Rick and Morty: My Grandfather is Rick?

Furthermore, given the grudge between C167 and Grandpa, if they meet, they will inevitably fight until only one of them can leave alive.

Upon first seeing C167 and connecting it with the contents of the book he had left for himself, Morty felt that even if he had returned to the person of 'flexible morality'...

It's unlikely that it can harm C167.

Because he is the only Rick I have ever met out of more than a hundred Ricks who loves his family wholeheartedly.

[This is so difficult... Never mind! Let's not worry about that for now... What I need to do now is find Grandpa, or find the bad side of myself, put it back into my body, and let my fully realized self think about this problem...]

Having made up his mind to escape, Morty arrived at the entrance to the underground base. Before he even went down, he heard C167's voice...

"It's been many years since I've built a teleportation gun, so I'm really rusty. It took me about half an hour to get it working. Luckily, the energy extraction equipment here wasn't completely destroyed. Once I've fixed this extraction equipment, I can go find P850."

Chapter 203 How to Make Energy Liquid

"That's amazing..."

"Isn't that amazing? You must have always been curious about how the energy fluid for the teleportation gun is made, right?"

"There are actually many ways to do this; this is just one of them."

"yes..."

Standing next to the small energy liquid extraction device, Morty looked at the spherical glass object in front of him with genuine surprise.

Even his maternal grandfather had never told him or shown him how to obtain the energy liquid.

He thought it was some kind of natural raw material.

Who knew this thing needed to be processed before it could be used?

"Part of the energy liquid is obtained through mineral mining, liquefaction, refining, and then precise processing. This mineral is under the complete surveillance and exclusive sale of Ruicheng... It's ridiculous that a bunch of Ricks are getting into business..."

"Another type, like what I do, is officially called 'illegal teleportation fluid' in Ruicheng, obtained through all sorts of other methods."

"My method involves directly extracting a portion of matter from the universe itself and converting it into an energy liquid."

"The method is dangerous, but it's not difficult for me."

While listening to C167 explain how to obtain energy fluid, he watched as the electronic components inside the spherical glass in front of him continuously absorbed matter from the universe and converted it into energy fluid.

Morty felt that his grandfather was being too secretive about this.

Or perhaps he simply doesn't want to learn this skill?

Morty, who doesn't yet know the answer, doesn't really want to speculate on his grandfather's behavior, but judging from the current situation, his grandfather is indeed not as generous as C167, whom he just met, in this respect.

C167 collected the energy liquid and poured it into the energy gun, and then opened the portal to the bathhouse.

Morty then went inside with him.

As for Sammy and Beth, C167 didn't forget to open a portal to send them back home, otherwise it would have taken a long time to get back to Colorado from Texas.

Especially Beth, who was still in a state of shock, hadn't even finished processing this so-called Land of the Dead, and yet Grandpa had already taken control of it, imprisoning C167 Rick in the eighteenth level of hell...

She once thought that the grandfather who came back was her father, Rick.

Now it seems that Grandpa might not be her Rick, the C167 in front of her might not be her Rick, and even Morty might not be her Morty...

Back at the bathhouse, Morty, upon arriving at the "Unhealthy Condition Removal Center," saw an empty shop with a sign standing outside.

The shop owner is dead.

When Morty saw the words, he was dumbfounded.

How long has it been, and the shop owner is already dead?

To his surprise, the appearance of C167 made all the staff at the bathhouse extremely nervous.

The manager, Fathead Fish, rushed over and said nervously, "You've already killed someone once. If you keep killing like this, our small business will be ruined..."

"When did I kill...? Was there a Rick here who killed that person?"

"Forehead..."

After finding out the reason for the incident and learning that Rick, the murderer, had taken two machines, C167 concluded that the murderer must be Grandpa.

There's no need to guess anything.

Besides him, who would be so hostile to a merman as to want to kill him?

"Now what..." Morty, halfway through his sentence, forced himself to stop asking for help and instead said directly, "Since he took those two machines, he must be researching them over there. If he's not in the underground base, he must be in Mirror City. Let's go to the underground base first."

Less than three minutes after Sammy and Beth returned home, Morty and C167 returned to the same place.

Looking at the ordinary two-story house in front of him, C167's expression was somewhat complicated.

Besides creating the teleportation gun, he also had the restarted AI collect everything that had happened during his absence and tell him about it via voice.

In particular, the live Pokémon show made him realize that the Beth who lives here now is not C167 Beth, but another Beth.

But the house was chosen by Beth herself.

