Chapter 258: Chapter 208: Three Door Pushers_2

Indeed, the Blood Emperor continued, "However, we are both ordinary door pushers, and we have no reaction to other door pushers. But, this child is rather special; he pushed open his door when he was very young and had no ability to defend himself. I am not clear about the specifics, but what’s known is that the child has suffered unimaginable torment over the years. This has given him some unique abilities, not only can he sense who wields a door but he also exhibits affection only to fellow door pushers, while avoiding others at all costs."

"So, when I saw the child’s friendly attitude towards you, I knew you had opened a ’door’ too."

"I see..."

Mu You nodded, no wonder this foreign boy was so friendly to the Blood Emperor upon their first meeting.

Mu You hesitated for a moment then asked, "Is there something special about this child’s door?"

Zhang Yang had told him before that the child was specifically hired to complete the tower pushing mission, something an ordinary door wouldn’t allow.

Mu You had wondered if the boy’s door was located inside the Imperial Capital, allowing people to reach their destination directly through the door?

But then again, if that was the case, it’s unlikely the Wizard Association would not have discovered it after all these years.

"Of course, it’s special. As you know, our ordinary doors are opened in fixed locations in the Star Spirit World, unable to move," the Blood Emperor explained.

"There are doors that can move?" Mu You was startled.

"There are no movable doors, but there are movable spaces."

The Blood Emperor put down his chopsticks and said, "In the Star Spirit World, there is a stone called Floating Stone, which has magical properties. Like a cloud, it can float endlessly in the sky ten thousand meters high..."

"Are you saying the child’s door is opened on a Floating Stone?"

"Yes," the Blood Emperor nodded.

Mu You immediately understood, since the Blood Emperor brought up this matter, it means the stone must not move randomly, but can be controlled manually to float in different directions.

In this way, they could, at the specific time, leave the stone hovering above the Imperial Capital. Then open the door and the players could drop straight to their target like paratroopers!

"At that time, we will deploy a hundred high-level players to drop directly to the bottom of the Arcane Tower. They will be the main force to break the tower," the Blood Emperor confirmed.

"One hundred people? Why not arrange for more?" Mu You paused.

If they had this airborne channel, the more people they could have, the better. A large army sneaking in, even if most people are not efficient, can distract the enemy’s attention.

"It’s not that simple."

The Blood Emperor shook his head with a wry smile, "You just inherited the ’door’ recently; you may not be clear about the rules of the door."

"What rules are there?" Mu You hurriedly asked. He doesn’t know much about the ’door’; all he knows now is that if you don’t come out within 24 hours after entering, it will continue to deduct extra lifespan.

"The door has many rules, and we have now discovered three confirmed rules!"

"First, the number of people who can pass through the door each day cannot exceed one hundred. The same person entering and leaving the door multiple times won’t be counted repeatedly. If a hundred-and-first person passes through, the door will close directly. Of course, this rule only applies to humans and wizards. So far, no other restrictions have been discovered for other creatures."

"I see..."

Mu You sighed. There’s a person limit for going through the door; he would have never known this because only he, Little Ya, and Lin Xue entered his door, never nearing the limit.

"You may have heard of the second rule. If you do not return within a day after entering the door, it will devour the extra lifespan you’ve gained - one year, two years, four years, eight years...continuously doubling until it consumes all the lifespan that does not belong to you."

"And, this consumption continues to accumulate. It doesn’t stop if you leave the door halfway and doesn’t stop devouring even if your extra lifespan is exhausted. It will continue to deduct your extra lifespan into negative values, like usury. All the extra life span you gain in the future will also be continuously absorbed by the door until it’s ’paid off’", the Blood Emperor explained.

Mu You nodded after hearing this, he already found out about this from Grandma Lin Xue.

Grandma Lin Xue had spent nearly a hundred years on Earth, and the deductions of extra lifespan she owed were astronomical. In addition to ’consuming’ her extra lifespan, she also owed an immeasurable debt of lifespan to the door.

Therefore, even if Grandma Lin Xue returned to the door and continuously plundered lifespan from the other world to herself while she was still alive, it would all be swallowed by the door. No matter how much lifespan she took, it would never fill this bottomless pit.

"What’s the third one?" Mu You asked again.

"The third rule is even more interesting."

At this point, the Blood Emperor surprisingly smiled and said, "This ’door’ thing is quite fascinating. I always thought it was alive. It has its thoughts and emotions. Also, different doors repel each other. Once you recognize a door, it won’t let you enter other doors."

"Uhh...what do you mean?" Mu You’s face was strangely intrigued.

"The first time you enter a door, it will remember your scent. If you enter another door and come back, it will feel a change in your scent. The first time, it will ignore it. The second time, it overlooks it as well. But, on the third time, it deducts ten years of your lifespan as a penalty every time!"

"..."

Mu You was shocked. What kind of bizarre rules were these? Does the door have memory functionality?

But if it’s just ten years, it doesn’t seem like a big deal. Enter the door once, effortlessly seize ten years of life, and compare it with the previous rule of continuously doubling the penalty, this fixed lifespan amount is a drop in the bucket.

"Feeling that a ten-year lifespan penalty isn’t severe?"

At this moment, the Blood Emperor, as if he guessed what Mu You was thinking, suddenly said, "But what if I tell you this ten years is from your original lifespan?"

"Oh?"

Mu You was taken aback. The original lifespan is the fixed life one is born with. Deducting from this lifespan seemed much more serious because it’s irreplaceable. Everyone only has a few decades, meaning that entering a few different doors can quickly drain it dry.

"If the original lifespan is used up, then..." Mu You asked urgently.

"You’ll die. No matter how much extra lifespan you have, if your original lifespan turns negative, you will die."

The Blood Emperor exhaled and said solemnly, "This is information that a founding member of the Dragon Group exchanged with his life."
