Night 12: The Mystery of the Egyptian Temple

Cheng Qisi receives a strange letter from his ex-girlfriend, Qu Wan. She is in Egypt working on an archaeological dig with Professor Li, and lately she seems troubled. She desperately wants Cheng Qisi to come and see her.

Six years ago, another of Professor Li’s students, Rong Shu, was found dismembered and burned like Osiris in the myths. His head has never been found. His fiancée, Nata, also vanished from Abydos in Egypt like a wisp of smoke, and has never been seen since.

A vast necropolis with five thousand years of history and thousands of people buried as sacrificial offerings have cast a long shadow over Abydos. The footprints of Anubis, the jackal-headed god of death; a female mummy that suddenly appears inside a sarcophagus; Professor Li’s mysterious death on the “Night of Sacrifice”; the blood-written words “rushes” left on the sarcophagus... Everyone is enveloped in the dark, eerie atmosphere of ancient Egypt, lost in its age-old darkness.
