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.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmAy3ETsth
“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.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ251EBbdazT
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!
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pX0A81ABO
Just as he was trying to analyze the intel, a sudden voice interrupted his thoughts.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNL9EgHCM8
“Hey! What are you sneaking around here for?”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SCY0p5Qt5
Startled, Lin Xiaoqiang turned around and saw Wang Meili, holding a very expensive-looking Persian cat and looking at him with deep suspicion.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pqDqq6Kci
“I... I’m just observing the community’s ecological environment,”
Lin Xiaoqiang explained awkwardly.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9L5BDDLfJ
“Observing the ecological environment? You look more like you’re peeping at the grandmas sunbathing over there,”
Wang Meili bluntly teased.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrP1VUngvFZ
The corner of Lin Xiaoqiang’s mouth twitched. He decided to get straight to the point.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNEQpJmTmo
“Um... Wang Meili, have you noticed that the stray dogs around here have been acting a little... off lately?”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0AY0szlZu
Wang Meili raised an eyebrow.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1ZwshpTaG
“Off? Haven’t they always been noisy? Barking at night, running wild during the day, even eating the flowers in the garden.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0g8BL97UE3
“No, not that kind of off! I mean... they seem to be plotting something!”
Lin Xiaoqiang lowered his voice, speaking with a mysterious tone.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CxcRjB2uQ
Wang Meili snorted, then walked over to the pavilion and sat down with her Persian cat.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DfxKxtj6Z
“Plotting? What could they possibly be plotting? How to snatch more bones?”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fE04BMj7Z
“No! They’re plotting... to rule humanity!”
Lin Xiaoqiang blurted out.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWygllxWPTS
Wang Meili’s hand slipped, nearly dropping the Persian cat from her arms. The pampered-looking cat let out a dissatisfied “meow.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkhC05c8ag
“You... you said what? Rule humanity? Are you running a fever?”
Wang Meili looked at him like he was an alien.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMi9HL2kqyq
“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.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCq6EyFKdR
Wang Meili was silent for a moment. Her expression shifted from doubt to something… stranger.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7fTPTset9
“You can hear animals’ thoughts? Seriously?”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffw3lHIFiT
Lin Xiaoqiang nodded helplessly.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDy7Ol9PB2H
“Yes. And they even mock me for being single.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLodF3M39nI
The corner of Wang Meili’s mouth twitched slightly, clearly trying to hold back laughter.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8btCdkoGxD
“Okay, let’s say you’re telling the truth… so what? Are we supposed to form some kind of ‘Anti-Canine Alliance?’”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidgTdAuewU
“I... I just think we should do something,”
Lin Xiaoqiang said earnestly.
“After all, we both have... um… ‘special abilities.’”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrt9UvyV0tV
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.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHC9vYO1GQ
“Alright, seeing as you’re being so serious… and besides, it might actually be fun.”

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.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBQuei3nxY
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.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu92J3UcUOj
And their first step—was to find that so-called legendary “Dog King.”
