Rick and Morty: My Grandfather is Rick?

Does this mean... Morty is destined to die?

Chapter 425 Rick's Mindset

"Fuck! I don't accept this result! Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! I don't want this outcome! There must be some way in this world that Grandpa didn't think of!"

There must be a way!

Sangmei was talking to herself, as if she was encouraging herself or persuading herself not to give up, because her grandfather had already given up.

Beth and Jerry, the former was sent away by Grandpa to an unknown place, and the latter's whereabouts are also unknown.

Perhaps when Beth was here, the two of them could come up with some brilliant ideas together, but right now, only Sangmei is here.

So...

"Never mind! I'm going to find a way to travel through time!" Sang Mei walked into the garage, opened the door to the underground base, and went down the stairs to this dark place.

"AI!"

With an anxious tone, he urged the AI ​​to wake up quickly, but after the last time the AI ​​tried to rebel, Grandpa completely downgraded the AI's intelligence level.

The AI ​​currently placed here has had some of its functions removed; it's at best a semi-finished product.

This also makes it incredibly rigid.

Fortunately, even though it's rigid, it still has most of the functions of AI, which can ensure that Sangmei gets the information she needs.

"what's up?"

"I need to know how to travel through time, I need to know how to save... Never mind! You definitely don't know, just tell me how to travel through time!"

"There's a control panel ten meters to your left and behind you. It can access most of the facilities in this underground base. You can use it to activate the time machine."

When Sangmei heard that her grandfather actually had a time-traveling machine, she wasn't too surprised, since it was the first time she had heard this news.

It's not surprising that these things exist, right?

As Sammy approached the machine, the AI ​​suddenly added, "Based on my programming, the information I've gathered has led me to conclude that Morty is dead. This AI will activate safe house measures to ensure the safety of you, Beth, and Jerry."

"Therefore, I suggest you don't leave here. Wait for P850 Rick to finish dealing with the situation outside, and wait until everything is safe before taking any further action."

Hearing this guy's words, Sangmei shouted at the ceiling, "If you really have a brain, you should look at who's lying on the sofa! It's the one who made your P850! He's already given up! No! He didn't even try! He saw Morty die, and he became completely useless!"

"Right now! I'm the only one trying to save Morty!"

"That's why I don't care about that damn safe house! That old bastard who gives up as soon as he encounters difficulties!"

"As long as there is a glimmer of hope, I will not give up!"

After yelling at the AI, Sangmei tapped a few times on the control panel. After finding the function she wanted, she decisively activated the time-traveling device.

As the command was input, the steel-plated ground slowly opened to the left and right, and the entire underground base began to expand, or rather, began to reveal its complete form.

A small archway machine, prefabricated and installed underground, appeared before Sangmei's eyes.

After a large amount of electricity was transmitted, a white light flashed in the center of the arch, followed by a cluster of several linear objects that looked like gel coalescing into a ball, which eventually burst open.

A transparent energy layer, no thicker than an A4 sheet of paper, covered the entire interior of the small archway. Immediately afterwards, a control machine shaped like a lectern rose from the ground to the right of the archway.

The time travel displayed on the screen made Sangmei hesitate.

She knew that with her intellectual capacity, it was almost impossible to solve the problem at hand, but the mental torment caused by Rick's way of thinking was extremely unsettling.

So she brought in the person she considered the second smartest—Sherlock Holmes.

All the products of this thought process are now telling him, in the most rational way, that he must activate Rick's mindset.

Otherwise, by the time it's too late to regret it, the problem will have turned into a disaster, killing one person after another and destroying one world after another.

Because this isn't something like driving yourself to visit another friend in the city.

This is damn time travel!

If you're not careful, leaving even a tiny scrap of paper behind in that time and space could potentially change everything just because a gust of wind blows by.

Therefore... we must be cautious!

"Ugh! I really hate thinking like Rick!"

After complaining to the heavens that Ricks' brains were almost all the same, Sangmei decisively chose to immerse herself in the mindset of a Rick who was reasonably capable.

The reason she didn't choose her grandfather or C137 is naturally because the former is currently helpless about this matter, and as for the latter... to be honest, Sangmei can't keep up with C137's level of thinking.

Because she had tried this kind of thinking once before, which almost drove her crazy.

From that moment on, she would never again be associated with C137.

However, this time... Rick's ordinary thinking cannot solve Morty's problem, because Morty is no longer an ordinary being.

Or rather, the physical body is the physical body, and consciousness is consciousness; when the two are together, a person lives in one way.

So when the body dies, if the soul exists in this world, then the consciousness, which is that person, will see themselves leave the body and go to another world.

