A positive integer $c$ is given. The sequence $\{p_{k}\}$ is constructed by the following rule: $p_{1}$ is arbitrary prime and for $k\geq 1$ the number $p_{k+1}$ is any prime divisor of $p_{k}+c$ not present among the numbers $p_{1}$, $p_{2}$, $\dots$, $p_{k}$. Prove that the sequence $\{p_{k}\}$ cannot be infinite.
