Witch, Fireball and the Evil God of Steam-Chapter 696 - 85: Cat Alliance

"The principle of intelligent recommendation is that when you open a video, big data will recommend similar videos to you based on the video content, which is why these videos appear on the homepage."

Ethan thought he could still salvage the situation.

First step, use many terms that Lindong and Shadow hadn't heard of to muddle the waters, and when they ask questions, smoothly explain the concept of big data to them, subtly shifting the blame to the unscrupulous intelligent push data during the process.

"But the content in the favorites folder is something you need to add yourself."

Unfortunately, his tactics quickly ended in failure, as Lindong's gaze was sharp.

She was merely unfamiliar with electronic devices, but understanding these was much simpler than complex elemental spell casting.

Besides, she knew Ethan too well, and such evasive tactics were completely ineffective on her.

Thanks to Little Dark's timely report, otherwise she might have found it hard to discover that Ethan still had so many "treasures" saved in his favorites folder, making Lindong change her opinion of Shadow quite a bit.

"Don't think you can get away with this!"

The black cat also got on the table, pressing the tablet with its paw, looking ready to call for accountability.

For god's sake, weren't these two cats supposed to be on opposing camps!

Plus, this Shadow Arrow's mind-reading skill made Lindong even more difficult to handle!

Ethan grumbled inwardly, caught between a rock and a hard place.

"Swearing won't help you!"

The black cat transformed into a judge, counting Ethan's sins, "A total of 72 videos, 42 related to feet... this fully indicates that you have a foot fetish!"

This term was something she picked up from the video titles, and faced with the absolute number of 42, the few funny little videos and life-hack clips couldn't form any significant trend.

Shadow never expected that after not seeing Ethan for a long time, he had developed such a strange hobby, but she immediately noticed the odd atmosphere in the room. When she accused Ethan of having a foot fetish, Lindong did not show much surprise, with a face of already anticipated it.

"You... knew he had this hobby?"

"Yes."

The clean and crisp answer made Ethan and Shadow widen their eyes at the same time. Seeing this, Lindong's eyelids twitched heavily a few times. Little Dark could be let off, but she didn't understand why Ethan looked so shocked; every time Ethan always used the poor excuse of "worrying that she would hurt her feet walking barefoot on stones", which in her view was no different from Rowena constantly emphasizing her rich romance experience.

Probably only they themselves thought such reasons could convince others.

"Having a foot fetish isn't the problem, the problem is you need to delete these videos."

Lindong crossed her arms, assessing, "This box can only be watched, can't be touched or felt, what's the point?"

"Delete, delete them immediately!"

Ethan promptly operated in front of the two, "All I can say is that back then, I was too young."

He felt that was understandable.

After all, while he was working back then, how could he have predicted that he would find a girlfriend in the future with white hair, red eyes, a curvaceous figure, and long legs? If someone had told him such a thing, he would most likely classify them as a scammer.

"Let's not make this a habit."

Lindong also decided to let the matter rest.

"You're forgiving him just like that?"

The black cat on the table seemed dissatisfied, its heterochromatic eyes still fixed intently on the videos on the tablet.

"What else?"

"Of course, find every one of them, then eliminate them."

Boundless darkness spread throughout the bedroom, even the windows were covered in shadows, blocking out the mid-summer sunlight from the other side; the black cat's body lightly trembled as if contemplating the scenes during the execution.

"Those things won't happen."

After deleting all the evidence, Ethan breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately grasped the black cat's front paw, lifting her from the table, "This is a society governed by law, and wanton killing is absolutely prohibited."

Even in a dream, he didn't want Shadow Arrow creating random murder sprees; this was the environment he aspired to live in, yet even after Julius's downfall, the empire still had a long way to reach modern civilization. In cities other than the Imperial Capital, dark creatures and various crime incidents were still rampant; missing cases in border cities continued to be a significant issue.

"Especially you, you're forbidden to attack anyone here, and you're definitely not allowed to turn them into ghouls!"

"Meow~"

The black cat squinted its eyes, mewling sweetly in a manner that gave him goosebumps. Ethan thought "cuteness to pass through tough situations" might be an innate skill of the cat clan.

He straightened his face, "Acting cute won't work, repeat what I just said."

The black cat immediately drooped its head, putting on a sulky face, "Forbidden to attack anyone, not allowed to turn them into ghouls."

"Very good."

Only then did Ethan satisfactorily place the black cat back on the table. Following the original plan, he needed to take Lindong to the clothing store downstairs to buy a suitable outfit; he still couldn't determine why he appeared in the dreamscape, nor why he didn't wake up immediately after realizing it was a dream like others do, but Ethan always had a premonition that this wouldn't be the last time he appeared here.

From a temporal dimension, it was the days before he was going to the interview at Pioneer Company.

The right time and place gave him a chance to unearth what happened in those missing memories of his.
