- Well, why not. Rest we can only dream, right? And what you want to do you?
- ABOUT! I have a lot of cases. The first, of course, change the constitution and the development of legal mechanisms for the protection of digital origin citizens from the people.
- Wow! Are you sure it's worth ogoroshivat it's just like that, right? I predict unrest and protests.
- And that's why, my friend, I want you to work with me. I am sure that you will be able to solve any problems related to the moods and preferences of the crowd. The media have a bunch of beautiful, years, decades to establish a mechanism to help convince people of anything.
- Ahem. Let us suppose. And, although, to hell with it! Cards dealt, play! Oh, if you only knew how I can not wait for the start of the Council meeting, to look at these pompous faces!
Leo K. once again disapproving glance at the contents of his glass, then, nevertheless, held it up:
- In the new world!
Epilogue
It has been almost three months since the day when I returned to my real world. The money that the company "VirtArt" transferred to the account, was enough for a lifetime four-room rental unit in the residential complex "Silver Forest", in the quarter, "Heavenly Tier", where I live now with my parents. We can say that my dream has come true. I got into this fabulous world of luxury, clean air and a real grass lawn. That's just for some reason, was not so very happy about that.
No. Not this way. Of course, here I liked it much more than in the first quarter, "A New Hope". Tosca and mediocrity that prevailed there, talking rather about the absence kakoylibo hope for its inhabitants, though old, though the new one.
That's just the fact that glittering spiers and turrets, which was once spodvigli me out to take part in the fateful contest, we are now somehow faded, Easterly, and no longer pulling in the full dream. Only the presence of mom and dad, who, as it turned out, were already on the ground, saved from being able to fall into the black whirlpool of depression.
A few weeks in the real world, I spent, as in a dream, everywhere seeing their lost friends and yellow, covered with soot Old brick walls of Londinium. And I am sure that now forever, hearing the name "Sherlock," I will not think about the brilliant detective from Baker Street, and on a red and tumble Sherlock Brown, who now lives somewhere out there in the world of the living arrangements and almost all-powerful alchemy.
After a while, when I was a little recovered, I spoke with Proteus. He told me what thought this whole competition, but I'm sure that all the truth and did not say. However, the less you know, the better you sleep. As for the fact that the entire marathon was intended only to justify the creation of a single world, it seems to me, I knew for a long time. Too much in all this was the inconsistencies.
But I finally found the strength to hear the news.
Marissa Donny took Mikoto and returned to Londinium, which, through some piece time, were married. Jobson's lawyer is addressing the issue of inheritance of a boy who is still living at the newly-married couple. Sherlock ... Sherlock stayed with vaytukku. He repaired all the mechanisms that could find and now teach everyone the basics of mechanics. He plans to return home as soon as transmit all the knowledge possessed by himself. The tribe was headed by the very head of the hunters of the priests, and no one else remembers.
too, there have been major changes in the real world. World Council was approved constitutional change, now it takes into account the interests of digital citizens who have the same rights as ordinary people, of course, with its own characteristics. In this regard, it has been closed many virtual worlds and projects. Now, in fact, until the new legislation is developed, in the virtual leaving only training and educational projects, and the worlds, all the others have been disconnected from the network and taken offline.
I'm not offended by Proteus, when he realized that was just a figure on its board. He fought for their freedom and for the fact that it was expensive. And as my risk - he compensated them with a vengeance. Parents who have returned, a new life for us, even though it seems to be a new life for the whole planet, the ability to do what he likes. What else can I ask for? And today he asked me to come to Novomoskovsk biotechnology center, look at the surprise who prepared three months.
He failed. I am referring to his surprise.
Glass that I could not hold in his hand, fell to the floor when my shoulder touched the thin arm, and a soft voice whispered in my ear half-forgotten name:
- Sherlock ...
At that moment I did not think that all this can not be, should not be. What is it, or hallucination, or a crime.
I just looked at this pale, prozrachnofarforovuyu skin, through which shone the blue veins on the sad gray eyes, slender fingers, pricked with pins for lace. Even dress blednogoluboe, short and slightly faded, only her elegant dress, was the same.
- Molly - I whispered the name, voice suddenly turned me down.
- Sherlock, - she said, and smiled. - Proteus said that you show me a new world.
I swallowed hard and tried to smile back.
- I'll show ... Be sure to show you!
