"I've seen the Songze people at midnight, and they look nothing like humans."
Sugiura Kumiko's face showed terror as she began to recall, her voice hesitant: "Their skin turns to a damp, dark gray color, with ring-like patterns on the exposed flesh. Their facial features would become deformed, as if devolved. On their wet faces, eyes were no longer visible, only two small holes remained for a nose, and the mouth became a disgusting flesh-sucking disk."
"The Songze people, once transformed into monsters, seem to lose some senses but gain an incredibly sensitive sense of smell. They would use the two holes on their faces and their slimy skin to detect odors and move accordingly."
"And the limbs, yes, the limbs. Arms and legs would shrink, adhering closer to the torso, but they could still move, and fingers could still manipulate tools. However, once transformed into monsters, their actions would be somewhat slower than normal."
