"A Supernatural Encounter… and a Supernatural Problem"
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkP6V8EDA1o
"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.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDckzpTm6oP
"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?"
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HQkdczHzN
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."
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhZjPwle8L
Lin Xiaoqiang looked into Nerd’s eager eyes and had a sinking feeling in his gut. Sure enough, the guy turned to him next.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8TmozIUzf
"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."
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2IhzZw3eLf
The lie crumbled instantly.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwj6Ehr3SGh
"Liar! I heard you mention a 'Dog King' and 'world domination' just now!" Nerd squinted like a detective who had just cracked the case.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnfTaCM7MZ
Lin Xiaoqiang sighed in defeat.
"Fine… I admit it. I can hear animals’ thoughts."
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkddOCl5Ai
"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!"
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshDj8Waqmj
Wang Meili groaned and held her forehead.
"Keep your voice down! What if those dogs hear you?"
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUjWkGCmQZ
"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.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzLN9oZUwH
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.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRbOoEXnqE
And they were right.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9c7oPIcoF
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!"
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibUgDIhpPq
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.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ONKrU6bfH
Even worse, Nerd came up with his own strategies to "help."
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcOFqJEg9T
"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.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5mWwOKgYl
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."
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfUalgyuVM
The result? Total chaos.
Fights broke out among the dogs over the strange "strategic supplies," with loud barking and frantic tussling filling the air.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6yVe6rPnc
Lin Xiaoqiang, listening to the furious and bewildered dog thoughts around him, wanted to crawl into a hole.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRea3b0pif
"What the heck is up with that pink bone?! Is this some kind of insult to canine dignity?!"
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxCxJsbf7s
"CAT SOUNDS?! Is this a feline declaration of war?! Charge, brothers!"
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAoHqqhZ8u
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.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIoPbHCguBz
"Look! He’s engaging with me! He must sense my brilliance!" Nerd cried, snapping photos with wild enthusiasm.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwY7iG76Q0
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.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBmXAvkVFM
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!
