Hougen walked out of the room and decided to pick out a random volunteer to test out this... experiment.

He didn't want to pick his brother Genba, of course, but he wanted to see if anyone wanted to volunteer.

"Hey guys!" Hougen said in a completely innocent tone. "I want to try a little something down here, anyone wanna check it out? One person only, please!"

Most of the dogs looked suspicious, but one gullible weimaraner decided to step up.

"Oh, what a poor soul..." Hougen thought. "About to get cut up by me and served up to all of the other dogs!"

Hougen gladly accepted his victim, and led him down into the room. Before the victim could react, he was quickly knocked out by a heavy object bashed onto his head.

(Oooh, gonna leave you guys at a cliffhanger!)
