Fang Zheng used to think that the so-called "protagonist's halo" was just a somewhat exaggerated metaphor. But now, he had no choice but to admit that this thing really exists!
What? You ask why Fang Zheng was so sure?
Come on, he used psionic energy on Tom Cruise thirty times with a success rate of zero. Could that possibly be chalked up to good luck?!
The protagonist's halo was way too obvious!
Damn it, those worthless aliens could kill Tom Cruise in one hit, so why was it so hard for him to just severely injure the guy and draw some blood? If he didn't believe there was something fishy going on, Fang Zheng would never buy it. Now he finally understood how frustrated the Grim Reaper in "Death Has Arrived" must have felt. After working so hard and going to so much trouble to quietly kill someone, only for them to escape, who wouldn't get upset?
No choice but to do it himself.
