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.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMpefOEOLQ
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.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7YcpW9RTor
“Hey! What are you sneaking around here for?”
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7Bl0sLWWM
Startled, Lin Xiaoqiang turned around and saw Wang Meili, holding a very expensive-looking Persian cat and looking at him with deep suspicion.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmI1GgBOsF5
“I... I’m just observing the community’s ecological environment,”
Lin Xiaoqiang explained awkwardly.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmEhUlvbRp
“Observing the ecological environment? You look more like you’re peeping at the grandmas sunbathing over there,”
Wang Meili bluntly teased.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAuUEn717qG
The corner of Lin Xiaoqiang’s mouth twitched. He decided to get straight to the point.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAFM2mwYiE
“Um... Wang Meili, have you noticed that the stray dogs around here have been acting a little... off lately?”
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvA9Evo207
Wang Meili raised an eyebrow.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobhb5pNUvO
“Off? Haven’t they always been noisy? Barking at night, running wild during the day, even eating the flowers in the garden.”
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡraoeikh2P2
“No, not that kind of off! I mean... they seem to be plotting something!”
Lin Xiaoqiang lowered his voice, speaking with a mysterious tone.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWNj2qUw0N
Wang Meili snorted, then walked over to the pavilion and sat down with her Persian cat.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKmMHbwCXj
“Plotting? What could they possibly be plotting? How to snatch more bones?”
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarIgegY723
“No! They’re plotting... to rule humanity!”
Lin Xiaoqiang blurted out.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43m6hJtKow
Wang Meili’s hand slipped, nearly dropping the Persian cat from her arms. The pampered-looking cat let out a dissatisfied “meow.”
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc96MsAA1CZ
“You... you said what? Rule humanity? Are you running a fever?”
Wang Meili looked at him like he was an alien.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPhdOveOg7
“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.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mHtZUTmo0
Wang Meili was silent for a moment. Her expression shifted from doubt to something… stranger.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gherMo2JF
“You can hear animals’ thoughts? Seriously?”
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKjmYlPynt
Lin Xiaoqiang nodded helplessly.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvRYSn6DM3
“Yes. And they even mock me for being single.”
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUmud99Scy
The corner of Wang Meili’s mouth twitched slightly, clearly trying to hold back laughter.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtknHhh87cM
“Okay, let’s say you’re telling the truth… so what? Are we supposed to form some kind of ‘Anti-Canine Alliance?’”
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡos9nIeciZ6
“I... I just think we should do something,”
Lin Xiaoqiang said earnestly.
“After all, we both have... um… ‘special abilities.’”
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWc8uonPbvk
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.”
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MCzXeoO8J
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.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNBtFE1c7K
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.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpPgdQlUQF
And their first step—was to find that so-called legendary “Dog King.”
