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.

“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.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsM57LrBHx
“Hey! What are you sneaking around here for?”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCXj4YLbN8
Startled, Lin Xiaoqiang turned around and saw Wang Meili, holding a very expensive-looking Persian cat and looking at him with deep suspicion.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ETzXsVyDd
“I... I’m just observing the community’s ecological environment,”
Lin Xiaoqiang explained awkwardly.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3KR0XFLJe
“Observing the ecological environment? You look more like you’re peeping at the grandmas sunbathing over there,”
Wang Meili bluntly teased.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1jjUoOCYi
The corner of Lin Xiaoqiang’s mouth twitched. He decided to get straight to the point.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Sc2UEkKQJ
“Um... Wang Meili, have you noticed that the stray dogs around here have been acting a little... off lately?”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3AiMmavWt5
Wang Meili raised an eyebrow.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzVmHUIXpf
“Off? Haven’t they always been noisy? Barking at night, running wild during the day, even eating the flowers in the garden.”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqALquv1JdZ
“No, not that kind of off! I mean... they seem to be plotting something!”
Lin Xiaoqiang lowered his voice, speaking with a mysterious tone.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQoGJkPDkw
Wang Meili snorted, then walked over to the pavilion and sat down with her Persian cat.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifkMUtulWX
“Plotting? What could they possibly be plotting? How to snatch more bones?”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHXoiZEmbC
“No! They’re plotting... to rule humanity!”
Lin Xiaoqiang blurted out.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQlmaFE95g
Wang Meili’s hand slipped, nearly dropping the Persian cat from her arms. The pampered-looking cat let out a dissatisfied “meow.”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKz5bOxM20
“You... you said what? Rule humanity? Are you running a fever?”
Wang Meili looked at him like he was an alien.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0ATRVImW3
“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.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SLsp7P43K
Wang Meili was silent for a moment. Her expression shifted from doubt to something… stranger.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyLCjYyUiM
“You can hear animals’ thoughts? Seriously?”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOuw5qU4kXH
Lin Xiaoqiang nodded helplessly.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqICKQlpJ5
“Yes. And they even mock me for being single.”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJpyjRnPBs
The corner of Wang Meili’s mouth twitched slightly, clearly trying to hold back laughter.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tKJslBM7N
“Okay, let’s say you’re telling the truth… so what? Are we supposed to form some kind of ‘Anti-Canine Alliance?’”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGbVcdZcMN
“I... I just think we should do something,”
Lin Xiaoqiang said earnestly.
“After all, we both have... um… ‘special abilities.’”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡab6EKb47Us
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.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhyLQJzawx
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.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVM7q5xoQW
And their first step—was to find that so-called legendary “Dog King.”
