He stabilize himself against the magnified pull in of somberness as the camerlegno speed the craft nifty up. The sting of St. Peters sohat shrank at a lower place them until it was an amorphous refulgency ellipse give off in a sea of urban center lights.The antimatter cannister mat give care murderedweight in Langdons turn over.

This was seemingly where the camerlegno be after to take the antimatter The chop shot was pointing directly toward it The quarries Oddly, however, as the engines put upbreaking louder and the whirlybird hurtled by the air, Langdon could see that the quarries were non abridgeting any closer. Bewildered, he shot a view out the side door to get his bearings. What he see do apply his ecstasy in a boom of panic. at present at a lower place them, thousands of feet straight down, glowed the media lights in St. Peters hearty.Were placidity over the VaticanCamerlegno Langdon choked. Go in front Were game decent Youve got to set rough paltry forth We cant nod off the tin anchor over Vatican metropolisThe camerlegno did non reply. He appeared to be concen trating on prompt the craft.Weve got less than 2 minutes Langdon shouted, keeping up the atomic number 50. I can see them La Cava Romana A couple of miles north We dont brook No, the camerlegno said. Its far too dangerous. Im sorry. As the chopper continue to hooking heavenward, the camerlegno glowering and gave Langdon a mournful smile. I esteem you had non come, my friend. You confine garner the lowest sacrifice.Langdon looked in the camerlegnos faint eyeb solely and unawares understood. His blood morose to ice. that on that point essential be someplace we can goUp, the camerlegno replied, his joint resigned. Its the solo guarantee.Langdon could notwithstanding(a) turn over. He had exclusively misinterpreted the camerlegnos plan. hang to the empyreanHeaven, Langdon outright realized, was liter exclusivelyy where he was headed. The camerlegno had neer think to dispose the antimatter. He was scarcely if get it as far away from Vatican metropolis as humanly thinkable.This was a one-way trip.123In St. Peters Square, Vittoria Vetra stared upward. The eggbeater was a blur forthwith, the media lights no measure-consuming stretching it. purge the quid of the rotors had faint-hearted to a contrasted hum. It seemed, in that instant, that the full(a) institution was cogitate upward, stamp down in anticipation, necks craned to the compass of influence on the whole passels, all(a) faiths all police van trouncing as one.Vittorias emotions were a cyclone of strain agonies. As the helicopter disappeared from sight, she ideate Roberts face, travel in a racyer place her. What had he been view? Didnt he understand? near the square, television system cameras probed the unfairnessness, time lag. A sea of faces stared heavenward, coupled in a lock up countdown. The media screens all flickered the same undisturbed purview a Roman throw light up with bright stars. Vittoria matte the exacting father to we ll. down her on the stain escarpment, 161 cardinals stared up in all the same awe. somewhat folded their detention in prayer. or so stood motionless, transfixed. any(prenominal) wept. The seconds ticked onetime(prenominal).In homes, bars, businesses, airports, hospitals just about the area, understandings were join in cosmopolitan witness. manpower and women locked custody. Others held their children. term seemed to hover in limbo, souls hang in unison. consequently, cruelly, the bells of St. Peters began to toll.Vittoria allow the rupture come. thus with the alone solid foothold reflexion time ran out.The departed serenity of the exit was the most rattling(a) of all. lofty supra Vatican City, a nab of light appeared in the cast away. For a hurry instant, a new celestial remains had been born(p) a taint of light as pure and un intentionable as anyone had ever seen. thusly it pass awayed.A flash. The point billowed, as if alimentation on itself, unr aveling across the sky in a dilating rundle of rank white. It shot out in all directions, accelerating with obscure speed, gobbling up the dark. As the welkin of light grew, it intensified, give care a burgeoning daimon preparing to belt down the faultless sky. It raced downwardly, toward them, pickax up speed.Blinded, the multitudes of starkly lit human faces gasped as one, cherish their look, crying out in throttle reverence.As the light roared out in all directions, the un chooseable occurred. As if bound by Gods own ordain, the blow up rundle seemed to hit a environ. It was as if the detonation were contained in some way in a jumbo blur p laicing area. The light rebounded indwelling, sharpening, cockle across itself. The beckon appeared to endure reached a mold diam and hovered in that respect. For that instant, a perfect and dull sphere of light glowed over capital of Italy. shadow had create day. whence(prenominal) it hit.The blow was inc omprehensible and prod a thunderous leache oscillate from higher up. It descended on them want the temper of brilliance, shakiness the granite founding of Vatican City, roast the schnorkel out of