"Your plan is insane!" Lin Xiaoqiang shouted at Dog King, who was watching the pink dogs, "What you're doing is going to hurt them!"
"Hurt them? Hmph! I'm guiding them to evolve!" Dog King sneered, waving his claws triumphantly. "Once they fully transform into adorable pink creatures, humans will drop their guard and obediently become our servants!"
"Meili! We have to stop him!" Lin Xiaoqiang turned to Wang Meili.
Wang Meili’s face turned serious as she looked at the pink dogs trapped in the cages. A complicated emotion surged within her. She hadn't expected her superpower to be exploited by Dog King to create such a terrifying "virus."
"I know!" Wang Meili took a deep breath, and her hands began to emit a strong pink light once again.
"Trying to use your pink sorcery against me? Not that easy!" Dog King howled, commanding a few unaffected dogs to lunge toward them.
Lin Xiaoqiang quickly stepped forward to block the dogs, though he lacked direct combat abilities. However, he could hear the dogs' thoughts and predict their movements, managing to dodge just in time.
"Ah Zhai! What are you doing? Take pictures!" Lin Xiaoqiang yelled while evading the dogs' attacks, calling out to the still-dazed Ah Zhai.
"Huh? Oh! Right!" Ah Zhai snapped out of his trance, hastily raising his camera to capture photos of Dog King and the pink dogs. He hoped to gather evidence of Dog King’s crimes, just in case there was an "Supernatural Crime Bureau" in Barbie City to report to (though he wasn’t sure such a department even existed).
Just when Lin Xiaoqiang was about to be overwhelmed, Wang Meili finally finished charging up her power. A more intense pink light than ever before erupted from her hands, sweeping toward Dog King and the pink dogs like a tsunami.
"No!" Dog King screamed in terror, attempting to dodge the overwhelming pink energy.
But it was too late. The pink light engulfed the entire laboratory in an instant.
When the pink glow faded, the scene inside the laboratory had completely changed.
The pink color on the dogs, which had once been so vibrant, began to fade, and their fur gradually returned to its original color. Their eyes cleared up, and they exchanged confused looks, seemingly unsure of their previous state of stupor.
As for Dog King... while his fur hadn't turned pink, there was now a faint... strawberry scent emanating from him! His expression had become vacant, and his eyes were filled with confusion.
"Woof... woof... today’s strawberry scent... is so sweet..." Dog King murmured, completely losing the previous ferocity and cunning.
The dogs that had once been controlled by Dog King also regained their sanity. They stared in confusion at Dog King, who was emitting a strawberry fragrance, not understanding what had happened.
"What... what’s going on?" Lin Xiaoqiang said, astonished by the scene.
Wang Meili blinked in confusion. "I don't know... I just wanted to use stronger pink energy to counter his virus... Maybe... my pink power is actually a kind of... antidote?"
Ah Zhai put down his camera, excited. "This is so cool! Pink not only dyes things, but it can also neutralize toxins! This is definitely a major discovery in the supernatural world!"
Just as they were relieved to have stopped Dog King's "Pink Frenzy Virus," a sudden, urgent siren sounded outside the laboratory.
"The police are here!" Lin Xiaoqiang's expression changed.
They rushed to the window and saw several pink police cars parked outside the abandoned factory, with a group of officers in pink uniforms running toward the building.
"We’ve been discovered!" Wang Meili said, panic creeping into her voice.
"It must have been the intense pink light earlier!" Ah Zhai added nervously.
Just as they were unsure of what to do, the strawberry-scented Dog King suddenly staggered over. In an unusually gentle voice, he said, "Woof... woof... Uncle police... your uniforms... are so pretty..."
The officers, seeing a dog emitting a strawberry scent and the chaos inside the lab, exchanged incredulous looks.
