The Rise of Otaku

The face of the man in the black robe finally appeared, although half of the face had been disfigured and become corrupted code, Lilith could still recognize him. He was her father, the general of the dragon’s wing army.

Didn’t this bro die a long ago? How can he still organize so many people to stay in the homeland, and guard the ruins of their old kingdom?

Overwhelmed with joy, Lilith tried to hug her father, but was stopped by the general, “the curse of Mojibake is spread by physical contact, that’s why it is forbidden to exist. Go back, Lilith, your Lord seems to be a good person, but we can no longer leave this land.”

This problem became even more difficult to deal with. No wonder the mini people of the ACG world were scared to come here. This place was clearly a zombie land. Probably the Star Light city and the fallen city had some kind of mechanism to prevent people, who had been infected by Mojibake from getting out.

“General, wasn’t you executed by the foolish king? How did you survive?” Zhou Yu asked curiously.

General responded with a wry smile, “I was rescued by my personal guards during the execution. The one that was beheaded wasn’t me. When the Mojibake beast was wreaking havoc in the city I tried to defeat it with my personal guards. However, not only couldn’t we do it, but we were cursed by it. At first, it was just me, and then the people near me. By the time I noticed that it was contagious, it was already too late. The small group of dragon’s wing army that followed me back to the kingdom were all infected.”

Worst of all, they couldn’t get close to the Mojibake beast, because the closer they got to the beast, the faster the curse would spread. And in the end, they would become the Mojibake’s minions. Therefore, the general did not participate in the fight, later on, he could only watch it from a distance.

After the Star Light knight’s regiment and the fallen knight’s regiment left, the Star Light alliance and the Fallen Horde worked together to set up a restriction in this area. Those who were infected could no longer leave here. Whenever adventurers saw Mojibake people after they came here, they would be scared into running away immediately and never dare to come back to this place again.

Over time, this place became a no-go place.

Although the source of Mojibake was determined, the king of thieves also couldn’t do anything. After all, even the higher-ups of the Star Light city and the Fallen City also didn’t know how to remove this curse, they could only put restrictions here to prevent people that were infected from leaving this place.

Helplessly, the king of thieves and Lilith returned to Zhou Yu with this information.

Dang-it, this quest chain is a little difficult. The high-level curse was difficult to remove. He didn’t even know how to remove Bai Mo’s curse let alone the curse that was even more difficult than Bai Mo’s.

However, since it was Mojibake, Zhou Yu suddenly remembered a person, who might be able to solve this problem, and that person was the mysterious man in the underground of Luhua village. This mysterious man was versed in the computer, he had helped him to fend off the hackers from the real world, so he should be able to help him with this mojibake right?

Thinking of this, Zhou Yu immediately used an item called, “transmission totem”. This item actually made of two parts, the mother totem, and the child totem. The child totem could contact the mother totem at any time and from anywhere. It was just like a Public telephone, the only difference was that Zhou Yu did not need to pay to use it.

At the moment, the mother totem was placed in Zhou Yu’s room, once connected, it would send out a sharp sound, little Muli and other children should be able to hear it.

As Zhou Yu expected, after it was connected, little Muli’s voice soon appeared, “is this dad? It’s the first time I’ve used a totem. It’s very fun.”

Then the voice of the little Firefly also appeared, “my turn, my turn! Old man, what happened? Did someone kick your ass outside? Don’t worry, I will immediately bring the second knight’s mount regiment to assist you! Tell me, do you want me to break those people’s left legs or right legs?”

Such a delinquent girl. Little Firefly was getting more and more violent recently.

“Stop that now, Firefly, can you go get the hedgehog Rubin at once, I have something urgent here.”

Then Firefly quickly left to find the hedgehog, and Little Muli was still chatting with her father over the totem. Soon, even Kaka and Benben also joined in. After all, they seldom had the chance to use this kind of interesting toy.

Little Muli kept telling Zhou Yu what happened in the village for the last two days. There wasn’t anything big. It was nothing but Little Firefly had caught some criminals again or the flying bird knights had caught some extreme fans, who wanted to cause troubles again. However, there was still one interesting thing. After the death band’s concert finished, the composition condition of a fallen composer was finally clarified, that was, the number of fallen city citizens that had been captured under a territory reached a certain requirement.

Those who were sent to the fallen cities would become the death spirits of the flower of music. They would be cleansed from their sins after death and given a chance to be reborn. But those who were reborn using this method would still be the fallen city’s citizen, and perhaps one day, they would commit crimes again. However, while they were waiting to become the death spirits, they would also be tortured in the fallen city.

Death Is Rebirth, the rules of the fallen city really had a dark taste.

After a while, Rubin the hedgehog finally came over. After listening to what Zhou Yu said, he simply said, “I will be right back.” and then left immediately. It seemed that the mysterious man was quite interested in mojibake. Otherwise, Rubin wouldn’t have given him this kind of response.

Soon, Rubin, the hedgehog came back, “please capture a section of Mojibake back, he will parse the Mojibake, and get the source code to crack Mojibake. But do be careful, you must use the item ‘water prison’. Otherwise, once Mojibake began to spread in Luhua village, Luhua village would become a barren land.”

This request was actually not difficult, because the dragon’s wing army had hundreds of people, and all of them had some parts that were infected by Mojibake. Cutting off an arm or something was not difficult for them. The only trouble was that this thing could only be done by Zhou Yu because it would be very dangerous for the king of thieves and other people to do it.

After all, Zhou Yu was from the real world, he was not afraid of this kind of infection.

But cutting off a person’s arm, even if it was the mini people of the ACG world, Zhou Yu still didn’t have the heart to do it. In the end, he could only grit his teeth, take the small meal knife and cut it.

Zhou Yu did not know if the soldier was a tough guy, or if it didn’t hurt to cut off the corrupted part, but he just wrapped himself up again without uttering a single painful noise. But soon the part that was cut off immediately grew back again. It seemed like cutting off the corrupted part would not be able to remove the curse.

Carefully using the item ‘water prison’ to wrap up the corrupted part, and then through item ‘eight trigrams logistics’, Zhou Yu could send the package back to Luhua village.

‘Eight trigrams logistics’, and ‘transmission totem’ were actually very similar, it was just one was for transmitting voice, and the other was for teleporting packages. Zhou Yu had also asked Little Muli and other children to stay away from the mother trigrams. This thing could only be handled by the hedgehog Rubin. After all, he was also a professional.

Rubin had also reinstalled the mother trigrams under the ground. In case of a leak, he could just block it under the ground. Moreover, this was also the request of the mysterious man. And as Zhou Yu expected, he was very interested in studying such things.

“Rubin, how long will it take?”

“He said it will take three days. You can rest for three days. once he is able to crack the Mojibake, you will need to prepare for receiving the detoxification source code.”

That’s pretty fast.
