The Rise of Otaku Chapter 335

Chapter 335: Chapter 335 Who Should They Choose?

Translator: Doggotranslation

Freedom, this flag was always erected on the moral high ground. Seeing the current state of life of the citizens of the prisoners' kingdom, Zhou Yu knew that once this concept was put forward, it could never be forgotten.

At the moment, citizens could tolerate this kind of prisoner-like lifestyle because they were fed up with the lack of order, but once they got used to an orderly life, they would start to yearn for freedom. Once there was another foolish person like the former Queen, the prisoner kingdom's nightmare may happen again.

Just like falling into an endless cycle, tragedies would repeat again and again. The founder of this endless cycle was the knowledgeable old man in front of him.

It could be seen that the interest of the old man was very high. Because very few people in the prisoner's kingdom were willing to study knowledge, and it was a rare thing for someone to have an academic debate with other people, especially on the last night before the execution.

“As soon as I see you, I understand that you are not a citizen of the prisoner's kingdom. You probably come from a free country. Are you telling me that what I am doing is wrong in your country?”

Zhou Yu was really speechless. He was about to be excused, but he still cared about whether his ideology was correct. He didn't know if he should scold him or admire him. However, what Zhou Yu had learned at University has basically been forgotten completely by him, so he didn't want to discuss this with the old man.

“I'm just a nobody, and I dare not to debate anything with a knowledgeable person like you. However, in my opinion, although your idea is great, you don't have the abilities to turn your idea into reality, nor do you have like-minded partners who work together for the same idea. All you did was to hastily spread the ideas without thinking about consequences, and then gathered a group of incompetent people. It was you who brought chaos to this kingdom and harmed its citizens, so saying that you are a fool is not harsh at all.”

The reason why Zhou Yu was here was not to condemn Shi Honglie's mistakes, but to find the key to the next level. He has clearly helped Xiao Guang to gain control of the kingdom, but there was no signal showing that he cleared the level, which was really strange. Could it be that he hasn't explored all the elements in this level?

To explore all the possible hidden elements, Zhou Yu has seen many people in the past few days, and the old man was the last one.

However, after listening to Zhou Yu, Shi Honglie didn't say anything. It made Zhou Yu wonder what he was thinking. After waiting a while, and seeing that there was no sign of the old man wanting to give out any clues, Zhou Yu couldn't help but urge: “Old man, tomorrow is the day of exile, don't you have anything you want to leave behind?”

This reminder was obvious enough. For a knowledgeable person, the old man should be able to understand him.

However, Shi Honglie shook his head and stopped talking.

God Dammnit, is it possible that the key is not with someone, but it is hidden somewhere? But the prisoner's kingdom is so big, how am I going to find it?

Back to the central royal room, there were only two people, Xiao Guang and Xiao Yue. Due to the years of prison life, it was not easy for them to believe in others. Only Zhou Yu, the story king, was an exception.

However, Xiao Guang's current state of mind wasn't stable, and Zhou Yu could see it clearly.

It was understandable that he wanted revenge, but it was really difficult to decide what to do with Shi Honglie, such a complicated enemy. In the past two days, Xiao Guang has become a bit irritable, and even Xiao Yue has been shouted at twice by him, and the others were even more afraid to talk to him. The only person that could talk to him was probably Zhou Yu. However, telling stories was one thing, psychological counseling was another thing. He didn't know how to solve Xiao Guang's problem at all.

“I just came back from Shi Honglie and scolded him fiercely, it felt very good, maybe you should try it too.”

Since the last encounter on the top of the kingdom, Xiao Guang hasn't seen Shi Honglie again. Obviously, there was a hurdle in his heart. Only in front of Zhou Yu, Xiao Guang regained the look of the little boy, feeling helpless and distressed, but he still gritted his teeth and refused to see Shi Honglie.

Regarding the punishment of Shi Honglie, Zhou Yu didn't have any opinions about it, no matter how good his nature was, no matter how good his original intention was, no matter how great his ideology was, if he messed it up, he should be punished for the actions he did.

However, if this hurdle wasn't solved, Xiao Guang would always feel guilty about exiling Shi Honglie, and as time passed, perhaps, it would even cause some psychological problems.

Failing to persuade Xiao Guang to face Shi Honglie again, there was only one method left in Zhou Yu's mind.

But is that the only way to do it? To be honest, Zhou Yu was really reluctant to do what he was thinking. After all, to him, a child shouldn't have to experience this. Once he really did it, the only trusted outsider in Xiao Guang's heart would disappear completely, and even the most trusted relative would turn against him, which might cause even more terrible consequences.

However, this level has not been cleared, perhaps it was because the wrong person was chosen to be in charge of the kingdom. Although he felt sorry for Xiao Guang, he had no other choice now.

The next day, the day of exile.

Wearing a robe and a crown, Xiao Guang sat on the throne with an indifferent expression. No one was able to see through his inner thoughts.

Next to him was Xiao Yue who was dressed in splendid clothes. With enough food, she slowly recovered her healthy complexion, but only a touch of sorrow remained on her eyebrows. Anxiously glancing at Zhou Yu, she hoped he was correct. Her older brother shouldn't be a cold person like her father.

The time was up, and the exile event finally began.

All the citizens were asked to watch the execution. Watching the bad people that always bullied them in the past few years being forced to jump off the springboards that stretched out from the edge one by one, the citizens burst out cheers from time to time. Because there were too many people that had been harmed by these gangs in the past five years, every white name hated them so much that they even wanted to eat them alive.

However, when it was the turn of the Freedom Army, two different voices suddenly appeared.

One was to plead with the new king, and they were mostly the white names from area 001 to 005, because they lived a normal life under the protection of the Freedom Army. The people outside the 005 area felt a bit complicated, because in those years, those free areas were the place they wanted to live in the most. Unfortunately, the free areas were too far away from other areas, and there was no way they would be able to reach it in 10 minutes. But now that order has returned, naturally more people want to punish Shi Honglie, who caused them to live a hell-like life in those years.

“Exile Shi Honglie!”

A provisional court was set up, and a judge-like person sentenced Shi Honglie to be exiled along with the list of crimes he did.

However, at the moment Shi Honglie stepped onto the springboard, a clear voice rang out: “Wait!”

This voice was Xiao Yue's.

“As Queen, I am pardoning Teacher Shi Honglie's crime.”

As soon as she said this, all the people were shocked. Wasn't there a king already? How come she was a queen? And which one should they listen to?
