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.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAfk0Twmuz
“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.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9R5r0VYLdi
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!
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz91DVG7887
Just as he was trying to analyze the intel, a sudden voice interrupted his thoughts.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBlbIDV4x8
“Hey! What are you sneaking around here for?”
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyW9AAM1gCy
Startled, Lin Xiaoqiang turned around and saw Wang Meili, holding a very expensive-looking Persian cat and looking at him with deep suspicion.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38a2SiP6Bw
“I... I’m just observing the community’s ecological environment,”
Lin Xiaoqiang explained awkwardly.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyk0U9uuBsz
“Observing the ecological environment? You look more like you’re peeping at the grandmas sunbathing over there,”
Wang Meili bluntly teased.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0RuMHnevj
The corner of Lin Xiaoqiang’s mouth twitched. He decided to get straight to the point.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOMSQv9HAd
“Um... Wang Meili, have you noticed that the stray dogs around here have been acting a little... off lately?”
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqc276PvtA
Wang Meili raised an eyebrow.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwyGiQiWB6
“Off? Haven’t they always been noisy? Barking at night, running wild during the day, even eating the flowers in the garden.”
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrrayHPFqM
“No, not that kind of off! I mean... they seem to be plotting something!”
Lin Xiaoqiang lowered his voice, speaking with a mysterious tone.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkpZcC4unU
Wang Meili snorted, then walked over to the pavilion and sat down with her Persian cat.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFw6Lozwi1
“Plotting? What could they possibly be plotting? How to snatch more bones?”
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmH48E2qCCT
“No! They’re plotting... to rule humanity!”
Lin Xiaoqiang blurted out.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JTzQRRDvp
Wang Meili’s hand slipped, nearly dropping the Persian cat from her arms. The pampered-looking cat let out a dissatisfied “meow.”
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDHNNJhmHf
“You... you said what? Rule humanity? Are you running a fever?”
Wang Meili looked at him like he was an alien.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgpteeKnhz
“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.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2I2EKtG6P
Wang Meili was silent for a moment. Her expression shifted from doubt to something… stranger.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84h7DxzoMD
“You can hear animals’ thoughts? Seriously?”
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLUszolwVM
Lin Xiaoqiang nodded helplessly.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifCtWDCDei
“Yes. And they even mock me for being single.”
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2SkxE5tMV
The corner of Wang Meili’s mouth twitched slightly, clearly trying to hold back laughter.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtB9W3W3dn
“Okay, let’s say you’re telling the truth… so what? Are we supposed to form some kind of ‘Anti-Canine Alliance?’”
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDyThJRWC7
“I... I just think we should do something,”
Lin Xiaoqiang said earnestly.
“After all, we both have... um… ‘special abilities.’”
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqqi3Exx4w
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.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpui9UCkXS
“Alright, seeing as you’re being so serious… and besides, it might actually be fun.”
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDha6Qz2Gw
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.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcd1cUlm2E
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.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa53ZGGszjD
And their first step—was to find that so-called legendary “Dog King.”
