I haven't think of this and did it in another way.

My method is not correct as we will get 5 in the place of 4. However, I will tell the idea of my method assuming that there is 5 instead of 4 :
8 1 − 1 9 6 2 − 1 9 4 3 − 1 9 2 4 − 1 9 5 ∣ 8 5 − 1 9 6 6

@A Former Brilliant Member – Thank you. I first thought there was a typo in the question and was about to report it but when I saw your solution I confirmed that 4 should be the correct one.
The sequence can be written as
8 1 , 6 2 , 4 3 , 2 4 , 0 4 , 8 5 , . . .
Shifting the comma ( , ) on left by one position, we get
8 , 1 6 , 2 4 , 3 2 , 4 0 , 4 8 , 5 6 , 6 4 , . . .
Its a sequence of multiples of 8
Using this after we put the commas to original positions we get our next number, 6 6
