### Volume 1 Chapter 10: Embryo Anchor Point
When Xia Cicada pressed the genetic syringe against the carotid artery, the yacht was rushing into the eye of the typhoon. Su Yuwei's brain wave map on the hologram suddenly surged alpha waves, and the squeaking sound of the mechanical fingers into the side of the ship mixed with the melody of "Requiem" came: "Kill me, you will never find his cochlea key."
"The key is here." Xia Cicada lifted the freezer, and Jiang Zhixi's embryo opened its amber pupils in the amniotic fluid. She stuck the probe of the gene sequencer into the embryo's umbilical cord, and the display burst out of Jiang Zhixi's voice: "The password is the longitude and latitude of your posterior neck birthmark."
Su Yuwei's robotic arm suddenly reversed 180 degrees, and the laser cutter aimed at her temple: "He installed a mygdala bomb on me... Let's go!" At the moment when the tsunami overturned the deck, Xia Chan saw the barcode at her collarbone - 1999.12.24, the first human freezing case number of Jiang's Group.
"Hate me alive." Xia Cicada threw the embryo freezer to the life raft and turned around to hold Su Yuwei's metal spine. When the genetic agent was injected into the central nervous interface, experimental images from 17 years ago poured into the retina: Jiang Zhixi's trembling childish voice begged under the shadowless lamp, "Don't be a mother with cicada pupae".
The first second before the bursting of the waterproof cabin, Xia Cicada saw a fantastic scene in the pressure difference. Su Yuwei's mechanical shell peeled off layer by layer, revealing a girl's body full of cicada egg lines; Jiang Zhixi's embryo is generating cochlear implants, and the outer membrane presents the same tree-like fractals as the scalded scars of Xia Cicadas.
"Reverse transcription of RNA has been detected." The freezing cabin suddenly played Jiang Zhixi's dying recording, "Now you have me, and I have cicadas..."
Three months later, Xia Cicada removed the rib cells of the fused embryo in the slum clinic. Under the microscope, the artificial cochlear stem cells are engulfing her mitochondria, forming a perfect double helix cicada wing structure. The TV news broadcasted the news that Su Yuwei's freezer had been rescued, and the camera scanned the "Faust" line engraved on the bulkhead: "Stop, you are so beautiful."
