The breakthrough and choice of Na Ke Xia: The trajectory of fate and the mystery of self-salvation in “Honkai Impact 3: Sky Railway”

 

If you ask me what my first impression of “Nake Xia” is, I will tell you that it is a suspenseful character, like part of a puzzle, hiding a bottomless motive. Every breakthrough and every light cone of his seems to hide an unspeakable secret, or in other words, it is his profound self-struggle. You will think that he is pursuing power, but if you dig deeper, you will find that this is actually a journey of self-salvation, a battle against fate.

Every character in “Honkai Impact 3: Sky Railway” seems to have his own story, like a dense clue waiting to be revealed. And Na Ke Xia is undoubtedly the most mysterious one among them. In his growth process, every breakthrough, every material, and every upgrade seem to hint at some kind of fear or desire in his heart. His story is lonely and isolated, but it is also inevitable for everyone. He unknowingly embarked on a road with no way back, and where will this road lead him in the end?

1. Behind the breakthrough: a self-game
In “Honkai Impact 3: Sky Railway”, Na Kexia is not like a hero in the traditional sense. He is not too brave, and even does not have too many emotional fluctuations. But he is always breaking through and moving forward. Every breakthrough of his seems to be a self-game, a confrontation with fate. Just like the situation I often encounter when solving a case, it seems that the event is gradually advancing on the surface, but under each layer, there are hidden truths and truths.

The light cone and breakthrough that Na Kexia pursued seem to be not only to improve his combat power, but to pursue a power that can solve the inner doubts. Every material and every breakthrough is like a clue in the case, piecing together his life trajectory. And this trajectory, once you go deeper, you will find that it is closely connected with some painful memories, or it is simply to escape from some unfaceable past.

When I was studying the breakthrough materials he needed, I was not only looking at these values, but also thinking about the symbolic meaning hidden behind these materials. Each material is an untouchable part of his heart. Just like the suspect in the case, all signs point to him, but the final truth can never be found. Na Kexia’s breakthrough is the embodiment of this unspeakable mystery.

2. The interweaving of trace materials and human nature
Everyone’s fate is quietly changing in a series of seemingly insignificant choices. Just like a small mistake, it may eventually lead to a complete change in the outcome of the whole case. And Na Kexia’s trace materials are the symbol of these choices. By analyzing his materials, I found that every step of his actions seemed to make up for some kind of inner lack, or to repair a self that had long been broken.

Every collection of trace materials is like a person’s pursuit of self-salvation. And he did not collect these materials just to improve his combat power, but more like a deep self-salvation. In this process, he may not know what he is pursuing, but every step is approaching the unavoidable truth. All efforts and all efforts are trying to uncover a deeper mystery. The traces of Na Kexia are like a seemingly disorganized puzzle, and the real pattern can only be revealed when all the materials are gathered.

However, as I often encounter when solving cases, the process of solving the mystery is never smooth. There are more doubts and unsolved mysteries hidden in the materials of Na Kexia’s traces. You think you are close to the truth, but often when you are closest, the puzzle becomes more complicated. This complexity is the charm of Keigo Higashino’s works-behind seemingly simple things, there are often unpredictable complexities.

3. The confrontation between the light cone and fate
Nakexia’s light cone is not only a symbol of combat power, but also a symbol of his fate. Every light cone that is lit seems to mean that he is one step closer to the truth of his fate. And behind all this, there is an unknown conspiracy. In Keigo Higashino’s world, behind every seemingly simple event, there is an intricate cause and effect relationship. In “Honkai Impact 3: Star Dome Railway”, Nakexia’s light cone is the embodiment of this series of cause and effect relationships.

Through studying his light cone materials, I found that the distribution of these materials is full of profound symbolic meanings. Each breakthrough of the light cone is a challenge to one’s own destiny, and this challenge does not come from external pressure, but from the inner driving force. Na Kexia knows that only by constantly breaking through himself can he escape the shackles of fate. But at the same time, this breakthrough also makes him farther and farther away from his original self, until he loses himself and becomes a pure tool.

4. The choice of fate: a choice that cannot be turned back
Behind every breakthrough of Na Kexia seems to be a choice that cannot be turned back. Just like the characters in Keigo Higashino’s works, they often make decisive choices at certain critical moments. And these choices ultimately shape their destiny.

For Na Kexia, breakthroughs and collecting materials seem to be a kind of self-improvement, but from a deeper level, this is actually a struggle against fate. He wants to change his destiny through breakthroughs, but every breakthrough seems to push him further into the abyss of no return. Na Kexia’s story is full of an inescapable sense of destiny, and this sense of destiny is one of the most shocking elements in Keigo Higashino’s works.

V. Conclusion: Finding the truth in the fog
The story of Na Kexia may be a mystery without an answer. His breakthrough, his whereabouts, his light cone, everything points to a truth that cannot be fully revealed. This is just like the cases in Keigo Higashino’s works. All the clues point to a final ending, but you can never predict what the ending is.

He is like a person walking in the fog, always looking for an exit, but never finding it. Every step forward is both a challenge to fate and an exploration of one’s own heart. In this endless journey, perhaps he has lost the opportunity to turn back. And this is exactly what “Honkai Impact 3: Sky Railway” brings us to think about – in the process of pursuing power and goals, have we also lost ourselves unknowingly?
