Rick and Morty: My Grandfather is Rick?

One side is a demon, the other is an angel.

A jarring blend of fantasy world art style and modern white-collar worker aesthetics, along with the cold air blowing from the central air conditioning unit on Morty's ceiling, was inhaled into his lungs.

Morty gasped on the spot and immediately noticed a muscular monster, 2.4 meters tall, wearing an oversized suit, holding a cup of coffee in his right hand, and scolding, "What are you doing! Get back to work!"

The demons, who had been scolded by the Great Demon, all lowered their heads, and then the sound of rapid keyboard typing filled the air.

Morty didn't back down when faced with a powerful demon that could easily be taken to a fantasy world and become an elite monster in the early to mid-game or a mini-boss in the current version.

He knew that since his grandfather had pointed the portal here, it couldn't be because the Great Demon had licked his balls; there must be a reason for it.

The great demon, taller than three Mortys combined, stopped less than three meters from Morty and pretended to take a sip of coffee with his enormous mouth.

He even took out a pair of over-ear glasses from his suit pocket, put them on, and looked down at Morty.

"Human, a living person? How did you get to this Intangible Realm Entry Control Center?"

Upon hearing this somewhat tongue-twisting name, Morty countered, "My grandfather Rick's portal led me here, so I came to take a look. Do you mind if I tell you about the situation here?"

Mention Rick, and the devil, who had just been acting like a high-flying professional, froze, immediately throwing his coffee at the head of some unfortunate guy.

He immediately bent down, beaming with a fawning smile, and exclaimed, "So you're Rick Sanchez's grandson! You've grown so much! Hey! I even held you when you were born! And gave you a devil's blessing!"

Morty: "Should I thank you...?"

Considering that I'm not the magical world version of Morty, but just an ordinary urban version of Morty, blessed by a demon at birth...

He felt as if he had found the reason why the original owner had not had a smooth life all these years, but had not experienced any major storms.

A devil's blessing is upon you!

After a few casual words, Morty asked what this place was for and why his grandfather wanted to maintain a portal connection with them.

Mentioning this, the Great Demon pointed to the permanently existing portal behind Morty and said, "Isn't it because your grandfather had some big project to do? Our Intangible World Immigration Management Center provided him with human resources, and he helped us complete the computerized immigration project."

Morty, who felt something was off about the non-material world immigration control center the Great Demon had mentioned, asked, "Wait... what exactly is this immigration system?"

"You don't know?" The great demon stretched out his claws and beckoned to Morty, signaling him to follow him.

The two walked through the entire office and came to a double door.

When the doors were pushed open, the noisy waiting hall was filled with angels and demons maintaining order. All sorts of strange creatures and souls were present; some were crying, some were roaring, some were cursing, and some were squatting on the ground, retching incessantly.

"To put it simply, we are the land of the dead. This is where all the dead are reported and await reincarnation!"

Chapter 061 Vegetarian Girl

"Hello, ma'am! Welcome to the Intangible Cultural Heritage Immigration Management Center! It's a pleasure to serve you!"

"Okay, please stand in front of the camera so we can perform facial recognition. Let us see your records of good and bad deeds."

"That's right. They haven't hurt anyone or killed any animals. However, several thousand mosquitoes, cockroaches, and other insects isn't a small number. But it's not a big problem; at most, their reincarnation will be delayed by a few decades."

"Hmm! Nice! This life record is quite good. You were a staunch vegetarian in your lifetime, resolutely refusing to eat any meat products, and ultimately died due to a lack of various nutrients your body needs."

"But you know that plants are living things too, right?"

Not far from the immigration counter, Morty, having heard that his grandfather's soul hadn't even come here after his death, was preparing to return to the Mirror City.

He happened to watch and overhear a vegetarian girl from Earth who had been looking quite content, but the devilish immigration officer's comment, "Plants have life too, right?" completely shattered her composure on the spot.

He couldn't help but stop and give a thumbs up to his grandfather who set up this system.

One of the groups I dislike the most in America is vegetarians.

I just wanted to enjoy a nice meat meal in the store, but you had to jump out with a tablet, show me footage of a slaughterhouse, and then yell that if there were no demand for meat, no animals would be slaughtered.

Go to hell!

You bunch of vegetarians are such busybodies!

Meat-eaters have never protested that you vegetarians are eating all the livestock's food.

And yet you bunch of bastards who steal livestock food are now protesting against the carnivores who help you eliminate livestock?

"Jesus! Fuck! I know plants are living things too! But I can't just eat air, can I?!"

"Actually... according to the new version of the entry points calculation method, substances such as oxygen cells in the air are also living things. If you think that mononuclear cells and elements cannot be considered life because they do not exist in the brain, then you are discriminating against mononuclear organisms in front of me, and this will affect your entry rating."

Knowing that she was now at the most important border crossing in her life, the vegetarian girl wisely refrained from protesting.

Mononuclear discrimination—a name that sounds serious enough—she had no reason to provoke mononuclear organisms.

Seeing this scene, Morty curled his lip and scoffed, "Sure enough, they only shout the loudest and trample on all order when it comes to infringing on others' rights. But as soon as their own interests are involved, they immediately want everything to be handled strictly by the book."

Upon hearing this, the great demon's eyes darted around, and he asked Morty with a smile, "Since you're Sanchez's grandson, you have some privileges here. How about you arrange some fun for her reincarnation?"

Morty was extremely pleased with the Great Demon's flattering words.

