Chapter 146 — I'm an Infinite Regressor, But I've Got Stories to Tell

Chapter 146

The chapter opens with a dialogue between mc and Noh Do-hwa regarding 'Abyssalism,' a new apocalyptic survival trend that rejects modern conveniences due to anomalies that invert causality. Do-hwa critiques a house with thirteen steps, a basement, and mirrors, arguing that such features invite anomalies, citing a former executive whose bunker led to his family’s death by bomb. She insists on removing mirrors because reflections can harbor isolated entities. The narration explains that firearms, once effective against early monsters, lost popularity after Ten Legs decimated the South Korean military, but the real reason is the [Chekhov's Gun] anomaly, which possesses every gun, turning them into deadly hazards if used. Later, Cheon Yo-hwa visits the café, distressed by escalating violence among Baekhwa High School students, where a girl nearly died. Worried that Yo-hwa’s stress could trigger a larger anomaly event, the narrator suggests inspecting the school. Upon arriving at Baekhwa High, which has sealed floors and repurposed classrooms, Yo-hwa leads the narrator to a student’s room being water-tortured for her actions. The narrator discovers a hollow space in the window frame containing a hidden K5 pistol. Realizing the danger posed by the [Chekhov's Gun] anomaly, he immediately fires all thirteen rounds out the window to neutralize the threat. The chapter concludes with the relief of having disposed of the possessed weapon, confirming that firearms in this era are inherently dangerous anomalies rather than tools of defense.
