Chapter 287 — I'm an Infinite Regressor, But I've Got Stories to Tell

Chapter 287

The narrator, Mr. Undertaker, opens with a philosophical reflection on the disparate natures of the people around him, specifically contrasting the Saintess and Yu Ji-won. He observes that while both offer him a simple "Good morning," their underlying intentions and emotional weights differ vastly. For the Saintess, the greeting is an intimate connection, a shared moment of humanity amidst their timeless existence. In stark contrast, Yu Ji-won’s greeting is purely functional and military; she reports operational stability and pledges her readiness for orders. Undertaker finds her approach exhausting and decides to impose a physical confrontation to test her worthiness. He demands a full-force fight without the use of Aura, stripping himself of his coat and cane-sword to level the playing field. Undertaker immediately attacks, slamming Ji-won into the ground. Ji-won, showing no surprise, asks if he preferred she used her Aura to block or endure the blow, demonstrating her calculated nature. Undertaker orders her to deactivate her Aura. The fight escalates as Ji-won employs tactical feints and hidden weapons. She throws a hatchet, which Undertaker catches mid-air, shocking her with his non-Aura reflexes. He strikes her shin, breaking her leg. Undeterred, Ji-won uses a secret device resembling an electronic cigarette to fire a spike into Undertaker’s forearm. She reveals the weapon was crafted by Noh Do-hwa and implies it might be poisoned, but Undertaker dismisses the threat, citing his near-complete immunity to poison achieved centuries ago. Ji-won mocks his hearing, referring to him as a "human toilet," and triggers a trap that causes the ceiling to collapse. She retreats through a series of mechanical traps, including arrows, crumbling floors, and gas clouds. Despite her injuries, she utilizes a crutch and a gas mask, revealing she likely broke the prisoners' limbs beforehand to secure the crutches. Her final measure involves releasing a gas mixture of stimulants, narcotics, and aphrodisiacs developed with Uehara Shino, designed to strip rationality and expose raw instincts. She claims the prisoners lost sanity within minutes and gives Undertaker twenty minutes before she returns in cleaner attire, leaving him to endure the chemical effects.
