Chapter 206: Feng Mu, the mentor who guides the lost
There was no rehearsal for this "performance".
Therefore, it was also the first time that Wang Cong heard this soul-stirring theory of salvation.
At first, he felt a chill and cold sweat ran down his back, but then he was deeply attracted and impressed by Feng Mu's profound thoughts.
The prisoners around were also startled at first, feeling a chill, but soon, they looked at each other with recognition in their eyes, and had to admit the truth in Feng Mu's words.
Although those words sounded cold and ruthless, like a cold knife cutting the skin, the compassion contained in them was sharp and revealed a wisdom that could save the majority of people.
If such remarks were made in previous lives, they might have caused controversy, and been questioned and criticized.
However, in this world where the Upper and Lower Cities are divided into two and the [resource management and recycling policy for all mankind] is implemented, the ideas expressed by Feng Mu have actually already been subtly rooted in the minds of most people.
Moreover, this idea has flourished and grown in this land. After 200 years of dissemination and influence, it has become the criterion and truth believed by most people.
It is not worth arguing about using the sacrifice of a few to benefit the majority. What needs to be argued is who should be the sacrificed minority.
The prisoners collectively fell into deep thought, then looked at Feng Mu and asked, "Is it okay as long as we can hold on for a few times?"
Feng Mu said firmly: "Of course, if coercion does not lead to submission, if killing does not bring money, someone will naturally report it to the higher-ups and stop this loss-making business."
Prisoners: "Who, who will respond?"
Wang Cong got a hint from Feng Mu's eyes and slowly took a step forward. He walked in front of Feng Mu, facing the prisoners, took a deep breath and said, "I, I will report to the higher-ups to end this unreasonable charging system."
The prisoners looked at each other without saying anything, but the suspicion in their eyes was evident.
That look seemed to express silently - you, an insignificant prison guard, a prison guard who is bullied by his colleagues, what qualifications do you have to challenge the rules set by the prison higher-ups?
The corners of Wang Cong's eyes twitched as anger rose in his heart. It was bad enough that he was bullied and suppressed by his colleagues, but now even some damn prisoners dared to look down on him?
Is it because my electric baton can't break their bones? Wang Cong stared with bloodshot eyes and said hoarsely: "Yes, it's me. I won't be a prison guard forever. I will climb up soon and climb to a high enough position to communicate with the higher-ups."
Feng Mu stood up for Wang Cong at the right time and said, "Wang Cong has been collecting evidence of all kinds of unreasonable things in the prison. He has been suppressed and excluded in the prison for this reason. In the final analysis, his current situation is because he sympathizes with you. He is a good prison guard."
The prisoner was stunned and looked at Wang Cong doubtfully, but his eyes softened a little unconsciously.
Before this, Wang Cong had never realized that there was such a noble motive behind the oppression he suffered, but at this moment he immediately understood Feng Mu's intention and involuntarily straightened his back and chest.
Feng Mu continued to add: "Prison guard Wang Cong is indeed determined and capable of ending the unreasonable fee system of the Second Prison. The only thing he lacks is the opportunity to talk to the higher-ups. Now, his chance has come."
The prisoners wanted to ask more questions, but Feng Mu's face turned cold: "Don't ask too many questions. Just be obedient and hold on for a while, and the remaining problems will be solved naturally."
The prisoners hesitated to speak.
Feng Mu was only gentle on the surface, but his tone was actually very tough: "Search the entire Second Prison. Apart from prison guard Wang Cong and me, no one else will care about your life or death. So you have to understand that if you want to save yourself and live, you have to cooperate and obey."
In the end, the prisoners did not dare to ask any further questions. They looked at Wang Cong and could only grit their teeth and choose to believe him first. After all, this was their only lifeline.
"How long can we hold out?" one of the prisoners couldn't help but ask.
"Don't worry, it won't be long."
Feng Mu did not give a specific time, but promised in a firm tone:
"Soon, you will witness with your own eyes the fastest promotion speed in the history of the Second Prison. He will soar into the sky like a rocket. The entire Second Prison system will undergo earth-shaking changes because of him."
The prisoners understood what Feng Mu meant, and their eyes were all focused on Wang Cong.
Wang Cong was inspired by Feng Mu's words. His heart was filled with blood. His eyes flashed with determination as he scanned each prisoner one by one.
"Sure enough, ambition can temporarily make people forget their fears and catalyze a man's rapid growth and transformation."
Feng Mu stood behind Wang Cong, looking at the latter's straight back, and felt very satisfied. He understood that the first stage of Wang Cong's transformation and training was basically completed.
Next, Wang Cong began to gradually get into the state and role, with less fatigue and irritability on his face and more excitement and gentleness.
In addition, Wang Cong took the initiative to take over from Feng Mu, directing the prisoners to carry the corpses to the incinerator for cremation, and he would communicate with the prisoners from time to time during the process.
Although he is still far from being as gentle and natural as Feng Mu, in terms of friendliness, he is already much better than all the other prison guards in the Second Prison.
In the crematorium, the prisoners lifted the bodies and threw them into the furnace, mechanically throwing them into the blazing furnace. As the hatch slowly closed, everything fell silent.
At this time, the prison boss who was carrying the body suddenly asked in a low voice: "Prison Guard Feng, Prison Guard Wang, I have another question. What if someone is afraid and pays the prison guards? How can we stop this situation?"

Wang Cong didn't say anything. He was also thinking about this question, but he couldn't come up with an answer for the time being. He could only look to Feng Mu for help.
Unknowingly, Feng Mu has become Wang Cong's backbone.
Feng Mu was silent for three seconds, then replied: "You can never stop it from happening the first time, you can only stop it from happening the second time."
The prison boss asked: "How do we stop it from happening again?"
There are 8 to 10 prisoners in a cell at the end of the month, but there are only 4 prisoners, including the cell boss, who came to move the bodies. These 4 people were not chosen randomly by Feng Mu, but were deliberately picked out by him. They were the most stubborn ones according to the records in his little notebook and his verbal observations.
He was just waiting for them to ask this question, and he already had the answer in his mind.
Feng Mu was like a life mentor guiding lost lambs, calmly answering their questions:
"If a group wants to survive in difficult situations, unity is indispensable. The more dangerous the situation, the more unity is needed. For those who destroy unity, we must give equal punishment."
The jailer and the prisoners fell into deep thought.
Then, Feng Mu patted the prison boss's shoulder, glanced at the other prisoners, and said calmly and firmly: "Remember, the first example is always the most powerful example. The power of example is infinite, and it can inspire those who come after to face difficulties together."
The jailer and several other prisoners felt the scorching heat in the air, and felt as if the blood in their bodies, from head to toe, had frozen in an instant.
They swallowed their saliva and looked at each other, seeing their own frightened, stiff, yet eerie and pale faces in each other's eyes.
