In the headset, you still can not hear anything except rare interference. I carefully look around and decide that today I have enough. On four sides ten pieces of menacing creatures, distantly similar to monkeys, are steadily approaching me. I cast a farewell glance at the space around and take a step forward to the rushing creature. The creature in joyful anticipation becomes on its hind legs and, loudly champing, jumps on me. I whisper into the moustachio microphone - "forward." And the world falls into emptiness.

I look at myself as if from the side. Blackness envelops me from all sides. I'm used to it, I'm not afraid anymore. Because it is worthwhile to give in at least once - and all is lost. You will forever remain the servant of the queen of darkness. A chilling breeze gently pushes me in the back, my heart leaps down and a rapidly growing spot of light appears ahead.

Not a strong blow to the eyes. The sun's rays glide over my face and I turn my head to the summer wind. “Profits,” whispers Vizomon.

Trees grow around, and water splashes right under your feet. It seems that I can feel the salty taste on my lips. “Ten minutes before arrival,” the fifth generation operator can think at a decent level. For example, remind the right thing in time. A gust of wind hits a wave in my back and splashes of cool salt water fall on my face. And I look down on the foaming water and order the Visomon to take off the parameters of this planet.

Behind me, a powerful hum rumbles softly. I turn around - it's customers arrived. I order the visomon to create on the water a walking flyer of an expensive, but common model. Now I am ready.

Two people leave the shuttle at once. Not one of them is a bodyguard, not one of them carries a weapon. I regret to understand that it is unlikely that I can get away from them if it is needed. We'll have to bluff.

Men come up to me, one of them stretches his lips in a thin strip and stretches his hand. I automatically shake her. Heck! The first round has already been won.

“Conductor,” in his voice, it sounds like he was talking about a second-class man. So you can say to the loader or trader of low-quality sha, a small animal from the planet Dara - are you from Earth?

I silently nod my head.

“Greetings, oh Kharyam-san,” now it's my turn to bend my fingers — the score has become 1: 1.

“You are smart, but not enough to be too insightful.” You have nothing to get out of here, - the man frowns in disgust - in the earpiece the voice of the visomon is heard, - “is the hologram destroyed - restored?”. I shake my head. I am already tired of this show esthete.

“You have exactly three minutes, then I leave,” I turn and start walking toward the sea.

- Conductor, you have just received a large amount of money into your accounts - and this is only an advance payment - I turn around and wait for the Japanese, and for some reason, it seemed to me from the history lessons, that the Chinese had the most widespread population, would come up to me and stretch data plate.

- I nod well, taking the plate.

- Wait, you'll have to follow all the instructions listed there, ok?

Of course, a bit strange, but the Japanese have a different opinion about rituals and traditions.

- Yes, I agree.

Moving is possible in fifteen seconds - the visomon tells me. I turn around and look at the Japanese. They are not even going to turn away, but although: let them look, I don’t care. I insert the plate into the sleeve, zip up the suit and give the command to increase the helmet. Here, now everything. I step into the void. All you have to imagine is how you step into the void. It is not difficult, but it needs to learn. I spread my arms to the side and give my body to emptiness. We are one with her.

I read everything that was on the record. And even that, how much money was given to me.It is usually considered bad form to pay the conductors a little, but this time: Now I could live comfortably for a very, very long time. Three years. Probably. And the first thing I did was buy myself more useful things. Of course, I'm used to the old suit, but the new, the best model, the best company. Brand That's cool. For him, do not even feel sorry for dying. Now, I had become not just a visomon, but a visomon-ultra, protection systems appeared on the suit - an automatic gluon turret with an intelligent sight. That's cool.

I looked at my watch and turned on the music. Meeting soon The task is very simple - to deliver the person to the destination. But there is one thing. No one has yet escaped from the prison of the Federal Protection Service, they simply haven’t let anyone out. This is not good, especially since after last time they had doubts about the existence of us, the conductors.

It is not recommended to use even a very experienced professional to use a zero tunnel more than once a day. No scientist has yet given a normal explanation for this phenomenon, none but us, the conductors. According to the charter, we are forbidden to use a zero-tunnel for personal needs, except in cases that pose a danger to life, except when information about zero is at risk, and, of course, except when the services of a conductor are used directly. The ability to disappear and appear at any point, depending on the desire and willpower of a person, is very expensive to be valued, so not all security services are even suspicious.

However, there is one thing. After passing the tunnel, you can not stop. When you are in it, you give it your energy, your body gives it to him. In exchange, you receive an ability that cannot be obtained or exchanged, it can be opened in yourself. It is rather difficult to talk about it, but with all this it happens differently, probably, therefore, there is still no one who would be superfluous among us. It is difficult to explain, and it is not necessary, who knows, he will understand. For someone, all they have to do is raise their hands, close their eyes, and pass through the barrier. Each of us feels a pulse differently, but it is so, there is a pulse, and when you feel it, you become a conductor. It does not oblige you to anything, you just can navigate through the worlds. You just have to fall into emptiness, give your body and will to nobody you know and why, and each time you get incomparable pleasure in return, strange ecstasy, all your senses turn inside out, and this is like a drug, the more you want, the more you receive, and someday you will forever stay there, in a black, cold and sweet emptiness.

But the conductor should conduct, he almost never refuses anyone, because he is a conductor, he doesn’t care whom

“The final countdown is fifteen minutes,” the visomon said in a soft voice, now he has a timbre. Well, you need to be a man at least once.

Out of habit, I looked around - I was sitting in a cafe of a small metropolis on a developed colony of the Earth - Santiago. Reluctantly, I got up, finishing my juice while I was walking, and I looked at the lean and tired faces of the people. That's right, you can not live like that. Go to work every day and come back, look at a visor in the evening and play a virtualka with a party in the evening. You can not do it this way. Because it is like everyone else. Because it is the same thing. Because so you can get lost in the global crowd of gray creatures that call themselves humans. You can not do it this way! I do not want. That's why I'm still a conductor, that's why I still haven't become a man. I'm afraid of the crowd.

I threw away a glass and went to the toilet. He critically examined himself in the mirror - his eyes were slightly red, his hair was strained, and his clothes were slightly dented. It looks like a frequent visitor to virtuals or night clubs. May use psychotropic aids. And, perhaps, if you look into your very eyes, then you can see a trace of cold, a piece of ice forever frozen in our soul. Seal of the Queen of the Void. There is no one in the toilet: Anyway, a bad planet, I think, and I say to the visor - "Erase from the base." “Made” - ...
