Faced with Auntie Li from the management committee’s “earnest expectations,” Lin Xiaoqiang really wanted to play dead.

After all, as the president of the so-called “Supernatural Research Club,” he was nothing more than a figurehead—there wasn’t even a proper clubroom, and the only member was himself. If he were to generously include those enthusiastic classmates who kept posting lost-cat notices on the club’s bulletin board, maybe—just maybe—he could barely count five people.

However, the peace of the community, and his sense of responsibility as a (barely qualifies as one) superpowered individual (with about one hair’s worth of responsibility), eventually pushed him to take action. At the very least, he could start by “investigating” the enemy situation.

So, on a sunny afternoon, Lin Xiaoqiang sneakily arrived at the community park. He perked up his ears, trying hard to pick up the thoughts of the nearby animals.

“Today’s sunshine feels great. Perfect time to think about how to make those two-legged creatures offer up snacks on their own.”
That was the inner voice of a Chihuahua lying under a bench.
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡruzRybQc5O
“That servant in the blue clothes hid the bone yesterday. I’ll find a chance to ‘visit’ his home later.”
This came from another mixed-breed dog.

The more Lin Xiaoqiang listened, the more alarmed he became. These dogs not only had “revolutionary awareness,” but also clear divisions of labor and intelligence gathering! These weren’t just ordinary stray dogs—they were basically a group of furry… tacticians!
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmoUsGAlHHY
Just as he was trying to analyze the intel, a sudden voice interrupted his thoughts.
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfC4ORkRZGd
“Hey! What are you sneaking around here for?”
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhqDxsuEyJ
Startled, Lin Xiaoqiang turned around and saw Wang Meili, holding a very expensive-looking Persian cat and looking at him with deep suspicion.
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkcu8hhxMU
“I... I’m just observing the community’s ecological environment,”
Lin Xiaoqiang explained awkwardly.
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIEtloPvOo
“Observing the ecological environment? You look more like you’re peeping at the grandmas sunbathing over there,”
Wang Meili bluntly teased.
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsGxBK6NHN
The corner of Lin Xiaoqiang’s mouth twitched. He decided to get straight to the point.
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbTkrqOETY
“Um... Wang Meili, have you noticed that the stray dogs around here have been acting a little... off lately?”
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLu6TTJsVEP
Wang Meili raised an eyebrow.
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSiayTUM7PJ
“Off? Haven’t they always been noisy? Barking at night, running wild during the day, even eating the flowers in the garden.”
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzPNGS7pKO
“No, not that kind of off! I mean... they seem to be plotting something!”
Lin Xiaoqiang lowered his voice, speaking with a mysterious tone.
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKrW0zfC7F
Wang Meili snorted, then walked over to the pavilion and sat down with her Persian cat.
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3WM3pgYCT
“Plotting? What could they possibly be plotting? How to snatch more bones?”
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEGZO8QmDQ
“No! They’re plotting... to rule humanity!”
Lin Xiaoqiang blurted out.
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoETFasoNHr
Wang Meili’s hand slipped, nearly dropping the Persian cat from her arms. The pampered-looking cat let out a dissatisfied “meow.”
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lJM6Gf4sw
“You... you said what? Rule humanity? Are you running a fever?”
Wang Meili looked at him like he was an alien.
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RhpQ8V12x
“I’m not sick! I can hear their thoughts! They really are scheming! Their goal is to make humans lazier, so we’ll willingly serve them!”
Lin Xiaoqiang explained anxiously, afraid she wouldn’t believe him.
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkeURYNkJh
Wang Meili was silent for a moment. Her expression shifted from doubt to something… stranger.
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwHAMifWQh
“You can hear animals’ thoughts? Seriously?”
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQSp8tg3HU
Lin Xiaoqiang nodded helplessly.
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuQUihD85c
“Yes. And they even mock me for being single.”
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqpOsQQod6
The corner of Wang Meili’s mouth twitched slightly, clearly trying to hold back laughter.
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FiqqbD6cC
“Okay, let’s say you’re telling the truth… so what? Are we supposed to form some kind of ‘Anti-Canine Alliance?’”
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uFYMqsUzP
“I... I just think we should do something,”
Lin Xiaoqiang said earnestly.
“After all, we both have... um… ‘special abilities.’”
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KntxIktQk
Wang Meili gave him a sidelong glance, then looked at the Persian cat in her arms, who was currently giving a judgmental look at a mutt chasing its own tail. She suddenly let out a sigh.
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKERSwPvS34
“Alright, seeing as you’re being so serious… and besides, it might actually be fun.”
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡge3YgiBVtD
And so, on a sunny afternoon, in a park filled with the smell of dog poop, the Community College Supernatural Research Club welcomed its second (and only other) member.
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNxpbzwX4Z
A “Save Humanity Grand Operation” formed by a broke, good-for-nothing club president and a part-time model with pink-colored superpowers quietly began.
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rmuqbSHoZ
And their first step—was to find that so-called legendary “Dog King.”