If the body dies but the soul does not exist in this world, then death is truly death, because one cannot enter another form of body from one physical body.

When consciousness falls into a coma or dies, but the body is still alive, this thing is nothing more than a large, still-living cluster of cells.

Therefore, none of the above situations have anything to do with Morty whatsoever...

Because this thing is essentially a soul being, when its 'physical body,' that is, its consciousness itself, is damaged, every part of its body that suffers the damage can actually be attacked as part of its brain, memory, and thinking abilities.

It's like someone opening your skull and then using a spoon to scoop a part off.

Once it's dug up, even if you want to put it back, you can't guarantee that the place will still be exactly the same as before it was dug up.

So if the body dies but the consciousness or soul is still alive, a new body can be created so that the person can be 'resurrected'.

But when consciousness itself dies.

How do I revive?

Sangmei was disheartened by the disappointing answer, but she quickly rallied because there was still one way!

C137!

Chapter 426 The Final Time Loop Completed

When Sang Mei thought of C137, she certainly didn't mean that she would run to C137 herself, kneel down, kowtow to him, and beg this big shot to save Morty.

Instead, we should empathize with him!

If you were C137, and faced with the situation where Morty's soul had already died but you absolutely had to save him, what would you do?

[They're already dead like this, so they might as well be completely dead... Why bother trying to bring them back to life? It's exhausting... Wouldn't it be just as good to have Morty instead?]

Putting herself in C137's shoes, the first thought that came to mind was to switch to another one. Even though Sang Mei was mentally prepared, she still couldn't accept this outcome.

Is this something that can be easily replaced?

How could this possibly be so easily replaced?!

Those emotions, those experiences, those feelings of living in this world, no matter how life is, there will always be someone who, regardless of whether you are poor or rich, only hopes that you can live a healthy life. This is the most basic expectation that anyone can have.

There aren't that many easy substitutes in this world!

So Sangmei immediately put that thought aside and forced herself to resist the negative emotions in C137's mind. By utilizing his high level of thinking, she obtained an answer that surprised even herself.

"The key to breaking the deadlock actually lies with Cthulhu... Xerath?"

Recalling the legend that Cthulhu was reborn inside Xerath after his death, Sangmi was momentarily confused.

If this method works.

What should I do?

Old K is now dead, so he must be inside Kishira's belly. Therefore, stuffing Morty in as well makes...

Sangmei almost vomited on the spot when she thought of a certain scene.

The 'classic skin' designs of those Croesus creatures are so bizarre, each one more outlandish than the last, and then there's Morty, who also came out of Croesus's belly.

This matter...

do not care!

Saving Morty is the most important thing!

However, if the goal is to resurrect Morty through Kashira's belly, then Morty must be placed inside.

How to place it has become another problem...

"Ugh! This is so annoying! Is this how Grandpa and Morty usually think things through?! They have to consider so many details!"

Unaware that she was already facing a problem that even her grandfather couldn't solve, Sangmei continued to use C137's thinking to look at the matter from a different perspective.

Since all physical bodies and consciousness are separate life forms, each being distinct, then a soul-body being is an existence in which consciousness and physical body are integrated.

This means that... the substances that remained after Morty's body dissolved were originally Morty's consciousness!

Thinking of this, Sang Mei decisively ran out of the underground base. After finding the teleportation gun on her grandfather, she opened the teleportation portal to Ruicheng.

When Sammy returned to the hospital, she startled the medical staff.

After all, you don't usually see Sammy, Beth, and Jerry in Ruicheng; there's only Rick and Morty—a grandfather and grandson who seem to be bound together forever.

"Don't worry about me, I'm just going to that room to find something. By the way! You didn't clean that room, did you?"

After receiving the satisfactory answer that the room had been frozen in time, Sangmei asked a nurse named Morty to take her to the supplies room first.

After taking a bag of Morty's 'scraps' with rubber gloves from that examination room, she immediately returned to her home in universe C167.

After the AI ​​accesses the biological laboratory module function for me.

This decisive young woman, who had been moving quickly and efficiently, looked at the screen full of advanced English words and a chemical reaction equation that she had to read for two minutes before she could understand it.

My mind went completely blank.

Yes, she did elevate her thinking to the level of C137, but the problem is that this doesn't mean that everything C137 has learned and knows has entered her mind all at once.

If Sangmei could enter into someone's mind anytime, anywhere, she could access their memories and know everything about that person.

Then she will successfully replace C137, becoming the person most wanted to be killed by countless people in this universe, and will eventually die from the endless attacks of countless people.

On the other hand...
