Chapter 71 — I'm an Infinite Regressor, But I've Got Stories to Tell

Chapter 71

The chapter opens with the Narrator reflecting on a past interaction with Oh Dok-seo during a previous regression loop (run 562). Oh Dok-seo, exhibiting symptoms of 'Chuunibyou' (a fictional delusion of having special powers or secret identities), expressed a strong fascination with the 'Library Society,' a mysterious organization rumored to combat anomalies. She asked the Narrator how to join, praising the group's cool, secretive image, noting their presence in the SG Net's Encyclopedia of Anomalies. The Narrator, adopting the persona of an older, knowledgeable figure, agreed to explain. He detailed the Library Society's history, claiming it was an ancient, hidden organization with global branches, including one in Cheorwon, Korea. He described their hierarchy, ranging from Knight to Duke, and their mission to eradicate anomalies using specialized 'Librarians.' He mentioned the 'Black Notebook,' a prophecy book containing predictions of the world's end. Oh Dok-seo was captivated by the noble titles and the romantic notion of secret librarians fighting darkness. However, the Narrator abruptly revealed the truth: the Library Society does not exist. He declared himself to be the founder, the Duke of the Black Library, and the master of the Great Library. He explained that he created the myth to amuse himself, a common tactic for an SSS-class Regressor who has manipulated events for thousands of years. The origin of this fabrication, he recounted, traces back to the 46th run. Inspired by his work maintaining radio broadcasts in East Asia (such as 'Nymphcalypse'), he encountered an anomalous radio broadcast from North America in the 1950s era. The radio, a Zenith K731, transmitted messages from 'Zone 7' of a 'Foundation.' The voice, belonging to Martin Russell, a chief director, reported the fall of the zone to a dragon entity, noting that nuclear weapons were ineffective. The narration explains that electronic devices often become 'contaminated' by anomalies, mimicking human speech or launching mental attacks. This particular broadcast was a genuine, desperate plea from a trapped survivor, claiming only six people remained in Bunker 24 on Molokai Island, Hawaii. The Narrator found the authenticity of the voice intriguing, contrasting it with typical anomalous static, and notes the entities were converging on North America rather than spreading globally, leaving the fate of the Foundation and the true nature of the anomaly unresolved within his memory.
