It appears we start with the multiples of 2
2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, ...
and then we alternate between positive and negative
-2, 4, -6, 8, -10, 12, -14, 16, -18, 20, ...

If that assumption is correct, then the next two values would be -14 and 16 in that order.

Keep in mind that sequence problems like this are fundamentally flawed.
Why is that?

The summary of what I mention is that the sequence 1,2,4 could have infinitely many possible numbers as the fourth term; questions that ask about the next term are often too vague to answer. Further context is needed.

They can be  -14  and  16,

but they are not obliged to be  -14  and  16. 

    Actually, they can be any two numbers, for example, 189 and -17,
   
    or -93 and 7.5, or pi and e,

    or even e%5Epi   and  pi%5Ee.

The question is mathematically incorrect and fundamentally non-sensical.
