Rick and Morty: My Grandfather is Rick?

"If you mean treating Morty like toilet paper, using him and then discarding him, then I can only say... you probably haven't really encountered female Ricks."

"We're different from those birds who don't care about anything, yet are also obsessed with certain things—that kind of twisted thing."

"To survive in this cruel world, trust is more important than anything else, so I promise you, as long as we escape together, I won't abandon you in the crucial moment."

Are you relieved now?

“Jesus! What kind of world do you live in? There isn’t even basic trust between people? I’m trapped here just like you, trapped for at least twice as long as you have been alive,”

Lying on her side in the glass jar, Rick felt something was off as she spoke, so she sat up straight and looked at Morty with a complicated expression.

After carefully observing this Morty.

Rick tentatively asked, "Do you know the P850?"

Morty: "..."

"Uh...I...I don't know him..." Morty's face was a struggle between his inner emotions and his facial muscles. He kept taking deep breaths, trying his best not to give himself away in front of the other person.

But... what's the point of this!

When Rick the girl said Grandpa's number, Morty's subconscious, genuine expression of panic gave everything away.

He knows it! P850!!!

The moment this thought entered Rick's mind, it was like a nuclear bomb exploding in her head.

"You motherfuck! You piece of shit, listen to me! We have to get out of here! I don't care what you're thinking right now! We have to escape!!!"

Did you hear me clearly?

Even if you crawl over the laser net like a paramecium, in the most humble posture, lick the guards' boots like a dog, or be an airplane targeted by ten thousand anti-aircraft guns...

"We must escape!!!"

Morty: "..."

Seeing Rick's near-hysterical excitement, Morty wondered if he should just give up and not run away...

Judging from her attitude, if we go out, it will definitely be like the last time C167 had that historic meeting with Grandpa, and they'll end up fighting tooth and nail.

Last time, it was only through C167's blood relationship with him, plus some explanations from his grandfather, that he managed to separate the two stubborn old men.

This time... who can keep Rick in check?

Thinking that it's always better to ask a question than not to ask one, Morty cautiously asked, "Why does she get so 'excited' when she hears about Grandpa?"

"Excited? You have no idea what excitement is!"

"That damned old bastard! When C137 was building the wall, he made us female Ricks stay in the infinite multiverse, but P850 deliberately left me here!"

"Fuck you! I've spent decades of my life here! You think I'm excited? Just wait until I see him, that'll show me what real excitement is!"

Chapter 400: Grandpa's Youth?

Life is a very difficult thing, Morty has always known that, but to face it clearly and calmly, and to find a way to solve it, is another matter.

The current situation regarding my grandfather is unknown.

I certainly can't be like those idiots in third-rate movies who are rescued and just stand there waiting for that old geezer in a white robe who might cosplay as Gandalf to come and save me.

After all, if a prince on a white horse comes to rescue someone, he will surely live happily ever after with the princess.

But... when that smelly old man in the white robe comes to save people, what awaits you is definitely not 'oh my baby', but tons of 'fuck' and 'you little piece of trash' being hurled into your ears.

If you were to stay put and wait for rescue, you would definitely get a good scolding.

So he definitely can't wait for his grandfather to come and save him, otherwise who knows what kind of mess he'll make of him.

The problem is, his only current partner—female Rick—is about to demonstrate to his grandfather what 'excitement' truly means, right in front of him.

So... in order to prevent my life from coming to an end because of this, of course I have to cooperate with her!

After all, no matter how amazing Project Phoenix is, no matter how much it can be reborn across the multiverse, if you change the data of the reborn clone, who knows which world you will end up in.

Well, Morty wouldn't dare gamble that Rick in the suit didn't have the technical expertise in that area, after all, these guys had brought out Project Nirvana.

When it comes to plagiarism, Rick and his ilk are just as good.

Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, escaping by suicide should be the last thing on any plan.

Anyway, since the female Rick is Grandpa's fault, I'm definitely not going to take the blame. I'll just escape first and then figure things out later!

Just imagining how the smile on Grandpa's face gradually disappeared and turned into terror as he escaped, Morty felt an extraordinary sense of satisfaction.

Of course, this is all predicated on the female Rick being truly trustworthy...

Otherwise, I might not even live to see my grandfather.

