(The Disguiser) Hello, Agent Number Three!

“Manli, the first time I saw you, I could smell the world-weary air about you from across the staircase. That scent is something even the top courtesan in a house of pleasure could never fake. You’re a natural seductress. It’s as if your face bears an invisible sign that says ‘prostitute.’ Look closer, and you’ll find a murderous glint hidden in your eyes, while a sinister, almost ghostly air flickers at the corners of your mouth. Even the finest silk qipao looks ominous on you.” “Manchun, the first time I saw you, you dismissed every suspicion with a single ‘future sister-in-law.’ You even blushed, and my heart began to flutter. Women really are emotional creatures. Especially you, who hardly seem like the female devil of Bureau 76 at all.”