He usually goes on adventures with his grandfather, and even if others try to flatter or fawn over him, he doesn't fall for it at all.

This pragmatic grandfather organized many "fun" parties, but Morty never got to attend.

Now that I'm alone outside, I can finally experience the thrill of manipulating other people's lives.

Without a second thought, Morty declared, "Since she loves vegetarian food so much, let's see how far she's willing to go to protect nature!"

"Give her some superpowers?"

"Absolutely! By the way, does this place take over all the dead from all universes, or just our universe? Is it possible to reincarnate across universes?"

Morty, who is always extremely cautious, doesn't want this guy to be in his universe in his next life. He would rather he go to another universe and cause trouble for others.

"Sending a soul to another universe isn't difficult for us. After all, this universe is enough to keep us busy. If other universes wanted to take over, it would not only be troublesome but would also involve starting a war."

As the great demon spoke, he beckoned to one of his underlings, after which he noted that the gifts included random drops and a special package of natural superpowers.

The vegetarian girl was completely bewildered to discover that she had actually... skipped the process of entering the country, settling in, and waiting for reincarnation, and was going straight to being reincarnated?!

What the hell!

"What...who did this?"

"What I mean is, I'm clearly not qualified to be this fast, am I?"

The demon who was leading her away pointed to Morty and the Great Demon, who had already turned and left in the distance, and said, "Consider yourself lucky to have run into Morty. Otherwise, given the birth rate in our universe, you would probably have been in the Plant Hell for a thousand years by now."

A vegetarian girl: "I've been vegetarian for eight years, and now I have to spend a thousand years in plant hell..."

The demon said, "There's no way around it, it's a new rule. We're no longer treating everyone the same as before, but rather providing targeted services. Since you're from Earth, we'll have to be politically correct with you."

"So in the past, being vegetarian was a plus, it could get you a head start on enjoying heavenly bliss, but now you have to stay in hell to atone for your sins."

A vegetarian girl: "I'm starting to hate this stuff..."

When the demon heard this guy hate political correctness, he burst into laughter, "Hahahaha! So when it comes to hypocrisy, you humans are still the best. We demons are still playing the game of severing grudges with a single stroke, unlike you, who have taken torture and disgusting methods to a whole new level?"

When the demon realized this guy was about to interrupt, it preemptively said, "If you're going to discuss demonic traditions with me, I'll accuse you of having a head full of stereotypes about demons."

"If you're trying to say that those things are just about protecting this and that, avoiding hurting other people's feelings, then I can tell you that all that hypocrisy is a complete joke in the land of the dead."

"Because all your identities in the material world have come to an end."

After the demon finished speaking, he led the vegetarian girl, who dared not speak, toward the tram.

My grandfather helped modernize and computerize this place, finally replacing the muddy roads and oxcarts that had plagued the devils for millions of years with clean and fast trams.

After getting on the bus and traveling for three hours, the demon finally arrived at the reincarnation zone and submitted a special application for the Great Demon.

The vegetarian girl sat down on a chair.

“In the past, we used a deep well method, where people would fall into it to create an immersive experience, and that was it. Now you can sit and walk around, aren’t you happy?”

The vegetarian girl, both amused and exasperated, said helplessly, "I've been dead for less than six hours, I don't know anything, and I just..."

"Goodbye~" Before the vegetarian girl could finish speaking, the demon suddenly pressed a button on the control panel.

A stream of energy, capable of penetrating the walls of the universe, enveloped the vegetarian girl and headed towards a certain universe.

But during the flight, it gently bumped into a strange creature from a higher dimension.

Not only did it deviate from its original trajectory, but due to the laws of time, time also moved forward slightly...

"Jesus! These intercosmic events are happening more and more often, and... um? Are you looking at me? What are you looking at? Lower your head! Look at your one-centimeter embroidery needle!"

Chapter 062 You're still alive after all.

After watching Morty return to the Mirror City through the portal.

The demon turned to the angels' work area and shouted, "Rick, your grandson is already here, why don't you go see him?"

"Or is he not your grandson?"

"Fuck, you bunch of Ricks never want to stay put in one universe. You always have to run around, making it impossible for us to tell you apart."

Grandpa stood up from his work area, a look of contentment on his face. Holding a bottle of strong liquor, he took a sip and replied, "Do you know how long I've worked so hard?"

"Now that everyone finally thinks I'm dead, of course I want to take this opportunity to take a vacation. I don't want to go back so soon."

"Heh..." The great demon sneered, his eyes filled with disdain.

Grandpa chose his universe not only because Morty was special, but also because heaven and hell existed in this universe.

In some universes, there is no such thing as a soul after a person dies.

So who wouldn't love a universe where the soul can survive after death?

Seeing that his grandfather was definitely not going to leave him anytime soon, the Great Demon shook his head and left.

Rick has to go through all this trouble to keep working in the city, so when will this great devil get a break?

Sigh! Who told me to work overtime to the point of exhaustion in my past life, sacrificing my family for work!

Time to get to work!

After the Great Demon left, Grandpa, in his spirit form, looked at the portal and felt a strong urge to go back, but ultimately resisted the urge.

Because he knew Morty's potential, and that if he left long enough, Morty would definitely surprise him.

So... what the hell are you doing back here?

Morty, who had only been gone for a few seconds, suddenly turned back, startling Grandpa so much that his hand trembled and the bottle in his hand fell to the ground.

The two locked eyes, and Grandpa had a million curses swirling in his mind that he wanted to hurl at Morty!
