The outside of Joyce's old house was thunderstorm.

The wind rattled the glass, and the bean-sized raindrops slapped on the roof and the door, making a heavy knocking sound, but the flames in the house burned silently.The fire protection measures of Joyce's old house were done well, and even after a strong explosion occurred, the load-bearing walls showed no signs of collapse.The flames were just attached to the surface of the combustibles and emitted thick smoke, and the fire alarm on the high wall blew harshly, but the two people standing in the room... the two living creatures did not pay attention to it.

Igor's previous eagerness was interrupted by a sudden change. He was looking at the location of the basement with an expression of mixed expectation and a little fear, which was also a place where flames and thick smoke could not reach.

The human body appeared a little translucent in the firelight, like some kind of jelly-like jelly.

This is also a matter of course-because he is not really standing here completely, and what came to Joyce's old house is only a part of Igor's soul.His body remained at Garcia's home for examination, while another part of his soul stayed in the fluffy gray St. Martin bird on Azathoth's shoulder.

Azathoth is not complete either.

Strictly speaking, he just sensed the possible danger and touched a few tentacles along the way.

After a while, one of the tentacles swam over, not paying attention to the crackling and burning flames on the ground.It came to Igor and twisted a bit, a mouth that seemed human but not human suddenly split on the dark black skin.Igor's familiar voice came out of that slit-like mouth, still carrying the lazy and indifferent breath of salted fish: "Aren't you going down?"

The closed eyes of Wendy's portrait on the left wall that is not on fire seem to be slightly opened.

The tentacles twisted as if uncomfortable, because there were too many 'bystanders' and felt troublesome: "If you can solve it, I will go back first."

Before these tentacles receded, Igor woke up suddenly and subconsciously stopped: "Please wait a moment!"

The fire alarm was still screaming loudly, and did not divert because the humans were sane: "Warning! Warning! Fire! Please evacuate to a safe place quickly! Please evacuate to..."

A tentacle climbed to a high place and slapped it impatiently.

The fire alarm shut up.

The surroundings were completely quiet.

Thick clouds billowed outside the window, and the lightning reflected the sky and the earth flickering.

The mouth in front of Igor asked, “What’s the matter?”

Wendy rolled her eyes in the small photo frame placed on a short table in front of her.

It was originally a sideways posture, probably a breeze in spring, and the little girl held down her floating dress with a smile.But this angle is not very good. In order to see it more clearly, it tried its best to rub its flat body to the other side.

——and then collided with a jet-black dull eye.

Those eyes grew on a tentacle lying on the low table.The thing was originally quiet, but suddenly stood upright, and the pattern on it squirmed, revealing a crack similar to the previous mouth.Then a surprisingly large eye without eyelashes or eyelids suddenly filled the slit, and its dark pupils were fixed on the portrait in front of it.

"..."

The portrait is only the size of an adult's palm, and this eye is bigger than Wendy's entire body in the painting.

Igor didn't find anything. He didn't quite understand what kind of changes had taken place in Wendy's body. He only knew that the 'Sacred Skeleton' had transformed the girl's body and changed her appearance into another one.

He thought for a few seconds, and said in an awkward and polite tone as much as possible: "I think she should come to see you."

The best way to say this is, 'You two should get to know each other'.

However, speaking to Azathoth like this, Igor always felt that something was wrong.

Or the current situation is very strange.

In the end, he did the only thing that couldn't go wrong - took out his mobile terminal and called the emergency department.

Whether it was the fire or Shirley, he couldn't completely ignore it, but the location of Joyce's old house was very remote, not to mention ordinary ambulances, even if they dispatched a helicopter, it would take some time.

Azathoth also thought about it.He is far away from here now, and communication is inconvenient. Rather than saying that the main body in Garcia's house is directing his actions, it is better to say that the tentacles in front of Igor are spinning their brains rapidly, if it has such a thing.

After a long time, Igor found that the tentacles in front of him gave up thinking.

"It's all up to you." The mouth growing on it said indifferently, and then slowly climbed up Igor's back, hanging on his neck like a koala and not moving.

Following this movement, more and more 'Wendy' twisted their necks hard to look in this direction.

And 'Wendy' on the short table shrank back with a frightened expression, and could almost see her own reflection in those big dull eyes.

The tentacles were motionless, and Wendy would have thought it had fallen asleep if its eyes weren't open.

