"A Supernatural Encounter… and a Supernatural Problem"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5Wi3sOBRu
"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.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRq9Zqy8YVt
"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?"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukGEYPt5ud
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."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oV28RoUk3
Lin Xiaoqiang looked into Nerd’s eager eyes and had a sinking feeling in his gut. Sure enough, the guy turned to him next.

"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."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIupR2hn3Z
The lie crumbled instantly.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbuhsQL0sGO
"Liar! I heard you mention a 'Dog King' and 'world domination' just now!" Nerd squinted like a detective who had just cracked the case.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIM1req9yfF
Lin Xiaoqiang sighed in defeat.
"Fine… I admit it. I can hear animals’ thoughts."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZBMUK275D
"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!"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLM4Z1ulBvE
Wang Meili groaned and held her forehead.
"Keep your voice down! What if those dogs hear you?"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYIewXxVeG
"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.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHrJtwQp2Y
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.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4RbyY8hdn
And they were right.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXk73ZZtve
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!"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1A7hocJFv
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.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82t6T5yzD9
Even worse, Nerd came up with his own strategies to "help."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9gLNBlUIv
"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.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrMLv2xqlJ
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."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabX7U9uTAA
The result? Total chaos.
Fights broke out among the dogs over the strange "strategic supplies," with loud barking and frantic tussling filling the air.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkIpVJvwUd
Lin Xiaoqiang, listening to the furious and bewildered dog thoughts around him, wanted to crawl into a hole.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7iMzbKfUHD
"What the heck is up with that pink bone?! Is this some kind of insult to canine dignity?!"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkLNe9ADv6
"CAT SOUNDS?! Is this a feline declaration of war?! Charge, brothers!"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwsfBMvRkz
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.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWFgCuZUdV
"Look! He’s engaging with me! He must sense my brilliance!" Nerd cried, snapping photos with wild enthusiasm.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8XtQID8UC
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.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEl08J42IbF
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?
