Chapter 399 — I'm an Infinite Regressor, But I've Got Stories to Tell

Chapter 399

The narrative opens with Go Yuri conducting a private tutoring session for the twin sisters, Cheon-hwa and Yo-hwa. The protagonist, currently embodying Cheon-hwa via the 'Undertaker' persona while drawing on Go Yuri’s guidance from SG Net, finds the lesson surprisingly normal, dispelling fears of cult-brainwashing. Go Yuri offers wisdom regarding identity, advising Cheon-hwa not to erase her own self despite her father’s philosophy of emptiness, effectively positioning herself as a liberator from the cult’s rigid structures. Cheon-hwa acknowledges this support, and Go Yuri affectionately notes her brilliance, though she playfully warns her to keep her intelligence suppressed until she gains power. As Yo-hwa dozes off, Cheon-hwa tests Go Yuri, referencing rumors that she, as an 'Oechul' (newcomer), infiltrated the cult to seize power by winning the Father’s heart and securing Cheon-hwa’s trust for future dominion. Rather than denying it, Go Yuri playfully agrees, expressing a desire to hold power for even a short time, which alarms Cheon-hwa. The protagonist realizes with dread that Go Yuri already knows the world is ending and understands the preciousness of time, raising suspicions about her motives and connection to the Void. Go Yuri interrupts the tension by announcing the lesson’s end. She and Yo-hwa review passages from the Tao Te Ching, with Go Yuri offering a subversive interpretation: that one person can change the 'Way' or path itself, contrasting her father’s belief in merging with it. Go Yuri departs, but suddenly stops in the hallway. She turns back and demands Cheon-hwa call her by her first name, 'Go Yuri,' rather than 'Teacher.' Realizing this is a trap to verify her identity and catch the protagonist off-guard, Cheon-hwa feigns deafness, claiming she didn't hear the whisper from far away. Go Yuri accepts the excuse, waving goodbye as she leaves. Once alone, Cheon-hwa hugs her sleeping sister Yo-hwa, vowing to protect her from the cult, the Father, and the 'inscrutable Oechul,' regardless of how strange the world becomes. The protagonist reflects on the success of the deception and the immense danger posed by Go Yuri’s supernatural perception, desperate for the 'Sunbae' (Oh Dok-seo) to arrive.
