Chapter 49 - Chapter 48 Until Death

"A human?"

Yukino was startled, her body involuntarily retreating a few steps.

She had imagined that the "dog" in front of her might ambush, confuse, or even be a realistic illusion, but she never would have thought that the "dog" in front of her was a human.

"Then does it still have human consciousness? Does it still know it's a human?"

Yukino looked at the human in front of her, feeling as if something was lodged in her heart.

Turning a human into a dog... Yukino probably wouldn't forget this scene her entire life; the horror was no less than that of the human walrus!

"I don't know, but I have a way to test it."

Bai Yuze had owned dogs before, so he immediately thought of a method to test whether the human in front of him still possessed human consciousness.

"Oi! Come here! Tsst, tsst, tsst!"

Bai Yuze used his "tsst, tsst, tsst" method on the "dog" in front of him, and the "dog," upon hearing Bai Yuze's call, slowly crawled over.

At this moment, Bai Yuze grabbed a cleaver and swung it violently towards the "dog's" face. He deliberately slowed his movements a little so the "dog" could clearly see his actions and understand his intention.

But Bai Yuze didn't actually strike; the knife stopped suspended above the "dog's" face.

The result was just as Bai Yuze had expected: the "dog" in front of him hung its head, lay on the ground, its eyes tightly shut, looking as if it feared punishment.

"The experiment is over. It has no human consciousness; it thoroughly believes itself to be a dog."

Bai Yuze's test was simple: when faced with an attack, humans would instinctively bend their arms to defend and dodge, while trained dogs would tightly close their eyes, appearing fearful but willing to endure the harm.

This also indirectly showed that the "dog" had undergone multiple beatings and training. In other words, the human in front of him had been domesticated...

"It's beyond saving. It's already numb; its subconscious believes it's a dog. Even if we take it out of this dilapidated house, it won't be able to live independently. It might even fight with other stray dogs for food on the street!"

"Poor thing... When do you think it was taken in?"

Yukino looked at the dog with pity, which made her increasingly curious and puzzled about the truth of the house.

Could this be some strange research institute for animal-human body part swapping technology?!

"Its size looks like it's around twelve years old. Domesticating an adult would be much harder and wouldn't achieve complete domestication. Even if memories are lost, the subconscious would still exist."

"Don't forget, it's not just a human domesticated into a dog; it's also a bizarre entity."

Bai Yuze once again held the knife to the dog's neck, ensuring that the moment the dog attacked him, he could instantly slit its throat.

He used his other hand to grab the Necklace around the dog's neck, which was clearly a Necklace sized for a puppy.

"The size of this Necklace... Indeed, if it weren't a bizarre entity, it would have been strangled to death long ago. But I feel it's better off dead; not only is it trapped in this dark place, but it also has to constantly endure the torment of suffocation."

And just as Yukino was muttering to herself, Bai Yuze walked over to the male corpse and cut a piece of flesh from it.

He shook the piece of meat in front of the dog, and the dog's eyes followed the swaying meat.

"Want to eat? Help me out, and all of this is yours."

You want something from me, and I want you to provide value to me. This applies everywhere. Stray cats "flirt" to get food from human hands, and humans, in order to pet cats and gain emotional value, also take the risk of being scratched. In this process, both parties simply get what they need.

Of course! There might be instances of cat food jumping, and then one can only blame the heavens, the earth, and the uncooperative Haji cat.

The bizarre dog's drool was almost enough to fill Tokyo Bay, so after understanding Bai Yuze's meaning, it quickly nodded.

Seeing this, Bai Yuze directly threw the meat in his hand to it, but a single piece of meat was a drop in the bucket for the bizarre dog's appetite.

It didn't even have time to savor it before the meat slid into its stomach.

Therefore, it could only look at Bai Yuze with longing eyes, begging Yuze to give it more.

"Don't rush, eat after you're done."

Bai Yuze knew that the iron chain couldn't be cut or removed, but the Necklace connected to it was made of leather, so he immediately thought of a way to punish those naughty kids.

Whose childhood wasn't chased by the neighbor's Big Yellow? Bai Yuze, in his great compassion, helped these children complete their childhoods; truly boundless love!

"Remember, besides her and me, you bite anyone else you see. Understand?"

The bizarre dog nodded, and then Bai Yuze used his knife to cut the Necklace that was restraining it. He didn't cut it completely, leaving the last bit intact.

"All right, let's go!"

The bizarre dog received Bai Yuze's instruction and darted out with a whoosh, the force directly tearing the Necklace from its neck. Bai Yuze then hid inside the house to avoid the water droplets, pulling Yukino in with him.

"It's gone now. Shouldn't we continue looking for the green door?"

Facing Yukino's question, Bai Yuze calmly said,

"I suddenly have a bold idea. You'll understand in a moment."

Yukino looked puzzled but still chose to rest for a while.

After a while, a child appeared at the doorway, covered in scars. It seemed his childhood had been completed.

"What? Do you want to fight me head-on?"

Bai Yuze touched the blade of the cleaver. He didn't know if there would be fine wine when friends came, but when enemies came, he'd strike first.

"I... I'm sorry..."

The bizarre entity uncharacteristically apologized, which made Bai Yuze wonder if his ears had been covered by the bizarre infant.

"You... can you make that big dog stop? It bit my friends..."

"Why? Why should I listen to you?"

Bai Yuze laughed aloud. The bizarre entity in front of him truly had a child's mindset, genuinely believing that "a salute, a handshake, you're my good friend" applied everywhere!

You must experience more pain than me to make me happy. You must suffer more than me for it to count as an apology! Until death! Only then will it end!

He had always disliked naughty children. From the moment the bizarre entity tried to harm him and Yukino, their end was destined to be tragic. If Bai Yuze could find these guys' ashes, he would absolutely, without hesitation, add water to their ashes and then tell Yamauchi Haruki that it was black sesame paste, tricking him into drinking it.

Oh, I almost forgot, Yamauchi Haruki should be queuing in the underworld right now, he won't get to enjoy this delicacy...

"It's not impossible for me to make it stop, unless you help me with something. Otherwise, no deal."

Just kidding, even if it helped, it couldn't be stopped. In such a large basement, where would he find a dog? Bai Yuze just wanted to seize the opportunity to get some benefits.
