The answer is already well covered in other SO questions here and here, so start with those.
The short answer is: it's likely not encrypted, but stored as Lua bytecode for obfuscation pusposes. You can read/convert the bytecode (and figure out what the script does), but not without knowledge of Lua scripting. Nobody on SO would do this for you.

That doesn't look like bytecode to me. Look what the escapes decode to. – Joseph Sible-Reinstate Monica Jul 24 '21 at 17:53

The escapes don't look like a lua code to me. If it's an unmodified `load`, then it's either a Lua source code or its bytecode. If it's a modified `load` function, then it can be anything. – Paul Kulchenko Jul 24 '21 at 18:14

The first character is `\98`. Lua bytecode always starts with `\27`. That looks to me like Lua source code with random variable names. – Joseph Sible-Reinstate Monica Jul 24 '21 at 18:18
