Chapter 407 — I'm an Infinite Regressor, But I've Got Stories to Tell

Chapter 407

The narrator (the Undertaker/Regressor) reflects on his travels and the gratitude of the Regression Alliance for his interventions, particularly with Lee Ha-yul. Back in the Busan hideout, Lee Ha-yul expresses her relief at being alive, noting she would have committed suicide had the Regressor not saved her. The narrator acknowledges a responsibility to ensure she remains engaged with life. He explains his method of helping her: teaching her to strengthen herself and entering her subconscious to address psychological scars. The discussion turns to Go Yuri, whose presence triggers an instinctive longing in others, as if they have lost someone precious. The narrator posits that Go Yuri’s magic works by exploiting a collective void in human memory caused by the loss of someone who was once deeply cherished. Ha-yul sharp-wittedly deduces that the narrator’s complete memory erasure regarding Go Yuri implies she was not just important, but essential to his existence. As they reflect on this shared void, Sim Ah-ryeon interrupts, jealous of the attention Ha-yul receives. After a brief, playful exchange where Ah-ryeon is forced to squeeze in between them, the narrator comforts her by combing her hair. He then transitions to discussing the preparations for an art exhibition. The narrator explains his rationale: he believes Ah-ryeon’s erratic behavior and reliance on online anonymity (as the villain 'OldManGoryeo' and the Saintess) stem from a heart sickness inflicted by Go Yuri. He aims to rehabilitate her through art, believing that painting funeral portraits of anomalies will provide her with a sincere outlet and help her find fulfillment in reality. Oh Dok-seo briefly critiques this reasoning, pointing out the hypocrisy of blaming Go Yuri for everything when the narrator previously emphasized personal responsibility. The narrator ignores this, determined to make Ah-ryeon a celebrated artist. The exhibition is held in the Tower of Babel Plaza. Initially sparse, it draws massive crowds as word spreads. High-ranking figures like Dang Seo-rin, Cheon Yo-hwa, and even the pragmatic Noh Do-hwa attend, impressed by the depth and quality of the 'Anomaly Expressionist' style. The public and online communities react with awe, shifting perception of Ah-ryeon from a troll to a genius. The narrator feels vindicated, believing this success will finally heal Ah-ryeon’s heart. However, the chapter ends on an ominous note: amidst the celebration, Sim Ah-ryeon stares blankly and intensely at the narrator, suggesting her reaction to his plan is not the gratitude he expected.
