The provincial capital’s cultural relics bureau receives a bizarre bronze pair of fish from the Warring States period. The strange symbols covering its belly are uncannily similar to those found in the unsolved “Twin Fish Jade Pendant” case from ten years ago. Back then, an elite archaeological team suffered a complete mental breakdown in the depths of Wushan. Their leader vanished without a trace. In the last footage they left behind, every member was frantically worshipping the air and repeatedly murmuring, “When the twin fish appear, life and death will be thrown into chaos.”
Now, the young archaeological expert Chen Yue is called upon in a time of crisis to lead a team back along the cursed route. Among them are the orphaned child of a survivor from the original expedition, an eccentric folk tomb raider, and a mysterious woman who claims to study ancient texts but knows the team’s movements inside out.
Strange stone statues, hanging coffins that move on their own, and a canyon where time falls out of joint... One unknown horror after another closes in. When Chen Yue finally finds the crucial clue pointing to the “Twin Fish Tomb,” he suddenly realizes that the moment they entered this forbidden zone, they had all become pieces on someone else’s board. And the true identity of the player behind the scenes is tied by blood to every one of them...
