Bringing Culture to a Different World



1028 Chapter 1,52nd Beginner’s lesson

April sat in the seat that the orange cat had assigned her.

She placed Lietta, who had her head buried in her fingers, on the seat beside her. Suddenly, the surroundings fell into darkness.

April did not like this kind of environment, especially when there were humans and lizard people around.

But the Orange Cat was sitting on the other side of her. April could only raise her vigilance and pay attention to the movements of the humans around her.

The dark wall in the distance suddenly lit up with a ray of light. Before April realized what had happened, a female voice sounded in her ear.

“November 5th, November 5th. Remember November 5th, the Gunpowder Plot. I know that there is absolutely no reason for the gunpowder plot to be forgotten.”

Who was speaking?

April looked around. She sat in the last row of the entire theater. This row was specially arranged for her by Jose, so there was no one else besides her and her sister.

So April could only see the back of the audience’s heads, but the scene that lit up in front of April’s eyes answered her doubts.

It was a man pushing a trolley. From the subtitles attached to the scene, April figured out that the man wanted to blow up the ruler’s council chamber.

But he failed… a group of soldiers caught him and sent the man to the execution platform the next second.

Was this the performance that the Orange Cat was talking about?

April looked at the man in the picture who was about to be hanged. She didn’t know how the picture was projected on the wall.

But the execution scene in the picture was very familiar to April. This kind of public execution was very common in blackbay city.

“He wanted to blow up the city Lord’s mansion. When was this madman caught?”

“I’ve never seen him being executed.”

April vaguely heard the discussions of the people around her. Anyone who disobeyed the ruler in this city would not have a good ending.

Not to mention the crime of wanting to blow up the ruler’s council hall. This was a heinous crime..

This was a line that no one in blackbay city dared to touch.

“Who is this man?”

April looked at the man hanging on the gallows. She did not remember executing such a daring human.

“It is not important who he is. What is important is the thought that he represents,”the Orange Cat gave April a reply that she could not understand.

“Thought?”April looked at the subtitles below the screen, at this moment, she recalled a line from the narrator: “A person may be caught, executed, and will die… but the thought is different. Even in the future, the thought still has the ability to change the world.”

“The execution is over. Can I leave now?”

When the man in the scene was hanged on the execution platform, April stood up impatiently from her seat.

To be honest, she was a little dissatisfied with the execution. That scene should be an illusion magic. In short, it was definitely not a real person. Moreover, it was the most boring type of execution.

The result was that no one in the audience felt fear. There were even many people who mocked the man in the scene for overestimating himself.

Therefore, April did not receive much useful energy.

“The execution is over, but the performance is not over yet.”The Orange Cat pointed at the chair behind April with its tail, indicating for her to continue sitting down.

“What else?”

When April asked this question, a line of words was projected on the screen, ‘the near future’.

After this line of words disappeared, the screen lit up again. On the screen, a beautiful girl and… a man wearing a mask were putting on makeup.

On the other side of their room, there was a projection of a crystal, and in the projection, there was a man talking non-stop.

April sat down and watched the development of the screen on the wall, judging from the passionate explanation of the man in the projection.

She was almost certain that everything in the screen was definitely related to Blackbay city, and just seeing the word “Laughter mixture”was enough.

The girl named Ivy was in a similar situation as blackbay city. Abel had many human scouts under him. It was common for them to act recklessly against their own kind just because they were scouts.

However, at the critical moment, that strange man wearing a mask suddenly appeared and knocked the group of scouts unconscious.

“Who is he?”

April frowned. The inspectors were the management of this city. Any human who dared to attack the inspectors would have a terrible ending.

Joshua did not answer April. The masked stranger in the movie introduced his identity with very dramatic lines and performances.

When he took out his two knives and drew a letter on the poster behind him, April already knew his name, ‘v’.

“V? What is this person trying to do…”

April wanted to ask the orange cat too many questions, but the orange cat still chose to remain silent. If Nolan’s fans were present, they would probably make the girl shut her mouth and watch the movie obediently.

The plot was still progressing. V invited the female lead to attend a concert of his..

“Play… Music? This city doesn’t allow it…”

Another new question came out of April’s mouth. However, before she could finish her sentence, she heard the sound of the symphony.

April had only read about music from human books, but she had never heard about it personally.

However, she did not have the time to sit down and enjoy it. In the scene, a building quickly collapsed in the explosion.

“How Beautiful!”

The V in the scene said these words with a joyful voice amidst the sound of the explosion.

When April saw this scene, she immediately stood up. Her pupils reflected the scene of fireworks scattering in all directions.

“This… isn’t something that happened in Blackbay City, right?”April looked at the orange cat sitting beside her and asked.

“Who knows? It might be the future of Blackbay City,”the orange cat gave a very vague answer to April.

April bit her lower lip and sat back down on her chair.

She was worried about what she was seeing… what was happening.

If that guy named V really blew up a building in Blackbay city, her elder sister would destroy the entire city, and April would have no place to hide.

But judging from the Orange Cat’s description, everything in the picture was fake?

“It’s impossible for this to happen in the future,”April said to the orange cat with certainty.

“Why?”

Jose glanced at the lizard elder who was sitting in the front row. Indeed, no one in Blackbay city planned to blow up the buildings, but there was a group of lizards planning to blow up the entire city!

“Humans don’t have such courage. They know what the price of resistance will be.”

April looked at the audience who were as surprised and confused as he was.

“Then why don’t we just give them courage?”The Orange Cat’s round face seemed to have a faint smile on it. “Let me give you a spoiler of the content of this movie. This is a beginner’s teaching about how to fight against a brutal ruler.”

“Beginner’s teaching?”

April was stunned for a moment. He glanced at the masked stranger named V. What he did was indeed challenging the political power of the ruler.

“HMM, by the way, the content is only fiction. Don’t imitate it. However, there’s no such reminder in the movie, so the audience doesn’t know,”the Orange Cat’s teasing voice whispered in April’s ear.
