"A Supernatural Encounter… and a Supernatural Problem"
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDj9EbEs0h
"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.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzLwcP6JO6
"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?"
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6J5rhjuFyO
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."
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zsMffvbx2
Lin Xiaoqiang looked into Nerd’s eager eyes and had a sinking feeling in his gut. Sure enough, the guy turned to him next.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8EZCxSquHk
"And what about you? You looked super intense just now. Wait—are you a psychic too?" His eyes sparkled with hope.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvGSqUJpdQ
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."
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1aUDgIksZ
The lie crumbled instantly.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTurcKAF9o
"Liar! I heard you mention a 'Dog King' and 'world domination' just now!" Nerd squinted like a detective who had just cracked the case.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUawu8yI5Dt
Lin Xiaoqiang sighed in defeat.
"Fine… I admit it. I can hear animals’ thoughts."
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lO5RPcIt4
"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!"
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZtN2ndYW3
Wang Meili groaned and held her forehead.
"Keep your voice down! What if those dogs hear you?"
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5vLXGlnbR
"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.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ycy0QPbtA
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.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmH37AzbCVE
And they were right.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQ5nAyuMa1
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!"
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmuVNabShj
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.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9X8YYt0sY
Even worse, Nerd came up with his own strategies to "help."
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXORcGc4k1
"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.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgMAtZqgLj
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."
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1jqWGj6BA
The result? Total chaos.
Fights broke out among the dogs over the strange "strategic supplies," with loud barking and frantic tussling filling the air.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyr9HjNf3F
Lin Xiaoqiang, listening to the furious and bewildered dog thoughts around him, wanted to crawl into a hole.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZTh9w2cvW
"What the heck is up with that pink bone?! Is this some kind of insult to canine dignity?!"
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxuNWpyyHAe
"CAT SOUNDS?! Is this a feline declaration of war?! Charge, brothers!"
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuViXAEMvT7
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.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcnI5uFsFVb
"Look! He’s engaging with me! He must sense my brilliance!" Nerd cried, snapping photos with wild enthusiasm.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQeOa7XFKmv
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.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6WQjhdFMQ
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!
