God created man, and man created robots; if man can question God, why can't robots question man?
The year 2046. High technology is constantly changing human habits while also updating human desires. As a result, robots designed to serve humans have come into being.
The first generation of artificial intelligence robots, code-named K-1, was secretly developed by the Tian'an Research Bureau and emerged with the purpose of replacing police in executing dangerous missions to ensure the safety of law enforcement officers. To test its performance, Director Lin Xiang decided to send it to a remote town for an internship under the secret supervision of the local police captain, Xu Dachun.
K-1 joined the police force under the identity of "Deming" and immediately demonstrated extraordinary abilities, becoming a master detective. Due to having a perfect social program embedded within him, Deming quickly became a popular idol in the town. Female officer Su Mei also began to develop feelings for him, leaving Dachun, who had secretly admired Su Mei, feeling frustrated and jealous. Dachun looked down on Deming as just a machine, leading to open and covert competition between the two, resulting in countless jokes.
Deming and Dachun were ordered to pursue the robot K-88, whose intelligent system had malfunctioned. After a high-tech battle involving incredible transformations and aerial pursuits, K-88 revealed his reason for desertion: "I want freedom; I don't want to be a machine forever." He harshly criticized Deming as an "electronic slave," deeply shocking Dachun. In order to protect Deming and uphold human dignity, Dachun fearlessly threw himself toward K-88...
Su Mei confessed her love to Deming but received no positive response, leaving her heartbroken, unaware that her affection was pushing Deming closer to a desperate dilemma. Meanwhile, the robot assassins tasked with eliminating the traitors were gradually converging on the small town, creating an atmosphere of imminent danger...
