However, regardless of whether Aalto's words were intentional or not, saying that at this moment… obviously invited public outrage.
Especially for the people of Jinzhou, it sounded like he was implying that their Magistrate and the Rover were incompatible, perhaps even suggesting they weren't a good match.
How could this be allowed? Even an uncle could endure it, but an aunt couldn't.

Jinzhou Resident: "Who the hell are you? To dare say something like that… you'd better not let us run into you in Jinzhou. ⦍AngryJinhsi.jpeg⦎"
Jinzhou Resident: "I know him… that guy is right here in Jinzhou City, with a little pink-haired girl by his side."
Jinzhou Resident: "Where… where… saw him, don't let that guy escape, beat him to death. ⦍FierceJinhsi.jpeg⦎"
Chat Group Crowd: "Go. Go. Beat that jerk to death. From today on… we are the Jinhsi-Rover forever support group. ⦍ShoutingJinhsi.jpeg⦎"
Encore: "Aalto, you've been discovered, let's run away. "
Aalto: "Everyone stop chasing, stop chasing… I really didn't mean it that way. (Boss, I was already terrified the moment you appeared in the chat group. Why did you make me say something like that?)"
.....
" In Between "
As Aalto complained to himself up to this point, his eyes suddenly froze… a possibility he found unbelievable arose in his heart.
However, no matter how unbelievable, when placed in front of the facts… it seemed to become reasonable.
Did my own boss also fall for the Rover? Didn't they say my boss was a machine without emotions?
"Jinhsi-Rover forever, Rover, you won't abandon us, will you?"
On the other side, with the Rover, after encountering Chixia's teasing gaze… he shook his head, speechless.
"If your skin is itching, you can just tell me."
As the Rover said this, he tapped Chixia on the head twice lightly. Not only did she not feel pain, but her face was filled with joy.
Yangyang was also smiling foolishly on the side, though Baizhi was a bit curious about the logic of their interaction.

[ Meanwhile, Jinhsi in the video also changed the subject.
Jinhsi: "There were indeed unexpected troubles before, and I had to leave a token in my haste. I apologize for the neglect, honored guest."
Rover: "Was this incident related to the Fractsidus, or the Sentinel?"
Jinhsi: "…The Sentinel of Jinzhou is not in Jinzhou right now."
After the young girl finished speaking, she turned around with a worried look… casting her gaze toward the moonlight in the distance.
The Rover also saw the worry on the young girl's face and followed, asking curiously…
Rover: "Isn't it said that the Sentinel cannot leave their territory?"
Jinhsi: "Yes, the Sentinel is the guide and guardian of civilization, and also represents civilization itself."
Jinhsi: "If the Sentinel is not in their position, there must be turmoil. This matter is of great significance, and I hope the Rover can keep it confidential."
Jinhsi: "The Fractsidus has trapped the Sentinel of Jinzhou, 'Jue'. I have been investigating and searching with all my might, which is why I could not meet with you earlier." ]

〜Exposure Chat Group〜
Jinzhou Resident: "What? The Fractsidus trapped Lord Sentinel? How is this possible… No, damn the Fractsidus. ⦍AngryJinhsi.jpeg⦎"
Cantarella: "The Fractsidus actually has such means?"
Phoebe: "Ah? Is it the same Sentinel of Jinzhou as the Imperator? How could this be?"
Chat Group Crowd: "This seems a bit exaggerated… The Sentinel is a god. Is the Fractsidus really that strong?"
Phrolova: "… (As for the current Jue, the Fractsidus can't touch it at all.) ⦍PoutsJinhsi.jpeg⦎"
Jinhsi: "Everyone, please stay calm. Reality has changed, it's not what happened in the video… Currently, Lord Sentinel is in seclusion."
Jinhsi: "The day of their emergence will be the time of their return in full glory.
Jinzhou Resident: "That's right, with Lord Sentinel's great display of power before, how could they be trapped by the Fractsidus guys. ⦍NodsJinhsi.jpeg⦎"
.....
[ After hearing Jinhsi's explanation, the Rover asked about his own doubts.
Rover: "I heard you resonate with the Sentinel?"
Jinhsi: "Yes, therefore, I have a certain degree of empathy with Jue. Their memories… feelings and situation will be reflected in me, although not very clearly."
Rover: "Then have you found them now?"
Jinhsi: "No. I can feel that Jue's situation is dangerous, and through these days of investigation, I have already learned who is orchestrating all of this."
Rover: "Is it Scar?"
Jinhsi: "Precisely."
Jinhsi: "The Fractsidus plans to advance another Lament and cause disasters worldwide."
Jinhsi: "And the Overseer, Scar, has stepped onto this land of Jinzhou for three purposes."
Jinhsi: "To follow and test you, to recruit you to join them, to take away the Sentinel Jue, and to guide the awakening of the Threnodian."
Rover: "Why would they want to recruit me?"
Jinhsi: "I think they have also learned of your uniqueness through some means, very likely through Jue."
Jinhsi: "And your joining would undoubtedly strengthen their forces."
Jinhsi: "If you refuse to join the Fractsidus, they may not allow such a variable as you to affect their plans. Your safety will be threatened."
Hearing this, the Rover crossed his arms with a touch of stubbornness. While slightly speechless, his face was full of confidence.
Rover: "…In my opinion, I am very strong."
Jinhsi: "Hm. I believe you. I actually have a way to catch Scar now."
Jinhsi: "As long as he is under our control, the Fractsidus shouldn't interfere with you in the short term."
Jinhsi: "If you are willing to assist, I will ensure your safety during the operation."
Rover: "Okay, I'll cooperate with you."
Jinhsi: "Thank you for your trust, Rover."
Jinhsi: "However, it seems that during this time, you have learned a lot of information through the tokens."
Hearing Jinhsi say this, the Rover roughly recounted the information of each token. ]
[ .....]
"Good grief, so I was supposed to know those things? I remember I didn't skip the plot at the time."
Seeing this, the Rover rubbed his head uncertainly. He felt that the plot he was seeing now was different from what he had experienced in his previous life.
He would absolutely never admit that all his attention at that time was on Jinhsi, so much so that he didn't notice those details at all.
