The sight of the countless wooden and metal doors covering the walls and ceiling-round, square, long, flat, and every size imaginable-made De'erqiao the Gale Sword and his companions' scalps prickle.
The Doors of Life and Death, as the name suggested, consisted of two kinds of doors: one leading to life, the other to death.
A life door meant survival.
A death door meant death.
They had originally been created to evade pursuit by the Church, and belonged to a branch of the Hidden Door system.

We could be careful and test them one at a time. If anything looks wrong, we pull back immediately. Wouldn't that work?"
Uls scratched his head as he
