Chapter 237: Talking about Mysterious Monuments (1/2)

As soon as he returned, Kai brought the news about the new mission that they would need to go.

”…That is our mission.” Kai raised his hands after explaining for one hour. He reached out to the water bottle and sipped it to brush his dry throat.

”This is the first time I heard it. I mean, I know about conspiracy theories since it never disappears, but Moai… I can't relate to it. I know that it's hard to move those giant statues, but it is not at the level of this theory. If you want something supernatural, you should go to the Bermuda Triangle or something similar.” Michelle blurted her confusion in one go.

”I know. That's why I am confused as well. But the fact that they contain magic power is still there, and we can't brush it off.” Kai let out a long sigh. ”You can say that I am also pretty curious. After all, it never crosses my mind that a statue from a millennia ago can possess magic power.”

”Still… We need to cross the ocean to reach Easter Island. Will we be alright?” Sofia asked with a worried expression.

”I think it's fine. There are already a few scientists living on the island, so it's possible to go there. As for the ocean… The Protectors are living around the Bermuda Triangle, or at least that is our speculation. The sea in the opposite direction should be safe.”

”Since you are confident in this matter, I won't say anything more.” Sofia nodded with a solemn expression, remembering a certain matter back in EU Base. ”Now that I think about it, I seem to have heard about something similar to this.”

”!!!” Kai turned around and stared at her intensely. Even the others also waited for her to speak about this matter. As much as they felt weird when people mystified things like this, it was by all means something breathtaking when they heard some proof like the magic power inside the stone earlier.

”I will tell you. It's a secret, but I don't think it's considered a state secret.” Sofia paused for a moment, reassembling the information in her mind. ”There are two spots that have been confirmed to possess high amounts of energy: Stonehenge and Carnac.”

Kai furrowed his eyebrows and pondered. ”I know a bit about Stonehenge, but I am completely clueless about Carnac.”

Michelle opened her device and searched for these two places on the internet before projecting it on the table.

”Stonehenge is a prehistoric monument in England. It consists of a ring of standing stones that seems to have many conspiracy theories around. It was constructed from 3000 BC to 2000 BC. Do they actually contain magic power inside them?”

”Yes. I can assure you. I stumbled upon this thing when I was listening to my Father. If I am not wrong, the study didn't result in anything other than the fact that these stones have magic power.” Sofia nodded before sighing.

”Teacher asked me to do it because of my hearing ability. Sofia's sixth sense and Isabelle's eyes are useful too, so…” Kai scratched his head, wondering what he should do. He felt that this would be a pointless mission, but he also wanted to see whether his hearing ability had something to do with this.

”Well, it's the mission from your Teacher. Of course, we will gladly comply.” Michelle smiled. ”We will succeed either way, so I have no complaints about a mission like this.”

”That's right. We can treat it as a vacation.” Tasha agreed with a nod.

As for Kai, he ignored them and searched for the other one called Carnac.

”Hmm?” Kai read it out loud. ”It turns out to be another stone monument. It was built around 4500 BC to as soon as 3300 BC. Some stones are small, and some stones are big as if there is a meaning behind such an arrangement. And the way it's making a line shape instead of a circle like the Stonehenge, I think this is suspicious. The only problem is…”

”Yeah. It contains magic power.” Sofia confirmed as she just opened the EU's information database. Of course, she didn't let anyone see this type of thing. ”Now this is an interesting topic. What is the reason for this? And the fact that there might be something behind it makes me curious.”

”Although I have the same feeling with you, I doubt it will give us any result.” Kai sighed.

”I have a proposal for you, Kai. If we truly discover something on Easter Island, I want to know about the truth. As for whether I can bring the information to the EU Base or not, we can discuss it later.” Sofia smirked as she seemed to be up for an adventure.

Kai shrugged. ”Well, there is a chance for collaboration since there are many mysterious things in EU Base. For the time being, you are one of us, so you can get any information that we get from a mission. As for how you use that information… It's your own choice.”

”Alright. Since that is the case, I will help you to the best of my ability.” Sofia nodded with a smile.
