Chapter 186 — I'm an Infinite Regressor, But I've Got Stories to Tell

Chapter 186

In a conference room, the MC proposes a low birth rate policy: entering a fetus's dream via the 'Baku' to exterminate a mysterious monster causing a 0% birth rate. Fairy No. 264 objects, explaining that fetal dreams are sensory experiences dominated by sound (heartbeat, voice) rather than vision, making it dangerous for an adult stranger to enter. She suggests increasing success rates by using a parent's voice or, preferably, inviting the fetus into the adult's dream instead. The MC adopts this reverse approach, designing his dream to mimic fetal sensory input—darkness, water smells, and white noise—to achieve a 90% success rate. Volunteers are sought, and a 25-week pregnant woman, later identified as Jeong Seo-ah, agrees, demanding the monster be destroyed. Thirty-six fairies lead a ritual with the MC and Jeong Seo-ah; despite a nonsensical lullaby, the MC’s consciousness sinks into a dream level two stories underground. Inside, the MC experiences the fetal world: total darkness interpreted through sound, where water and the umbilical cord feel like part of the body. He witnesses the monster, which resembles the adult Jeong Seo-ah, approaching the fetus. The monster manipulates the fetus by claiming its father died in the Void and that the mother is suffering from dopamine withdrawal, then taints the amniotic fluid with black substance. The MC realizes the horrifying truth: dopamine’s side effects and misfortunes are not eliminated but transferred to the unborn children, sacrificing the next generation to maintain the current population's happiness.
