01. Become a partner
The first law: Humans must not harm anyone, nor do they stand idly by while witnessing the danger to which humanity will be exposed.
Second Law: A person must obey an order given by a person, which violates the first law.
The third law: The machine qì person must protect his own existence without violating the first and second laws.
In the year 2035, the intelligent machine qì human has been widely used by human beings as the best production tool and human companion.
The machine qì people play an increasingly important role in various fields, and due to the limitations of the well-known 'three safety laws', human beings are full of trust and affection for these partners who can do all kinds of work without complaint, and many of them have even become members of a family.
"Good morning, sir! Your order has been delivered to ...... in a timely manner"
"Get out of the way, Tin Man." Spooner didn't give the machine a chance to finish, pressed it in the face with one hand, pushed it away, and let it walk by.
"Have a nice day!" The machine qì person has no temper, and looked at the leaving Spooner and politely wished him.
Bai Xiaotian, who was not far behind Spner, saw a machine person leading four or five dogs, and there was a feeling that the machine person was being pulled by a dog, and the orange sanitation machine with a special symbol was dumping garbage.
"I'm sorry, sir!"
Bai Xiaotian saw that Spooner, who was obviously distracted, bumped into the shoulder of the machine, and the person immediately apologized to him, but he ignored it and walked by himself, and Bai Xiaotian could only laugh at this scene.
USR's latest NS-5 has already begun to be advertised, a new type of machine that can be directly connected to the USR's central computer and can be upgraded online.
"Spu, Spner!" Farber saw Spooner and immediately threw the basketball at him.
Spooner made a two-handed gesture to catch the ball but deliberately missed the basketball, allowing it to fly by, retracting the gesture and continuing to hurry.
Faber was only stunned for a moment, ignored the basketball, and chased directly after Spooner.
Bai Xiaotian shook his head when he saw this scene, ran to the basketball, picked it up directly, and chased after Faber.
"Spooner, where have you been lately?"
"Gone for a while, is there a problem?"
"Leaving for a vacation? I'm going to enjoy it. Farber took off his hat and touched the back of his head. Can you do me a favor? ”
Spooner looked at Faber as he walked beside him.
"Borrow your car and use it...... This time it's different, I got a hot chick, absolutely nice chick! ”
Bai Xiaotian, who was holding a basketball not far behind the two, smiled, it seems that Faber has borrowed a car from Spooner, and it is estimated that he has not done anything good.
"Hey, your balls, right?"
"Oh, thank you." Farber turned around and saw Bai Xiaotian take the basketball and look at Spooner.
Spooner glanced at the enthusiastic Bai Xiaotian and smiled, and refused to Faber, who still wanted to borrow a car: "Go home." ”
Bai Xiaotian is not a plaster, there is only one purpose, just familiar. Since there is nothing to do with yourself, of course, you just turn around and leave.

Bai Xiaotian went directly to the police station to find Sheriff Birkin.
"Sheriff, someone is looking for you."
"Come in." Sergeant Birkin looked up and saw Bai Xiaotian coming in and was stunned, an Asian? "You're looking for me?"
Bai Xiaotian looked at the detective who brought him, and it seemed that an Asian man came to find the sheriff and aroused his curiosity.
"You go out first." Birkin immediately saw that Bai Xiaotian seemed to have some private affairs, motioned for the detective to go out, and looked at Bai Xiaotian after the detective went out.
"I'm good sheriff, nice to meet you." Bai Xiaotian walked to Birkin's desk and stretched out a hand of friendship, there was no way, he sat there and didn't get up. I had to take the initiative myself.
The handshake etiquette is a common etiquette in the West, and Birkin naturally stretched out his hand to shake Bai Xiaotian as he wished, but something happened with this handshake.
"Who is that man? Shaking hands with the sheriff for so long? Friends? ”
"I haven't heard that the sheriff has Chinese friends."
"Chinese? How do you know if you're Chinese? Not a stick man? ”
"Intuition, intuition doesn't understand. Only good intuition makes a good agent. ”
"I don't believe it."
"A hundred."
"Gambling is rich, two hundred."
"Deal."
Bai Xiaotian had to shake hands with Sheriff Birkin for a long time, but the key was that the offices here were all floor-to-ceiling glass, and the inside and outside could be seen. He had to telepathically get the sheriff to move, and from the outside it looked like the two were holding hands and talking about something.
"Okay, I know." It was a long time before Sheriff Birkin and Bai Xiaotian let go. "I'll ask them to prepare your materials."
"I'm sorry for you."
"What's not troublesome, it's my honor to transfer you here." Sergeant Birkin smiled, he didn't know that Bai Xiaotian was transferred from the high-level special department above to carry out a secret mission, and the fact that Bai Xiaotian was completely made up and entered into his brain was only believed that it was true, this is the terrible effect of telepathy.
Soon the police officer who bet lost to the detective 200, the information is the detective is in charge, and the newly transferred detective Bai Xiaotian is a Chinese, and he can drink again after winning 200 nights.

"I think I've found a partner." After Bai Xiaotian got to know everyone in the police station, he saw Spooner who came back unhappy soon after.
"Him?" Birkin followed Bai Xiaotian's eyes and saw the figure who gave him a headache, "It's based on facts......" and walked towards Spooner as he spoke.
