Savior Simulator

"Brother Tao! You said that, of course it is possible, but the probability of such an event happening is too low!"

Qi Tian shook his head disapprovingly.

"Brother Tian, ​​during the rising tide of demons, anything unbelievable may happen. Are you and Lele refusing to accept Brother Hansheng's guess because you firmly believe that such a thing cannot happen, or because you are unwilling to face the fact that the devil is here?" The harsh truth around us?"

Ma Yun's sharp rhetorical question left Qitian and Hao Le speechless.

"Han Sheng, you suspect that there is a demon here. What is your reason?"

Gao Fei asked everyone's common question.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Huang Hansheng's face, waiting for him to make a more convincing analysis.

"Brother Fei, the reason why I dare to make such a guess that sounds unreliable at first is very simple, because I have experienced similar scenes in the game and personally dealt with demons that polluted the waters." Huang Hansheng said in a deep voice.

"Everyone knows that my main secondary occupation is 'Glorious Apostle'."

"In "Savior Simulator", this profession corresponds to a level 8 module, and the protagonist was born in a remote fishing village located near a salt marsh."

“Since the generation of the protagonist’s grandfather, this small village called Innsmouth has been subject to a mysterious curse. The local well water and river water have become turbid and smelly, and the flowers, plants and trees growing on the edge of the swamp have also become distorted and deformed. Nine out of ten babies are deformed, and most of them die soon after birth."

"Outsiders don't understand why Innsmouth is like this. They suspect that incest marriages are prevalent in local villagers, so they frequently give birth to deformed babies. Over time, surrounding towns have cut off contact with Innsmouth."

"The residents of Innsmouth do not have a tradition of intermarriage. The reputation of incest is completely unjust. In fact, the reason why the local water source is polluted and the plants and babies are deformed is completely caused by the devil."

"A demon named Todd somehow came to the world from the abyss and is now entrenched in the salt marsh near the fishing village."

"The evil spirit emitted by Demon Todd has polluted the surrounding water sources. If the animals and plants living in this area drink the unsterilized sewage, their bodies will gradually become deformed, and the impact on the fetus will be particularly serious."

"Devil Todd not only polluted the water source, but also summoned many of his kind from the abyss, intimidating these low-level demons to serve as his servants, ruling Innsmouth in a brutal way, and creating a local cult that worshiped himself as an idol. Every full moon night, a boy and a girl no older than 13 years old are publicly killed and a bloody sacrifice is held to the devil. If this is not done, the entire village will suffer the punishment imposed by the devil. "

"When the story begins, this tradition has been going on for 40 years."

"The protagonist of the story happens to be 13 years old and is chosen to be the sacrifice for the next month."

"The protagonist's father couldn't bear to lose his only healthy son, so he quietly let him go and replaced his eldest son with another child who was born with deformities as a sacrifice."

"As a result, when it was time to sacrifice, the protagonist's brother suddenly started crying and took off his hat. The devil's acolyte discovered that he had horns on his head and gills on his ears. Only then did he realize that the sacrifice had been stolen, and he became furious. He killed the protagonist’s father and led people to hunt down the protagonist.”

"The protagonist hid in XZ all the way, escaping from the pursuit of cultists and low-level demons. At the critical moment, he fled into a monastery that worshiped the sun god and took refuge."

"He received good care in the monastery and was temporarily protected from the pursuit of demons. Under the influence of the abbot, he became a 'radiant apostle' who worshiped the sun god and began to practice divine arts."

"In the blink of an eye, five years later, the protagonist, who has grown into a well-known cleric, suddenly received a letter from his younger brother and learned that his youngest sister will be sacrificed next month. Devil, bid farewell to the abbot."

"The abbot couldn't stop his most valued students, so he arranged for two young and devout priests to accompany the protagonist, return to his hometown to save people, and investigate the truth of the curse."

Speaking of this, Huang Hansheng smiled bitterly.

"You may have guessed that this is a well-designed trap... In fact, the protagonist's younger brother has become the chief high priest of Demon Todd, trying to use his brother's blood to prove his infinite worship of the demon master."

"There is no need to elaborate on the development of the subsequent plot. In short, I was deeply impressed by the fishing villages and salt marshes polluted by demons in the game, so it is not difficult for you to understand why when I saw the polluted water near the Palace of Culture, and that The two deformed pine trees immediately gave rise to a strong sense of déjà vu!”

"Hansheng, there is a key detail you haven't told yet." Jiang Feng asked curiously, "What kind of demon is the big boss Todd in the game module?"

"Crazy Fighting Demon."

Huang Hansheng first announced the answer that everyone was most concerned about, and then added details.

"The Demon Todd in the game has a boss template, and the challenge level is level 10."

"The health and attributes of an ordinary berserker are slightly lower than Todd's, but they also have all the abilities they should have, and their strength is not much weaker than Todd's."

Goofy has yet to come into contact with any kind of demon, either in reality or in the game.

After hearing Huang Hansheng's story, I opened the astrolabe out of curiosity, searched for "Crazy Fighting Demon" in the database, and soon found the relevant introduction.

The Berserker depicted in the illustration looks like a giant humanoid toad, no less than three meters tall from head to toe, with bulging muscles and strong arms, showing brute force.

The back of this monster is covered with scales like tank armor plates, as if it is carrying a turtle shell, and below its dark yellow pupils, which are similar to reptiles, is a wide mouth full of sharp teeth.

The Berserker is native to the filthy swamps of the "Abyss", and is a large amphibious Tanari demon.

The illustration specifically notes that waters polluted by Berserkers will become turbid and smelly, and plants growing nearby will also be poisoned by the sewage polluted by the demons, twisting and growing tumors.

Humans may also be deformed if exposed to this corrupt environment for a long time, especially fetuses, which are more likely to mutate.

These descriptions are consistent with the environment around the Cultural Palace, and also confirm Huang Hansheng's speculation.

Gao Fei closed the monster encyclopedia, switched the star disk to reconnaissance mode, and scanned the waters around the Cultural Palace. Sure enough, in the deep water area near the entrance, he found two Berserkers lurking in the mud at the bottom of the water.

The challenge level of these two demons is level 9, with an average health of about 180 points. The six attributes are: Strength 27, Agility 11, Constitution 26, Intelligence 7, Perception 14, Charisma 18.
