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.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAkBJRQvbTBL
“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.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAVi9fWtEO8L
“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.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAoQVj8Wq4c9
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!

Just as he was trying to analyze the intel, a sudden voice interrupted his thoughts.
188Please respect copyright.PENANA0EUwYukdMN
“Hey! What are you sneaking around here for?”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAJi4Svadfor
Startled, Lin Xiaoqiang turned around and saw Wang Meili, holding a very expensive-looking Persian cat and looking at him with deep suspicion.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAW7SvchPcMy
“I... I’m just observing the community’s ecological environment,”
Lin Xiaoqiang explained awkwardly.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAcfraBYZBo9
“Observing the ecological environment? You look more like you’re peeping at the grandmas sunbathing over there,”
Wang Meili bluntly teased.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAo2fSWoPtmZ
The corner of Lin Xiaoqiang’s mouth twitched. He decided to get straight to the point.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAxCyQJkNhwl
“Um... Wang Meili, have you noticed that the stray dogs around here have been acting a little... off lately?”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAR5SbDmPAbT
Wang Meili raised an eyebrow.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAU0IYW28Z5Q
“Off? Haven’t they always been noisy? Barking at night, running wild during the day, even eating the flowers in the garden.”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAPzfwTRp9cv
“No, not that kind of off! I mean... they seem to be plotting something!”
Lin Xiaoqiang lowered his voice, speaking with a mysterious tone.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAAkss9RaCUl
Wang Meili snorted, then walked over to the pavilion and sat down with her Persian cat.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAGuJ8Kdo8rT
“Plotting? What could they possibly be plotting? How to snatch more bones?”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAySWbmInJYf
“No! They’re plotting... to rule humanity!”
Lin Xiaoqiang blurted out.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAGyhnx24a3w
Wang Meili’s hand slipped, nearly dropping the Persian cat from her arms. The pampered-looking cat let out a dissatisfied “meow.”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAgq14DPWjar
“You... you said what? Rule humanity? Are you running a fever?”
Wang Meili looked at him like he was an alien.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAwjv6PTk8pr
“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.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAw0UEQZjwuO
Wang Meili was silent for a moment. Her expression shifted from doubt to something… stranger.
188Please respect copyright.PENANA2xyvghhaY7
“You can hear animals’ thoughts? Seriously?”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAnkup5fLT9o
Lin Xiaoqiang nodded helplessly.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAYjklQOx6O3
“Yes. And they even mock me for being single.”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAYZ2C9YnspG
The corner of Wang Meili’s mouth twitched slightly, clearly trying to hold back laughter.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAN69nOUo17Q
“Okay, let’s say you’re telling the truth… so what? Are we supposed to form some kind of ‘Anti-Canine Alliance?’”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAuTbhCzHKNQ
“I... I just think we should do something,”
Lin Xiaoqiang said earnestly.
“After all, we both have... um… ‘special abilities.’”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAUN993sYu7W
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.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAcnEu8o7FkM
“Alright, seeing as you’re being so serious… and besides, it might actually be fun.”
188Please respect copyright.PENANA2Oq9TfZDFH
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.
188Please respect copyright.PENANApMo7GsjUJZ
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.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAc7MtBMsFat
And their first step—was to find that so-called legendary “Dog King.”
