Ye Qiyan had not performed Eternal Binding with Alaya.
She had indeed mentioned it.
But to Ye Qiyan, this was not something to use casually on others.
Stape did not mind Ye Qiyan's silence. His fingers turned into blades, and he cut open the little boy's chest, exposing the organs within.
"Oh? So if you don't perform Eternal Binding, you won't lose your memories?"
Stape nodded, then shook his head.
"That's right, but I'm not sure whether this world's Platform Lord has any other methods.
"There's absolutely nothing wrong with Eternal Binding itself. Once bound, your souls are linked, with no betrayal and absolute loyalty. But if the bound person dies, that very connection will trigger whatever this world's Platform Lord left on these burdens' hearts."
As he spoke, he took out the little boy's beating heart, then tossed his body to a crew member beside him.
"Look, what a beautiful heart. Such a shame that something so beautiful has these ugly patterns on it. Ah..."
Black patterns like a spiderweb covered the heart.
This man named Stape was no harmless character.
He had sent people to attack Ye Qiyan and Alaya right from the start. If he had not recognized Ye Qiyan and known his strength...
This so-called cooperation would probably never have happened.
In a sense, that little boy was already dead.
Apart from this heart and his brain, everything else was a fabrication molded from that mashed flesh.
Even Ye Qiyan could see it.
There was no brain beneath the little boy's skull. Clearly, Stape had stored it separately.
Even though Lisette's Hanging Skull Spike had just shot him dead, it probably would not be long before a brand-new little boy appeared with that head fitted onto him.
This was a Train Conductor.
