Chapter 119 — I'm an Infinite Regressor, But I've Got Stories to Tell

Chapter 119

The narrative is presented from the perspective of the Undertaker, a regressor and mastermind of the Library Society, who reflects on the extreme danger posed by Go Yuri. He quotes Nietzsche on fighting monsters and gazes into the abyss, noting that Go Yuri herself gazes back. Described as having pink hair and psychic abilities akin to a Kadabra, Go Yuri possesses a 'brainwashing hypnosis beam' that captivates those who look at her. The Undertaker details his attempts to capture her true form using technology to bypass her influence. He first photographs her with a standard camera, which yields only a pleasing image that he realizes confirms his own hypnosis, forcing him to burn the photo. He then employs Yu Ji-won, an associate whose life he deems expendable, to take the photo, but the result is identical. Voice recordings also fail. Finally, he uses a spirit camera gifted by the Magical Girl Association, an artifact meant to reveal supernatural truths. As the photo develops, the camera emits alarm sounds and catches fire, indicating a catastrophic failure of the device. Suddenly, Go Yuri appears behind him, unfazed by his disguise or distance, and greets him by name, revealing she knew he was there. To escape her attention and avoid further brainwashing, the Undertaker activates 'Protocol 552-71,' which involves acting insane and performing a chaotic Pansori song about the Battle of Red Cliff. This bizarre display confuses Go Yuri, who loses interest, allowing him to flee and vow never to approach within 30 kilometers of her again. Later, in the National Road Management Corps operations room, the Undertaker consults with Chief Noh Do-hwa. Noh expresses concern that the Undertaker himself is dangerous. They discuss the nature of Go Yuri's power, which relies on projecting ideal traits and inducing affection. They theorize that a person with suppressed emotions would be immune. At this moment, Yu Ji-won is observed carving wood, displaying her psychopathic detachment. The Undertaker orders her to monitor Go Yuri, who is operating a soup kitchen in Daejeon. Yu Ji-won demands a reward for her service in the next regression cycle. The Undertaker recognizes her logic: since regressions reset the world, she must secure a permanent legacy by bargaining with the regressor across cycles. Despite his assessment of her insanity, he agrees to her terms due to her utility. He observes from afar as the silver-haired Yu Ji-won approaches Go Yuri, whose apron bears the character for 'Shu Han,' a detail the Undertaker interprets as another layer of psychological warfare. The chapter ends with the terrifying juxtaposition of the entity that creates affection meeting the one that feels none, a contradiction that threatens the stability of the universe.
