Chapter 119 "Witch"
"Ding! The witch 'Gu Ziyun' from the movie 'The Witch' has made a wish that you can help her cure her illness."
The movie "The Witch"? Li Ling pursed her lips.
Li Ling watched this movie before she obtained the system and before time rewound to this stage. She remembers it was a South Korean movie released in 2018.
He could still recall the general plot—
A mysterious organization is secretly conducting inhumane live experiments, implanting the brain genes of death row inmates with extreme violent tendencies into young children.
Through repeated stimulation, they aim to enhance their brain potential, hoping to create killing machines with monstrous intelligence and skills.
The experiment was more successful than expected, with some young children whose brains were fully developed even gaining "superpowers".
However, at this point, the organization's higher-ups became afraid.
Fearing that they would be unable to control the 'monsters' they had created and that they would one day turn on them, they ordered the experiment's director, 'Dr. White,' to kill all the children.
However, they underestimated the power of the experiment. A little girl with extraordinary fighting skills, nicknamed 'the Witch,' managed to injure the assassins and escape in the chaos.
During her escape, the witch suffered many injuries. She managed to escape to a farm, but collapsed from exhaustion and was found by the farmer who took her to the hospital for treatment.
Although her injuries were healed, she lost all her memories. Fortunately, the farm owners were a kind-hearted couple who raised the witch and gave her a new name: Gu Ziyun.
Ten years have passed, and the farm couple still dote on Gu Ziyun as if she were their own daughter. Ziyun is very grateful; she not only excels academically but also frequently helps with household chores. Aside from frequent headaches, she's no different from any other ordinary high school girl.
To earn money for her mother's medical expenses due to Alzheimer's disease, Koo Ja-yoon participates in a talent show at the urging of her friend. If she wins, she will receive a prize of 500 million won.
Determined to win the championship, Koo Ja-yoon revealed her secret weapon 'superpower' on stage—making the microphone float in mid-air.
Of course, she presented it as a magic trick, so no one around her suspected anything. But showing off this skill caused trouble.
First, her headaches worsened after using her superpowers. On one occasion, she even suffered a nosebleed right after stepping off the stage.
The doctor told her that she had a terminal illness and that unless she found her biological parents for a bone marrow transplant, she would die within two or three months, or at least a month.
The problem is, she doesn't know who her biological parents are either.
An even greater threat came when Dr. Baek recognized her on television. That very night, the organization dispatched assassins to break into Gu Ziyun's home and kidnap her adoptive parents and her best friend who was staying there.
Most people would be terrified in this situation, especially with a gun pointed at their head. But our protagonist, the witch, even the amnesiac witch, is not someone an ordinary person can mess with.
Driven by instinct, he seized the gun, fired a burst, and headshot the assassins swiftly and decisively, turning the tables on them in no time.
Before Gu Ziyun could recover from the shock of the killing, another team of assassins arrived. This team was much more difficult to deal with; they were also teenagers with superpowers, and it seemed they could use their powers without any problems.
Gu Ziyun surrendered and returned to the laboratory with the assassin.
Here, she met Dr. Bai and learned the cause of her headaches. The headaches were a side effect of the experiments; they would flare up every time she used her superpowers, and after using them a certain number of times or for a certain period of time, she would explode and die.
However, Dr. White invented a drug that can suppress the symptoms with injections. This drug must be injected monthly, and the symptoms become even more severe if it is stopped. This is also a method used by organizations to control superhumans.
So, after finally escaping the clutches of evil, is Gu Ziyun going to return to square one after living for ten years?
But don't forget that the experiment initially stimulated and enhanced 'force' and 'intelligence'.
Now that force has been demonstrated, what about intelligence?
Congratulations! You've gotten through the somewhat bland setup. The real action is about to begin, because the witch's fangs are gradually being revealed.
People underestimated her. Gu Ziyun had never lost her memory. She knew her body was failing, so she deliberately showed off her superpowers on TV.
So it's not the organization that's looking for the witch, but rather the witch that's hunting down the organization.
Even the couple who adopted her didn't appear there by chance; they had secretly found a home for her escape plan long before she was a child living in the laboratory.
Having obtained the antidote, Goo Ja-yoon was free from the worries of using her superpowers, and now it was time to turn the tables.
Although Dr. Bai's men fought back tenaciously, it was to no avail. Faced with the witch's overwhelming strength, she killed them all by herself.
Moreover, it was a brutal, hand-to-hand combat, a real fight with real weapons.
While killing, she also mocked her opponents: "We're not even in the same league." This perfectly showcased the image of a cunning and scheming little girl.
However, it was not over yet.
Dr. Bai was just a pawn pushed to the forefront of the organization; killing her wouldn't solve the fundamental problem of the aftereffects. Once the inhibitor wore off, she would still die.
Afterwards, the witch embarked on a journey to find her biological parents and obtain their bone marrow to completely heal herself. In the process, she destroyed one branch of the organization after another.
Recalling this movie, Li Ling couldn't help but sigh at how important it is to learn how to play dumb to outsmart others!
Who could have imagined that the pitiful white lotus flower in front of them would suddenly turn into a man-eating flower that preys on people?
In this world, everything depends on acting skills.
In a way, isn't Li Ling also an actor? Traveling through various realms to fulfill the wishes of those who make them, he has to play all sorts of roles in the process.
The other worlds he experienced were, in a way, a performance. In them, a Li Ling within him resided in the deepest layer, reminding himself that he was still Li Ling of modern society, with his parents, brothers, sister, and so on.
