Chapter 226 — I'm an Infinite Regressor, But I've Got Stories to Tell

Chapter 226

Yu Ji-won and the MC descend into a hollow Earth cavern, encountering a primitive subterranean civilization. The subterraneans, described as hollow inside and resembling surface humans in their primitive state, initially threaten the pair with wooden spears. Yu Ji-won violently eliminates the subterranean leader and several others, revealing that these creatures are hollow anomalies. Upon examining the corpses, the MC and Yu Ji-won discover that the subterraneans are direct counterparts to surface anomalies. The MC realizes that the Mini Map ability treats the surface MC and the underground 'copy' MC as the same person, explaining the map's previous erratic behavior. Yu Ji-won points out that the subterranean leader bears a striking resemblance to the MC, and other corpses resemble Yu Ji-won, Dang Seo-rin, and Cheon Yo-hwa. She proposes a massacre of all underground anomalies to eliminate the risk of impersonation. During the slaughter, they discover that items representing surface anomalies' traits or personalities are hidden inside the subterraneans' bodies, such as a witch's hat in 'Subterranean Dang Seo-rin' and a sketchbook in 'Subterranean Sim Ah-ryeon.' Yu Ji-won suggests using this anomaly to edit the personalities of surface anomalies, effectively becoming a dictator who manipulates human nature. The MC firmly rejects this, citing the danger of creating Corrupted beings. After returning to the surface and restoring the surface anomalies by destroying the corresponding underground counterparts, the MC finds a note inside 'Subterranean Undertaker' detailing his suspicions about Yu Ji-won. Realizing she hid her conscience, he chases her as she flees into the hole. In an epilogue, restored anomalies like Seo Gyu regain their hair and identity, and Dang Seo-rin returns to her train obsession. However, the MC notices a lingering mystery: since the underground world has a sun, and the surface still has one, two suns now exist, implying the surface sun has been altered or stolen from, leaving the MC to ponder what was taken.
