After these words, Gideon looked at the highway, which appeared not far away, then looked at the fellow passenger, appreciated her skeptical look and somehow distantly, completely unusual ear said:

– Red evening dress, size forty-two, evening shoes with heels fifteen centimeters, a set of cosmetics from the collection of Milan Rive Gauche second generation.

Victoria looked at her companion, trying to understand what he was saying and why. And I saw in his hand a beautiful red dress, chic shoes and a very attractive suitcase.

Gideon stood with his eyes closed, exuding a feeling of gratitude so strong that it was impossible not to feel it, as well as to describe in words this abundance of sensations not previously known.

Victoria opened her mouth unconsciously.

– This is for you my gift, he said boyfriend gifts girlfriend. – Now there is no need to go to the village in search of things. Put this on. On the road, you will not be missed by any car in this form. The first driver will give you a ride to the city, and for free. Be sure.

"Who are you?" – slightly moving away from shock, said the girl.

"I'm your brother, Victoria, a human.

"Why did you save me?" You knew my intentions, didn't you?

"Your deadline hasn't come yet, and I did what I had to do. For your stuff I'm sorry. I had to sacrifice them.

"It's strange… we were in the middle of nowhere in an instant, but you still have your clothes on, and I don't. Why is that?

"I used the combined teleportation technique.

"How's that?"

– This is when you move yourself, and at the same time you drag someone. That's why I still have my clothes on, but you don't.

"Can I try it on?" Victoria demanded, her eyes unable to detach themselves from the clothes in Gideon's hand.

"Of course it's yours."

The girl accepted the gifts without hesitation, took off her shirt, immediately gave it to the owner and put on a dress, then shoes. The outfit was just right.

"You look great," Gideon said.

"I wish I had a mirror."..

– At home you will appreciate, materialization should not be idle.

Victoria smiled sheepishly. The highway was very close. She knew that the moment of parting was almost upon her. Spend so little time with a stranger, but get so much from him… including life-not a frequent phenomenon. I wanted to give something back. Realizing the act of her Savior, the girl decided to tell the whole truth:

"Bartholomew asked me to seduce you." He said that it was very important for him, that no one could do it until now, and I could easily do it. I didn't have to sleep with you, the main thing was to provide dirt. I really don't know why. Everything was recorded through a beacon and shot on cameras from the agreed points, so I immediately settled on the couch in the field of view. I agreed to this because I like risk, intrigue, and competition. Bartholomew played on this. Sorry…

I still can't believe that he is a hundred-year-old man with esoteric knowledge.

"One hundred and thirty-seven isn't a big number, but I know you don't like to know that."

"Tell me about those who have lived in the same body for a thousand years."

– There's nothing very interesting about it. Well, people live a little longer than everyone else…

"A little longer?" This is not seventy years, nor ninety! A thousand, I'm sorry…

"There are more, but that's not the point. What matters is not how long you live, but how you live and for what.

"Yes…

– People who live for centuries and millennia in the same body are usually representatives of the heads of families, there are not many of them. Those that mere mortals can't reach. Much more correctly in this way do those who practice conscious reincarnation. Changing the body, the place of residence, parents, relatives, friends… the whole history of man… All ends are entered, as they say. A person dies, a new person is born. No one knows him, but he knows everyone.
