"A Supernatural Encounter… and a Supernatural Problem"
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Xo68N1JjX
"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.
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlfICzbH51
"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?"
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rMFqNpNXG
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."
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlJlxzNHUo
Lin Xiaoqiang looked into Nerd’s eager eyes and had a sinking feeling in his gut. Sure enough, the guy turned to him next.
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcrZyVfvzR
"And what about you? You looked super intense just now. Wait—are you a psychic too?" His eyes sparkled with hope.
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZjeey4hWo
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."
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwk6k1nBzf
The lie crumbled instantly.
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNOVIvwS6L
"Liar! I heard you mention a 'Dog King' and 'world domination' just now!" Nerd squinted like a detective who had just cracked the case.
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPeKZJ6FnZh
Lin Xiaoqiang sighed in defeat.
"Fine… I admit it. I can hear animals’ thoughts."
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWPKuIzkee
"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!"
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIPg8IrvoZ
Wang Meili groaned and held her forehead.
"Keep your voice down! What if those dogs hear you?"
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdeAqhfUCh6
"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.
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJX6c1fCQZ3
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.
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRyiw41m4L
And they were right.
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoibJrJktZd
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!"
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8ibZj0d7j
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.
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8l7Q79rlS
Even worse, Nerd came up with his own strategies to "help."
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8el87mYB1y
"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.
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHicikwzzD1
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."
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9gjDDXHLB
The result? Total chaos.
Fights broke out among the dogs over the strange "strategic supplies," with loud barking and frantic tussling filling the air.
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMBXik05mT
Lin Xiaoqiang, listening to the furious and bewildered dog thoughts around him, wanted to crawl into a hole.
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡreModqW6uU
"What the heck is up with that pink bone?! Is this some kind of insult to canine dignity?!"
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6pcc6aEox
"CAT SOUNDS?! Is this a feline declaration of war?! Charge, brothers!"
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDri7dVFrw
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.
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPyV3hc0BVf
"Look! He’s engaging with me! He must sense my brilliance!" Nerd cried, snapping photos with wild enthusiasm.
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHsYyhEGvd
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.
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzOetPXMCQ
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!
