Rick and Morty: My Grandfather is Rick?

These robots, with propellers on top, used powerful lights from their bottoms to completely illuminate the top of the inverted iron tower.

It looks exactly the same as what I saw in the previous video.

An inverted iron tower, connected to the stone wall by dozens of iron chains on each level and in a completely floating state, looks like an ancient giant sleeping underground.

Looking up, a large number of bats hung upside down from the ceiling a hundred meters high. In the dim light, pairs of red eyes were staring at the only two living people here.

"Jesus! I almost got bitten to death here last time!"

"A bunch of bats? Surely not?"

When Grandpa heard C167 Jerry say that he almost died last time, he looked at him with a puzzled expression. As far as he knew, C167 Jerry had gone through a complete leveling-up process, and his actual combat power and theoretical knowledge of higher combat power were sufficient to deal with all kinds of situations.

So you said you almost got bitten to death?

Seeing that his grandfather didn't believe him, C167 Jerry explained, "You should know that bats carry a lot of viruses, but the viruses they carry, whether through natural evolution or artificial cultivation, have produced neurotoxins. The reason my video disappeared after entering that area was because the neurotoxins started to take effect, and I almost died."

"Oh!"

Even though C167 Jerry described them as extremely ferocious, Grandpa only paid a little attention to these bats because... last time you came in with your physical body, without any protection!

If those bats had strong enough teeth to bite through our liquid protective suits...

It would have been strange if you had a perfectly intact piece of flesh on your body when you came back that day.

"Go, go."

Just like taking a stroll after a meal, Grandpa and C167 Jerry walked from the iron chain in front of them all the way to the top of the tower and then went down the stairs.

After turning the corner, the empty glass jars, which were pressed against the left and right walls and extended into the deepest darkness, appeared in front of Grandpa.

"J230, B421, T241, if these are all Rick's... Hey! I recognize this one! It seems he's now working at Rick City TV... Yes! Scarface Rick! I've always felt this guy is completely different from his younger days, probably about ten years ago..."

"So what exactly is this place used for?"

"Replacement, of course! This must be a cloning lab for a replacement program! You know why Ricks almost... but not 100% of them, hate cloning technology? Is it because Ricks can't do it? No, no, no, most Ricks don't use cloning technology because they're narcissistic enough to think they're unique in this world. Why would a Rick clone himself? With a clone, how can he be unique?"

"So, here?"

"Huh? Wait! Did you hear something?"

As the two were talking, Grandpa suddenly raised his hand, signaling C167 Jerry to be quiet, because he had heard a strange sound...

Chapter 557 Factions

Ruicheng.

The night of the first day of the campaign.

After returning from the hospital in Ruicheng, Morty gathered everyone together and informed them that his gunshot wound had fully healed and would not interfere with the campaign schedule for the next two days.

The people gathered in the small villa did not go to rest.

Because today's match was just a warm-up game.

Over the next two days, they will try to win votes from other groups and win the final public debate.

Only when the final voting stage arrives can we finally rest.

In other words, the time required to win over the group is 3 days.

Public debate: 1 day.

Final vote: 1 day.

After Moty successfully won over the rogue Moty faction and a portion of the Motys during the day, thus securing his first voter base.

The vote count for the entire city of Ruicheng was finally completed at this time and displayed to Morty and the others through holographic projection.

Only Rick and Morty remain in the city of Rui.

While they appear to be two large groups, upon closer examination, each individual forms alliances with others who share similar interests due to their own self-interest.

Therefore, within Light Rick, based solely on their attitudes towards Morty, they can be divided into: the Morty-friendly faction (very few people), the Morty neutral faction (more people), and the Morty supply faction (most people).

After all, not every Rick truly cherishes Morty; many Ricks simply treat Morty as a consumable item.

From a certain perspective, the Morty district can also be called the Defective Morty Abandoned District.

Those who stay here, except for a few who have a chance to turn their lives around, can only stay here and wait to die, so Morty felt that he should focus his efforts here.

Through promises to the future and the elevation of Morty's status, a series of policies were implemented to prevent Rick from using Morty as a consumable item at will.

Morty thought he could win over the Morty Academy's collective vote.

So these are two groups of people.

But not enough.

"I suggest that the Ruicheng Research Institute could also join in. By promising to relax restrictions on their experiments and increase funding for practical science after they are promoted, they should be able to get a certain number of votes."

Standing in front of the holographic projection, Morty, after a whole day, finally received the feedback from his campaign team.

This finally made him feel that his grandfather's money hadn't been wasted.

If these idiots take the money and don't give me any opinions, and are just a bunch of clerks, then he might as well fire them right now.

"Excellent! That's a very constructive suggestion! If anyone else has any suggestions, please feel free to share them."

Morty praised the man, which seemed to encourage the other little Mortys as well.

One by one, everyone shared their opinions on Rick and Morty from different factions.

