The train lurched forward with the rumbling sound of its engine.
Ke Mingye sat in one of the compartments of the sleeper car, on the bottom bunk, with his head down playing silently with a spare mobile phone.
He was browsing information about tonight's hunting target, "Ji Feng," on the official website of the Japanese Superhero Association, where promotional videos of Ji Feng could be seen almost everywhere.
The promotion page read that, unlike other superheroes, Ji Feng's main feature was that he could manipulate four ghost hands that floated in the air, unexpectedly defeating his opponents in battle.
In a series of official combat footage, Ji Feng, when facing super villains, even used seven knives at once.
One in his mouth, one in each hand, and one in each of the four floating ghost hands.
