"A Supernatural Encounter… and a Supernatural Problem"
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwngXCBgM5v
"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.
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1l4FARMmo
"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?"
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbR4g4rObyV
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."
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfPPhd14xG
Lin Xiaoqiang looked into Nerd’s eager eyes and had a sinking feeling in his gut. Sure enough, the guy turned to him next.
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlim5BUW0Wf
"And what about you? You looked super intense just now. Wait—are you a psychic too?" His eyes sparkled with hope.
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQzAq8hOpW
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."
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfbxoqGXeQ
The lie crumbled instantly.
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiP17aQTeVa
"Liar! I heard you mention a 'Dog King' and 'world domination' just now!" Nerd squinted like a detective who had just cracked the case.
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuWSKUpdux
Lin Xiaoqiang sighed in defeat.
"Fine… I admit it. I can hear animals’ thoughts."
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOqXXJ1SIG
"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!"
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtw8KWch8UM
Wang Meili groaned and held her forehead.
"Keep your voice down! What if those dogs hear you?"
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4l7sVy5cI6
"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.
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOzmPT1dBO
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.
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntwqMvH8Ot
And they were right.
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorHVydCcnV
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!"
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5mapMOPBk
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.
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0LVUJrwhda
Even worse, Nerd came up with his own strategies to "help."
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73fd6847bu
"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.
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYU1f9MJ2B
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."
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquXaSOhLL6
The result? Total chaos.
Fights broke out among the dogs over the strange "strategic supplies," with loud barking and frantic tussling filling the air.
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVxNhU3w5i
Lin Xiaoqiang, listening to the furious and bewildered dog thoughts around him, wanted to crawl into a hole.
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGEpvJpSSV
"What the heck is up with that pink bone?! Is this some kind of insult to canine dignity?!"
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjQpxkD4e2
"CAT SOUNDS?! Is this a feline declaration of war?! Charge, brothers!"
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffx23Q5afs
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.
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTanvrb3ikb
"Look! He’s engaging with me! He must sense my brilliance!" Nerd cried, snapping photos with wild enthusiasm.
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSB518y4fZB
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.
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIYemYJRCL
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!
