"A Supernatural Encounter… and a Supernatural Problem"
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrfJtFDtAc
"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.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQuGMlfsQsB
"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?"
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7WOufnvqS
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."
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDf96FqfpxG
Lin Xiaoqiang looked into Nerd’s eager eyes and had a sinking feeling in his gut. Sure enough, the guy turned to him next.

"And what about you? You looked super intense just now. Wait—are you a psychic too?" His eyes sparkled with hope.

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."
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9dPfDsLEt
The lie crumbled instantly.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gCkoGO3Fu
"Liar! I heard you mention a 'Dog King' and 'world domination' just now!" Nerd squinted like a detective who had just cracked the case.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSjELbVj0g
Lin Xiaoqiang sighed in defeat.
"Fine… I admit it. I can hear animals’ thoughts."
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNQIaGaZv2
"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!"
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fwtA9emrh
Wang Meili groaned and held her forehead.
"Keep your voice down! What if those dogs hear you?"
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpoJBgk5oc
"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.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxvqdeI7z8
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.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwIvTqHetB3
And they were right.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jUPWPkWBc
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!"
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0S3AZPgYw
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.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKS83lsCbku
Even worse, Nerd came up with his own strategies to "help."
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7klSu9FWR
"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.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHij5hGwpKm
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."
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ksT5BnqIV
The result? Total chaos.
Fights broke out among the dogs over the strange "strategic supplies," with loud barking and frantic tussling filling the air.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSDH2AY8m1
Lin Xiaoqiang, listening to the furious and bewildered dog thoughts around him, wanted to crawl into a hole.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVIUVJJBJc
"What the heck is up with that pink bone?! Is this some kind of insult to canine dignity?!"
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTghfzex1oh
"CAT SOUNDS?! Is this a feline declaration of war?! Charge, brothers!"
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8ivNyQMzM
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.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcfBrUDb2k
"Look! He’s engaging with me! He must sense my brilliance!" Nerd cried, snapping photos with wild enthusiasm.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvlcNP28HdD
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.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPH3dyxLnA
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!
