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.
106Please respect copyright.PENANA4VxcVzkqF8
“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.
106Please respect copyright.PENANA51TXrfvOn8
“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.
106Please respect copyright.PENANA9nYGQ3lrzj
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!
106Please respect copyright.PENANAzp7FXHU4PN
Just as he was trying to analyze the intel, a sudden voice interrupted his thoughts.
106Please respect copyright.PENANArSGfC2kiWK
“Hey! What are you sneaking around here for?”
106Please respect copyright.PENANAuZg3PbFOvh
Startled, Lin Xiaoqiang turned around and saw Wang Meili, holding a very expensive-looking Persian cat and looking at him with deep suspicion.
106Please respect copyright.PENANAKdGhOO06pq
“I... I’m just observing the community’s ecological environment,”
Lin Xiaoqiang explained awkwardly.
106Please respect copyright.PENANAPyt4CWxcOJ
“Observing the ecological environment? You look more like you’re peeping at the grandmas sunbathing over there,”
Wang Meili bluntly teased.
106Please respect copyright.PENANAuZU0pX2Ln3
The corner of Lin Xiaoqiang’s mouth twitched. He decided to get straight to the point.
106Please respect copyright.PENANAGVxcrIEE1f
“Um... Wang Meili, have you noticed that the stray dogs around here have been acting a little... off lately?”
106Please respect copyright.PENANA1PDwHI5akJ
Wang Meili raised an eyebrow.
106Please respect copyright.PENANA1UrdqxtdMG
“Off? Haven’t they always been noisy? Barking at night, running wild during the day, even eating the flowers in the garden.”
106Please respect copyright.PENANAt7qooVPB3C
“No, not that kind of off! I mean... they seem to be plotting something!”
Lin Xiaoqiang lowered his voice, speaking with a mysterious tone.
106Please respect copyright.PENANAEi47172IWY
Wang Meili snorted, then walked over to the pavilion and sat down with her Persian cat.
106Please respect copyright.PENANAXoX2TFR8Ds
“Plotting? What could they possibly be plotting? How to snatch more bones?”
106Please respect copyright.PENANAyDVTRtbZ2d
“No! They’re plotting... to rule humanity!”
Lin Xiaoqiang blurted out.
106Please respect copyright.PENANAnhIs2Sksk7
Wang Meili’s hand slipped, nearly dropping the Persian cat from her arms. The pampered-looking cat let out a dissatisfied “meow.”
106Please respect copyright.PENANAs2HqpEWJL9
“You... you said what? Rule humanity? Are you running a fever?”
Wang Meili looked at him like he was an alien.
106Please respect copyright.PENANATxdjPx6tvY
“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.
106Please respect copyright.PENANAxQhjnut3S0
Wang Meili was silent for a moment. Her expression shifted from doubt to something… stranger.
106Please respect copyright.PENANAeeCjeDLsjs
“You can hear animals’ thoughts? Seriously?”
106Please respect copyright.PENANA7ABsC5XESI
Lin Xiaoqiang nodded helplessly.
106Please respect copyright.PENANAdVTEa86TMu
“Yes. And they even mock me for being single.”
106Please respect copyright.PENANAMzob10MsYK
The corner of Wang Meili’s mouth twitched slightly, clearly trying to hold back laughter.
106Please respect copyright.PENANAcb2pRsTROG
“Okay, let’s say you’re telling the truth… so what? Are we supposed to form some kind of ‘Anti-Canine Alliance?’”
106Please respect copyright.PENANAorXrjysKzs
“I... I just think we should do something,”
Lin Xiaoqiang said earnestly.
“After all, we both have... um… ‘special abilities.’”
106Please respect copyright.PENANAIwhKAMtRYT
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.
106Please respect copyright.PENANAldUXh8ulIg
“Alright, seeing as you’re being so serious… and besides, it might actually be fun.”
106Please respect copyright.PENANAb2HJUHWROh
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.
106Please respect copyright.PENANAMSryfKMhbk
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.
106Please respect copyright.PENANAtZ5aHUy7kA
And their first step—was to find that so-called legendary “Dog King.”
