Chapter 189: Business

On the right side of the camera was a crank that could be turned, while the left side featured a strange indentation, about the size of a fist.

The lighting in the room was very poor, with an old-fashioned lamp with a lampshade placed in each corner of the room—the only sources of illumination within.

As the black pedal was stepped on, the wall directly in front of the camera lens began to change. The dark red velvet curtains that had been concealing it slowly drew apart to either side, revealing the scene behind them.