"Since you've made up your mind, let's not waste any more time. Start crawling through the pipe, you maggot!"

"So indecisive, just like a woman!"

Rick's powerful and unrestrained voice pulled Morty back to reality from his thoughts.

Looking at Rick, who didn't care about her personal image at all, wearing only a pair of briefs, she lazily leaned against the glass window, giving herself orders without any intention of participating herself.

Mortic was unhappy.

Although he's the only one who can crawl into the rubber hose to try and escape, you're supposed to be Rick, can't you do something useful?

"Get to work! Get inside! What are you standing there like an idiot for?"

"What? Do you want me to give you a warm hug that will fill you with energy?"

"Tsk! Okay, come here then, I'll give you a warm hug?"

Morty: "..."

The other party's sharp words and almost immoral behavior made Morty feel extremely uncomfortable. He was simply internally criticizing the other party for not putting in any effort.

But this damned female Rick, with just a few words, managed to steer the situation into a completely different context.

Although their words and implied meanings differed, one thing remained completely consistent.

That's her using reverse psychology.

However, this tactic was almost useless against Morty, who had been trained by his grandfather, and he felt that the other party should also know that given his grandfather's temperament, the disciples he taught...

Okay! It's been decades since someone last saw their grandfather.

My grandfather back then was a cheerful young man whose daily life was filled with the joy brought by his family.

So this information discrepancy should have led Rick to believe that her grandfather was still the same man from back then.

If we think about it this way, there is a strange detail here, which is the topic of basic trust between people that was just mentioned.

It was based on this trust that the other party then probed her relationship with her grandfather.

That means Grandpa was already a 'sunny big boy' back then, not a 'sunny big boy' anymore?

Morty, who seemed to vaguely know something about his grandfather's style in his youth, began to crawl into the rubber hose under Rick's repeated urging.

This time, he went very deep.

Following the rubber hose, Morty soon arrived at the junction of several pipes. A larger metal water pipe, like a signpost, helped Morty find his way.

Keep going.

The pipes no longer have an end that can be seen at a glance.

Right-angle turns, W-shaped layout, Z-shaped water pipes, and U-shaped three-way intersection.

The further they went, the more winding the route became, and Morty gradually began to feel uneasy. He felt that if it was just about laying a water pipe, there was no need to go through such a complicated and winding water pipe route.

Besides, I've already been moving forward for a good ten minutes.

Whose water pipes take ten minutes to walk to the final big water pipe?

The water pressure alone isn't enough!

So Morty tried to penetrate the pipe to see what was outside, but his penetrating ability in his soul form met its match this time.

Impenetrable!

This damn water pipe actually contains or is mixed with substances that prevent souls from entering or leaving!

With alarm bells ringing in his mind, Morty decisively retreated. A minute or two later, back inside the glass jar, Morty told Rick everything he had just seen.

As a result, this guy who talks without understanding the situation actually gave a single sentence.

"You little idiot, keep going in there, go all the way to the end. What are you doing back here now? Do I look like your grandpa?"

"Get to work!"

This made Morty a little angry, or rather, he was already angry but had been holding back.

After all, the two of them were essentially on the same boat.

But when things turned into a situation where he was the only one rowing hard while someone else was just paddling, Morty didn't hold back. He knew a way to enrage all the Ricks, but at a very high cost.

This is a secret technique that almost everyone knows very well, but would never use lightly.

That is...

"Are you a useless person? Can't you do it? You're just a piece of trash, all you have is Rick's shell."

"What?" Rick's eyes widened when she heard this, and she asked in an angry tone.

Morty, who had no intention of stopping, pointed to the rubber hose above his head and said, "I'm telling you, you're a piece of trash who can't escape and is ultimately pinning your hopes on a Morty!"

"You have absolutely no ability. You can't understand? Are you deaf? Are you an idiot whose abilities would be halved if the gender were reversed?"

"You piece of trash Rick! You piece of junk!"

Chapter 401 Both Mad and Rational

The best way to provoke any Rick has always been through provocative words from Morty, but this tactic comes at a high price.

If you encounter a Rick who treats Morty like toilet paper, then after saying these words, he's basically done for.

If you encounter Rick who cares even a little about Morty, then this statement is tantamount to the person you usually consider the least capable jumping out to mock you for being even more inferior than him.

And as for female Rick...
