Chapter 23: Graves and Legends

In order to expand the production capacity of the Gate Textile Factory, Warwick bought a textile factory that had been abandoned for decades from the government at an extremely low price and renovated and expanded it.

The problem this time was this abandoned textile factory!

The textile factory is located in the northeastern suburbs of Monroe City. It is rarely visited. Not far away is a rolling mountain range. Below the textile factory is a turbulent river. The environment is quite good with mountains and rivers.

Five or six kilometers west of the textile factory, there is a small town that looks quite desolate. Most of the people in the town are elderly people, most of whom were workers in the textile factory at that time.

Under the scorching sun, a brand new Chevrolet drove into the town and stopped in front of the only shabby tavern.

Although Warwick sent a call for help to Peters, he was vague about the specific problem, or he himself was not very clear, so Levi came directly to the town to inquire about the news.

"Hannibal, wait for me in the car." Before Levi got out of the car, he turned his head and told the ogre sitting quietly in the back seat.

The ogre was wearing a black combat suit with alloy pieces installed on the back and the center of the combat suit. He wore a black oversized helmet on his head, not showing anything. He had a large dog-leg knife hanging on his waist. He just sat there quietly, and his huge and burly body still gave people a strong sense of oppression.

Hannibal's body was deformed. After the skin book was upgraded, his body size was greatly increased. His fingers were as thick as carrots and could not fit into the trigger frame of ordinary guns. Therefore, he could only continue to use the knife for the time being.

What attracted people's attention most was that Levi and the ogre both had a police badge on their left chest!

This was not a fake, but a genuine police badge that was tied to their identity!

After taking over Peters's task, Levi did not accept the other party's check, but asked him to solve the problem of Hannibal's illegal household registration.

Perhaps it was a show of goodwill, or perhaps it was to show strength. Buckman personally took Levi and the ogre to the police station. He not only entered Hannibal's identity information into the system, but also arranged a county police position for Levi and the ogre!

In just half an hour, Hannibal transformed himself from a butcher ogre who couldn't even speak to a public official with law enforcement power!

And Levi did not reject Buckman's show of goodwill, because when he went out to perform the mission, whether it was to inquire about information or to disperse the people on the scene, it would be much more convenient to have a police identity!

Regarding this mission, Levi did not invite John and the others, because it might involve monsters like the Night Demon, and the Bison Squad could not provide much help to Levi, but might become a burden.

Levi pushed open the door of the tavern and looked around. At this time, there were several people eating and chatting in the tavern, and an obese old man with a beard was wiping the wine glass behind the bar.

"Hello, officer, what can I do for you?" The boss noticed the police badge on Levi's chest and couldn't help but look at Levi twice.

"A glass of ice water, thank you!" Levi sat on the bar in front of the boss.

"Officer, you should be here to investigate the grave textile factory on the top of the mountain!" The boss handed Levi a glass of ice water, and before Levi asked, he took the initiative to move closer and asked, "Have you found anything? I heard that many people died in it!"

The textile factory on the top of the mountain was bought by the Gate Company a few days ago, and the residents of the town were really happy for a while. After all, this town was built relying on the workers in the textile factory.

If the textile factory can reopen, a large number of labor forces will pour in, which will inject new vitality into this half-dead town!

However, the residents of the town never expected that the Gate Textile Factory sent several batches of cleaners to clean up the abandoned textile factory, but all the people disappeared. Later, there was an inexplicable news that there was a monster in the abandoned factory building!

Therefore, apart from the Gate Textile Factory, the most urgent thing for the residents of the town is to solve the problem in the textile factory on the mountain!

"If you mean the one that Gate Textile Factory bought, then I came for it!" Levi nodded, and then asked curiously, "But why do you call it the Grave Textile Factory?"

"Sorry, officer, the Grave Textile Factory is what we locals call it, because that textile factory is built on a grave!" The boss shrugged, "The entrance to the grave is inside the wall of the textile factory, you can see it when you walk to the gate!"

"Why is this textile factory built on a grave?" Levi frowned slightly, "Could it be that there is something valuable in the grave?"

Levi had seen this method in his previous life. The textile factory may be just a cover to deceive people, and its real purpose is to rob the grave!

"That tomb has existed for one or two hundred years, and it is a civilian tomb. There is nothing in it except a rotten skeleton!"

"The reason why the textile factory was built there was because the land was very cheap at that time, so cheap that it was almost free! And it is close to the water source, which is also convenient for sewage discharge!" The boss seemed to know a lot of inside information, "As long as there is money to be made, who cares about graves!"

"Boss, you know a lot."

"I was the accountant of the textile factory on the mountain!" The boss chuckled, "but the boss died suddenly in a car accident more than 30 years ago, and within two months, there was the economic crisis that swept the world, and the textile factory closed down!"

"Bob, you were wrong just now!" At this moment, an old man sitting at the entrance to eat suddenly approached, "The grave on the mountain is not a civilian grave!"

Levi turned his head and saw that the old man was about 70 or 80 years old, thin and skinny, wearing a light gray suit that looked a bit old, and the whole person looked very old-fashioned.

"Oh! Charles, are you going to preach those stories again?" Boss Bob saw Charles coming up and seemed to dislike him a little, so he turned and walked into the kitchen.

"Old man, do you know any news?" Levi asked aloud. He had seen supernatural powers, so the stories in the rumors were not necessarily groundless.

"Hello, police officer! My name is Charles, and I am a scholar!" Charles introduced himself.

"What scholar! He was just an elementary school teacher in the town!" At this time, Bob in the kitchen spoke up and revealed Charles' past.

"Mr. Police Officer, the grave on the mountain is not an ordinary civilian grave, but the tomb of a messenger of the Weaving Church!" Charles looked normal, not embarrassed at all, and talked to Levi.

"Weaving Church?" There are so many churches in America, and each one is more bizarre than the other, such as the weight loss church, the cowboy church, the train church, etc. It is not surprising that a Weaving Church that Levi has never heard of has emerged.

"Yes, the Weaving Church is a magical and powerful church founded in England hundreds of years ago!" Richard talked freely, "This church enshrines an extremely magical treasure, but it was also because of that treasure that it aroused the covetousness and competition of the English royal family at that time. The church was slaughtered, so a church messenger fled to the land of America with the treasure!"

"Oh? What treasure?" Levi asked curiously.

"It is said to be a loom from five thousand years ago!" Richard leaned closer and answered seriously.
