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.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkeVPFaQhAs
“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!
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwiUCLG2Fus
Just as he was trying to analyze the intel, a sudden voice interrupted his thoughts.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxgmCqmqrj
“Hey! What are you sneaking around here for?”
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5QSyCXkn90
Startled, Lin Xiaoqiang turned around and saw Wang Meili, holding a very expensive-looking Persian cat and looking at him with deep suspicion.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYT7M9TAmF
“I... I’m just observing the community’s ecological environment,”
Lin Xiaoqiang explained awkwardly.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8JRtyhWLd
“Observing the ecological environment? You look more like you’re peeping at the grandmas sunbathing over there,”
Wang Meili bluntly teased.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjuWd0tyal
The corner of Lin Xiaoqiang’s mouth twitched. He decided to get straight to the point.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpUPyidD7H
“Um... Wang Meili, have you noticed that the stray dogs around here have been acting a little... off lately?”
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5ztux8UUH
Wang Meili raised an eyebrow.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95IKIzfxN0
“Off? Haven’t they always been noisy? Barking at night, running wild during the day, even eating the flowers in the garden.”
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1d1xOSmn9
“No, not that kind of off! I mean... they seem to be plotting something!”
Lin Xiaoqiang lowered his voice, speaking with a mysterious tone.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoN0Kd8ooQl
Wang Meili snorted, then walked over to the pavilion and sat down with her Persian cat.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIdiYNfja3
“Plotting? What could they possibly be plotting? How to snatch more bones?”
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8o2Vf3rTSA
“No! They’re plotting... to rule humanity!”
Lin Xiaoqiang blurted out.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFOvHTcb9n
Wang Meili’s hand slipped, nearly dropping the Persian cat from her arms. The pampered-looking cat let out a dissatisfied “meow.”
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgV6bACryjc
“You... you said what? Rule humanity? Are you running a fever?”
Wang Meili looked at him like he was an alien.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lGxLXAwlk
“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.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdZVOdrz8R
Wang Meili was silent for a moment. Her expression shifted from doubt to something… stranger.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0jvGJDjHb
“You can hear animals’ thoughts? Seriously?”
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ihTp91Ubr
Lin Xiaoqiang nodded helplessly.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztqjckat4s
“Yes. And they even mock me for being single.”
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡboc2UXMCRg
The corner of Wang Meili’s mouth twitched slightly, clearly trying to hold back laughter.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkCGUgMLAi
“Okay, let’s say you’re telling the truth… so what? Are we supposed to form some kind of ‘Anti-Canine Alliance?’”
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8drpHn7mU5
“I... I just think we should do something,”
Lin Xiaoqiang said earnestly.
“After all, we both have... um… ‘special abilities.’”
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDolYvVvPYC
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.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2sxM02Z0U
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.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbsTRiNlSJ
And their first step—was to find that so-called legendary “Dog King.”
