70. The Land of Gathering Yin is not to be underestimated

When the two of us took a bath that night, I could clearly feel the two black dogs were very restless, and even one of them was constantly growling...

I put the braver one inside the room and the other outside, knowing that malevolent spirits generally tend not to mess with black dogs. This way, a simple test would reveal what was really going on here.

The night passed without incident.

Just as dawn was breaking, I took Liu Zi'ang and Lu Chen out jogging, but when we got to where the black dogs were tethered, I was stunned...

The black dog was dead, torn to pieces, a truly pitiful sight...

Lu Chen looked upset, while Liu Zi'ang immediately crouched down and started to throw up.

I went over to inspect the black dog's corpse and found it had been bitten into this state by something. A cursory attempt to reassemble it showed no missing flesh or bones, so... what was missing was the soul.
