As night fell, the train was still speeding under the starry sky. Na Kexia sat in a corner of the carriage, staring at the endless universe outside the window. There was no expression on his face, but his eyes revealed a deep sense of loneliness. Perhaps, this was a game that fate gave him, playing with everything about him.
Outside the train was endless darkness, with only occasional twinkling stars, like a few hints from fate, but these light spots seemed unable to guide him to find the real way out. Na Kexia knew in his heart that he was not just pursuing a light cone, or rather, this so-called light cone was just a mystery that he had never been able to solve, belonging to some distant unsolved place.
He had tried to ask others about the truth of the light cone, but the answers he got were vague every time, and sometimes even he himself doubted whether this trajectory itself was illusory and the light cone was just a glimmer of illusion in his heart. He had fallen into deep confusion many times, wondering whether all his efforts would eventually come to nothing. But every time, the power in his heart still drove him forward to pursue the light spot that he could not reach.
1. The Secret of Light Cone and Destiny
The train continued to drive towards the unknown distance, and the people in the carriage remained silent. Na Kexia was not used to this silence, but he did not feel lonely. On the contrary, whenever the night was quiet, the voice in his heart became clearer.
“The light cone is not a mysterious existence.”
This voice came suddenly, breaking the silence of the carriage. He turned his head and found a figure suddenly appeared opposite him. The man was wearing a simple dress, and there was an unconcealable fatigue on his face, as if he had not slept for a long time.
“Who are you?” Na Kexia asked in a low voice with a hint of vigilance.
“Who I am is not important. What is important is, what is the light cone you are pursuing?” The man’s eyes were sharp, as if he saw through the struggle deep in Na Kexia’s heart.
Na Kexia was stunned. He didn’t understand why this person appeared here, nor why he could reveal his heart knot so directly. The Light Cone was indeed an unspeakable secret deep in his heart. He had been trying to find it all along, but he never really understood its essence.
“I don’t know.” He finally whispered, with helplessness in his tone.
“You pursue the Light Cone not because you truly believe in it, but because you can’t face your true self.” The man spoke slowly, and his words were like a sharp sword, piercing into the depths of Na Kexia’s heart.
“What do you mean?” Na Kexia asked puzzledly.
“The reason you want to find the Light Cone is because you dare not look directly at the trajectory of fate. You have been avoiding, avoiding real challenges, avoiding your mission.” The man’s tone was firm, as if he had known everything for a long time.
2. The price of breakthrough and sacrifice
After hearing this, Na Kexia’s heart was shaken. He didn’t know why he was in such a predicament. Everything seemed to be arranged by fate, which could not be avoided or reversed. Every breakthrough was a self-deception. He had thought many times that he was about to touch the light cone, but each time, he fell into deeper confusion.
“Breakthrough?” Na Kexia asked back, a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes, “This is just a false relief, where is the breakthrough?”
“Breakthrough is your deep understanding of yourself. Every breakthrough is a step you take deep into your heart to understand yourself and accept yourself.” The man said lightly.
“So, the light cone I am pursuing now is actually an escape from my heart?”
“Yes, the light cone does not represent an external goal, but an unsolved mystery in your heart. If you want to truly break through yourself, you must first face that mystery.” The man answered with a trace of compassion in his tone.
Na Kexia was silent, as if his inner world was undergoing drastic changes. He suddenly realized that the light cone he was pursuing might not be that important. What is really important is the unsolved mystery deep in his heart, the self that he has never really faced.
Suddenly, he remembered the dream. In the dream, he walked into a huge library. The bookshelves were full of books. Each book was his past memory. He only needed to open one of them to find the answer. However, he never dared to open the book because he was afraid of the truth he didn’t want to face.
3. The truth gradually became clear
The train continued to run. In the endless night, the stars still flickered coldly. Na Kexia knew that he was about to make a decision – he would no longer escape. He would stop blindly pursuing the light cone, but face his heart and accept the real self.
“You have to put down the light cone, put down your obsession with breakthrough, and accept your true destiny.” The man said slowly, as if everything was destined.
“If the breakthrough requires sacrifice, then I am willing.” Na Kexia answered firmly.
“Are you really ready?” The man seemed to be provocative, and seemed to be waiting for Na Kexia’s answer.
“Yes.” Na Kexia’s eyes flashed with a trace of determination.
As the train moved, the starry sky outside the window remained the same, but Na Kexia’s heart gradually became clear. He understood that whether it was the light cone or the breakthrough, they were just a symbol. What he needed was to recognize himself and face the deepest mystery. Only in this way can he truly welcome the trajectory of his destiny.
The train traveled under the starry sky, and the trajectory of his destiny stretched under his feet. Na Kexia finally decided not to escape anymore and to meet the unknown challenges.
