"A Supernatural Encounter… and a Supernatural Problem"
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB67XzrSBCu
"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.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbN0yXubiM
"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?"
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0S5qOwp4ss
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."
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsBEaXWKNJ
Lin Xiaoqiang looked into Nerd’s eager eyes and had a sinking feeling in his gut. Sure enough, the guy turned to him next.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RSXJ4EmWZ
"And what about you? You looked super intense just now. Wait—are you a psychic too?" His eyes sparkled with hope.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZC1e0bQFVn
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."
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAXssImy6N
The lie crumbled instantly.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbH5nmMhzL
"Liar! I heard you mention a 'Dog King' and 'world domination' just now!" Nerd squinted like a detective who had just cracked the case.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDazhBlKhp
Lin Xiaoqiang sighed in defeat.
"Fine… I admit it. I can hear animals’ thoughts."
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncyItzFw60
"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!"
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSaUWI4kV5Y
Wang Meili groaned and held her forehead.
"Keep your voice down! What if those dogs hear you?"
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsrOWvebB2
"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.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPiLBoD2dI
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.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjbeKQc1eT
And they were right.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGeNe3Xlav
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!"
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0l4R4LLRaq
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.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYZTNpq5FU
Even worse, Nerd came up with his own strategies to "help."
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkUSaIzcLl
"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.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8o424NQ9LX
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."
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGElx4Oiz3
The result? Total chaos.
Fights broke out among the dogs over the strange "strategic supplies," with loud barking and frantic tussling filling the air.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtnlPKvP9K
Lin Xiaoqiang, listening to the furious and bewildered dog thoughts around him, wanted to crawl into a hole.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8cDaUdjkw
"What the heck is up with that pink bone?! Is this some kind of insult to canine dignity?!"
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhUGUfQtBD
"CAT SOUNDS?! Is this a feline declaration of war?! Charge, brothers!"
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMfaaCbX2G
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.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNr2EDz3Je
"Look! He’s engaging with me! He must sense my brilliance!" Nerd cried, snapping photos with wild enthusiasm.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiggPWcdtI
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.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh84VM1usZw
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!
