Chapter 305 — I'm an Infinite Regressor, But I've Got Stories to Tell

Chapter 305

The narrator, identified as Mr. Undertaker, reflects on the collapse of South Korean logistics following the apocalypse, specifically the disappearance of the legendary rapid delivery services. He is interrupted by Seo Gyu, who reports that Jeong Ye-ji has detected anomalies in the usual spam ads appearing on SG Net at 4:44 AM. Specifically, a persistent comment from a user named 'Toad House' remains visible despite efforts to delete it. Seo Gyu hands over a note containing a suspicious URL and warns that the comment’s ordinary nature defies typical Anomaly behavior; usually, such entities lure or deceive, but this one remained static for six months. The Undertaker travels to the Inunaki Tunnel to consult with Jeong Ye-ji. Via telepathy, she explains that Yu Ji-won tested the link but failed to purchase anything, receiving only a 'payment failed' error. Jeong Ye-ji sketches the website, which mimics a shopping mall called 'Toad House: Specialized in Used Goods,' featuring the inverted lyrics of a traditional Korean children's nursery rhyme about trading dirt houses. The Undertaker realizes the nursery rhyme's mechanics are the key. He accesses the site, which lists bizarre items like 'Park Sang-hyun's Left Hand.' Remembering the rhyme's rule—exchanging a new house for an old one by burying a hand in dirt—the Undertaker attempts the ritual. Singing the rhyme is insufficient. He gathers dirt, buries his left hand, and sings the reversed line: 'Toad, Toad. Give me an old house, and I'll give you a new one.' As he completes the chant, his left hand is severed at the wrist, leaving a bloody stump. The payment succeeds. The next morning, a package arrives containing a preserved left hand, confirming the mall trades in human remains via a one-to-one barter of body parts. The Undertaker concludes that Toad House functions as a communal graveyard and relic exchange system.
