Universe Infinite Canteen

At first glance, the cheat this time seems powerful, but upon closer reflection, it actually has significant limitations.

Originally, when Ma Lu went to other planes, what he used were projections, and the death of a projection would only result in him bursting out ingredients and returning home empty-handed.

However, now the unlimited resurrection provides him with a much larger margin for error, but his strength itself has not been noticeably enhanced like in previous times, and it might even lead to worse outcomes.

The worst-case scenario would be that he gets stuck in a loop facing an inescapable death, unable to break free.

But for now, Ma Lu has just activated the rollback feature, and his understanding of it is still not enough. He also doesn't know if there is a limit to the number of resurrections, or whether the rollback will always go back to the very initial starting point—all these need to be explored slowly afterward.

In short, being able to resurrect doesn't mean one can recklessly squander that opportunity.

After resurrecting this time, Ma Lu not only continued to research how to get out of the room, but also wanted to figure out how he died before. What exactly could pierce through such a thick metal door?

Regarding the first question, Ma Lu had already examined everything inside the room. To get out, he had no choice but to hope for someone outside to lend a hand.

Ma Lu once again pressed his ear against the door. But this time, he did not rush to knock and make any noise, and it was also very quiet outside the door.

It wasn't until 5 minutes later that he suddenly heard a sudden rattle of noise; Ma Lu initially thought that the thing that killed him had appeared again.

But upon listening carefully, the sounds were a bit different. The noise this time was more rapid, and after a burst of sound, there was a pause, then the rattling noise resumed.

At the same time, there were also sounds of messy footsteps and muffled cursing.

Ma Lu didn't act rashly. He continued to lie behind the door, until the footsteps gradually faded away, and quiet returned outside the door.

However, the silence didn't last long this time. Soon, a scream could be heard from afar, and Ma Lu subconsciously looked down at the Traveler's Bracelet on his hand.

The time had just passed 5 minutes and 22 seconds, and there was roughly one and a half minutes before he was last murdered.

Ma Lu speculated that a battle had taken place outside the door, and the victor of this battle might not have gone far and could very well be the murderer who killed him last time.

This time, Ma Lu chose to lie low first, to continue keeping quiet. And just like that, staying in the room, he managed to safely get past the previous point of death.

However, his predicament was not resolved; unable to find anyone outside to help, and with his own strength not enough to open the door and escape.

He wouldn't want to go back home after a fruitless 17-hour detention on such a rare visit here.

He could accept having no gains on his first visit, but at least he needed to have a basic understanding of the new plane to plan his next moves.

Ma Lu waited in the room for another 10 minutes, making it 16 minutes since his arrival. Just as he was getting a bit impatient, sounds finally came from outside the door once again.

And it was also music, melodious, full of swing rhythm, very much like jazz, getting closer and closer.

Ma Lu was overjoyed upon hearing this, because it meant that the previous murderer should no longer be present, and the one who is about to pass outside the door may very well also be an intelligent life form.

So, he immediately knocked on the door, calling for help.

"Hey, friend outside, can you hear me? I forgot my password, could you please help me open the door? I'll find a way to repay you after I get out."

However, just as he shouted this sentence, the music outside came to an abrupt halt.

Then silence fell again, a whole half minute passed, and just when Ma Lu wondered if the person outside had already left, finally he started to hear the beeping sound of keystrokes.

After that, the iron door in front of Ma Lu began to rise upwards.

The figure behind the door was revealed.

It was a person in a rabbit costume, with a small cassette player clipped to one side of his waist and a chainsaw hanging on the other, and in his hand, he was holding a harpoon gun.

The costume and chainsaw were both covered in blood; there was even blood at the corner of his mouth.

Ma Lu immediately felt a wave of unease wash over him, and quickly raised his hands, saying, "I don't have any weapons or hostile intentions, I just want to figure out where this is..."

However, before he could finish his sentence, he saw the person in the rabbit costume press the play button on the cassette player, resuming the previously interrupted jazz music with a loud blare.

After that, he pulled the trigger, and a fish spear accurately hit Ma Lu in the chest, the immense inertia sending his body flying and pinning him to the wall behind.

[Ding! You have just died, the time loop function has been automatically activated for you!]

Ma Lu opened his eyes, and once again saw that spherical mass of water floating in the air.

He died again!!!

He hadn't been in this plane for an hour and had already died twice; he hadn't died even once before in the four planes he'd been through.

The silver lining in his misfortune was that both deaths came suddenly and swiftly.

Just now, the fish spear had pierced directly through his heart, causing him almost no pain, and he passed away quite peacefully.

Revived once more, Ma Lu didn't rush to act, but rather sat cross-legged in mid-air, first sorting through the information he had in his hands.

At the very least, this time he had managed to get a clear look at the appearance of the murderer.

No, not the appearance, just the attire; Ma Lu hadn't seen the face hidden under the head cover.

But that wasn't important.

What was important was that the guy was extremely ferocious; they had only met for the first time for less than ten seconds, and even though Ma Lu had raised his hands to show he had no hostile intent, the man still ruthlessly attacked with the harpoon gun.

Without any hesitation—it was clear this wasn't his first time doing this.

The times of Ma Lu's two deaths were very close to each other, and both were due to fatal penetrating injuries, once in the head and once in the chest.

Does this also mean that the attack that occurred at the 7-minute mark, before his first revival, also came from this person in the rabbit costume?

Furthermore, it's highly probable that the person who screamed at 5:22 was also killed by him, which would explain the bloodstains on his costume.

If this deduction is correct, perhaps Ma Lu could try to intercept the first victim earlier, ask him to help open the door, and then the two of them could join forces to deal with the guy in the rabbit costume.

However, as Ma Lu recalled the scene when he encountered the man in the rabbit costume, he began to waver again.

Because of the music.

That dead rabbit, when appearing, was accompanied by jazz music, and it wasn't until he realized someone was in the room that he hit the pause button; and before deciding to kill, he made a point of turning the music back on again.

Prior to this, Ma Lu was certain he had not heard any music.

Of course, theoretically, the guy in the rabbit costume could control the cassette player, turning it on and off at will.

But this still didn't explain the clinking, clanking sounds Ma Lu had heard before his first death.
