Chapter 455 — I'm an Infinite Regressor, But I've Got Stories to Tell

Chapter 455

The chapter opens at Haeundae beach during the daily martial arts training hour. Seo Gyu and the remaining bodybuilders perform strenuous exercises while the Undertaker (Jang Gyu) and Hong Bi-cheong (Sword Marquess) sit apart, engaging in internal cultivation. Hong Bi-cheong praises the Undertaker’s stillness, referencing the 'martial world' worldview he insists upon to maintain order and food security in Busan. The Undertaker endures this politely, primarily to avoid the wrath of Noh Do-hwa and to prevent the Saintess, Jeong Ye-ji, from noticing him. As they train, the Undertaker realizes his [Time Stop] ability is weakening; he can now breathe, blink, and move slightly. He actively resists this, fearing any movement will alert Jeong Ye-ji. Suddenly, her [Time Stop] activates. In the frozen world, Jeong Ye-ji arrives, complaining about an anomaly advisory and her own weight gain. She notices Hong Bi-cheong’s 'Taeguk Fist' and asks to learn it. She proceeds to practice the poses, using a cycle of entering a restroom to advance time and returning to continue training, effectively speeding up the process. The Undertaker watches from a frozen state, noting her poor form and physical deterioration, which relieves him slightly as he had feared her potential as a physical threat. She finishes practicing, collapses into the sand, and leaves by backward-walking to erase her footprints. As she departs, the Undertaker feels a sneeze building up, an 'inner demon' moment during cultivation. Panic sets in; if he sneezes, Jeong Ye-ji will notice. He strains to hold it in as she walks away, but the sound escapes. Jeong Ye-ji instantly stops and turns back. She approaches the frozen Undertaker, staring intensely. She reveals she had been sharing his field of vision via [Clairvoyance] and heard the sneeze. She places a hand under his nose, tests his breath, and blows on his eye, suspecting he was watching her. The Undertaker maintains perfect stillness, chanting sutras internally to suppress his reaction. Embarrassed, Jeong Ye-ji apologizes, claiming she imagined it, and pats his head, expressing trust in him. She muses about needing a hobby to keep her corruption at bay and decides to continue her secret exercise routine. The next day, they meet again. The Undertaker encourages her to keep her hobby, advising that 'the road to hell is paved with good intentions' if she suppresses herself too much. Jeong Ye-ji thanks him, feeling relieved to continue her secret pastime.
