'The string of murders continues. Killer's out and ready for the summer. Extremely dangerous. Don't go out alone. Mainly in Kanto region"

I sat in a back allyway. Watching citizens go by. No one could guess I was the infamous killer. I loved it. Every moment of it. The slip of my sword, the cries of my victims, even the voice of my guidance from my head. The sight of blood is now an everyday view for me. I'm used to it. I sit here everyday. Watching people. Picking my victims. Then to the show, a magnificent act of my favourite show; homicide. What an amazing creation. I leave a symbol at the scene. A sword painted with blood on the ground. The corpse under my art piece. Today I decided to do something different. I was listening to conversations. I could surprise someone if I overheard their arrangements. I heard someone say the perfect thing.
"There's this rumour going around that if you sit in the back of an allyway, and say 'sword of death' the killer will appear and kill you" said a young girl.
She was with two friends. About my age, or younger.
"Should we try?" Asked her friend.
"Go on then" she said.

I followed them down the street and to an allyway. They grouped up together at the bottom, I ran around, and accessed through the back. There was a wall, I stood on top, got my mask out and- Wait! I forgot to tell you about my mask! It's technically just a normal everyday mask you find in Japan. The ones that cover your mouth. Then I have my bandage over my eye. Which isn't optional. I need it.
Anyway! Back to the story!
I put on my mask. When they turned to face the wall, I jumped down in front of them. As they screamed, I pulled my sword out and took the first slash. My signature cut is simply across the area where the heart is. Then stab the centre when they're down. I finished off the other two. A small crowd of people were gathered watching. Since I had my mask, I was safe. This was my first kill in daylight. Well, first three. I normally don't kill students. But these were just asking for it. When I slowly walked towards the crowd, they backed away and ran.
I heard sirens growing near, so I jumped back over the wall so safety. When they arrived, I was gone.
