Prelude

Prologue

Beside a dusty bowl, a figure was trembling in the corner of the room. He appeared very young and handsome, but his face was covered in sweat, and his eyes were wide open, staring ahead.

This was a narrow and dilapidated attic with no windows, only a few cracks in the walls that allowed some light to seep through. The young man's hand was gripping the decaying wooden floorboards, and although his body was pressed against the corner, his head was still tilting inwards.

Save me, anyone, please save me...save me!

He couldn't believe what he had witnessed and now wondered if he would make it out alive. Would he be able to return to see Ethan, Jasper, and the others? Could he?

At that moment, he thought of Samantha. That strange, eerie woman who always seemed so quiet, as if she weren't even alive. She was always watching them from behind, observing them. It was as if she knew everything.

He desperately wanted to see Samantha. He wanted to ask her about everything that had happened on the island. What did she know?

He straightened his body slightly, supporting himself, and swallowed a mouthful of saliva. He looked around, and the only thing he could use as a weapon was the old, broken bowl lying beside him.

He picked up the bowl, took a few deep breaths, and suddenly, through the cracks in the wall, he saw an extremely eerie pattern beneath the bowl.

What...what is this?

He was so excited that he trembled and dropped the bowl. In the next moment, as if he had been electrocuted, he felt a hand lightly grab his waist, and his body was pulled towards the darkness behind him...

Moonlight shone down from the sky above Four waters island, casting a slightly eerie silver light.

Chapter 1: Ethan

Four Waters Island, a small island in the middle of the sea that looks like a leaf and is unremarkable, is still a sunny day today. Looking up, there is not a cloud in sight.

The lecture hall of the Scarlet Grove Academy is filled with university students, and standing on the podium is a middle-aged woman of extreme beauty. Her beauty is enough to make people ignore her age and be fascinated by her, and the sediment of years has left almost no traces on her.

As I said before, congratulations to everyone on becoming sophomores at the beginning of the new semester, the middle-aged woman cleared her throat and said with a very pleasant voice, You are all about to turn twenty years old. On Four Waters Island, this age is already old enough to get married and have children, and it is an important symbol of becoming an adult. Love is a beautiful memory of youth, and I hope you all cherish this time.

Many students in the audience looked at this teacher with respect and admiration. Her name is Mrs Ivy Frost, although she is close to middle age, she is definitely the most beautiful woman on Four Waters Island, and she is also the wife of Mr.Nathan, the philanthropist on the island. The construction of this Scarlet Grove Academy is largely funded by Mr. Nathan. The couple has always been enthusiastic about developing charitable causes and striving to promote the economic development of Four Waters Island.

Now, let me announce the recruitment plan for the college clubs in the new semester, Mrs Ivy smiled and looked at the spirited students below the stage, Three new clubs will be established this semester, and the college will allocate funds for their activities according to the actual situation. Club activities are an important part of graduation assessment, so please pay attention.

As she spoke, her gaze fell on one of the young men below the stage. He had very neat hair and a very handsome face, with clear facial curves and a wide forehead. At this moment, he was holding his chin with one hand and a pen with the other, rotating it 360 degrees in his hand.

"I will now announce the names of the three new clubs and their presidents. If you are interested in joining, you can sign up with them. First, there is the Go Research Society led by Jasper (Jasper Sky) from the Chinese Department, followed by the Cultural Research Society led by Ethan, also from the Chinese Department, and finally…

As soon as the name Ethan was mentioned, many people's eyes turned towards the young man who was spinning his pen.

Ethan, is that you? A girl sitting next to the young man with two twisted braids and glasses was also surprised. Haven't you always been low-key? And... what does the Cultural Research Society mean?

Just for killing time. Ethan, the young man, held the pen and said in a very plain tone, We have recruited three members so far.

The girl with twisted braids laughed and said, If you are the minister, a lot of people will come, after all, many people like you. Tell me the truth, is there a special reason?

After class, it was already noon. Everyone left the classroom in groups of three or two, and many