He was surprised that Beth had settled in Colorado's C167 after he left, which he found quite unbelievable.

Colorado?

What's so great about this godforsaken place?

It's all about scenery, nothing but scenery. If we're talking about scenery, Texas is inferior, isn't it?

Why choose this place over any other option?

At this moment, C167 felt like an old father watching his disappointing daughter. He really wanted to tell his daughter, "If I hadn't died so early and hadn't had time to tell you where I hid the money, you would have bought an estate long ago."

"He doesn't seem to be here, so he can only be in the Mirror City, the only place he feels safe."

Morty, who had come out of the garage and didn't find his grandfather, ran over to tell C167.

However, C167 did not immediately inquire about the location of the Mirror City.

Instead, he asked Morty a question that caught him off guard.

“I know that I’ve only met you a few times when you were a child, and the bond between us isn’t as deep as the one you have with him. So I’m not forcing you to make a choice, but the person you are now isn’t the complete person you are. You don’t even realize that you’re leading someone who’s trying to kill P850 toward him.”

"So before you tell me the coordinates, or how to get to that mirror city, you need to give me an answer."

"Would you stop me when I'm about to kill him, or trying to kill him?"

C167's problem was like a knife stabbing into Morty's heart.

Because of his incomplete personality, his thinking ability had deteriorated, and he was completely unaware that he was actually leading someone who was trying to kill his grandfather to that point.

But what surprised him even more was that the other party was so open and honest.

I will definitely kill people, but I'd like to know more whether you will stop me.

Morty fell silent, looking down at the ground, not wanting C167 to see the conflicted expression on his face.

Although he knew in his heart that C167 was indeed countless times better than his grandfather.

But if he had to choose, he would definitely choose C167 if there were no grudges between them, but if there were grudges... he really couldn't bring himself to help C167 betray his grandfather.

This is an extremely difficult decision to make.

He hoped the two wouldn't be so...unfriendly...

"Alright, I know the answer. He already holds a very important place in your heart, so it's unlikely he's someone who doesn't care about Morty."

Upon hearing C167's seemingly promising words, Morty looked up in surprise.

Just when he thought the other party would put aside their grudges for his sake or for some other reason.

C167 grinned, reached out and ruffled his hair. "I promise I'll make him die faster, reducing it from ten million deaths to one million."

Morty: "..."

Chapter 204 Let's Fight!

Inside the City of Mirrors.

Two elderly men, both lean and wiry, yet exuding an undeniable aura of power, wore identical long white coats. Their similar, afro-like hairstyles and facial features made them appear like twins...

"Motty, did you bring him here?" After a long silence, Grandpa, feeling somewhat hurt, asked a question he would never normally ask.

Having stood there for a full five minutes in this oppressive atmosphere, Morty heard someone finally speak and immediately replied, "No, he found it himself. He... he used some of your hair to have the Time-Traveling Hound find you."

"Damn it! Wasn't that species wiped out by Rick and his gang? How come he still has DNA from that creature? How come I didn't notice?"

When Grandpa heard about the 'Time-Traveling Hound' and that C167 might even have a living organism or DNA in its possession, he immediately swore.

The kind of hound that can find the owner of a single hair among five thousand people in parallel worlds, and even track down the owner across N parallel universes, all with just a single hair.

Its powerful tracking ability led to its discovery by the Fly Man in some unexplored universe.

It has become a powerful tool for hunting down fugitives from various parallel universes.

It is widely used in various departments of the Galactic Empire.

When C137 first established the city of Rui, he led most of the Ruik to launch a year-long war to eliminate these imperial lackeys.

In that year, thousands of Ricks died, billions of Timehounds were wiped out, and all living beings and DNA, even a pile of dog poop, were directly destroyed by flames at ten million degrees.

This event directly led to C137 successfully entering the top spot on the Imperial Bounty List.

If he hadn't become more laid-back later, allowing others to surpass him, C137 would have held the number one spot until the day he actually died.

"Surprised? I remember you were the most adept at those little tricks, how could you not have anticipated that I had a time-space hound?"

C167's words made Grandpa's face darken.

Most of his non-technical abilities actually stem from that 'negative state,' that 'negative state' representing his dark side, which is why P850 is able to occupy a place in the multiverse.

Even the best version of myself... is still a tiny bit lacking.

But it's just a tiny bit off...

In layman's terms, it means you can't win...

Can't win...

What's the point of fighting then!

Although the bad side was gone, his mind was still clear. After rationally assessing the advantages and disadvantages of both sides, Grandpa knew that he had no chance of winning.
