Chapter 102: Diversion to Thebes
Alwin's actions were the result of many discussions between him and Rorschach.
The whole plan is divided into these steps:
1. Determine if there are deities.
1.1. If there is a god, run and come to this world when you are strong.
2. Test the influence that humans can have on the rules of the world.
3. Establish a system of interference operation standards.
The world of mummies is a world with souls and reincarnation. Immorton was able to return to the world after being eaten by insects, and the heroine Evelyn was the daughter of the former Pharaoh Seti I, Nafidili.
According to the plot in the movie, the gods of this world do not show their true bodies, and their existence is doubtful.
But the world is really following the rules, such as the retention of the soul and reincarnation.
But then again, if there were gods, Egypt would not have broken its heritage in the sixth century.
This peculiar situation is more like another movie "Super Body" that Rorschach has seen before.
Man can use his spirit to interfere with the world and ultimately return to the world. Before returning to the world, the heroine of the super body left a USB flash drive to the earth, which is said to be able to answer all the questions in the world.
The heroine of the superbody world has been assimilated by the world, and she can no longer interfere with the normal world, and the USB flash drive left behind is the only means.
If you map this thinking to the world of mummies, will you find similarities?
In the transmission, Anubis is in the Black Sutra of the Dead, and the Sun God Ra's Sun Golden Sutra. It's not like a USB flash drive left by the super-body heroine.。
The heroine of the super body also needs to use drugs to strengthen her spiritual power, but the Black Scripture of the Undead and the Golden Sutra of the Sun are indeed a means for ordinary people to interfere with the operation of the world.
Whether it is Immorton or Evelyn, or even Evelyn's child more than ten years later, they only need to recite the content of the scriptures to achieve their goals.
Now that Alwyn succeeds in verifying this conjecture, Rorschach can begin to analyze the rules of the Black Sutra of the Dead and the Golden Sutra of the Sun.
At this moment, Alvin was holding the Black Sutra of the Dead in his hand, and Rorschach was holding the Golden Sutra of the Sun in his hand, both of them were waiting for the start of this experiment.
"Let me pass!"
Evelyn's voice came from afar, and she unceremoniously tried to break through Krieger's defenses and get in front of Rorschach.
Adam waited for Rorschach to put away the Sun Warp before motioning for Krieg to let Evelyn go.
Rorschach stretched out her hand and motioned for Evelyn to sit down, asking, "Nefidili, what's wrong?" So impulsive! ”
"I said, I'm not Nefidili, I'm Evelyn! Evelyn Carnahan. ”
Picking up the teacup in front of her and taking a sip, Evelyn felt the taste between her lips and teeth, and took another sip.
It wasn't until she put down the teacup that Evelyn said in hindsight, "I'm here to ask when you can leave for Hamnat!" My brother found out at the docks that two ships had already set off in the name of archaeology four days ago......"
"Are we four days late? It looks like the deal is over......"
Rorschach stood up, patted the non-existent dust on his buttocks, and gestured to leave.
Evelyn also stood up and asked, "What are you going to do?" ”
"Leave? Didn't you say it was four days late? Now that I go, I will definitely not rise anything! What else are you going to do there? ”
"You! You ......"
Evelyn, puffing out, looked at Rorschach like a pufferfish.
After a long time, Evelyn held back a sentence: "You are breaking your word!" ”
Evelyn held out her hand to Rorschach and said, "Pay me the fee for teaching ancient Egyptian script!" I'll leave! ”
"Is this giving up? Nafidili, remember what year it is? ”
"1923! Britain, France, Italy, Greece and other Entente powers have already been defeated. ”
Rorschach shook his finger and said, "No, no, no, I'm asking what year is this year in the Egyptian calendar?" The ancient Egyptian calendar had a cycle every 1460 years, and if you go back to the cycle of a reincarnation, what happened in that year? Extrapolating the two reincarnations further, what happened? What about the three reincarnations? ”
The ancient Egyptian calendar divided the year into three seasons and twelve months, 365 days, with the New Year advancing by one day every four years and the return year of 1460 by one year. It is also the origin of the ancient Egyptian calendar called the 'wandering year'.
Faced with doubts, Evelyn forgot her purpose for a moment, and recalled in her mind what happened thousands of years ago.
'Before a reincarnation, there was a revolution going on in Egypt, and it was a religious war. Before the two reincarnations, it was the era of the pharaohs, and the changes were orderly. Three years ago, the Scorpion Emperor captured Thebes! ’
Evelyn suddenly raised her head and said, "This is the Year of the Scorpion?" ”
In the Egyptian zodiac, there are no scorpions, only oxen, goats, lions, donkeys, crabs, snakes, dogs, cats, crocodiles, flamingos, apes, and eagles, which also follow a cycle of twelve.
But there are also various ways to calculate the calendar, if according to the Scorpion Emperor's capture of Thebes and the beginning of the cycle of twelve, then this year is the year of the scorpion.
Without Rorschach's presence, Evelyn would have started the next Year of the Scorpion.
Rorschach nodded and said, "Yes, this is the Year of the Scorpion. Legend has it that the Scorpion Emperor once received the divine power of Anubis and captured Thebes with an undead warrior with a kobold, and now my men have found the entrance to the ruins beneath Thebes. ”
Evelyn weighed in her mind, and she knew that this was an invitation, whether to join Rorschach's operation, to explore the Scorpion Emperor in Thebes, or to go alone to Hamnat to find the pharaoh's treasure room.
If his brother Jonathan was here, he would definitely persuade himself to go to Hamnat, only treasure will attract him.
But Evelyn is different, she pursues the discoveries brought about by archaeology, and the recognition of her.
'Sorry, Jonathan......'
Evelyn had already made a choice in her heart, but she still wanted to work harder.
Evelyn said, "You know, the legend says that there is a golden sutra of the sun buried under the statue of Anubis in Hamnat, don't you want to see it?" ”
Rorschach said, "I remember you taught me how the Golden Book of the Sun, which is supposed to be the divine book of the sun god Ra, is buried in the statue of Anubis? Their status doesn't wait at all......"
Evelyn also senses that something is wrong, Anubis is in control of death and is responsible for escorting souls to another world. But his identity is not at all comparable to Ra, the highest-ranking sun god among the Nine Pillar Gods.
"But...... But that's what the book says? ”
Evelyn's eyes were full of doubt, she had once been convinced of her knowledge. But a single mistake can destroy her notions.
Then the book is proved wrong. Since it's the wrong content, is there really anything you want to see in Hamnat? ”
Rorschach's voice was full of bewitchment, and he guided Evelyn step by step.
"Why don't you go to Thebes, go to see the real Scorpion Emperor, and explore the real history of it...... Nafidili. ”
