Chapter 182: Superhero Strange Tale - Diviner (Use magic to defeat magic)
, The Genie Starting from Marvel
Soon, daylight arrived, and Shi Ming and Anxi began to head toward the Xi'an Academy principal's office.
Just halfway there, the scene outside the window quickly shifted from early morning to dusk, approaching night again. Time had been pressed on the fast-forward button.
"Hurry! Get to the principal's office! If we don't arrive before it gets dark, we're done for!" Anxi pulled Shi Ming and ran quickly through the corridor.
Running wildly all the way, the two of them didn't even see the stairs to the first floor. The tens of meters of corridor were stretched infinitely long.
At the end of the corridor, a mirror facing the two suddenly rippled, and 'Frank' walked out of it, looking at the two people who were exhausted from running for their lives. "Don't struggle anymore; you've already lost."
Seeing that huge mirror, Shi Ming's chaotic memories suddenly became clear. Everything was a problem with the mirror.
"Who are you!" Anxi, with the whistle in her mouth, looked at this guy who had suddenly popped up and asked.
"Of course, I am... Frank." 'Frank' replied.
"If you are Frank, then what is that behind you?" Shi Ming gripped his dual pistols tightly. He didn't want to talk nonsense; it was just that the triggers of these two guns had suddenly become like they were welded shut, and he couldn't pull them.
Anxi glanced to the side. Behind 'Frank', in that large mirror, there was another person who looked exactly the same, wearing casual clothes, sitting on a stool, holding a book in his hand, looking leisurely and contented.
Seeming to sense the gaze from the outside, Frank raised his right hand and waved, saying hello.
Now Anxi also understood. The real Frank was trapped in the mirror, and this strange tale of the person in the mirror had replaced Frank and existed in reality. Shi Ming should have also encountered a similar thing. No wonder the changes from one day to the next were so big.
"The mirror can only trap one person. If you want to swap people, you have to let the one inside out. I'll stall for time; you find a way to run." Shi Ming whispered to Anxi.
The last swap wasn't complete, which was why Shi Ming had memory loss and gained inexplicable agent abilities. Therefore, Shi Ming knew that the target of the person in the mirror should be himself now.
Anxi scanned the surroundings with her peripheral vision. How could they run from this? Crash out of the window?
Wait! What is that?
Anxi saw a huge black shadow sweep past outside the window. Seen from the side, it looked a bit like wings.
Immediately afterward, the sound of whistling wind also entered the building. It seemed like a typhoon had started outside.
In the mirror, Frank looked up and watched the movement outside. Support had arrived, a bit faster than expected.
"I'll attract attention, you run, did you hear me?" Shi Ming noticed Anxi was a bit stunned and nudged her.
"Ahem." Frank spoke up. "Strange tales are a very interesting thing. They don't need logic, they don't need foundation, they just need to pass the review of two parties, have a suitable medium, and be able to withstand the pressure of the rules."
"Huh?" Shi Ming looked at the mirror and found that Frank had opened the book and was showing the contents of those two pages to them.
The person in the mirror also felt a bit inexplicable, but he didn't dare to make too much noise now. The principal's permissions he had plundered told him that a terrifying strange tale had arrived in the academy and was flying over the school.
"So, I've basically spent these dozens of hours compiling a strange tale. I call it the Diviner Strange Tale." Frank continued.
"The unknown has been something everyone has feared since ancient times, and the uncertain future even more so. Therefore, people have invented many kinds of divination methods, such as tarot cards and crystal balls, trying to peek into the future through this method. However, those who succeed are few and far between."

Frank chanted the strange tale he had compiled.
"But actually, they just got the method wrong. Legend has it that only after leaving reality, offering enough sacrifices, and calling out the mysterious name, can one summon a diviner in black with a pocket watch."
"He will charge extra fees according to the requirements of the divination, even including the soul of the summoner. However, unfortunately, his divination always points to a greater misfortune. His name is Johnson Thomas."
The pages in the mirror kept turning, and a new rule and strange tale were being generated.
"Hey, don't just stand there. It's your turn." Frank said to Anxi and Shi Ming.
Shi Ming glanced at the person in the mirror who was staying to the side and didn't dare to move randomly, took a deep breath, and said, "Great and mysterious Johnson Thomas, I am willing to use..."
Shi Ming thought for a moment and raised his dual pistols. Now, the only thing of value on him was this.
"Use the Holy Silver Dual Pistols as a sacrifice, calling for your arrival..."
Anxi on the side silently handed over the whistle as well, increasing the weight of the sacrifice.
Under their watchful eyes, the sacrifices slowly rose into the air and disappeared.
"Frank... this is naked slander." A hand reached out from the void, followed by a leg, and finally, the complete Johnson. "How does my divination point to misfortune?!"
"Understand it, I have to please the power of the Dark Dimension, otherwise it won't be generated successfully. Is the pressure of the rules high?" Frank asked with concern.
"It's alright, it's just that my ears feel a bit noisy." Johnson picked his ears, his sleeves shook, and the Holy Silver Dual Pistols and the whistle appeared in his hands. "Also, your sacrifice is a bit sloppy. Trying to freeload, huh?"
Frank gave an awkward smile.
Johnson muttered, but he was still very happy in his heart. He had finally found Frank. Just outside, Audasxin had looked at the countless rule lines, and even the dragon was numb; she had no idea where to start looking.
"Hey, you two, start your divination. Don't be nervous, just say anything." Johnson wanted to move but found that the rules acting on him restricted his activities. He could only turn to Shi Ming and ask.
Shi Ming didn't quite understand what the situation was, but one thing was very clear: they were about to turn the tables. "I want to know, what should I do to safely leave here."
Johnson frowned and pointed at the person in the mirror. "Rush up and punch him once."
After saying that, Shi Ming stood still. After all, that was a divination of misfortune; naturally, he couldn't believe it.
At this moment, the person in the mirror secretly aimed the mirror at Johnson.
Mirror Replacement!
The light shot out from the mirror enveloped Johnson in the air, but the light dissipated, and Frank was still trapped in the mirror.
"Trying to sneak attack a diviner? That's not a good idea." Johnson walked out from behind Shi Ming, his right hand gripping the pocket watch on his chest.
Using the pocket watch as a magic and emotional medium, White Curse, "Expecto Patronum!"
Intense white light bloomed from the pocket watch, and an owl flew out from the light, circling above Johnson's head.
Under the illumination of the white light, the channel constructed through the mirror began to melt gradually, like butter under the sun.
Before the person in the mirror could make the next move, a dragon claw reached in from the sky and grabbed the person in the mirror directly.
Boom! Audasxin landed steadily, and half of the teaching building collapsed. ===== CHAPTER 183 =====
