Saving Cannon Fodders with the Villain

wever, the difficulty lay in having to kill the evil spirit.

An evil spirit, it was another evil spirit.
Zheng Wei rubbed the whistle on his chest through the fabric and couldn’t help but think of Julian.
Whenever he thought of that person, who looked like an angel but wielded an axe, he couldn’t help but tremble.

It’s already in the past, it’s already in the past.
Zheng Wei comforted himself in his heart, trying to push aside the memory of those beautiful yet cold blue eyes.

“If they don’t go, what will happen?” Zheng Wei asked the system.
“If they don’t go, will the evil spirit still awaken?”

Zheng Wei had watched some horror movies, and evil spirits usually didn’t leave their territory.
If the five people didn’t go, they wouldn’t die.
He didn’t have much confidence in himself, and if possible, he would rather fail the mission than let the five risk their lives.

[The mission will be automatically abandoned by the mission taker, and the mission will be deemed a failure.
After the mission fails, the mission taker will be forcibly sent out of this world, and the world will return to its normal trajectory.
The evil spirit will appear, and the five people will die.]

If they didn’t go, the mission would be deemed a failure, and these people could only follow the predetermined route, which meant they could not avoid their fate of death no matter what.
Faced with such a result, Zheng Wei had to accept the mission, at least there was some hope that way.

“How can I kill the evil spirit?” Zheng Wei learned from the last lesson that the evil spirit cannot be killed by ordinary means, so he must be prepared before facing it.

[The thing that can kill the evil spirit is the thing that created it.
The tasker needs to find the weapon to kill it.]

This sounds easy, but it’s actually not that simple.
Zheng Wei frowned.
The range of weapons was too wide.
Anything in life could be a weapon if someone wanted to kill someone.

“How would I know what can kill it?”

[When the tasker comes into contact with the task-related items, the system will give prompts.]

Does he have to touch everything in that farm to find the weapon? Zheng Wei recalled the information he received from the system yesterday and felt a little headache.

“Hey.” Someone walked up to Zheng Wei and interrupted his thoughts.

Zheng Wei looked up and found it was Allen.
He was holding two bottles of beer and standing in front of Zheng Wei.

“Want one?” Allen handed a bottle of beer to Zheng Wei.

“Um, thank you.” Zheng Wei took the beer and thanked Allen.

“Don’t mention it.” Allen smiled and revealed his white and neat teeth.

The two of them clinked their beers together and started drinking silently.
Zheng Wei observed Allen and felt like he had something to say to him.

Sure enough, after drinking a few sips of beer, Allen hesitated before speaking, “You don’t seem very happy.
Do you not like this trip?” 

“No,” Zheng Wei quickly denied, “I’m looking forward to it.” Of course, that wasn’t the truth.

“I thought so.
I remember you love the countryside and the mountains.” Allen nodded.
In his memory, Zheng Wei was someone who loved nature.

“Yes, I do.” Zheng Wei took a sip of beer and forced a smile.

After that, the two of them didn’t know what else to say, and the atmosphere became a bit awkward.

“Zheng, is something bothering you?” After some thought, Allen put down his beer and asked Zheng Wei, “I’ve noticed that you seem to be lost in thought since earlier.
Are you troubled by something?”

Upon hearing his question, Zheng Wei paused in his drinking.
He knew he had been too cold and distant, which was not what a good friend should do.

“I didn’t mean to pry into your privacy.
I’m just…” Seeing that Zheng Wei didn’t answer, Allen explained, “I’m a bit worried about you.
If you encounter any bad situations, you can always talk to me.
I believe that both Martin and I would be happy to help you.”

Allen looked at Zheng Wei, speaking earnestly with a hint of concern in his coffee-colored eyes.

“Um…” Zheng Wei scratched his head, not knowing how to respond to Allen’s words.
He wasn’t very good at facing others’ goodwill, especially in the current situation.

“Of course, if you don’t want to talk about it, you don’t have to.” Allen smiled at him, “Everyone has things they don’t want to say, and I understand.”

“I just want to tell you that if you need someone to talk to in the future, you can always come to me.” Allen patted Zheng Wei’s shoulder, his smile sincere.

“I’m not just your friend, I’m also your family.
If you really encounter any trouble or have any worries, I would be happy to help you,” said Allen, sincerely.

Allen’s words came from the heart and Zheng Wei could feel it, but he didn’t know how to respond.
He looked at Allen, who was unaware of the danger they were about to face, and lowered his head to take a sip of beer.

“Thank you, I will,” Zheng Wei finally replied.
