Three hundred and ten. 'Safe' basement

```"Divinity, if you truly exist, please come forth and save us now..."

Oliver knelt before the pulpit, his eyes tightly shut as he whispered softly.

The church, bathed in dark crimson, had a long carpet that stretched to the front of the pulpit. The long benches on either side laid bare, the empty seats seemed devoid of presence, yet they felt crowded, silently witnessing the scene.

Oliver scoured his memory for all the prayers he knew and quietly opened his eyes.

The broken windows showed clouds outside as dark red as blood, with circling shadows that never dissipated.

As expected, it was futile.

Mocking himself, Oliver got up and began moving benches to barricade the door, along with the corpse of the monstrous creature that nearly frightened him to death, bat-like in size.

After blocking the door, Oliver started to search for the entrance to the basement inside the church. He didn't know where it was and had to find it the hard way.
