Faced with Auntie Li from the management committee’s “earnest expectations,” Lin Xiaoqiang really wanted to play dead.

After all, as the president of the so-called “Supernatural Research Club,” he was nothing more than a figurehead—there wasn’t even a proper clubroom, and the only member was himself. If he were to generously include those enthusiastic classmates who kept posting lost-cat notices on the club’s bulletin board, maybe—just maybe—he could barely count five people.

However, the peace of the community, and his sense of responsibility as a (barely qualifies as one) superpowered individual (with about one hair’s worth of responsibility), eventually pushed him to take action. At the very least, he could start by “investigating” the enemy situation.

So, on a sunny afternoon, Lin Xiaoqiang sneakily arrived at the community park. He perked up his ears, trying hard to pick up the thoughts of the nearby animals.

“Today’s sunshine feels great. Perfect time to think about how to make those two-legged creatures offer up snacks on their own.”
That was the inner voice of a Chihuahua lying under a bench.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjFqBYqhPI
“That servant in the blue clothes hid the bone yesterday. I’ll find a chance to ‘visit’ his home later.”
This came from another mixed-breed dog.

The more Lin Xiaoqiang listened, the more alarmed he became. These dogs not only had “revolutionary awareness,” but also clear divisions of labor and intelligence gathering! These weren’t just ordinary stray dogs—they were basically a group of furry… tacticians!

Just as he was trying to analyze the intel, a sudden voice interrupted his thoughts.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmblJe9X58
“Hey! What are you sneaking around here for?”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUdYnVElLF
Startled, Lin Xiaoqiang turned around and saw Wang Meili, holding a very expensive-looking Persian cat and looking at him with deep suspicion.

“I... I’m just observing the community’s ecological environment,”
Lin Xiaoqiang explained awkwardly.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHV0fFB8OxR
“Observing the ecological environment? You look more like you’re peeping at the grandmas sunbathing over there,”
Wang Meili bluntly teased.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAeOfWWWCQo
The corner of Lin Xiaoqiang’s mouth twitched. He decided to get straight to the point.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP61sf7evSM
“Um... Wang Meili, have you noticed that the stray dogs around here have been acting a little... off lately?”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvZK1tse0n
Wang Meili raised an eyebrow.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYaw6d5k8C
“Off? Haven’t they always been noisy? Barking at night, running wild during the day, even eating the flowers in the garden.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKRIjeqjky
“No, not that kind of off! I mean... they seem to be plotting something!”
Lin Xiaoqiang lowered his voice, speaking with a mysterious tone.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAQsOYYKNO
Wang Meili snorted, then walked over to the pavilion and sat down with her Persian cat.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3NcIuTP09
“Plotting? What could they possibly be plotting? How to snatch more bones?”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIHjA8NJ2W
“No! They’re plotting... to rule humanity!”
Lin Xiaoqiang blurted out.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwzhma0Wy2
Wang Meili’s hand slipped, nearly dropping the Persian cat from her arms. The pampered-looking cat let out a dissatisfied “meow.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRcyWKsYhL
“You... you said what? Rule humanity? Are you running a fever?”
Wang Meili looked at him like he was an alien.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtErhu5IPQ
“I’m not sick! I can hear their thoughts! They really are scheming! Their goal is to make humans lazier, so we’ll willingly serve them!”
Lin Xiaoqiang explained anxiously, afraid she wouldn’t believe him.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnOF3ufHlw
Wang Meili was silent for a moment. Her expression shifted from doubt to something… stranger.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Aik4CSIpd
“You can hear animals’ thoughts? Seriously?”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7nhtp1Db9
Lin Xiaoqiang nodded helplessly.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXmqgOjIvB
“Yes. And they even mock me for being single.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1RJyB4cVz
The corner of Wang Meili’s mouth twitched slightly, clearly trying to hold back laughter.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1h0JUFXWga
“Okay, let’s say you’re telling the truth… so what? Are we supposed to form some kind of ‘Anti-Canine Alliance?’”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhzMDEbs7a
“I... I just think we should do something,”
Lin Xiaoqiang said earnestly.
“After all, we both have... um… ‘special abilities.’”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtf1i6a5Mj
Wang Meili gave him a sidelong glance, then looked at the Persian cat in her arms, who was currently giving a judgmental look at a mutt chasing its own tail. She suddenly let out a sigh.

“Alright, seeing as you’re being so serious… and besides, it might actually be fun.”

And so, on a sunny afternoon, in a park filled with the smell of dog poop, the Community College Supernatural Research Club welcomed its second (and only other) member.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ708TAmLAbz
A “Save Humanity Grand Operation” formed by a broke, good-for-nothing club president and a part-time model with pink-colored superpowers quietly began.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfmTOJ4H09
And their first step—was to find that so-called legendary “Dog King.”