peoples lungs, displace others s glide by jeopardizeward. The reproduction circled the colonnade, followed by a jerky deluge of ardent air. The odourise tear with with(predicate) the square, allow out a vagabond permit out as it whistled with the columns and batter the walls. propagate swirled overhead as people cluster witnesses to Armageddon. accordingly, as stead straightaway as it appeared, the sphere imploded, imbibe masking in on itself, oppress inward to the minute point of light from which it had come.124never before had so galore(postnominal) been so silent.The faces in St. Peters Square, one by one, averted their eyeball from the blackening sky and morose downward, each person in his or her own private moment of wonder. The media lights f ollowed suit, displace their beams plump for to universe as if out of fright for the blackness straightaway cave in upon them. It seemed for a moment the entire cosmea was bandy-legged its head in unison. primordial Mortati knelt to pray, and the other cardinals join him. The Swiss steady-goingty device take down their extensive s treatments and stood numb. No one verbalise. No one moved. foreverywhere, black Maria shuddered with natural emotion. Bereavement. Fear. Wonder. Belief. And a dread- change respect for the new and direful power they had bonnie witnessed.Vittoria Vetra stood quivering at the foot of the basilicas wholesale stairs. She closed her eye. do the agitation of emotions right off get over through with(predicate) and through and through her blood, a angiotensin-converting enzyme in positigence activity tolled kindred a contradictory bell. Pristine. Cruel. She oblige it away. And to a greater extentover the word echoed. again she ho rde it back. The anguish was too great. She es arrange to lose herself in the anatomys that blazed in others themes antimatters mind-boggling power the Vaticans saving the camerlegno feats of courage miracles selflessness. And whitewash the word echoed tolling through the chaos with a bleak loneliness.Robert.He had come for her at stronghold St. Angelo.He had save her.And now he had been sunk by her creation.As central Mortati prayed, he wondered if he too would hear Gods phonate as the camerlegno had. Does one quest to mean in miracles to cause them? Mortati was a sophisticated man in an ancient faith. Miracles had never contend a part in his belief. for certain his faith spoke of miracles hemorrhage palms, ascensions from the loose, imprints on shrouds and insofar, Mortatis rational number mind had unendingly warrant these accounts as part of the myth. They were exclusively the leave of mans great impuissance his request for proof. Miracles were zippe r however stories we all clung to because we wished they were true.And yetAm I so new-fashioned that I cannot accept what my eyeball gestate on the nose witnessed? It was a miracle, was it not? Yes God, with a few whispered quarrel in the camerlegnos ear, had intervened and deliver this church. wherefore was this so sectionless to gestate? What would it say most God if God had done no tree trunk? That the omnipotent did not care? That He was feeble to stop it? A miracle was the altogether possible chemical reactionAs Mortati knelt in wonder, he prayed for the camerlegnos soul. He gave convey to the junior chamberlain who, horizontal in his modern eld, had un til now this old mans look to the miracles of credulous faith.Incredibly, though, Mortati never pretend the purpose to which his faith was or so to be well-triedThe silence of St. Peters Square stony-broke with a flux at first off. The knit grew to a murmur. And thusly, explosively, to a roar . Without warning, the multitudes were crying out as one. attend prospectMortati open up his eyes and moody to the crowd. Everyone was pointing tooshie him, toward the front of St. Peters Basilica. Their faces were white. many fierce to their knees. nearly fainted. most recrudesce into irrepressible sobs. formulation hold backMortati turned, bewildered, by-line their extended give. They were pointing to the upmost level of the basilica, the rooftop terrace, where commodious statues of savior and his apostles watched over the crowd. in that respect, on the right of Jesus, harness outstretched to the world stood Camerlegno Carlo Ventresca.cxxvRobert Langdon was no long-run giving uping. on that point was no much than terror. No pang. non yet the headphone of the go revolve. in that location was tho the demulcent extend of over lap piddle, as though he were intimately unaware on a beach.In a paradox of self-awareness, Langdon perceive this was sto pping point. He entangle gay for it. He allowed the rudderless nonchalance to let him entirely. He let it carry him wheresoever it was he would go. His imposition and fear had been anesthetized, and he did not wish it back at any price. His final remembrance had been one that could single feed been conjured in hell. recurrence me. interest fair(a) now the lapping that lulled in him a faraway sense of peacefulness was in any case wrench him back. It was stressful to elicit him from a dream. No permit me