It was about half an hour later.

After Moti finished speaking, he spent ten minutes organizing the information in his mind. He looked at the holographic projection in mid-air again. Having only been to Ruicheng for a short time, he finally had a clear understanding of the factional struggles in Ruicheng.

Within the Rick community, the struggle between those who stick together and those who work independently has existed since the very beginning of Rick City's founding.

The "group faction" believes that Rick and his friends have too many enemies outside and like to roam around the universe. As a result, it often happens that Rick's enemies from universe A end up wandering around universe B in universe A and getting killed by those enemies.

As Rick's numbers increase, so does his number of enemies.

So when enemies get to know each other and form an anti-Rick alliance, Rick should also form an alliance... to fight back against his enemies...

[Having killed his enemy's family and friends, and to prevent retaliation, he even forms an alliance to take down his enemy... Rick and his friends are definitely the ultimate bosses in any story...]

Morty, those words flashing through his mind, glanced at the approximately two thousand members of the solo group. These were people who believed that the emergence of Ruicheng had made all Ricks mediocre, and they weren't just people who loved freedom and adventure...

They are the most troublesome members of Rick's group.

He is inherently unwilling to be constrained by a system, admires the true Rick life, and is the kind of person who, even if overwhelmed by millions of enemies, would still raise the middle finger and die laughing.

Well, these have to be eliminated...

I came here to run for president of Ruicheng, not to dissolve Ruicheng and then be slaughtered like a dog by C137 and Dark Little Mo...

Therefore, Morty has to give up on this group.

Within Rick's faction, if we break it down further...

It's basically just a matter of factions: the mechanical faction, the magical faction, the energy faction, the Jerry-loving faction, the Jerry-hating faction, the Jerry-go-die faction, the Bess-protecting-the-world-best faction, and the kill-the-world-most-vicious-Jerry faction...

Looking at the various "Jerry Die Factions" grouped together in a special arrangement, Morty could tell... the majority of Rick's hatred for Jerry.

When that tiny bit of dream destroyer entered Beth's body.

Beth, who inherited all of Rick's good qualities and the flaws that Diane had erased, was destined to go even further than Rick, and thus she was trapped by Jerry one by one.

Let her have children.

Pfft! This is truly the greatest irony that fate has played on Rick and his friends!

"So what do we do with these people?"

Faced with these large and small groups of Jerry's haters, Morty said without the slightest hesitation, "Let's go and win them over!"

"How do we win them over? Wait... this is Jerry's hated faction! Jesus! He's our father!"

Noticing the expressions of surprise followed by anger on all of Morty's faces, Morty finally understood why Jerry's daycare had been established.

Even though the little Moss kids are weak-willed and argue with their families, most of them still regard Jerry as their father.

Therefore, his attitude towards Jerry was considered an anomaly among Xiao Mo's.

Seeing that everyone was clearly unhappy, Morty carefully explained how he would try to win over these Ricks.

"Okay, stop venting your pointless emotions. Behave like an adult and let me explain my strategy."

"The existence of Jerry's Daycare has always seemed to have given Rick and his friends a good place to leave Jerry alone and not bother them."

"But the number of Jerrys in this world, just like Rick and Morty, is always infinite."

"So here's the question..."

"Even if we use space-filling technology, or turn a planet into Jerry's caretaker's home, these are only temporary solutions. We need to come up with a plan that will solve the problem once and for all, don't we?"

Morty's words, full of rationality and long-term vision, made all the little Mortys nod in unison.

Indeed, as Morty said, Jerry Custody Center is only a short-term policy. So how can we solve this problem once and for all?

Morty, full of mischief, smiled and uttered an idea that no one had guessed.

"I think... the final plan should be... to bring Jerry... not just Jerry, we should also bring Sangmei and Beth into Rui City!"

Chapter 558 They are all dead

The morning of the second day of campaigning.

After sending his campaign team to the Ruicheng Research Institute first, Morty and his two bodyguards, Rick, went to the Ruicheng Commando Unit located in the heart of Ruicheng.

Just before setting off, Morty finally figured out the security structure of Ruicheng.

There are a total of three departments: Ruicheng Commando, Ruicheng Police Station, and Ruicheng Intelligence Department.

The Ruicheng Commando Team is currently responsible for all external combat operations. Their combat style is to use any means necessary to deal with the enemy. As long as the mission can be completed, they will do everything in their power to achieve it.

Of course, as Rick, they occasionally lose control.

For example, the Monopoly game in Mirror City...

As for the Ruicheng Police Department, it is an internal armed force. Naturally, its operating style cannot be as 'free' as the commando unit. The stricter system ensures that the Ruicheng COPs will not do anything that would affect the entire Ruicheng.

But a system is a system. As long as there are people, there will always be room for maneuver. Therefore, when cracking down on criminals, the individual handling style of the cop is of great importance.
