Chapter 91 — I'm an Infinite Regressor, But I've Got Stories to Tell

Chapter 91

Following the extermination of the 'School Ghost Stories' anomalies, the narrator and Cheon Yo-hwa patrol the now-safe first through third floors of Baekhwa Girls' High School, transferring rescued survivors to the safe zones. Survivors express gratitude, noting the absence of ghosts and the strange acceptance of corpses, while enjoying canned food provided by the narrator. The immediate crisis shifts from survival against ghosts to resource management, specifically food. With the narrator’s trunk storing supplies but lacking infinite capacity, the duo turns to the cafeteria. Cheon Yo-hwa initially recoils at the idea due to the 'Human Flesh Restaurant' anomaly, a curse where cafeteria meat is replaced with human flesh, causing addiction and madness. The narrator reveals a workaround: since Korean school meals use separate stainless steel trays, survivors can safely eat only the vegetable side dishes, avoiding the tainted meat. Cheon Yo-hwa is astonished by this pragmatic use of an anomaly, realizing that prejudices against such entities hinder survival. The narrator reflects on how previous survivors were forced into cannibalism over four years, whereas this cycle’s approach preserves sanity. As days pass, the anomaly adapts, increasing the proportion of meat dishes in the menu. Cheon Yo-hwa watches tearfully as students discard nutritious meat sides, knowing the anomaly will eventually leave only rice. Despite the dwindling food supply, the pair has rescued over 150 survivors, reducing the death toll from previous cycles and restoring the school’s physical structure. A funeral is held for the over 500 deceased students, with Cheon Yo-hwa distributing ashes in necklaces to the living as talismans. She gifts the narrator a rice ball, marking a moment of camaraderie. The narrator calculates that their stored food will last only four more days. Declaring the next day as the escape date, they begin a final sweep of the school. Having killed exactly 99 anomalies, they realize the core threat remains hidden underground. The narrator leads Cheon Yo-hwa to a service elevator in the old building. Inside, the buttons are arranged in a 4x4 grid labeled B001 through B016. The narrator explains the layout is symbolic of the number 4, instructing Cheon Yo-hwa to press any button. Upon her pressing B012, the lights flash red with the character for 'Death' (死) and the number 444, bathing the elevator in a visceral, blood-like red light. The doors open to the Fourth Basement Floor, revealing an infinite, repeating hospital corridor with sterile beds and IV lines. Cheon Yo-hwa recognizes the scene from a previous cycle, realizing this is the main base of the 'Apostle of the Infinite Void,' the entity that had nested in the school’s deepest hell.
