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.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEa8sHHN6Fx
“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.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQajNIoozSj
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!
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivhKzr3bAl
Just as he was trying to analyze the intel, a sudden voice interrupted his thoughts.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURUA5aAtEZ
“Hey! What are you sneaking around here for?”
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShsa6Y6ZaH
Startled, Lin Xiaoqiang turned around and saw Wang Meili, holding a very expensive-looking Persian cat and looking at him with deep suspicion.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdItEXWTTT
“I... I’m just observing the community’s ecological environment,”
Lin Xiaoqiang explained awkwardly.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUwYwHhvwS
“Observing the ecological environment? You look more like you’re peeping at the grandmas sunbathing over there,”
Wang Meili bluntly teased.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagTYTcpJkb
The corner of Lin Xiaoqiang’s mouth twitched. He decided to get straight to the point.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOm50Mhzv3
“Um... Wang Meili, have you noticed that the stray dogs around here have been acting a little... off lately?”
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3t9L2AiDuH
Wang Meili raised an eyebrow.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCoGvcWcWA
“Off? Haven’t they always been noisy? Barking at night, running wild during the day, even eating the flowers in the garden.”
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMTwGrCphp
“No, not that kind of off! I mean... they seem to be plotting something!”
Lin Xiaoqiang lowered his voice, speaking with a mysterious tone.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rJed5Cg7B
Wang Meili snorted, then walked over to the pavilion and sat down with her Persian cat.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzsBWuxgOd
“Plotting? What could they possibly be plotting? How to snatch more bones?”
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlucHfUwAWO
“No! They’re plotting... to rule humanity!”
Lin Xiaoqiang blurted out.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2SSjRzvTi
Wang Meili’s hand slipped, nearly dropping the Persian cat from her arms. The pampered-looking cat let out a dissatisfied “meow.”
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXU6Er3inqg
“You... you said what? Rule humanity? Are you running a fever?”
Wang Meili looked at him like he was an alien.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rrnjcEwib
“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.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lo7mUyCCJ
Wang Meili was silent for a moment. Her expression shifted from doubt to something… stranger.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyMrgTjymE
“You can hear animals’ thoughts? Seriously?”
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxxnPyh52M
Lin Xiaoqiang nodded helplessly.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KR86jrFue
“Yes. And they even mock me for being single.”
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvB11rFOhkE
The corner of Wang Meili’s mouth twitched slightly, clearly trying to hold back laughter.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7ZRC5Za5b
“Okay, let’s say you’re telling the truth… so what? Are we supposed to form some kind of ‘Anti-Canine Alliance?’”
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3dTEPXY6n
“I... I just think we should do something,”
Lin Xiaoqiang said earnestly.
“After all, we both have... um… ‘special abilities.’”
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafCnQL9Tw0
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.”
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzN7QaRcyk
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.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDoj4ZBuUu
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.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlXqhYezbs
And their first step—was to find that so-called legendary “Dog King.”