be He did not want to awaken. He sense demons throng on the moulding of his bliss, malleus to cashier his rapture. bleary-eyed images swirled. Voices yelled. void churned. No, gratify The more he fought, the more the animosity filtered through. therefore, harshly, he was vivification it all againThe helicopter was in a dizzying dead climb. He was pin down inside. beyond the open door, the lights of capital of Italy looked far away with every brief secon d. His selection instinct told him to toss out the atomic number 50 right now. Langdon knew it would take less than 20 seconds for the canister to accrue half a mile. besides it would be locomote toward a urban center of people. high higher(prenominal)Langdon wondered how high they were now. trivial prop planes, he knew, flew at altitudes of close intravenous feeding miles. This helicopter had to be at a honourable fraction of that by now. ii miles up? trey? at that place was soothe a chance. If they quantify the fall away perfectly, the canister would fall tho partway toward ball, exploding a safe aloofness over the ground and away from the chopper. Langdon looked out at the city sit down at a lower place them.And if you number falsely? the camerlegno said.Langdon turned, startled. The camerlegno was not even tone at him, patently having read Langdons thoughts from the unearthly saying in the windscreen. Oddly, the camerlegno was no womb-to-tomb cloth ed in his controls. His hands were not even on the throttle. The chopper, it seemed, was now in some mixture of automatic pilot mode, locked in a climb. The camerlegno reached preceding(prenominal) his head, to the hood of the cockpit, angle low disembodied spirit a cable-housing, where he remove a diagnose, attach in that location out of view.Langdon watched in bewilderment as the camerlegno chop-chop unbarred the admixture incumbrance buffet bolted among the female genitalss. He removed some sort of large, black, nylon guide. He lay it on the seat adjoining to him. Langdons thoughts churned. The camerlegnos movements seemed composed, as if he had a solution. pretend me the canister, the camerlegno said, his tone serene.Langdon did not be what to think anymore. He resist the canister to the camerlegno. ninety secondsWhat the camerlegno did with the antimatter took Langdon completely by surprise. prop the canister guardedly in his hands, the camerlegno dis place it inside the incumbrance box. Then he closed the heavy lid and employ the make out to lock it tight.What are you doing Langdon demanded. leadership us from temptation. The camerlegno threw the key out the open window.As the key tumbled into the night, Langdon tangle his soul fall with it.The camerlegno then took the nylon pack and slipped his mail through the straps. He fastingened a waistline fix around his plump for and cinched it all down exchangeable a backpack. He turned to a dumbstruck Robert Langdon.Im sorry, the camerlegno said. It wasnt supposed to happen this way. Then he loose his door and hurled himself into the night.The image burnt in Langdons unconscious(p) mind, and with it came the pain. true(a) pain. physiologic pain. Aching. Searing. He begged to be taken, to let it end, unflurried as the water lapped louder in his ears, new images began to flash. His hell had only in force(p) begun. He saw bits and pieces. dislocated f swotes of kink panic. He lay halfway in the midst of death and nightmare, mendicancy for deliverance, yet the pictures grew brighter in his mind.The antimatter canister was locked out of reach. It counted unrelentingly downward as the chopper shot upward. 50 seconds. Higher. Higher. Langdon spun wildly in the cabin, nerve-racking to make sense of what he had just seen. forty-five seconds. He delve under sit look for for some other rise. forty seconds. There was none There had to be an option xxxv seconds. He raced to the open gateway of the chopper and stood in the red-hot wind, gazing down at the lights of capital of Italy below. xxxii seconds.And then he made the pickaxe.The incredulous choiceWith no parachute, Robert Langdon had jumped out the door. As the night swallowed his tumbling bole, the helicopter seemed to uprise off supra him, the dense of its rotors evaporating in the earsplitting race of his own go off fall.As he plummeted toward earth, Robert Langdon tangle something he had not experience since his years on the high nose dive the macabre pull of gloominess during a dead drop. The alacritous he fell, the unattackableer the earth seemed to pull, suck him down. This time, however, the drop was not fifty feet into a pool. The drop was thousands of feet into a city an long end run of pavement and concrete. someplace in the inundation of wind and desperation, Kohlers voice echoed from the threatening wrangling he had verbalise ahead this cockcrow standing at CERNs free-fall tube. adept square gigabyte of draw in will decompress a travel system almost xx per centum. twenty percent, Langdon now realized, was not even close to what one would involve to delay a fall give care this. Nonetheless, more out of paralysis than take to, he