Infinite Survival: The winner takes all!

At this point, Li Ming paused for a moment, and then continued: "Three hundred years ago, the demon on the other side of the whirlpool crack lured Lawrence Finite into signing a confidentiality contract."

"We can roughly deduce the contents of that confidentiality contract."

"The devil has given Fenit outstanding wisdom, and this wisdom can be passed down from generation to generation after his death, passively passed on to the next person with the closest blood relationship."

"In this way, the Lawrence family can ensure eternal prosperity and remain firmly at the pinnacle of power no matter how the times change."

"This is also the fundamental reason why their family inheritance has not declined at all for hundreds of years."

"Of course, the devil is not a philanthropist. There must be a price, and the price is extremely high."

"In exchange, the Lawrence family will bear a curse, and every child born will suffer a test of spiritual pollution."

"This test is actually like a sacrifice. For those children who fail to survive, their souls will be mercilessly taken away by the devil."

"Perhaps, at the beginning, the power of this curse was not significant and its impact was relatively limited."

"However, as time passed, the Lawrence family gradually became aware of a frightening fact - the number of children who could successfully survive the mental pollution was rapidly decreasing."

"Not only that, as the heirs of the family, they have to bear additional pain."

"That is, if they want to reach a normal life span, they must send a large number of people to the caves to sacrifice them regularly."

"But this kind of thing is inhumane and carries huge risks. Once the secret is revealed, the Lawrence family will face irreversible disaster."

Hearing this, Cecily frowned deeply and said, "Didn't they ever think about resisting?"

"Of course I have thought about it, and some heirs have even taken action." Li Ming responded in a deep voice, "But as ordinary people, there is only one result for their resistance, and that is to die young and pass the curse to the next generation."

Cecily was stunned for a moment, then snorted coldly, with a hint of dissatisfaction in her tone, "If any heir among them is really brave enough, he should resolutely kill all the family members and completely cut off this damn thing." curse!"

Li Ming chuckled, shook his head, and explained: "Things are not that simple. Unless you kill everyone on this planet, the curse will not end."

"Ah? Why?" Cecily turned her head in surprise.

Li Ming took a deep breath and sighed: "Because the devil's contract is extremely deceptive."

"Theoretically, as long as you trace back far enough, everyone can find the same ancestor. This also means that people on the same planet have distant or close blood relationships."

"The cunning thing about this contract is that even if all the Lawrence family members die, the curse will automatically find the closest blood relatives to pass on."

"So, on the surface, this genetic contract is to ensure that the Lawrence family will always prosper, but in fact, its true purpose is to ensure that this curse will never be broken."

The other three people couldn't help but feel chills in their hearts as they listened to Li Ming's detailed explanation.

Once this contract is signed, it actually falls into an unsolvable deadlock, from which one cannot escape and can only be at its mercy.

After a while, Xingmei asked with full of doubts and thoughts: "So, what is the real purpose of this demon? Is it just to continuously obtain new sacrifices to satisfy itself?"

"Of course not." Li Ming replied coldly, "The devil always has only one purpose, and that is to come to this world, completely pollute and destroy it, and turn this vibrant planet into the scene of our last game - Death Star.”

"How do you know this?" Cecily's eyes were filled with surprise and curiosity.

"It's simple, we can infer it from the game pass conditions."

Li Ming saw the questioning looks from Cecily and Xingmei. He paused and continued: "After confirming the source of the curse, the methods to break the curse can basically be summarized into the following three types."

"First, use special powers to directly dispel the curse."

"Second, exterminate the human race in this world."

"Third, get rid of the source of the curse - the tentacle demon."

"The first method obviously does not exist. The system will definitely take this situation into consideration when matching games. You can clear the game with just one ability to dispel the curse. How can it be so cheap?"

"Needless to say the second method."

"Therefore, there is actually only one way to break the curse, which is to completely kill the demon."

"But here's the problem. We can't go through the cracks to another world with our strength. If we want to kill the devil in this case, we can only let it come to our world."

"So, based on the clearance conditions, we can infer that the devil's purpose must be to come to this world. Otherwise, we will not be able to complete the mission."

After hearing this, the three of them barely understood the general outline of the matter, but there were still many questions in their hearts.

After Cecily thought for a moment, she said with enlightenment: "Is the reason why you chose to sacrifice those people, including Fumida Xiang and the others, just to speed up the coming of the devil?"

"That's right." Li Ming replied calmly, "Besides, it is useless to sacrifice ordinary people. Only people with supernatural abilities can do it. The stronger the ability, the better the effect."

Cecily was stunned for a moment, her eyes met with Xingmei's, and the two looked confused again.

"How do you know this?"

Li Ming explained in a calm tone: "This inference is actually not complicated. If the goal can be achieved by sacrificing ordinary people, why does the devil have to go to all the trouble to come three hundred years ago?"

"In fact, the devil gave the heir of the Lawrence family outstanding wisdom, but he actually had no good intentions at all."

"No matter who is the heir with outstanding wisdom, he will try his best to break the curse."

"Then, they will be 'surprised' to find that the descendants of superpowers are more resistant to mental pollution, and that sacrificing superpowers can extend their lifespan."

"Now, do you know why the vast majority of superpowers don't come back alive after coming to the Lawrence family?"

Cecily continued his words: "For they were all sacrificed."

Li Ming nodded slightly and sighed softly: "Yes, this plays into the devil's hands."

"However, Lawrence Kraft, the heir of this generation, must have sensed something was wrong. Otherwise, he would not have said something like, 'Break the curse, and the world will owe us a debt of gratitude.'"

"Of course, this is reasonable."

"After all, the demons will use their bodies as containers when they come, and they have sacrificed so many superpowers. They will more or less have some induction and warning."

"Although Lawrence Kraft could not disclose any specific content to me due to contractual restrictions, he understood my intentions and I also understood his difficult situation. That is why he was so cooperative with me."

At this time, Xingmei asked her doubts, "Why does the devil know that there are superpowers in this world?"

"About this..." Li Ming thought for a moment and then slowly said, "I suspect it is caused by the space cracks in the vortex."

"When two completely different worlds are linked, the rules of the world are likely to undergo subtle changes, allowing a very small number of people to awaken weak powers, and the devil knows this."

This explanation sounded reasonable, Xingmei bit her red lips and nodded slightly.

However, Cecily seemed to have thought of something again, and she asked: "Then a few days ago, you took us on an inspection tour around the world. What was your purpose?"

"You can only get clearance rewards for killing demons, but score rewards..." Li Minggang was about to explain in detail, but suddenly he noticed that the sky suddenly changed, and the entire sky was shrouded in darkness.

He raised his eyes and saw that the monster in front of him had expanded into a behemoth more than 100 meters high, exuding a terrifying aura.

"The devil is about to come in full force, let's get down to business first!"
