What's behind me?

Bad luck for the demon: it turns out to be Adam's advantage. Bad luck for Adam either: a police officer who was passing by threatens them with his gun.
"No, you're mistaken, Mr. Police Officer, nothing's happening in this alley. No, it's just a wildfire with some friends, it's nothing."
I'll take this opportunity: there are only two scenes in the film where there are people in the streets, and you're watching one of them. Yes, for the rest of the film, the immense city is completely empty. Not a car, not a peep, not a sound, nothing. You'll see, it emphasizes quite a few absurd scenes. It's nice though: after directors who forget to make logical connections between industry email list day and night, here are those who forget to populate cities. We're going in the right direction.
But let's get back to our scene of unbearable suspense.
" Frieze, Maüser fucker! " (I remind you that we are more on the side of the Germanic peoples, I adapt)
Our two fighters are quite surprised by this intervention, and the demon takes the opportunity to escape and use his superhuman speed to kill the law enforcement officer with a blow of his big finger to the carotid artery. Other demons then arrive, Adam immediately takes the opportunity to beat them up frantically, but alas, this still allowed the one he was following at the beginning to escape without giving away the hiding place of Naberius, his master. Goat shit! At this moment, a gargoyle appears out of nowhere and takes Adam high into the air to repatriate him to their cathedral HQ. Things happen, I say, in the alleys!
But Naberius, you will ask me, precisely, where is he?
It's not far, actually. Two blocks from the cathedral, even (true), because he has the whole world to hide in, but he thought it would be nicer to set up shop right across from his eternal enemies' headquarters so he could say hello to them in the morning while eating his Smacks (demons love Smacks). Completely logical. And Naberius, in his human guise, is the boss of a big company interested in all sorts of medical stuff. This is why he recruited Jeannine, an electrophysicist, who works with his good friend Jacques in a local laboratory trying to bring dead creatures back to life, like mice or Garcimore, for example. Note that for mysterious reasons, even the mouse they're working on has a mouth full of scars, like Doctor Frankenstein.
