The multi-select field you referenced appears to be stored in PHP serialized format, which is used for “storing or passing PHP values around without losing their type and structure”.
To unserialize a custom field value you need to use the unserialize() function:
$multi_select_field = unserialize( get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), 'custom_field_key', true ) );
