if we assume the next number as X and divide the series in two halves,we get

2 -16 -76 and 8 44 X

Now, diff. between 2 and -16 is 18
diff. between 8 and 44 is 36
diff. between -16 and -76 is 60

now,18= 3*6, 36=6*6, 60=6*10

again,6-3=3, 10-6=4, so

the diff. between X and 44 is 6*(10+5)=90

so, X = 44+90=134

Hence 134 is the answer.
