"A Supernatural Encounter… and a Supernatural Problem"
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64rLnCNzfS
"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.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzII4OZd9H
"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?"
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNjcRXt0Gz
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."
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSGlwXnYCB
Lin Xiaoqiang looked into Nerd’s eager eyes and had a sinking feeling in his gut. Sure enough, the guy turned to him next.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4sClQL1Kj0
"And what about you? You looked super intense just now. Wait—are you a psychic too?" His eyes sparkled with hope.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55UM2uhlm6
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."
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHbSiU8Nli
The lie crumbled instantly.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqdOP3w1aN
"Liar! I heard you mention a 'Dog King' and 'world domination' just now!" Nerd squinted like a detective who had just cracked the case.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QPmhlGO2W
Lin Xiaoqiang sighed in defeat.
"Fine… I admit it. I can hear animals’ thoughts."
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGi9gPKenZ
"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!"
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2UY62mCti4
Wang Meili groaned and held her forehead.
"Keep your voice down! What if those dogs hear you?"
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVNxe8VATD
"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.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3jkYIfGhK
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.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKaUNRTADC
And they were right.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemwwAItXuQ
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!"
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj953TbrBWo
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.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XyVFg8dHi
Even worse, Nerd came up with his own strategies to "help."
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezxiRVnYCI
"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.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdGveYlSN5
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."
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡciF9G9iOMS
The result? Total chaos.
Fights broke out among the dogs over the strange "strategic supplies," with loud barking and frantic tussling filling the air.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowZUein7Nx
Lin Xiaoqiang, listening to the furious and bewildered dog thoughts around him, wanted to crawl into a hole.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VdyGTSFlk
"What the heck is up with that pink bone?! Is this some kind of insult to canine dignity?!"
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlI7vAKcLl
"CAT SOUNDS?! Is this a feline declaration of war?! Charge, brothers!"
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8m8uX5V5x7
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.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPOthArIwE
"Look! He’s engaging with me! He must sense my brilliance!" Nerd cried, snapping photos with wild enthusiasm.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZg5SXIBWKT
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.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDy1NwYepng
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!
