chan had pried off the floor and jumped into the oil tanker. In the morning mist, there was a Chopin nocturne by Jiang Zhixi with a Morse code. She folded the cochlear implant design into a paper plane and flew to the sunrise. The chemical equation on the back of the drawing is actually the molecular structure of the mother's antidepressant.
