"A Supernatural Encounter… and a Supernatural Problem"
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFG8wRh8XO
"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.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8oTqWmeOXm
"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?"

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."
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0o7F5FbAye
Lin Xiaoqiang looked into Nerd’s eager eyes and had a sinking feeling in his gut. Sure enough, the guy turned to him next.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbXlRH9r7R
"And what about you? You looked super intense just now. Wait—are you a psychic too?" His eyes sparkled with hope.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrCwl2v2Uv
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."
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsjBjwcI7F
The lie crumbled instantly.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1a7zE6mY6Z
"Liar! I heard you mention a 'Dog King' and 'world domination' just now!" Nerd squinted like a detective who had just cracked the case.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPTpdGxF7E
Lin Xiaoqiang sighed in defeat.
"Fine… I admit it. I can hear animals’ thoughts."
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRdrpH2nRz
"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!"
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Xa5omWMLb
Wang Meili groaned and held her forehead.
"Keep your voice down! What if those dogs hear you?"
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QuqtT5OZx
"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.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyx8eu60NaC
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.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSb1yDB4qzT
And they were right.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRep1RobzH
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!"
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSQ6P9rDaT
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.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6gz9Vlicj
Even worse, Nerd came up with his own strategies to "help."
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5eynQYUme
"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.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1iGnwdaOIC
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."
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTk2vcHsyiy
The result? Total chaos.
Fights broke out among the dogs over the strange "strategic supplies," with loud barking and frantic tussling filling the air.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASeu6Kn9QU
Lin Xiaoqiang, listening to the furious and bewildered dog thoughts around him, wanted to crawl into a hole.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPcIRRLp8X
"What the heck is up with that pink bone?! Is this some kind of insult to canine dignity?!"
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDDGv7lgbr
"CAT SOUNDS?! Is this a feline declaration of war?! Charge, brothers!"
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HpAa5jj0R
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.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFY8m82zivL
"Look! He’s engaging with me! He must sense my brilliance!" Nerd cried, snapping photos with wild enthusiasm.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1M5NHs4Mdb
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.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKooQPRmbu
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!
