Chapter 264 — I'm an Infinite Regressor, But I've Got Stories to Tell

Chapter 264

The narrator reflects on the progress made in re-establishing global communication with survivors beyond the Himalayas and Ural Mountains, a monumental task involving charting signal fire routes and building trust across numerous bases. Amidst this logistical effort, Lee Ha-yul presents a sketchbook wishlist of European cities, proposing a 'Puppeteer traveling the world' spinoff story. She argues that such a journey evokes timeless emotions and serves as a necessary break from the apocalypse, though her insistence on using Morse code and sketches to communicate stems from a desire to preserve the 'miracle of dialogue' against modern digital addiction. The narrator agrees to the trip, noting Ha-yul's constant presence compared to the busy guild leaders Dang Seo-rin and Cheon Yo-hwa. Ha-yul requests to be carried, leading to a playful exchange where the narrator uses his Aura to swing her around like a child before settling on a more practical solution: a custom-built, luxury 'jige' (palanquin) equipped with air conditioning, a plush sofa-bed, and a canopy. Ha-yul rates the vehicle five stars, and rumors of a suspicious 'father-daughter' pair traveling with a room-sized jige spread across the Eurasian continent. Sim Ah-ryeon, observing from the SG Net, expresses envy and attempts to join, claiming her literary views outnumber Ha-yul's. The narrator refuses, clarifying the vehicle is not for transport but a personal concession, though he allows Ah-ryeon to climb aboard, marking a shift in her demeanor. As they travel, Ha-yul complains that Ah-ryeon is gloomy and clout-chasing, while Ah-ryeon defensively cites her superior view counts on the free-for-all board. The narrative then shifts to their approach to a railroad, which immediately raises alarms as railroads often host the 'Trolley Dilemma' anomaly—a grotesque scenario where individuals must choose who lives or dies. However, upon arrival, the group halts in shock. Unlike standard anomalies where monsters enforce the dilemma, this instance involves hundreds of ordinary humans actively tying up their own comrades to the tracks, blurring the line between human and Anomaly.
