The Story of Pluto
In a world where humans and robots coexist, Europol detective Gesicht finds himself embroiled in a perplexing case. Powerful robots are being systematically destroyed, and Gesicht suspects that the culprit is targeting the most advanced robots, including himself.
As the investigation unfolds, Gesicht uncovers a shocking revelation – influential figures involved in robot law are mysteriously dying, leaving no clues behind. In his pursuit of the truth, Gesicht encounters Atom, an extraordinary robot with advanced emotions and artificial intelligence.
