Chapter 267 — I'm an Infinite Regressor, But I've Got Stories to Tell

Chapter 267

In the 690th regression cycle, the narrator (Go Yuir) takes a self-designated 'vacation' to alleviate stress from previous cycles, specifically the mental burden of fabricated memories implanted by Infinite Void regarding a nonexistent sister. He travels to meet Lee Ha-yul, who is in the midst of torturing her father, Jung Sang-guk, in a basement. Ha-yul, currently a teenage leader of the Second Provisional Government, initially reacts with hostility and confusion to the intruder. The narrator reveals he is a regressor and attempts to gain her trust by reading a time capsule letter Ha-yul wrote to her future self ten years prior. The letter confirms his identity through specific details, including the revelation that her maid-like puppet is her biological mother and her secret bucket list. After two hours of interrogation, Ha-yul grants him trust. The narrator proposes a joint project: building a giant combined robot to fulfill a specific item on Ha-yul’s bucket list ('Wish No. 100'). To achieve this, they recruit Noh Do-hwa, an Awakener specializing in prosthetic creation. The narrator argues that Do-hwa’s cooperation is necessary not only for the robot's construction but also to maintain the narrator’s mental stability, which benefits her future selves across multiple cycles. Do-hwa reluctantly agrees. The trio begins experimentation, combining Do-hwa’s prosthetic limbs with Ha-yul’s puppet manipulation abilities. Ha-yul connects her strings to two-meter-tall prosthetic legs attached to a rudimentary frame. The initial attempts on the first and second days end in spectacular failures as Ha-yul falls, but she persists. By the seventh day, progress is made. Ha-yul successfully stands the massive robotic frame upright, enduring significant vibration in an open cockpit. She declares it a 'giant leap for mankind,' prompting a cynical correction from Do-hwa. The chapter concludes with the successful stabilization of the robot, marking the beginning of their robot-building saga.
