## Volume 1 Chapter 9: Pupa Sleep Sound Pattern
Xia Cicada's fingertips fell into the tungsten string of the bone-conducting piano, and the touch was like touching the frozen cicada's wings. The temperature of the piano stool shows -17℃, and the seventeen-year-old cicada pupa is suspended in the liquid nitrogen tank behind the music stand, and the compound eye structure is reflected by the ice crystals to reflect the pixels of Jiang Zhixi's childhood photo.
"This is his moult recorder." The white fog she released fainted on the bulletproof glass, revealing the experimental log written by Jiang Zhixi: "1999-2016, three feathering failures because the mother carried DDT toxin."
The row lights suddenly turned on, and the red dot of the sniper mirror moved to the back of her neck. Xia Cicada suddenly pressed the lowest range keys, and the subsonic waves broke the ceiling crystal charm. Su Yuwei's headset sparked, and the Remington 700, which was hidden in a high place, fell into the organ tube.
"Don't move." Xia Cicada put the cicada pupa specimen against the string, "Do you know why you chose the National Theater?" She pulled open the velvet curtain, revealing the giant resonance box embedded in the wall. "Your father's smuggling of insecticides left the groundwater here..."
The gunfire interrupted her. Su Yuwei stepped on the Puccini opera score box and approached, and the mink collar was splashed with blood from the voice-changing period: "He promised to give me eternal life and rewrite telomeris with your frozen DNA." She kicked over the liquid nitrogen tank, and the cicada pupa cracked its eyes in the rapid thawing. "Unfortunately, this body has expired."
Xia Cicada opened the piano stool, and the frozen gun prepared by Jiang Zhixi sprayed helium. Su Yuwei's prosthetic joints became brittle in an instant. She fell into the music pool in the aria of "Mrs. Butterfly", and her mechanical pupils were finally frozen in the experimental video of 1999 - Jiang Zhixi was implanting the test tube embryo into a cicada pupa.
"This is the real souvenir." Xia Cicada inserted the decryption chip into the embryonic culture tank, and the holographic projection unfolded the pathological report of Jiang Zhixi: the auditory nerve deformity caused by exposure to insecticides in the embryonic stage in 1999 was completely synchronized with the extinction tide of cicada in the 17th year.
When the alarm sound tore the night sky, she jumped out of the window holding the bone-conducting piano core chip. The escape boat preset by Jiang Zhixi is floating on the Sumida River. There are two glucose injections and a wedding ring woven with strings in the cabin.
