Chapter 105 Chapter 104

Robert Langdon lay on a pile of coins at the bottom of the Fountain of Four Rivers, the rubber tube still in his mouth.The gas that was pressed out of the foamer pipe to produce foam had long been polluted by the air pump, and his throat was burning.Still, he didn't complain, he survived after all. Langdon didn't know exactly how faux drowning he was, but he'd worked with water all his life—he'd certainly heard of it.He has done his best.In the end, he even spit out all the gas in his body and held his breath to make his body sink to the bottom of the water. What is gratifying is that Heishixing not only believed it, but let go of it.

Langdon now lay on the bottom of the pool and couldn't wait any longer.He was literally suffocating.He didn't know if Heishixing was still outside.He took a breath of the pungent gas in the hose and exhaled again, then swam from the bottom of the pool to the raised and flat rock in the middle of the pool.He swam up the rocks, surfaced quietly, and hid in the reflection of the marble statue. The van is gone. This was exactly what Langdon wanted.He took a long breath and hurriedly swam back to the place where Bishop Bagger sank.He knew that the bishop had lost consciousness at this moment, and the chance of waking up was slim, but he still had to try.After finding the bishop, he stood with his legs crossed, bent down and grabbed the chain that was wrapped around the bishop, and began to pull it up hard.After the bishop emerged from the water, Langdon saw that the bishop's eyes had turned upward and were puffed up.That's not a good sign.The bishop was dead, and his pulse was gone.

Knowing that he would never be able to lift the bishop's body and drag him out of the fountain, Langdon dragged Bishop Bagger from the water to the opening of the marble rockery in the center of the pool.The water here is relatively shallow, and there is a sloping stone slab.Langdon pulled the bishop's naked body up the slate as best he could, but not by much. Immediately afterwards, Langdon began rescue work.He pressed the bishop's chained chest, forced the water out of his lungs, and began artificial respiration.He pressed carefully and carefully, neither too hard nor too fast.He spent three minutes trying to revive the Bishop.Five minutes passed and he knew it was over.

The would-be pope lay dead before him. Somehow, Bishop Bagger retained a dignity even as he lay quietly in the shadow of the stone slab half above the water.The pool water gently patted his chest, as if regretting... It seems that he is begging for forgiveness for being the last murderer who killed the bishop... It seems that he wants to erase his own name branded on the bishop. Langdon gently ran a hand across the bishop's face, closing his upturned eyes. As he did so, he felt exhausted, and tears welled up in his eyes.This startled him. Afterwards, he began to cry, for the first time in years.
