Thank you professor Justin and Chaban for helpful suggestions!

In the topology file, I choose "POL2" for water and anions, and the simulation 
seems working well now. The results of energy minimization are:


Hyperpolarization protection is often needed in polarizable simulations, so the use of "POL2" in the virtualchemistry.org files makes a big difference. Without this effect, polarization catastrophe is common.

Steepest Descents converged to machine precision in 8755 steps,
but did not reach the requested Fmax < 1.
Potential Energy  = -3.0687320e+04
Maximum force     =  1.7012895e+02 on atom 2499
Norm of force     =  7.2500138e+00

Are the results reasonable for the polarizable models? I am wondering why the 
final force does not match Fmax < 1.


You'll never reach such a tolerance for the whole system using steepest descent in singe precision. That said, the outcome is perfectly reasonable. The value of emtol = 1 in the context of the Drudes/shells is that the maximum allowable force on the Drudes themselves is set to 1 during the run for the purposes of the SCF relaxation.
