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.

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.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIMYoZOq5T
“Hey! What are you sneaking around here for?”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGcMs99XVP
Startled, Lin Xiaoqiang turned around and saw Wang Meili, holding a very expensive-looking Persian cat and looking at him with deep suspicion.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIW4GvPN7v7
“I... I’m just observing the community’s ecological environment,”
Lin Xiaoqiang explained awkwardly.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YcePtJZOr
“Observing the ecological environment? You look more like you’re peeping at the grandmas sunbathing over there,”
Wang Meili bluntly teased.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqqll3FOtW
The corner of Lin Xiaoqiang’s mouth twitched. He decided to get straight to the point.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUgSMziTjS
“Um... Wang Meili, have you noticed that the stray dogs around here have been acting a little... off lately?”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡleb7XBSIwM
Wang Meili raised an eyebrow.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhoIfCW03u
“Off? Haven’t they always been noisy? Barking at night, running wild during the day, even eating the flowers in the garden.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSB8niRSL0d
“No, not that kind of off! I mean... they seem to be plotting something!”
Lin Xiaoqiang lowered his voice, speaking with a mysterious tone.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeoNIqFb6QE
Wang Meili snorted, then walked over to the pavilion and sat down with her Persian cat.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5ijbJKMxS
“Plotting? What could they possibly be plotting? How to snatch more bones?”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGCzGPdu1D
“No! They’re plotting... to rule humanity!”
Lin Xiaoqiang blurted out.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPzUnUVQII
Wang Meili’s hand slipped, nearly dropping the Persian cat from her arms. The pampered-looking cat let out a dissatisfied “meow.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFeZTctuui
“You... you said what? Rule humanity? Are you running a fever?”
Wang Meili looked at him like he was an alien.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUP5Q02GR0
“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.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWf5Zb9wkv0
Wang Meili was silent for a moment. Her expression shifted from doubt to something… stranger.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OOWLVTciY
“You can hear animals’ thoughts? Seriously?”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6xosTZ64F
Lin Xiaoqiang nodded helplessly.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZlZZ3UtDj
“Yes. And they even mock me for being single.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1kmDqAtOk
The corner of Wang Meili’s mouth twitched slightly, clearly trying to hold back laughter.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHb4KdzTaC
“Okay, let’s say you’re telling the truth… so what? Are we supposed to form some kind of ‘Anti-Canine Alliance?’”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5hEHA0Nd3
“I... I just think we should do something,”
Lin Xiaoqiang said earnestly.
“After all, we both have... um… ‘special abilities.’”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2yJdFKJY4
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.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCB6IXtp1wE
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.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZo11B1Db4k
And their first step—was to find that so-called legendary “Dog King.”
