"A Supernatural Encounter… and a Supernatural Problem"
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCaJuCtRFdi
"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.
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4HoL1NKpQ
"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?"
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KmNNlooBP
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."
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtulsnGzmJx
Lin Xiaoqiang looked into Nerd’s eager eyes and had a sinking feeling in his gut. Sure enough, the guy turned to him next.
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcjdhIkhm1
"And what about you? You looked super intense just now. Wait—are you a psychic too?" His eyes sparkled with hope.

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."
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRMTeZVO45
The lie crumbled instantly.
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOgixCbCTV
"Liar! I heard you mention a 'Dog King' and 'world domination' just now!" Nerd squinted like a detective who had just cracked the case.
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RAyT31itq
Lin Xiaoqiang sighed in defeat.
"Fine… I admit it. I can hear animals’ thoughts."
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8KlpxNf2A
"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!"
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMALD2RcyQ
Wang Meili groaned and held her forehead.
"Keep your voice down! What if those dogs hear you?"
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWgnoYx8sS
"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.
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Iypi4VKmP
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.
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNL1WDUG6h
And they were right.
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkie7h9o5lh
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!"
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhfexvnrNs
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.
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8C4t4YeZW9
Even worse, Nerd came up with his own strategies to "help."
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SlbUGNFv9
"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.
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKz29svCSLF
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."
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPabqjV5Iuh
The result? Total chaos.
Fights broke out among the dogs over the strange "strategic supplies," with loud barking and frantic tussling filling the air.
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0gtEhb0Kt
Lin Xiaoqiang, listening to the furious and bewildered dog thoughts around him, wanted to crawl into a hole.
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGTmX39DPz
"What the heck is up with that pink bone?! Is this some kind of insult to canine dignity?!"
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNVxeJ3unM
"CAT SOUNDS?! Is this a feline declaration of war?! Charge, brothers!"
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YKn794Di6
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.
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxL26ntWZ6u
"Look! He’s engaging with me! He must sense my brilliance!" Nerd cried, snapping photos with wild enthusiasm.
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLl30YRZL1
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.
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4AMV9x78K
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!
