Chapter 120 — I'm an Infinite Regressor, But I've Got Stories to Tell

Chapter 120

In Daejeon, Yu Ji-won meets Go Yuri to exchange a letter. The narrator, the Undertaker, interrogates Yu Ji-won about the encounter. She reports the talk was smooth, comparing it to the convenience of taking the subway, which she defines as saving time rather than affection. Realizing Yu Ji-won’s psychopathic nature shields her from Go Yuri’s [Perception Manipulation], the Undertaker launches Operation Paradox, ordering Yu Ji-won to infiltrate Go Yuri’s circle as a spy. For five days, Yu Ji-won endures constant, intrusive social interactions from Daejeon residents enchanted by Go Yuri. She finds their attention annoying but ignores it. On the sixth day, the city goes silent; residents ignore her, and she feels comfortable. Subsequently, the city turns violent and chaotic as Go Yuri’s enchantment fails to control them, leading to accidents that Yu Ji-won avoids with indifference. She refuses benefits from 'lucky' events and dismisses an injured guild leader who seeks her protection, tossing him back into the hallway to be killed by his rivals. That night, a cacophony of beast and child sounds echoes, and Go Yuri’s presence vanishes from all surveillance. Yu Ji-won, wearing earplugs, heard nothing. The next morning, all other Awakeners and citizens disappear. Yu Ji-won returns the letter Go Yuri gave her. It contains the phrase 'Planning is man's work; achieving it is heaven's' and a cryptic reference to the 'butterfly of the typhoon' and the 'butterfly in the dream.' The narrator recognizes the handwriting as distinct from Go Yuri’s usual filtered script, suggesting a genuine, unmanipulated moment. He concludes that the clash between Go Yuri’s enchantment and Yu Ji-won’s resistance resulted in a stalemate.
