Chapter 413 — I'm an Infinite Regressor, But I've Got Stories to Tell

Chapter 413

In the midnight exhibition hall, Doc and Go Yuri’s conversation concludes. Go Yuri, displaying a gentle smile, notes that Sim Ah-ryeon is beginning to nightmare and instructs Doc to take her to her lodgings. She reveals that Doc has successfully tuned into her 'voice' and declares this the end of the prologue, promising they will be reunited when the time is right. She urges Doc to enjoy a 'vacation' without regret, hinting that their next meeting will be irreversible. Despite Doc’s desire to follow, Go Yuri vanishes instantly upon leaving the room. Doc, carrying the sleeping Ah-ryeon, searches the corridors and outside but finds no trace. He confirms with Jeong Ye-ji that Go Yuri has disappeared from the Daejeon soup kitchen as well, with no witnesses. Doc realizes Go Yuri, a reincarnator, likely disappeared through temporal means, waiting in a future cycle until he is satisfied with his current life. Reflecting on his role as a regressor who has always waited for others, Doc resolves to wait for Go Yuri as well, acknowledging the shared burden of their unique existences. He entrusts Oh Dok-seo with the care of Lee Ha-yul, Sim Ah-ryeon, Cheon Yo-hwa, and the other children, urging her to be the center for them in his absence. Dok-seo anxiously asks if he is disappearing, and Doc reassures her with a gentle touch, though his internal monologue reveals a deep, corroding rust of steel in his soul as he accepts his role as the one who must now wait. The narrative shifts to the 1,085th cycle. Doc bypasses Busan Station and heads directly to an old inn in Onyang, South Chungcheong Province. He finds Go Yuri in room 202, where a dead mother and son lie, their bodies adorned with crimson spider lilies. Go Yuri is surprised by his speed, noting she expected him to take at least three regressions to find this location. Doc reveals his deduction: Go Yuri is the teleporter Old Man Scho sought. He explains that her ability allows her to erase her own existence from perception and teleport instantly, explaining her disappearances on the sloping road and in the exhibition hall. She confirms this, revealing that she and her twin brother were originally one being. She refused to feed as a newborn, causing their mother to sacrifice herself to feed the other child, leading to the mother's death. From this tragedy, a tree capable of consuming life and abilities—Udumbara—was born. Go Yuri admits she sought a 'reset button' to erase her abilities and end her eternal cycle. Doc’s arrival with Sim Ah-ryeon, who shares Udumbara’s power, provides the key. Go Yuri praises Doc’s brilliance, admitting he solved the puzzle in a single regression. She fully accepts Doc’s conclusion: she is the teleporter, the awakener he has been searching for, and their paths are now inextricably linked.