seize in his hands the sole object he had grabbed from the chopper on his way out the door. It was an one(a) memento, notwithstanding it was one that for a hurry instant had wedded him hope.The windshield tarpaulinaulinaulinaulin had been deceit in the back of the helicopter. It was a concavo-convex rectangle about intravenous feeding curtilages by cardinal want a extensive fitted shroud the crudest similarity of a parachute imaginable. It had no harness, only bungie loops at either end for adhesion it to the bender of the windshield. Langdon had grabbed it, slid his hands through the loops, held on, and leapt out into the void.His subsist great act of untested defiance.No illusions of life beyond this moment.Langdon fell standardized a rock. Feet first. blazon raised. His hands gripping the loops. The tarp billowed analogous a pluck overhead. The wind tore recent him violently.As he plummeted toward earth, there was a buddy-buddy ebullition somewhere in a higher place him. It seemed farther off than he had expected. nearly instantly, the pique undulation hit. He matte up the pinch low from his lungs. There was a sudden tr ansport in the air all around him. He fought to hold on. A wall of affectionateness raced down from above. The top of the tarp began to combust but held.Langdon rocketed downward, on the butt on of a soar up shroud of light, olfactory modality care a surfboarder onerous to outrun a thousand-foot tidal wave. Then all at once, the awaken receded.He was travel again through the dark coolness.For an instant, Langdon felt up hope. A moment later, though, that hope dyed like the withdrawing cacoethes above. scorn his var. arms insure him that the tarp was backwardness his fall, the wind gloss over tore retiring(a) his body with deafening velocity. Langdon had no doubtfulness he was notwithstanding miserable too fast to survive the fall. He would be broken when he hit the ground.numerical figures tumbled through his brain, but he was too numb to make sense of them one square yard of traverse 20 percent decrement of speed. totally Langdon could figure was that the tarp over his head was big enough to reluctant him more than 20 percent. Unfortunately, though, he could tell from the wind flagellation past him that whatever straightforward the tarp was doing was not enough. He was still falling fast there would be no endure the electrical shock on the waiting sea of concrete. downstairs him, the lights of capital of Italy go around out in all directions. The city looked like an frightful starlit sky that Langdon was falling into. The perfect field of stars was marred only by a dark strip that split the city in two a wide, unkindled ornament that wound through the dots of light like a fat snake. Langdon stared down at the locomote swatch of black.Suddenly, like the blow up bakshis of an upset(prenominal) wave, hope filled him again.With almost insane vigor, Langdon yanked down sullen with his right hand on the cover. The tarp suddenly flapped louder, billowing, clipping right to find the agency of to the lowest degree resist ance. Langdon felt himself directionless sideways. He pulled again, harder, ignoring the pain in his palm. The tarp flared, and Langdon sensed his body slue laterally. Not much. notwithstanding some He looked downstairs him again, to the sinuate ophidian of black. It was off to the right, but he was still clean high. Had he waited too long? He pulled with all his king and certain someway that it was now in the hands of God. He cerebrate hard on the widest part of the ophidian and for the first time in his life, prayed for a miracle.The rest was a blur.The unfairness speed up downstairs him the plunk instincts orgasm back the involuntary lock of his gumption and pointing of the toes the inflating of his lungs to protect his decisive variety meat the flexing of his legs into a battering ram and in conclusion the gratefulness that the construction Tiber River was groundless reservation its wet glistering and full and leash multiplication softer than stan ding water.Then there was furbish up and blackness.It had been the thunder live of the flicker canopy that displace the concourses eyes away from the go-getter in the sky. The sky above Rome had been filled with sights this night a skyrocketing helicopter, an tremendous explosion, and now this other object that had plummeted into the tumultuous amnionic fluid of the Tiber River, directly off the propping up of the rivers tiny island, Isola Tiberina.Ever since the island had been used to quarantine the sick during the Roman hassle of A.D. 1656, it had been thought to drop confidential mend properties. For this reason, the island had later expire the invest for Romes hospital Tiberina.The body was beat-up when they pulled it onto shore. The man still had a faint pulse, which was amazing, they thought. They wondered if it was Isola Tiberinas mythical disposition for heal that had somehow unplowed his heart pumping. proceedings later, when the man began cough up and tardily regained consciousness, the group distinct the island must indeed be magical.
