Chapter 290 — I'm an Infinite Regressor, But I've Got Stories to Tell

Chapter 290

The narrator, Yu Ji-won, opens with a disclaimer regarding the dark and disturbing nature of the content, specifically focusing on her crimes and the subsequent atonement for the National Road Management Corps. She details the public reaction to her abductions: while 173 people were targeted, 13 died, yet the public response was largely apathetic because she exclusively targeted individuals with no social connections. Among the 160 survivors, most sought to forget, but Kim Ji-soo chose rage and revenge. The narrative shifts to Yu Ji-won’s official interrogation by the National Road Management Corps, attended by Commander Noh Do-hwa and a deputy investigator using a Lie Detector ability. Yu Ji-won confesses to being an amateur in torture, stating her true specialty was murder and disposal. Her primary objective was to artificially create an Awakener with the ability of 'Phantom Torture'—delivering pain without physical harm. This required two conditions: the subject must endure the full sensory experience of severe torture (e.g., burning, dismemberment) and, crucially, maintain unyielding hatred toward her. She failed with 11 subjects, killing them when their will broke, before succeeding with Kim Ji-soo as the twelfth subject. To conceal her own injuries from self-experimentation, Yu Ji-won regularly visited Uehara Shino for healing potions, masking the damage from the National Road Management Corps. Once Kim Ji-soo Awakened, Yu Ji-won made her an assistant, using Phantom Torture to torment prisoners while leaving no physical marks. When Kim Ji-soo rebelled, attacking Yu Ji-won with her powers, Yu Ji-won remained desensitized and unharmed. She then weaponized Kim Ji-soo’s resistance by threatening to execute prisoners physically if Kim Ji-soo disobeyed. The prisoners, desperate to avoid real pain, begged for Phantom Torture. Faced with the reality that her defiance caused actual suffering to others, Kim Ji-soo broke after the thirteenth death. She surrendered, begging for mercy, and became Yu Ji-won’s compliant assistant, ending the first day of the interrogation in chaos as officers reacted with horror.
