Chapter 169 — I'm an Infinite Regressor, But I've Got Stories to Tell

Chapter 169

The chapter opens with the narrator, referred to as the 'Undertaker' or 'Oppa', confronting his partner, Ha-yul, who is aggressively ignoring him. Ha-yul’s silent treatment stems from anger over his three-month absence to the Uyuni Salt Flats, a trip that stretched far longer than planned due to being scammed by an anomaly airline. The narrator apologizes profusely, but Ha-yul remains turned away until he promises to visit Machu Picchu and Tenochtitlan together in the fall. This agreement pacifies her, though she warns him to help prepare for the upcoming 'monsoon,' a catastrophic weather event. The narrative then shifts to a tense emergency meeting at the National Road Management HQ in Busan. Attendees include Noh Do-hwa (Head of National Road Management), Yu Ji-won (Operations Manager), Dang Seo-rin (Guild Leader), Seo Gyu (SG Net Administrator), and Sim Ah-ryeon (Saintess of the East). The narrator presents photographic evidence of a monstrous 1,200-kilometer diameter typhoon composed entirely of water, warning that it poses an existential threat to the Korean Peninsula. While Do-hwa suggests evacuating Busan via the Inunaki Tunnel to Seoul, the narrator rejects this, explaining that the monsoon is a sentient anomaly that will not cease until it has wreaked havoc; thus, Busan must stand and fight to prevent the storm from shifting to other cities. To survive, the narrator devises a ritualistic plan based on the Biblical story of Noah’s Ark. He forces Do-hwa to adopt the name 'Noah,' claiming names hold power against anomalies. The plan requires a magical component, which is provided by Dang Seo-rin. Atop Geumjeongsan, Seo-rin uses her 'Cursed Song' to cause trees to uproot and gather, forming the structure of the ark. The narrator supervises, wearing a 'Safety First' helmet. To complete the ritual's efficacy, the narrator utilizes Ha-yul’s puppeteering abilities to control Mo Gwang-seo, who acts as 'God.' Mo Gwang-seo recites Genesis, commanding 'Noah' (Do-hwa) to build the ark. Despite her initial resistance and foul language, Do-hwa kneels and complies, binding the ritual. The narrator internally notes the absurdity of the situation but remains focused on the looming SSS-level monsoon heading toward Busan as summer begins.
