Gluttony city received a lot of people every day, the number could easily reach five thousand per day. That was why the restrictions for entering were almost nonexistent.
However, today was different.
"You little shits, form a line, and be quiet or I will eat you all!" Said a skeleton guard towards the people who wanted to enter the city.
"…" Lucy looked from the sides while Alfonso and Cerberus also looked at the scene.
"This is strange" Said Lucy in a low voice.
"What's it?" Asked Alfonso.
"The guards aren't these attentive, usually, you just enter without anyone stopping you" Said Lucy.
"Then why?" Asked Cerberus.
"I don't know…" Said Lucy.
"Hey! I come from the second circle to deliver things to the lord! How dare you block my way!"
The man at the front shouted.
Alfonso looked at the man and saw that this man had a pair of black wings and, covering those wings, were two heavy bags.
The skeleton guards looked at the wings of the man and he quickly bowed.
"Lord, my lord, please don't be angry, it's not that we are making things hard for you, is just that lord Amon is looking for two souls" Said the skeleton guard.
"Are you telling me that the monarch is looking for two tiny souls when he gets to eat thousands of hundreds each day!? Are you making fun of me!?" Said the winged person.
"No, no, my lord, we wouldn't dare, these two souls aren't just simple souls, one of those souls is the infamous 'undead soul' " Said the skeleton guard.
"Oh? So, it's actually him!" Said the winged person.
When the rest of the people heard the word 'undead soul', a small commotion occurred.
"So, he is really here!"
"Image! If we capture him and present it to the monarch, we could get a huge reward!"
"Let's form groups and try to catch him"
"Count me in!"
"Me too!"
Alfonso heared the voices of the dead that wanted to capture him. He felt a trembling on his back.
"Lucy"
"What is it?"
"Who is this 'undead soul' "Asked Alfonso
"Oh, him? He is a celebrity here in the Underworld, living who have come here? There are not a lot, but there have been so it's not that unusual, but this person in particular, for whatever reason, seem to be impossible to kill, at least for the reapers, I heard that something extremely powerful, something that even the reapers fear is protecting him" Said Lucy.
"Really?" Asked Alfonso.
"But that isn't why he is so famous"
"And why is it?"
"It's because he has two souls on him!" Said Lucy.
"Don't look down on this concept, there has never been anyone like this in the whole history who has two souls in one body! It shouldn't be possible!" Said Lucy with excitement.
"You seem to be very interest in this person" Said Alfonso.
"Oh! I am! I want to meet this person!" Said Lucy.
"Why?" Asked Alfonso.
"Because I want to interview him!" Said Lucy.
"?" Alfonso was confused.
"Oh sorry, it's a habit, you see, I used to be a reporter back when I was alive" Said Lucy.
"A reporter?" Though Alfonso.
"That's all I remember of who I was went I was alive, you see, the more you stay here, the least you remember who you were, for instance, I only remember my name and what I used to do, but more than that… no" Said Lucy.
Alfonso nodded to Lucy and, soon enough, it was their turn to enter the city.
"Halt! You three, identify yourself!" Said the skeleton guard.
"Hello there" Lucy walked to the front and saluted the skeleton guard.
"Lucy, you know these two?" Said the skeleton guard.
"Yeah! They are new here, however, it seems that due to their impression, they can't talk, I brought them to earn some cash you see" Said Lucy with a smile.
"…" The guard looked at Alfonso and Cerberus who had their cloth on.
"Take out your cloth" Said the skeleton guard.
"…" However, Alfonso and Cerberus didn't answer.
"You didn't hear me little shits!?"
*PAM*
The guard punched Alfonso and Cerberus.
Still, they didn't answer, both fell to the ground like dolls.
"…" They didn't make any painful sound or even try to react, they stood there unmoved.
"Ahh!" Said Lucy.
"What are you doing to the merchandise!?" Shouted Lucy.
Lucy took out a pair of golden coins.
"The chief already paid me! I warn you that if they aren't happy, you will take responsibility!" Said Lucy.
"Ugh!" The skeleton guard took a step back after seeing the golden coins.
"Okay, okay, take these two out of here" Said the skeleton guard.
Lucy quickly lifted Alfonso and Cerberus who still looked like dolls and took them in the city.
"Okay, don't drop the act until we get to the inn" Said Lucy.
Alfonso and Cerberus had their head down while walking quickly to behind Lucy.
"Wait" Said Lucy.
She suddenly stood in place.
Alfonso and Cerberus were a little confused but they also stopped in place without moving.
In a moment, they felt a huge soul pressure.
"Don't do anything" Whispered Lucy.
*WHISSH*
*WHISSH*
The sound of metal hitting the ground could be here.
"Who do we have here?" A spectral voice resounded near Lucy while she trembled a little.
"Great sir, I am just a humble servant who wants to earn a little money, these guys here are just two retards who I happened to meet along the way" Said Lucy in a humble tone.
"Hmm…" Said the spectral figure while looking at Alfonso and Cerberus.
It looked at them for about ten seconds before turning around.
"Don't do anything impudent"
The spectral figure disappeared in a few seconds.
Lucy's smile disappeared while she fell on her knees.
"I haven't met those in a while" Said Lucy.
"What was that?" Asked Cerberus in a low voice.
"They are reapers" Said Lucy.
"So those are reapers… no wonder the death soul aura was so intense" Though Alfonso.
"Let's move quickly, we are almost there" Said Lucy.
The trio moved without noticing that something was looking at them from the shadows.
