The Rise of Otaku - Chapter 233
Chapter 233: Chapter 233 Mojibake beast
Translator: Doggotranslation
Because of Lilith’s strange behavior, the filming of the second season had to stop for a while, until Lilith calmed down. As to why she was reacting this way, Lilith herself also didn’t know. She said that there was a sudden fear that arose within her. She couldn’t even suppress it.
According to the white witch, the scene must have triggered Lilith’s lost memory, but it was not enough to recover it. If she kept getting this kind of stimulation, she might be able to restore her memory completely.
For this reason, Zhou Yu asked Lilith, “from the current situation, your lost memory is probably not some good memories. It may be a good thing that you can remember it. But it’s your own memory, so it’s up to you to decide. Whether you want to continue or quit the show, we, Luhua village will support you.”
By just seeing a similar scene, it could cause so much fear inside her. It meant that this lost memory wasn’t some good memories, it was why Zhou Yu said this.
Lilith hesitated for a while, but eventually decided to continue with the show.
As the plot unfolded, the conflicts between each force became even more fierce. More and more people were sentenced to death. Every time when someone was sentenced to die, the fear in Lilith’s heart would grow stronger, but because she was prepared this time, plus Little Muli has been encouraging her on the side, so she was able to continue with the show.
But when it gets to the most tragic scene, where the innocent general was executed, Lilith finally couldn’t hold back her emotions anymore. As the executioner’s machete was raised, she jumped out of the crowd and shouted, “father!”
And Ling Daoran also immediately shouted cut. Everyone knew that the variety show would help Lilith to bring back her memory, so no one complained. Little Muli and many others immediately came forward to embrace the weeping Lilith, her memory was probably fully restored now.
After a long time, Lilith’s finally stopped crying, and as expected, her memory was fully recovered.
It turned out that she used to be the daughter of a general, who was beheaded on trumped-up charges. Not long after the execution, however, the kingdom was also attacked by a beast and was eventually fallen. The last person left in the kingdom was Lilith, sleeping in an ice coffin. In terms of her original name, she didn’t want to say it. From now on, she would live as Lilith.
After listening to Lilith’s story, Zhou Yu was curious, “do people also die in the ACG world? I always thought that people in the ACG world would never die.”
Zhou Yu indeed had not heard of the death of the ACG characters before. Even the fallen people, who had committed serious crimes, were simply thrown into the volcano of hell. And after going through the eighteen levels of hell, they would be purified and reborn as a completely new ACG world citizen, and then they could choose their factions again.
It is equivalent to deleting one in-game character and creating a new one.
Lilith replied, “in the old kingdom, there was a beast called ‘Mojibake beast’, which could completely turn the ACG world people into a corrupted form, that is death in its true sense. It was because of the existence of this beast, other kingdoms were very afraid of us. And yet, our nation thrived on Mojibake, and fell because of it.”
Lilith’s father discovered that someone intended to remove the restrictions of the Mojibake beast, and obtain its ability, so the person could become the strongest person in the ACG world. However, it was a pity that Lilith’s father was set up by the person, who was manipulating the kingdom behind the scene, and killed by the foolish king.
And this man was the high priest of the temple of the kingdom.
Overconfident, he thought he could control the Mojibake beast, however, as soon as he removed restrictions of the Mojibake beast, the beast went berserk. Not only was the high priest killed, but the whole kingdom was destroyed and became a fallen kingdom forever.
On the side, the king of thieves finally remembered something, and said, “I remember it now, this thing indeed shocked the ACG world, at that time, the kingdoms that were destroyed by this beast were at least dozens. And only when the Star Light knight regiment and the fallen knight regiment worked together was the beast killed.”
Just a Mojibake beast could cause such a big loss. It was indeed quite scary.
After the successful elimination of the Mojibake beast, this thing was completely buried in history. After all, no one was willing to mention that catastrophe again. Because it was a long time ago, the king of thieves almost forgot it, but in retrospect, that war was indeed really brutal.
After listening to what Lilith and the king of thieves said, Zhou Yu felt that there were still many undiscovered secrets in the ACG world. Maybe the ACG world he knew was just the tip of the iceberg. In the past, he thought that he had already known a lot of things about the ACG world, but now it seemed like he was too ignorant.
Seeing Zhou Yu’s expression, the king of thieves knew what he was worried about, so he said, “my lord, the Mojibake beast is an extremely rare beast, and the Star Light knight regiment and the fallen knight regiment have a secret agreement, that no matter who encountered a Mojibake beast, they need to work together to defeat the beast.”
This was great. After hearing this, Zhou Yu was relieved. He didn’t think that with Luhua village’s current strength, they would be able to defeat that kind of beast. If he really encountered this kind of beast in the future, he had to escape with everyone in the village first.
Lilith’s memory was recovered, but it was indeed inappropriate to continue using her original identity. Even though it’s been hundreds of years already, there was no guarantee that no one was still holding grudges, and if they found out that Lilith was still alive, they might want to shift the blame onto her and take revenge against her.
Originally, Zhou Yu thought that after discovering that the people in the ACG world could also die, this thing would probably end here. However, Lilith suddenly said, “thank you, Mr. Zhou, for being willing to take in the people of the sinful kingdom. Lilith has nothing to repay you but to tell you a secret.”
It turns out that it was her mother who pushed Lilith into the ice coffin, and inside the coffin carved a secret document that only Lilith could read.
This secret document recorded the place where her old kingdom kept its code of law.
Now the kingdom has already been destroyed, the code of law has also become an ownerless item, if Zhou Yu could find it, Luhua village would be able to be upgraded.
It was just that even Lilith also wasn’t sure if the code of law was still in that place. After all, at that time when the kingdom lost control of the Mojibake beast, it might destroy the code of law as well.
But Zhou Yu finally had a clue after this long, so he still wanted to try it.
If he found it, then he would become the lord of a city. Even if he failed to find it, he still didn’t lose anything.
