"A Supernatural Encounter… and a Supernatural Problem"
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8Xukdza0r
"Supernatural phenomenon! It has to be! This is amazing! I finally caught it on camera!"
The bespectacled nerd waved his arms in excitement, completely oblivious to the chaotic aftermath of the "Canine Summit" around him—or to the awkward expressions on Lin Xiaoqiang and Wang Meili’s faces.

"Um… and you are…?" Lin Xiaoqiang asked cautiously.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZehVhDxEpK
"Just call me Nerd! I'm with the community college photography club, and also a... well... supernatural phenomena enthusiast!" Nerd pushed up his thick glasses and beamed at Wang Meili.
"That pink light just now… was that your power? That’s so cool! You can turn things pink! How does it work? Is it energy discharge or quantum entanglement?"
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mViLbRLSW
Wang Meili blinked, momentarily thrown off by the barrage of questions. She gave an awkward chuckle.
"Uh… it’s sort of… a personal gift, I guess."
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRS6u5wpwL
Lin Xiaoqiang looked into Nerd’s eager eyes and had a sinking feeling in his gut. Sure enough, the guy turned to him next.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWVOElBOvJ
"And what about you? You looked super intense just now. Wait—are you a psychic too?" His eyes sparkled with hope.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUvigYpewE
Lin Xiaoqiang cleared his throat and pointed at a tree nearby, where a squirrel was nibbling on the bark.
"I, uh… I study plant ecology."
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWiKPwyksX
The lie crumbled instantly.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVEboSA132
"Liar! I heard you mention a 'Dog King' and 'world domination' just now!" Nerd squinted like a detective who had just cracked the case.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZK8OI4dQK
Lin Xiaoqiang sighed in defeat.
"Fine… I admit it. I can hear animals’ thoughts."
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0eWXqfZDc
"NO WAY?! That’s amazing! So what were the dogs saying earlier? Are they really planning to take over the world? This is huge—like, history-channel-documentary huge!"
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUx0QxaxPVi
Wang Meili groaned and held her forehead.
"Keep your voice down! What if those dogs hear you?"
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPPCasDu1V
"No worries! I recorded everything! I’ll analyze their battle plans when I get home!" Nerd proudly held up his camera, as if he’d just filmed proof of alien life.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUpNutcIA3
Lin Xiaoqiang and Wang Meili exchanged another glance. Neither of them said it, but their eyes spoke volumes:
This guy might be more dangerous than the dogs.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkEvWUkXr5
And they were right.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GpXXwaIdp
Determined to "better understand the enemy," Nerd started showing up in the park every day with his camera gear, roaming around like a documentary filmmaker on a mission. He’d randomly sprint up to groups of dogs, shove his lens in their faces, and mutter things like:
"Yes! Give me that eye contact! I want to capture your world-dominating ambition!"
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxScsNHqUav
Unsurprisingly, the dogs soon became wary—and irritated.
What had once been a relatively secretive "canine uprising" was now attracting attention thanks to this overly enthusiastic documentarian.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xlBtif5mQ
Even worse, Nerd came up with his own strategies to "help."
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2HC4uZ7WV8
"Based on my analysis, the Dog King must have some unique charisma! If we find his weakness, we can dismantle their power structure from within!" Nerd announced confidently.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiq7mPMSrM7
So he began placing bizarre "bait" all over the park—pink-bowed bones, squeaky toys playing cat sounds, and other nonsense designed to "confuse the leader."
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZawPrlVpkU
The result? Total chaos.
Fights broke out among the dogs over the strange "strategic supplies," with loud barking and frantic tussling filling the air.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrL1LJpXpxa
Lin Xiaoqiang, listening to the furious and bewildered dog thoughts around him, wanted to crawl into a hole.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLB0Hmdn6o
"What the heck is up with that pink bone?! Is this some kind of insult to canine dignity?!"
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4deEASr8sc
"CAT SOUNDS?! Is this a feline declaration of war?! Charge, brothers!"
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAR5oGYvR03
Any semblance of authority the Dog King had managed to build collapsed overnight.
Enraged, he barked furiously at Nerd—who, of course, misread the whole situation.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rTDI5OH59
"Look! He’s engaging with me! He must sense my brilliance!" Nerd cried, snapping photos with wild enthusiasm.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTDOhuk1Q8
Lin Xiaoqiang and Wang Meili stared in stunned silence.
They had finally learned a painful truth:
Sometimes, a clueless ally is scarier than the enemy.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsSD3Scuom
So… what glorious future awaits this “Anti-Dog Alliance” now that Nerd has joined their ranks?
And how will the Dog King respond after suffering these humiliating setbacks?

🐶✨ Stay tuned for the next bark-tastic disaster!