With a "bang", the head of the ballerina sculpture at the center of the explosion rolled down overwhelmed, rolled on the carpet and came to the center of the hall.

A tentacle looked at it, as if it thought the head was interesting, poked its nose and pushed it forward, like a child playing with a strange ball.

Immediately, half of the 'Wendy' looked at Igor, and the other half were inevitably attracted by this scene.

Igor finally found these portraits with the most sense of disobedience.

He looked over with a blank expression and a little vigilance, and found that the Wendy's looked away one after another, pretending that nothing happened, stroking their hair, and fiddling with the hem of their clothes.

"..."

The tentacles hanging on Igor's shoulder said, "Normal portraits don't move."

The girl in the portrait with the curly hair with an innocent smile pauses.

The scene was very embarrassing.

Azathoth felt that he couldn't continue to waste time like this. He used his tentacles to know that a large number of humans would soon pour into this old house. Even if some people didn't want Wendy's secret to be exposed, Shirley Joy After all, Si is still a viscount with real power.

In this era of such a fast network, any conspiracy that wants to be completely concealed requires powerful means.

He took the lead in moving towards the basement, pushing open the tightly locked door without hesitation.

Igor's heart beat faster, but he didn't realize it himself.

"Tick tock, tick tock".

The water pipes in the basement kept falling on the concrete floor, which was absorbed by a doll rabbit placed under the water pipes.But that's not the point. Wendy, who was wearing a white sleeveless dress, was sitting on the thick water pipe, with a dinner fork, dolls, a few tattered books, three or four plastic toys, and even a watch. Expensive-looking but out-of-date laptop...but not connected to a network cable.

Igor's eyes unconsciously swept across this dark, cold basement that had not been systematically decorated, and saw a small desk, a wooden bed, a wardrobe and a wooden chair in the corner.

There were signs of life on the bed, but the table and chairs were covered in dust and didn't look like they were used very often.

There are no windows in the basement, but there is central air conditioning.An electric light hung from the roof, but it was not being used at the moment.

Only a small lamp beside the bed was dimly lit.

Finally he looked at the leaking pipe.

The girl who looked about thirteen or fourteen years old also followed his gaze, and explained, "I scraped the leak with a fork myself. A few days ago, Shirley said that someone would come to repair it."

Having said that, she realized something, and her voice paused.

Shirley Joyce would never call someone over to fix the plumbing again.

Of course, she might not have to stay in this basement any longer.

What exactly does this mean?A hazy thought flashed through her mind, making the girl feel a little dazed.

Then she moved with an ability, and found that the tentacle squatting in front of the short portrait outside was still in place, and the black eyes were staring at her, and there seemed to be a light of interest shining inside.

——This is too persistent!

The slightly sad emotions disappeared immediately. Wendy hadn't experienced such an illogical thing for a long time. It might be better to say that when she was with Shirley, she was the one who was illogical and made people speechless.

It can only be said that a mountain is higher than a mountain, and the big man next to my brother is really terrifying.

……elder brother.

The word emerges, with a sense of being taken for granted.

Wendy glanced at Igor quickly.

Igor is organizing his language. There is no dramatic conflict or touching communication between the long-lost brother and sister. Igor has long been used to covering up his emotions. The more excited and difficult to control himself, the more he must be vigilant. Even if his mind is blank, it won't make people see that something is wrong.

As for Wendy, before Azathoth opened the door, she felt that she was arranging her dress in the basement.

If she was given a little more time, this girl would probably choose to clean the basement thoroughly, plug the leaking pipes, turn on the lights on the ceiling, and create a normal and peaceful atmosphere, even if she doesn't fit the word 'normal' side.

Is it because you want to hide the bad and painful side of your life from your loved ones?

Azathoth analyzed it again with his tentacles.

All in all, this is indeed a family, and the level of emotional control is superb.

Queen Sullivan finally chose to walk into the room and give her sister a silent hug.

Little Sullivan hesitated for a moment, his golden eyes glanced at the creature that climbed up like a sloth on Igor's shoulder.

"Hello, Wendy." Azathoth said politely.

At this moment, he finally remembered Igor's purpose for letting him meet Wendy—forgive this tentacle for its relatively small brain, and its slow reaction when thinking about complex issues.Because a sudden flash of inspiration solved his confusion, the cracks on the tentacles also opened, showing an expression that was probably a smile, "I am Azathoth——Igor's most important and close 'person'.
