"A Supernatural Encounter… and a Supernatural Problem"
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8TIyAWTt0
"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.
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpaCGS9DL5Q
"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?"
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGrYnZG9RC
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."
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NpPx8zRd1
Lin Xiaoqiang looked into Nerd’s eager eyes and had a sinking feeling in his gut. Sure enough, the guy turned to him next.
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTCDRKY8ay
"And what about you? You looked super intense just now. Wait—are you a psychic too?" His eyes sparkled with hope.

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."
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvIi6twT5l
The lie crumbled instantly.
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIa5NxOODW5
"Liar! I heard you mention a 'Dog King' and 'world domination' just now!" Nerd squinted like a detective who had just cracked the case.
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqy6cqg1At
Lin Xiaoqiang sighed in defeat.
"Fine… I admit it. I can hear animals’ thoughts."
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9irqxiHbiz
"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!"
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqoNlQd54k
Wang Meili groaned and held her forehead.
"Keep your voice down! What if those dogs hear you?"
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJldeA7HpF
"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.
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23MYRIVmOQ
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.
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYW9Y50zH9
And they were right.
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDw83V2Zkq
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!"
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIlBdQ4Brv
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.
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPqp1UyZ8Z
Even worse, Nerd came up with his own strategies to "help."
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1XTSeatcp
"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.
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TJhMO6a1Z
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."
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNt2xa8fMK
The result? Total chaos.
Fights broke out among the dogs over the strange "strategic supplies," with loud barking and frantic tussling filling the air.
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4K0vUQmDY
Lin Xiaoqiang, listening to the furious and bewildered dog thoughts around him, wanted to crawl into a hole.
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpwmI7kpCr
"What the heck is up with that pink bone?! Is this some kind of insult to canine dignity?!"
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QjMbO4G8Q
"CAT SOUNDS?! Is this a feline declaration of war?! Charge, brothers!"
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09yhqhNe23
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.
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELBs8Seqgd
"Look! He’s engaging with me! He must sense my brilliance!" Nerd cried, snapping photos with wild enthusiasm.
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRncIXhjpZH
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.
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfsi64d4PW
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!
