Chapter 286 — I'm an Infinite Regressor, But I've Got Stories to Tell

Chapter 286

The chapter opens with the narrator, the Undertaker, posing a philosophical inquiry into whether a psychopath can love someone with the same weight as themselves, concluding that such a person is inherently abnormal yet potentially useful. The scene shifts to a conversation with Yu Ji-won, who asserts her complete trust in the Undertaker and reveals that she has investigated the nature of Awakeners. She explains her discovery that the 'Misfortune Workshop,' located in the Inunaki Tunnel, serves as an 'Awakener Factory.' By subjecting ordinary humans to extreme, unadaptable trauma, she mass-produces Awakeners with immense power. Ji-won references a past conversation with the Saintess, Jeong Ye-ji, where they agreed on the necessity of information concealment to prevent the 'Church of Unhappiness' from spreading its dangerous doctrines widely. The Saintess agreed to act as a proxy for the Constellations to maintain order, while the Undertaker handles the shadows. The Undertaker questions the morality of creating 'farm-raised' Awakeners, fearing they would hate humanity rather than Anomalies. Ji-won acknowledges this risk but proposes a solution: role division. She suggests using Cheon Yo-hwa’s brainwashing capabilities to unite the Awakeners against Anomalies, but notes Yo-hwa’s personal loyalty issues. Instead, Ji-won advocates for a 'good cop, bad cop' dynamic. She volunteers to play the 'bad cop,' the embodiment of misery who torments the captives, while urging the Undertaker to be the 'good cop,' the savior who rescues them. She argues that her psychopathic nature makes her the only suitable candidate for this role, as she lacks the empathy that would hinder her, and she does not seek love or affection, only utility. Ji-won expresses her willingness to be discarded after use, stating she was born for this purpose. The chapter concludes with the Undertaker accepting her offer, acknowledging their meeting as 'fate' and Ji-won’s destined role as his ultimate tool and secretary.
