Chapter 161 — I'm an Infinite Regressor, But I've Got Stories to Tell

Chapter 161

The narrator, Go Yuir, reflects on the Saintess’s voluntary reclusion and misanthropy, noting she only interacts with him and treats others as a different species. In the hideout lobby, the Saintess, currently inhabiting a robot body shaped like a potato, greets various hideout members—Sim Ah-ryeon, Lee Ha-yul, Seo Gyu, and others—who treat her with affection and request social invitations. She accepts their offers graciously, revealing that her potato form has made her immensely popular among the guild members, who compete for her attention. The narrator is bewildered by this shift in perception. Seo Gyu reveals that the Saintess has launched a new Constellation service, 'Understanding of Anguish,' offering psychological counseling to awakeners. Initially, the narrator dismisses the idea as absurd, believing the Saintess’s advice would be overly philosophical and useless. However, he is shocked to learn that the service has become a massive success, with glowing testimonials from anonymous users and high-profile figures like OldManGoryeo praising its effectiveness. The narrator realizes this is an anomaly, yet sees no threat in the current state of the Saintess. The narrator confronts the Saintess in a private room, questioning her sudden altruism given her known hatred of humans. The Saintess explains that by transcending her human form and viewing humans as one would pets or insects, she no longer feels personal hatred but can instead love them objectively and warmly like cute animals. She admits that while she is still an anomaly, she poses no danger. She then makes a bizarre request: to be diced into cubes to reproduce clones. She argues that the demand for her counseling is exploding, and managing sessions for multiple people simultaneously via time-stop is difficult. By creating multiple potato clones housed in robots, she can handle the workload more efficiently. Despite his reservations, the narrator agrees, slicing the Saintess’s potato body. The pieces are planted in a greenhouse, and days later, new robot-potato clones emerge, speaking in unison. Noh Do-hwa assists by building additional robot bodies for the clones. The chapter concludes with Noh Do-hwa confirming the clones are stable, though the narrator notes that they are not anomalies in the dangerous sense, marking a strange new summer for the hideout.
