A Masked Deception Part Five

"I guess this is just how it should end", he reassured himself as he stepped inside the hidden room in the treasury. The room was closer to a locker than a room, and its insides were only big enough to contain a large chest. Blank-Faced Joe took out an electric lamp from a pocket under his chest and put it on the sides of the walls.

He cracked a laugh as he crouched down and took out the star-shaped key while readying himself. "What a joke…", he couldn't help but exclaim as he approached the star-shaped key toward the chest. Its shape was similar to the chests that were used as furniture. It was made of wood, and the only difference was the way to open it. A star-shaped indent could be seen on the lock, and there was no need to be a genius to know that it was the place where the key should be put to reveal its content.
