Chapter 884 Interrogation
The difficulty of the will saving throw of "Suggestion" depends on the caster's proficiency modifier and charm modifier.
Gao Fei is a 17th-level Tiangong special policeman, and the +6 proficiency modifier has been capped.
32 points of charm attribute, modified by +11.
After the final calculation, the difficulty of the will saving throw of "Suggestion" (DC27) is ridiculously high!
Simon and Andre did not have the strong will to fight against "Suggestion", and soon confessed everything they knew, including the details of their dealings with the Holy Blood Knights.
Through interrogation, Gao Fei learned that Andre and Simon were following Peter Vanderwal's instructions to revive the headhunting tradition in Pirion Village and Xiulu Village and instigate villagers to fight.
What is the purpose?
The answer is... to obtain fresh human heads.
In Pirion Village and Xiulu Village, very few of the captives captured in previous conflicts were used as sacrifices or eaten, and the rest of the captives were secretly killed, their heads cut off, and sent to the Savan Valley where the Holy Blood Monastery is located on the same day.
In order to keep the heads fresh, Peter Vanderwal specially allocated an armed helicopter and four mercenaries to escort the "postman" Matthias to travel frequently between the two villages. With the help of Matthias's superpowers, the freshly cut heads were packed and boxed and directly sent back to the Holy Blood Monastery.
"What does Peter Vanderwal use the heads for?" Gao Fei asked.
"I don't know... maybe... I guess it may be used as a raw material for refining hero medicine." Simon answered uncertainly.
"If the heads are the raw materials for refining medicine, why don't the Holy Blood Knights kill all the villagers and collect thousands of heads at one time to save trouble?" Gao Fei continued to ask.
"I guess Peter doesn't want to make a big deal," Simon answered hesitantly, "worrying about attracting the attention of the Batavia government... and fresh heads are not easy to preserve."
Gao Fei nodded thoughtfully.
Simon's confession answered a question for him.
Now he knew that the reason why "Postman" Mattia rushed back and forth by helicopter last night was to collect fresh human heads, and fresh human heads are likely to be one of the key raw materials for refining hero medicine.
But at the same time, Gao Fei also had more questions.
These questions could not be answered from Simon and Andre. Only when Peter Vanderwal, the culprit, was arrested, could the truth covered by the fog be revealed.
Just after the interrogation of Simon and Andre, the laboratory's analysis report was also issued.
The challenge levels of the crocodile angel, dog angel and Andre were all level 9, only Simon was level 8.
Gao Fei first checked the data of "Blade" Simon.
After this cannibal took the hero medicine, his agility and constitution attributes were +6 each, natural defense +4, and health value 114. The attributes were: strength 14, agility 22, constitution 21, intelligence 9, perception 14, charm 10.
In addition, Ximen also awakened two "armed" superpowers, "bone blade manipulation" and "blood arrow".
"Bone blade manipulation" can stretch limb joints, transform bones into hard blades, connect them with steel-like muscle fibers, and release them outside the body to attack opponents. The muscle fibers can stretch up to twelve meters.
"Blood arrow" is to spray blood, which is as lethal as a blowgun. The blood also contains toxins that can induce acute myocarditis.
In Gao Fei's opinion, Ximen's "bone blade manipulation" is similar to Gu Siyi's "soft muscle mode".
This is normal, after all, they are all armed mutants.
Ximen's partner, the dog angel, is indeed a dog demon from the lower plane.
During a silver flash outbreak a year ago, this dog demon happened to pass through the plane barrier and came to the Asmat area, where it was worshipped as a ghost by the villagers.
The cunning dog demon took advantage of the villagers' superstition to bully others and had a comfortable life.
Unfortunately, the good times did not last long.
The rumor of the dog-shaped ghost god spread to the Holy Blood Knights, causing Peter Vanderwal to be alert. He asked Apostle John to open the "All-Seeing Eye" to investigate the origin of the so-called ghost god. As a result, he discovered this dog demon that could cast spells.
Shortly thereafter, the dog demon was captured by the Holy Blood Knights and used as a test subject by John.
Fortunately, it was lucky. After taking the hero potion, it evolved and was selected by Peter. It was promoted to a Holy Blood Angel and stationed in the village of Shuru to form a pair with Simon, the "Blade" who also loves to eat people.
The dog demon is naturally good at transformation. It can turn into a goblin or a wolf at will, and has a 10/magic damage reduction armor.
The most outrageous specialty of the dog demon is to devour souls.
For every three creatures higher than itself that it devours, the dog demon can complete a stage of evolution, and the level (life dice), strength, constitution, charm and natural defense are +1 each.
The dog demon constantly devours souls. Under normal circumstances, it must be upgraded to at least 15 life dice before it can evolve into a big dog demon.
This evolutionary path is easy at first and difficult later. The higher the level of the dog demon, the harder it is to find prey of a higher level than itself. Even if it finds one, it may not be able to beat it. Therefore, only a very few lucky dog demons can eventually evolve into big dog demons.
However, there is a shortcut that allows the dog demon to temporarily evolve into a big dog demon without devouring the soul of a strong man!
This shortcut is the hero potion.
After taking the potion, the physical fitness and charm attributes of the dog angel are +4 each, and the ordinary dog demon directly evolves into the big dog demon form. After the effect of the potion wears off, the dog angel will also degenerate into the dog demon form.
The reason why the dog angel was willing to work for Peter Vanderwal for the whole year was to obtain a steady supply of hero medicine and maintain his Great Dog Demon form.
From the dog demon to the Great Dog Demon, in addition to the evolution in size and attributes, the spellcasting ability has also leaped significantly.
Only when the dog demon evolves into a Great Dog Demon can it comprehend high-level magic, such as "Extreme Despair" and "Group Transformation".
The Great Dog Demon is a large alien creature with a health value of 187. It has mastered the specialties of "Survival Expert", "Combat Reflexes", "Iron Will", "Agile Movement", "Combat Casting", "Powerful Attack", "Tit for Tat" and "Multiple Attacks".
Seeing "Iron Will", Gao Fei suddenly realized that it was no wonder that the dog angel resisted the "Mind Blast".
Counting the gains provided by the hero medicine, the attributes of the dog angel in the Great Dog Demon form are: Strength 25, Agility 15, Constitution 22, Intelligence 13, Perception 18, Charisma 24.
In addition, after taking the hero potion, the dog angel also awakened an ability that even other big dog demons do not have - extreme cold breath.
Similar to an adult white dragon, the cold air breathed by the dog angel spreads in a 60-foot cone, causing 10d6 cold damage to creatures in the area.
In a battle not long ago, Gao Fei suffered from this trick.
