Prologue
In the hospital, several people gathered together in boredom.
"So...there isn't enough space in the hospital?" Hannibal asked gracefully, shaking the red wine in his hand. The red wine looked very good, but because it was brewed by Hannibal himself, no one wanted to try it yet.
Ziliang was still smoking a cigarette and nodded.
"Yes, the Eternal Coffin Mansion cannot continue to evolve without limit. The facilities brought by you guys have occupied a lot of evolution space. Now, the amount is already full, which means that there is no way to absorb new pieces of sin for the time being."
"What should we do? We just cheated the 'God' last time. When it finds out that it has been cheated, it will definitely be furious. When we meet next time, we won't be so relaxed." Shirley said.
"Yes, so, I'm going to upgrade this hospital." Ziliang replied.
Now, the people around seemed to be interested.
"Oh? Can the Eternal Life Coffin still be upgraded?"
"Of course, this is the Eternal Coffin Mansion. The legendary divine coffin that stores Cain's corpse. If there is only shielding and detection, traveling through several planes, and never damaging these small functions, then you will look down on the craftsmanship of the 'craftsman'." Ziliang shouted.
"Okay, we know that your stubborn friend is very powerful, but what functions does it have after it is upgraded?" Quinn asked again.
"There are many functions. The most important point is that the tolerance for sin fragments has increased, that is, new partners can be added. Not only that, after the hospital is upgraded, your special place will be upgraded, and the functions brought by it will also be enhanced, such as... the nurse's office." Ziliang said, pointing to Harry. Quinn: "You don't think that those gauze and antibiotics are all the props you can use in the future, of course it is impossible. As the hospital level increases, the medicines produced in the nurse's office will also increase one after another, such as hallucinogens and antivirus potions. I even heard that in a certain plane, a doctor also studied a transformation potion that can turn into a monster after drinking it. Maybe we can all get it."
"Well...this is very interesting, that is, my virus laboratory can evolve too?" Shirley asked expectantly.
"Of course, by then, you will probably be able to create a more mature virus. To be honest, I am really annoyed by those crawlers. They crawl around the walls every day and night, won't they sleep?" Ziliang shouted in anger.
Shirley directly ignored Ziliang's complaints and immersed in a rather satisfactory fantasy: "Well, if the laboratory equipment is upgraded a few more times, maybe I can create a [Tyrant] on my own."
"What is a tyrant?"
"Haha." Shirley waved her hand: "I'm just talking about it, it's too early to think about it."
"Okay, there's no other requirement. If my kitchen can give you more ingredients, I'm still interested in this upgrade." Hannibal said, taking a sip of wine.
"Yes, the ingredients will definitely increase. There is a fruit called the Demon Fruit. Have you heard of it?" Ziliang muttered: "When the time comes, if you brush that thing out of your refrigerator, we will get rich. Even if there is no Demon Fruit, you can bake a few plates of fairy beans."
Hannibal frowned: "Uh...I've never heard of what you said."
"That's of course. After all, those are high-end ingredients in many fields, and we won't be able to get it for a while."
......
"So, after all, what conditions does this hospital need to be upgraded?" Shirley asked again.
Ziliang smiled: "The conditions are very simple. As long as the sin fragments collected are enough, you can upgrade. In fact... After the resurrection of the old master Jigsaw, the Eternal Life Coffin Mansion has the conditions for upgrading. However, due to the evolution of the Eternal Life Coffin Mansion, huge energy will be generated. This energy can be so large that it can penetrate the membrane between the planes. In other words, at the moment of upgrading, we will be detected by the consciousness of the universe. Therefore, if we do not have complete certainty, I will not upgrade the Eternal Life Coffin Mansion."
Speaking of this, Hannibal seemed to have found something wrong.
"Well, wait a minute, you said, if you upgrade the hospital, we will be discovered by the 'cosmic will'? But, didn't we happen to be discovered by it last time? Wasn't that a good time for you to evolve?"
"No, no, no." Ziliang interrupted Hannibal: "You don't understand what I mean by 'discovery'... We didn't call it being discovered last time. At most, we just found which plane we were in... The discovery I mentioned was extremely accurate positioning... That is to say, at the moment when the hospital was upgraded, we were completely exposed to the gaze of the consciousness of the universe. At that time, it was not just a simple 'scammer' or 'scheming' that could get away with it...but a real head-on conflict. If our strength is not enough, there is only a dead end."
Everyone was silent, and after a while...
"Okay, I understand what you mean." Shirley said, "Then, the question is, if we can't absorb new partners, how can we improve our strength?"
"The quantity is not enough, of course it can only increase the quality." Ziliang replied with a smile, and then pointed to Hannibal: "For example, our chief psychological counselor, Mr. Hannibal, has gained exponentially after he has [Professor x's gift]. He used to be able to control a few people. Now if he is given some time, he might be able to exert his 'hive consciousness' without any side effects..."
"In other words, now our goal has changed. We no longer focus on finding fragments of sin, but we will first improve the strength of several of us, right?"
Ziliang nodded with satisfaction and said, "Yes, that's it."
As soon as he finished speaking, Harry Quinn pointed out the window depressedly.
"So you want to say that this town has something that can enhance our strength?"
"Yes, at least this is the instructions in the compass. There must be some things in this town that can further improve the strength of Old Joy. That guy is the strongest individual combat among us now, so let's get him up first, and when you get equipment for you in the future, it will be much easier." Ziliang said lightly.
"Okay, okay, we don't care who to improve first." Shirley waved and said, "Oh, by the way, what's the name of this place?"
"Call..." Ziliang hummed for a while, and found that he had not remembered it, so he had to open the compass.
