Chapter 289 — I'm an Infinite Regressor, But I've Got Stories to Tell

Chapter 289

Chapter 289 opens with the MC and Yu Ji-won receiving medical treatment from Sim Ah-ryeon, who openly teases the severely injured Ji-won while healing her broken joints. Ji-won, feigning vulnerability, confesses a fabricated psychopathic past and attempts to establish a twisted familial bond with Ah-ryeon, who remains stoic and focused on her duty. The following morning, Ji-won apologizes to the MC for the trouble caused by the Misfortune Workshop incident and proposes a standard cover-up involving memory erasure and media manipulation through Cheon Yo-hwa. The MC rejects this approach, announcing that Noh Do-hwa and the MC will handle the fallout. A public notice issued by Noh Do-hwa reveals that Yu Ji-won abducted 173 civilians over two years, resulting in 13 deaths and severe trauma for the survivors. Do-hwa assumes full responsibility, resigns as Corps Leader, and appoints Dang Seo-rin as her successor, while also demoting the Undertaker. The SG Net erupts in shock and debate regarding the validity of the post and the shift in power, though Samcheon Guild members adapt quickly. The MC explains to a stunned Ji-won that Do-hwa’s move was calculated to preserve the truth in the MC’s memory, preventing total erasure. Despite the Saintess’s death and Do-hwa’s resignation, the system holds due to pre-existing contingency plans and overlapping infrastructure with the Samcheon Guild. Ji-won, the MC, Lee Ha-yul, and Oh Dok-seo are assigned to the penal unit. Ha-yul asserts dominance over existing prisoners with her violent capabilities. Noh Do-hwa visits the prison, mocking the MC but expressing gratitude for the forced retirement and hinting at future cycles. The chapter concludes with the group on a battlefield cleanup duty. The MC encourages Ji-won, who acknowledges the exhaustion but accepts the reality of her existence. In a poignant moment under the sunset, the MC holds Ji-won’s hand, asking her to promise to discuss any future killings with him first. Ji-won agrees, placing a kiss on his finger and declaring her intent to follow his example, hoping the MC can compensate for her lack of a heart and humanity.
