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.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXezGeYSc2
“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.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqx8wf7WXVl
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!
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxe4E9tXuLb
Just as he was trying to analyze the intel, a sudden voice interrupted his thoughts.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspK8KDhIu0
“Hey! What are you sneaking around here for?”
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysbsn89rzT
Startled, Lin Xiaoqiang turned around and saw Wang Meili, holding a very expensive-looking Persian cat and looking at him with deep suspicion.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuaSgDoHQkU
“I... I’m just observing the community’s ecological environment,”
Lin Xiaoqiang explained awkwardly.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1GE3Sgxjd
“Observing the ecological environment? You look more like you’re peeping at the grandmas sunbathing over there,”
Wang Meili bluntly teased.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTw6ujtNS5
The corner of Lin Xiaoqiang’s mouth twitched. He decided to get straight to the point.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUCL8C5tXd
“Um... Wang Meili, have you noticed that the stray dogs around here have been acting a little... off lately?”
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBsvJclOzB
Wang Meili raised an eyebrow.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSgGKG023tM
“Off? Haven’t they always been noisy? Barking at night, running wild during the day, even eating the flowers in the garden.”
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKDbxqFxCF
“No, not that kind of off! I mean... they seem to be plotting something!”
Lin Xiaoqiang lowered his voice, speaking with a mysterious tone.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFJORHXhhC
Wang Meili snorted, then walked over to the pavilion and sat down with her Persian cat.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQsQg45RGR
“Plotting? What could they possibly be plotting? How to snatch more bones?”
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZNYU1UGoO
“No! They’re plotting... to rule humanity!”
Lin Xiaoqiang blurted out.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAFygL1qGz
Wang Meili’s hand slipped, nearly dropping the Persian cat from her arms. The pampered-looking cat let out a dissatisfied “meow.”
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlgOJx2giI
“You... you said what? Rule humanity? Are you running a fever?”
Wang Meili looked at him like he was an alien.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFA6HWfcA5
“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.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyE0M8EmrP
Wang Meili was silent for a moment. Her expression shifted from doubt to something… stranger.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyQdSKfwG2
“You can hear animals’ thoughts? Seriously?”
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwMUoAgpHr
Lin Xiaoqiang nodded helplessly.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWwFrkeazF
“Yes. And they even mock me for being single.”
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kvyq2QBlf
The corner of Wang Meili’s mouth twitched slightly, clearly trying to hold back laughter.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ917vFtqRgG
“Okay, let’s say you’re telling the truth… so what? Are we supposed to form some kind of ‘Anti-Canine Alliance?’”
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiv8LF7a738
“I... I just think we should do something,”
Lin Xiaoqiang said earnestly.
“After all, we both have... um… ‘special abilities.’”
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kI7VzMpqx
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.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3rSGmYelD
“Alright, seeing as you’re being so serious… and besides, it might actually be fun.”
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjs8YnXUxnI
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.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJKO5imUzK
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.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVdh9doRtA
And their first step—was to find that so-called legendary “Dog King.”
