"A Supernatural Encounter… and a Supernatural Problem"
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOeJcmp8uTo
"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.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKxiem2p2I
"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?"
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2noHRq1Uh
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."
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBelkbqzFS1
Lin Xiaoqiang looked into Nerd’s eager eyes and had a sinking feeling in his gut. Sure enough, the guy turned to him next.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81ObCOorGL
"And what about you? You looked super intense just now. Wait—are you a psychic too?" His eyes sparkled with hope.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2HipDUSoIO
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."
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOinzPM9Yc
The lie crumbled instantly.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpA0F31aFCP
"Liar! I heard you mention a 'Dog King' and 'world domination' just now!" Nerd squinted like a detective who had just cracked the case.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8MgSmhBsv
Lin Xiaoqiang sighed in defeat.
"Fine… I admit it. I can hear animals’ thoughts."
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZg5N8jSXn
"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!"
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6JF0A1sId
Wang Meili groaned and held her forehead.
"Keep your voice down! What if those dogs hear you?"
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDheG82S65Q
"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.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2Fhux7mrE
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.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzo9rF0cFbh
And they were right.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGQjnnFcN1
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!"
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XkaXZgd52
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.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKmcDhZRR0
Even worse, Nerd came up with his own strategies to "help."
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2G5tTaWfHy
"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.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqu2gSAXvw
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."
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyEBizr6QPR
The result? Total chaos.
Fights broke out among the dogs over the strange "strategic supplies," with loud barking and frantic tussling filling the air.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzm9Aje9cky
Lin Xiaoqiang, listening to the furious and bewildered dog thoughts around him, wanted to crawl into a hole.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Acy5O7rcV
"What the heck is up with that pink bone?! Is this some kind of insult to canine dignity?!"
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYikvpsfDU7
"CAT SOUNDS?! Is this a feline declaration of war?! Charge, brothers!"
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtqykhmThr
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.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9jtDjVY7j
"Look! He’s engaging with me! He must sense my brilliance!" Nerd cried, snapping photos with wild enthusiasm.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlco3ub9l3
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.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3646jCvZW
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!
