"A Supernatural Encounter… and a Supernatural Problem"

"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.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFRt4MEhsV
"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?"
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzi0gaMcEOH
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."
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZFttDdd6d
Lin Xiaoqiang looked into Nerd’s eager eyes and had a sinking feeling in his gut. Sure enough, the guy turned to him next.

"And what about you? You looked super intense just now. Wait—are you a psychic too?" His eyes sparkled with hope.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4VnU4HRfI
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."
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGncyP8OG7k
The lie crumbled instantly.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCM2LIpYlcf
"Liar! I heard you mention a 'Dog King' and 'world domination' just now!" Nerd squinted like a detective who had just cracked the case.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFL0rY7Vkt2
Lin Xiaoqiang sighed in defeat.
"Fine… I admit it. I can hear animals’ thoughts."
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6vfM2zQ2X
"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!"
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMSWEFTuns
Wang Meili groaned and held her forehead.
"Keep your voice down! What if those dogs hear you?"
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUs2FsNlfUt
"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.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFfVhBh0wX
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.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqEQUPSbCH
And they were right.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68Q1QpjV0N
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!"
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFm0TKOqg0U
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.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPytwsZX8B
Even worse, Nerd came up with his own strategies to "help."
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZXFwhzNdT
"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.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrJ5MdJqlo
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."
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdzYFkb0z9
The result? Total chaos.
Fights broke out among the dogs over the strange "strategic supplies," with loud barking and frantic tussling filling the air.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Btk0YzMQn
Lin Xiaoqiang, listening to the furious and bewildered dog thoughts around him, wanted to crawl into a hole.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡga9vn5Yrdg
"What the heck is up with that pink bone?! Is this some kind of insult to canine dignity?!"
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOypfhOWAX
"CAT SOUNDS?! Is this a feline declaration of war?! Charge, brothers!"
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbdqjaKh1L
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.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6R3EJkhu7r
"Look! He’s engaging with me! He must sense my brilliance!" Nerd cried, snapping photos with wild enthusiasm.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwiiKl6ONk
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.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmITceFxUeb
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!
