Chapter 207 — I'm an Infinite Regressor, But I've Got Stories to Tell

Chapter 207

The Regressor Alliance faces a new Outer God-class threat: a virus spreading through dreams, which the narrator identifies as the 'Regressor Virus.' Unlike traditional pandemics, this pathogen exploits the subconscious, bypassing physical quarantine measures. Noh Do-hwa highlights the logistical nightmare: while physical lockdowns work for real-world diseases, this virus spreads merely by an infected individual dreaming near someone sealed away by the narrator's Time Seal. The narrator confirms that the 'Hoek' vending machines can only delay, not stop, the infection, as sleep is unavoidable for most humans. SG Net descends into chaos as infected individuals report symptoms. The narrator interviews patients to catalog the effects. Symptom #1 is intense déjà vu, where patients feel events are repeating from previous regression cycles, despite being first-time occurrences. Symptom #2 is a paralyzing fear of regression; victims believe all actions are futile repetitions, leading to despair. Symptom #3 is a distorted perception of identity and history, such as a victim questioning the narrator's gender, revealing that the virus implants false memories of past lives rather than enabling actual regression. The narrator concludes the disease is more accurately termed the 'Déjà Vu Virus.' Noh Do-hwa reports 136 confirmed suicides in a single day, with victims either succumbing to apathy or violent psychosis. She questions the narrator's strategy, hinting at a willingness to kill rather than surrender the current round. The narrator insists on fighting back, theorizing that the virus's source lies within the Crystal Tombstones sealed by his Time Seal. Because the Seal is immune to round resets, the virus has accumulated since the 4th round, hiding in the one safe zone a regressor cannot alter. With the current cycle being the 267th, the narrator realizes the virus has found a permanent stronghold outside his control. Tutorial Fairy No. 264 interrupts the tense discussion to report a discovery from monitoring the dreams of the infected. The fairies used Baku abilities to force infected individuals into nested dreams (dreams within dreams), distorting the dreamscape to shrink the virus's operational space. The narrator visits the dreamscape of former football player Kim Joo-chul. Instead of a chaotic nightmare, he finds a hyper-realistic, detailed recreation of pre-apocalypse Seoul Station. Fairy 264 identifies this as an 'Inner World.' It is not a personal dream but a shared, expanding reality linked to every infected individual. The revelation concludes with the terrifying realization that every person infected in the real world has been physically abducted into this converging Inner World.
