章節 261: Where or Who?

Raylen's words were sharp, and even Emily could detect the anger in his tone. "The souls imprisoned where she was kept were all unimportant. No one would have cared for them," he murmured. 

Emily could only imagine that the Devil was trying to hunt down the person who had released them.
