"A Supernatural Encounter… and a Supernatural Problem"
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGjsJ0G0Vi
"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.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLtG0BL7WJ
"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?"
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bsdAYeNih
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."
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZJo0k0pmn
Lin Xiaoqiang looked into Nerd’s eager eyes and had a sinking feeling in his gut. Sure enough, the guy turned to him next.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3yHuRyKWB
"And what about you? You looked super intense just now. Wait—are you a psychic too?" His eyes sparkled with hope.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZc2ZndNEnn
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."
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FZ52E8o95
The lie crumbled instantly.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtm1WhoBJlY
"Liar! I heard you mention a 'Dog King' and 'world domination' just now!" Nerd squinted like a detective who had just cracked the case.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1jD5dSfZ0
Lin Xiaoqiang sighed in defeat.
"Fine… I admit it. I can hear animals’ thoughts."
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvaXCOxMVuW
"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!"
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7kBPCinMC
Wang Meili groaned and held her forehead.
"Keep your voice down! What if those dogs hear you?"
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0ZEfnsKY5
"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.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6rkEAYd7f
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.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VCtl1vcPi
And they were right.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetfMKEn2gI
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!"
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nrZa8i7zM
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.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwK4KdvdyNx
Even worse, Nerd came up with his own strategies to "help."
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0EzcGSDAws
"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.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfS8ITCj8k
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."
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwq6VtombRM
The result? Total chaos.
Fights broke out among the dogs over the strange "strategic supplies," with loud barking and frantic tussling filling the air.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFerGHqeYot
Lin Xiaoqiang, listening to the furious and bewildered dog thoughts around him, wanted to crawl into a hole.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjxDi4lym9
"What the heck is up with that pink bone?! Is this some kind of insult to canine dignity?!"
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMjsK9xInE
"CAT SOUNDS?! Is this a feline declaration of war?! Charge, brothers!"
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhrbEPfFqJ
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.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtl0IfgbOg
"Look! He’s engaging with me! He must sense my brilliance!" Nerd cried, snapping photos with wild enthusiasm.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8dFfhGh3y
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.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFU8ZcO3usF
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?
