"The second round of competition officially begins!"

"First, here are the rules: Please find the real scarab among these things! Those who find it right will advance, and those who find it wrong will be eliminated!"

After the staff carried out five glass cabinets, the host took the microphone and announced the rules of the competition to everyone.

The rules are very simple, but the object is the famous local scarab.

Scarab, also called dung beetle, commonly known as dung beetle!

No one worships it in other places, but in this place, many people worship it in the past and even now.

In their eyes, the scarab is the incarnation of the sun god.

But why? Is it because the round dung ball is associated with the sun? Doesn't that mean the sun is shit?

Of course not.

The scarab has a characteristic, that is, in the desert without any reference points, the scarab can always find the way home.

And no matter how you change the scarab's way home or put it in different places, it can still find its way home accurately.

This is because there is a star map in the scarab beetle's memory. They know the unknowns of the stars in the sky, and no matter how many years have passed, or how the sun and moon have moved, they will never forget it.

Also, the memory of the star map is passed down from generation to generation, so they will always know how to return home.

Of course, people in the past didn't know this. They thought of the sun based on the fact that the scarab could push the dung ball and always return home correctly.

The same is true for the sun. No matter what time it is or where people are, it rises in the east and sets in the west, and always finds the right path to move forward.

And when you open the dung ball, you can sometimes find larvae nesting and pupating inside.

The white, circle-like figures look like a mummy wrapped in layers of bandages, and are in line with the local customs and culture in every aspect.

So it is natural that he is worshipped.

The black cloth covering the five glass cabinets was lifted at the same time, revealing the contents to everyone.

The scarab in the first cabinet is a green-gold scarab, a bit like a scarab beetle.

The second scarab was golden, but its wings were spread out, and they were very small and thin.

The third scarab also spread its wings, but their wings were not as small as the second one.

The second scarab's wings fit in well with its body, just like the wings of an insect.

The third one is not like that. It is a bird's wing with a feather pattern. Moreover, the wing is very large, larger than the entire body, which looks quite incongruous.

The fourth scarab has its wings closed and golden in color, instead of spread out.

The fifth scarab is the most bizarre. Part of its body is wrapped in bandages, and looking at the blackened claws and head, it always feels like a specimen, or a scarab mummy.

However, all five scarabs have one thing in common, which is that they have ancient Egyptian writing on their bodies.

The first four are at the bottom, while the fifth is above the bandage.

"What do you think? Which one do you think is right?"

After reading it, Xiaoxiang looked at Lin Han uncertainly and asked curiously.

Everyone is participating in the same competition this time, so they can discuss with each other and interfere with each other. After all, the official has not prohibited such behavior.

"I think the first and fifth can be ruled out. The first one is obviously a scarab beetle, and the fifth one is a scarab mummy."

Qin Xiangcao expressed what was in her mind.

But Lin Han shook his head and said:

"The fifth scarab is right."

"Hmm? Is a corpse wrapped in cloth considered a scarab? Is that kind of thing valuable?"

Qin Xiangcao looked at Lin Han with suspicion.

"If it was placed in the ear of a king or a pharaoh, it would be worth a lot of money. And antiquities are not all gems and antiques."

"Put it in the ears of the king and the Pharaoh? What do you mean?" Qin Xiangcao became more and more confused the more she listened.

She understood the latter, but what did the first sentence mean?

“In the past, very few people understood the real Egyptian script, because basically everyone used similar and simpler characters to communicate.

Therefore, in order to avoid being unable to speak the language in the underworld and being unable to answer questions in front of Osiris, the god of the underworld.

The people in the world of the living will make a scarab mummy and put it in the ears of those people, so that they can give them some hints when they answer questions. "

"Isn't that cheating?"

As soon as Lin Han finished his explanation, Xiaoxiang exclaimed in surprise. After all, this kind of thing did not seem very respectful to the gods.

"These have nothing to do with us. I only know that the scarab should be real."

Lin Han didn't care what the mentality of the people who did this was at the time, but he knew about the local culture and mythology, so he could be sure that this thing was true.

Why do we need to know? Because this is a local competition, and many local things will definitely be used. It is impossible for all of them to be transported from other places.

That would be too much work, and since most of it is local stuff, knowing some knowledge can also increase your chances of winning.

Qin Xiangcao thought about it for a while, and finally chose to believe Lin Han for once, then picked up the paper and pen, and said nonchalantly:

"So that's the one you choose, right?"

Since that one is true, then that one should definitely be chosen.

But Lin Han shook his head at this time, "No."

"No?" This made Qin Xiangcao even more confused.

Since that thing is correct, why not choose it? Is Lin Han going to avoid the correct answer and choose the wrong answer?

"First of all, you need to know whether this question is a single-choice question or a multiple-choice question. The host didn't say it clearly. If it is a multiple-choice question and you only choose one answer, then you will definitely be eliminated."

Lin Han looked at the five glass cabinets and said.

He has encountered this kind of superficial choice trap many times.

There may not be only one genuine item! If you are not confident, you will make mistakes in judgment, so this kind of question is also testing a person's confidence in himself.

"Multiple choice? But this way, I feel like a lot of it is true."

Qin Xiangcao pursed her lips, frowned, and began to feel a headache as she looked at those scarabs.

Indeed, if it is a multiple-choice question, it is easy to mistake some fakes for the real ones, and this is a test of whether your own abilities are solid.

"What do you choose?" Xiaoxiang asked curiously.

"Choose this way!" After Lin Han wrote down the answer, he showed it to the two of them.

After reading it, Xiaoxiang and Qin Xiangcao couldn't help but frown, feeling very suspicious and puzzled.

"Are you sure you want to choose this?" Qin Xiangcao didn't quite believe Lin Han's choice.

After all, his choices are, how should I put it... a bit too many.
