Chapter 312 — I'm an Infinite Regressor, But I've Got Stories to Tell

Chapter 312

The chapter opens with Jo Yeong-su leaving after a celebratory shot, marking the end of a performed event. Yu Ji-won and Lee Ha-yul exit, while the narrator reflects that the performance is a masterpiece ready for encores. Ha-yul approaches the narrator, who lifts her as they ride amusement rides tailored to her, during which she reveals her mother's family name, Uibong Lee, and notes the narrator's Jo family lineage, joking about their heroic 'Pungyang Jo and Uibong Lee' combo. The narrator acknowledges her growing otaku tendencies and the seamless cooperation of the Regression Alliance. Noh Do-hwa issues directives to target Anomalies mimicking state institutions, referred to as the 'Puppet State,' including the CIA, Yeouido Airport, and the National Tax Service. The narrator interrupts to establish a new security protocol: all Awakeners must use assigned aliases rather than real names to prevent interrogation leaks, citing historical examples like Lenin. A national notice from Do-hwa officially designates these mimicry Anomalies as the Puppet State and offers Korean won rewards via SG Net for their subjugation. Reports confirm successful raids, such as the Baekpa Guild’s attack on the National Tax Service. The narrator explains that partial damage is sufficient to trigger rewards, creating a sustainable 'farming' loop for Awakeners that keeps them engaged without destroying the Puppet State entirely, which is strategically necessary to maintain the resistance's existence. Three years pass, and online posts show Awakeners easily earning billions by damaging these Void buildings. With the Puppet State’s brainwashing neutralized by the alias rule, the narrator feels satisfied. On a Wednesday, the designated day for the Saintess, the narrator walks toward her house, contemplating story placements involving the National Tax Service or Yeouido Airport. At the Inunaki Tunnel exit, pink text on a stone wall reads, 'Hello, Mr. Undertaker?'. Gravel on the ground rearranges into 'If this is not a dream,' then 'Can I borrow a moment of your time?' as the wind scatters the stones. The narrator recognizes this as a breach of ritual safety, as the Saintess’s presence should exclude other beings. Changing to the 88th route, a path honoring water and Mercury, the narrator feels a sticky, warm presence behind him. Dead ants float on the Han River. A voice whispers, 'I am now behind you Dead ants,' and then, 'If you turn around, you will understand.' The narrator calls out 'Go Yuri,' and the wind laughs, confirming the identity. The chapter ends with the voice saying, 'Hello, Mr. Undertaker.'