Bai Xiaotian shook his head and smiled, the lines from the movie.
"Spooner, I'll introduce you to someone, your future partner, Bai Xiaotian."
"What?" Spooner looked at Bai Xiaotian for a moment, "It's you?" ”
"Hi hello, Bai Xiaotian, we've met before."
"You've seen it?" Birkin was stunned for a moment, but soon took it for granted that this was normal, and the memory in his brain Bai Xiaotian was from the high-level secret department, and it was not difficult to check the agent's information, "It's okay if you've seen it, Spooner, Bai Xiaotian has just been transferred, I hope you can take him well." ”
"No!" Spooner shook his head, "I don't need a partner, he's not my partner, you can arrange him for someone else." ”
"Spooner ......"
"Sheriff." Bai Xiaotian interrupted Birkin, who was embarrassed by Spooner's collision, "Borrow your office for it." ”
"Huh?" Birkin was stunned, and Spooner was also stunned, what does it mean to borrow an office from the head of a bureau?
"Yes." Birkin readily agreed.
"Spooner. Let's go in and talk, and then we'll decide if we can be partners, okay? ”
"There's nothing to talk about, I don't need a partner." Spooner doesn't sell the account of the white smile.
"Spner!" Berzin is terrible.
"Okay." Spooner raised his hands and shrugged his shoulders and stood up and walked to the sheriff's office, and said in a low voice as he passed Bai Xiaotian's side, "We can't be partners. ”
"Hey, don't say that." Bai Xiaotian nodded at the sheriff, thanked him, and followed Spooner into the sheriff's office.
"Do you think they can be a partner?"
"Spooner has always been a maverick and doesn't like to have a partner, I don't think it's possible."
"Sheriff's Arrangement ......"
"What's the use of that, the sheriff cares about Spooner, and Spooner doesn't care about the sheriff. He's got a weird temper, and the shoes he's wearing are weird. ”
"A hundred?"
"Two hundred!"
"Deal!"
"Three hundred, I bet that Bai Xiaotian can become a partner with Spner."
"Sheriff......" The two detectives were startled.
"Two three hundred is six hundred, don't worry about supper in the future." Birkin knew that Bai Xiaotian was from a special department, and it was not easy to clean up Spooner's headache.
"Tell me, what do you want to talk about?" As soon as Spooner entered the office, he looked back at Bai Xiaotian, who closed the door.
"Machine qì people."
"Ji qì people, then you are looking for the wrong person, you should go to USR instead of here......"
"Gather information about the danger of the machine."
"What?" Spooner's previous words were interrupted, and before he could get angry, he heard the words that surprised him, "You...... You repeat! Spooner pointed his finger at Bai Xiaotian and looked at him seriously. His action has a different meaning in the eyes of outsiders.
"I bought three hundred bets that they wouldn't be partners."
Birkin ignored two or three more people joining in, he just frowned and looked at the two inside.
"You heard it right, it's classified, and even Sheriff Birkin doesn't know about it. You want to keep it a secret. ”
"Who are you?" Spooner looked outside at Birkin.
"The people outside are the second besides Sheriff Birkin who knows who I am, I'm from the special department, and now you also see that the machine is becoming more and more widely used, and everyone doesn't realize that there may be a potential crisis hidden in this. My job is to do the work, and you're the only agent I can find at the moment who is biased against the machine. to be able to find clues from perfection. ”
"Wait, special department ......" Spooner raised his hand and pressed it, although he didn't say much, but the amount of information was too much, he looked at Birkin outside, he still believed him very much, that is to say, the person in front of him was right, pointed to himself and asked Bai Xiaotian: "I just don't like Ji Qì people, it's not that I am prejudiced against it." ”
"That's right, you don't like it to see its weaknesses and shortcomings, and that's what we need."
Although Spooner believed it, he didn't believe it lightly, he crossed his waist with one hand and touched his chin with the other with a thoughtful look, and soon pointed to Bai Xiaotian and said: "You are from the special department......" pointed to Birkin outside, "He knows your identity......" pointed to himself, "Our mission can't let him know?" ”
"Clever." When Bai Xiaotian heard the word 'we', he knew that Spooner had accepted the fact that he had become a partner.
"It's a pleasure to work with." Spooner smiled and stretched out a happily cooperative hand to Bai Xiaotian.
"Happy working together!"
"I won." Birkin saw the two smiling and shook hands, and he also looked at the money on the table behind him with a smile, winning is winning and losing, losing is losing, and only the winner can take this money, "For the new agent Bai Xiaotian to join, this money will be called to everyone to eat it at night." ”
"Oh yes!"
"Sheriff...... This money...... It doesn't seem to be enough ......."
"Oh......" Birkin looked around and found that he was negligent, there are more people and less money is not enough, he shook his head, grabbed the money on the table and turned to leave, and said as he left: "AA system!" ”
"Bastard, you kid will lose a good meal."
"Yes...... But that's really not enough money......"
"You're stupid, just run away when you're full, don't you leave the last one to pay, anyway, the sheriff said that he had a treat, who would dare not give face."
"Thank you, big brother, next time I understand ......" (to be continued......)
