Chapter 397 — I'm an Infinite Regressor, But I've Got Stories to Tell

Chapter 397

The Undertaker (Go Yuir), controlling Cheon Yo-hwa’s dream, attempts to restore her lost memories to improve her mental state. He initially plans to roleplay as Yo-hwa’s loving older sister, Cheon-hwa, using his supreme acting skills to overwrite Yo-hwa’s subconscious with positive sibling memories. The dream begins with a fabricated scenario where the Undertaker, as 'daddy,' interacts with a young Jung Sang-guk before the scene shifts to the sisters fighting over chocolate ice cream. The Undertaker subverts his plan; instead of acting affectionate, he pretends to enjoy eating two ice creams and expresses a desire for more sisters to eat, provoking genuine frustration in the dream-ego Yo-hwa. When housekeepers arrive, both the Undertaker (as Cheon-hwa) and Yo-hwa launch into an impromptu crying act, confusing the staff by claiming to be the other twin. Cheon-hwa’s manipulative nature is highlighted as she escapes punishment while Yo-hwa is forced to stand in the hallway as a child. The dream environment is revealed to be chaotic, filled with 'void poison' that causes time, space, and even NPCs (like the housekeepers with melting faces) to distort. Despite this chaos, the twin sisters remain stable identities. Fairy No. 264 discusses the low favorability score between the sisters and questions the strategy, but the Undertaker insists on restoring the 'true' history rather than fabricating lies. A shadowy figure, identified as the 'Sir Cult Leader' and Jung Sang-guk, appears. His dialogue is fragmented and nonsensical, typical of void beings, as he oscillates between praising Cheon-hwa’s understanding of scriptures and ranting about contaminated sacrifices. The Undertaker uses this to reinforce the narrative that the sisters are destined to be the cult’s living sacrament. As the cult leader departs, the Undertaker notices a third set of footsteps belonging to Go Yuri, who remains unaffected by the void distortion. Yuri acknowledges the Undertaker with a nod before leaving. The Undertaker is left alone in the hallway, muttering to himself in confusion about Yuri’s presence in his constructed past, realizing that his simple psychological treatment has uncovered deeper, potentially dangerous clues about his past self and the cult's origins.
